SCP Foundation

I didn't know this was something that I needed in my life. Thank you. +1

This is a good idea but it needs to be watched somewhat closely to avoid being filled with crap like 682.

EDIT: Doesn't the SpongeBob log contradict the Lion King one?

Agreeing with Baubius that I didn't know I wanted this in my life.

Also I added a thing.

Nevermind, I'm an idiot. I will still add something here someday.

The Zombies are incinerated and the aliens are arrested for "Unlawful Reanimation of the dead." The SCP-3922-A Instances are latter seen stealing Notes for the solaronite bomb.

Re: A New Hope.

The seizing of the Blockade Runner in the opening is of questionable and canon-contested legality. For 3922 not to interfere there The rebel "stealing" of the Death Star plans must be a valid crime¹, the Imperials must have legal jurisdiction in the Outer Rim² or a valid extradition treaty that makes police action legal³, and fleeing the imperials must not be recognized as a crime.⁴ Alternatively, the Outer Rim could be entirely a lawless zone, but that doesn't seem to matter to 3922.

Things get even more complicated once Leia is brought to the Death Star. As it's clearly under Imperial law, Leia's imprisonment⁵ must be lawful. This means the military possesses the power to decide guilt without a trial. However, they then cross that law by declaring Alderaan guilty and/or⁶ carrying out the sentence of death.

3922 is also unconcerned with the Millennium Falcon entering imperial space. Han is certainly guilty of Smuggling, Ben Kenobi is wanted for treason and possession of an illegal weapon, Chewbacca is a runaway slave⁷, but Luke might be innocent.

Anyway, +1 for letting me rant about Star Wars Legal issues. I'm interested in writing logs for Blues Brothers, Django Unchained, and/or The Matrix, but I'm unclear on if 3922 follows local ordinances or its own moral code, or some combination.

I had an idea, but I wanted to bring it up here rather than attempt to set a precedent about this SCP: what does 3922 do with works of historical fiction?

My example is the musical 1776, which is about the (not-yet) US Congress in the days leading up to declaring independence against Britain. Which would be more likely:

1. Cobernic troops storm the hall during the opening number and detain the members of all legislatures of colonies where slavery was legal at the time, or,

2. As the film does not deviate meaningfully from known US history, there is no interference, save for the scene in which Edward Rutledge criticizes Thomas Jefferson for advocating abolition while still owning slaves. When a tense Jefferson responds with a vow to free his slaves, a Cobernic trooper is shown just out of focus, nodding sternly.

3922 can affect non-fictional footage according to the author:

Termination Test Record: SCP-3922 was used with a ten-minute recording of security footage taken of SCP-682 during a containment breach. The objective was to witness a plausible termination of SCP-682 and replicate the results. The video was altered into a 72-hour military epic film titled "Sisyphus Among The Living," displaying an unsuccessful full-scale military assault on SCP-682 by instances of SCP-3922-A. The cast included Alan Rickman as "Commandant Marius", the SCP-3922-A officer tasked with leading SCP-682's termination, and Michael Clarke Duncan as "Lieutenant Havisham", the apparent protagonist of the first third of the film. No lethal damage to SCP-682 is observed. At the end of the film, the last surviving SCP-3922-A stormtrooper (played by Patrick Swayze) activates an experimental device that teleports at least five instances of gigantic primates (analogous to the description of SCP-PC-003) onto the battlefield. The final shot is of SCP-682 laughing as the creatures approach and the 1968 song "Livin' in the Sunlight, Lovin' in the Moonlight" by Tiny Tim plays in the background. The end title card reads "TO BE CONTINUED".

Since Dave has said that Spongebob is fair game, I have readded my entry. Apologies for the back and forth on this entry.

I've added a Macbeth test, and then canceled my own test.

Feel free to re-approve live¹ testing if you want. I just wanted to show the foundation considering and not doing a stupid thing.

3922 might not affect non-fictional footage, but what about anomalous footage based on non-fictional footage? What happens if 3922 is placed next to a Betamax playing back 1981?

Can 3922 affect a video game? What about an FMV game? A radio drama? A book?
