So i came upon an idea of a SCP that is a portal that leads to parallel universes . For example, each entry leads to different parallel universe . I came up to what i think is a reasonable containment procedure consisting of a perimeter wall around the 2 km radius of the SCP posing as a military base . All i need now is a better grasp of the idea . Any help is well-appreciated
I mean, this is the bare bones of an idea. Parallel universes have been done a lot of times but without telling us what is different or interesting about this universe, there's not a lot of help we can offer. Are you wanting to do multiple universes or just the one? What's different about these universes?
Well im planning to write multiple universes each different than the other . Am still, working on the description (which im currently having trouble of) but im thinking i will create expedition logs for different universes
Okay here's how to refine the idea and make it REALLY interesting. At least in my humble opinion. First off, have this SCP usable from the other sideas well, as in, entities can access the Foundation universe. Which has several disturbing implications, which I'll try to list. So the most obvious and immediate idea that might occur to you, is alternate universe versions of SCP's like 2399, 682, 106 and 173 coming through. I'd recommend against this, but it does give you a way to also introduce related SCP's and new original concepts to the setting.
The next is the idea of Multi-Universe entities, empires and factions, trying to get into our reality. Things like Lovecraftian elder gods peeking in on us, like viewing an ant farm. Powerful factions and states like alternate universe Nazi Germany, ruling the world, The south winning the civil war, a universe with SCP-1000 still in-charge or something similar to the combine of Half-Life and Burning Legion of Warcraft. Seeking to control, conquer and expand their influence. As such the neutralisation of this SCP would be a high priority. It could be speculated that a lot of SCP's entered our reality this way. Also it'd make sense if there was similar barriers/perimeters in other universes, stopping foundation personnel from entering and investigating. As such this SCP could in fact, exist in multiple realities at once, and be indestructible. Requiring a facility just to house and seal off the threat, it poses.
I'm not sure how you would use it yet. Maybe a device like a stargate dialling system or using a switch/lever to shift it?
YES THANK YOU FOR THE SUDDEN BOOST OF IDEAS . Also i dont know either euclid or keter is suitable for this . I feel like keter is too strong while euclid is too soft
I think Keter is the better rating here, given the threat of other entities entering our reality. Sure these could be minor nuisance SCP's that are Safe/Euclid level threats. But there's also possibilities, like worlds full of SCP-008 or 217 victims shambling through. Aforementioned multi-universe societies looking to expand their territory, a world populated and controlled by Anderson Robotics. It could even show much older versions of Earth, like one still ruled by the Dinosaurs.
I think a means of blocking entry should be eventually added by the Foundation to at least limit the amount of anomalies that pass through. And Drones would probably be used initially to examine new worlds. Though I think they'll need to keep updating the security, I can see certain entities like new cognitohazards and animal/humanoids slipping through, while establishing these new protocols. Maybe the Fingertip/Fingernail of some massive Eldritch Horror gets sheared off, by the portal being changed. This new item becoming an SCP they'll have to contain?
http://scp-sandbox-3.wikidot.com/jlmerv this is my temporary draft for now, please correct any grammar mistakes if u wish too .Anyways , im gonna agree on Proffessor here he does have a point that different hazards might enter , so i decided to up the OC to Keter .Also am still having some difficulties with the description . So basically theres a pyramid-like object that powers the gate but i still have trouble describing the process , am still planning to expedition logs
Well first off, you would want a full facility around the object, not just a base built around it. As I understood it, something could enter and fly off into the world, it might be impervious to the weapons on base, but if it realises it's boxed in, it might simply return to its home dimension. I'd cut out the line about expeditions, being only carried out by certain personnel. The foundation uses D-Class and exploration teams, depending on the situation. Also Artifical means would be listed as 'unmanned drones'. You need to bold Item, Object Class, Description and Special Containment Procedures.
I also need a better description of the pyramid. How big is it? How to people exit it? Also change the indestructible bit, so it simply states. 'SCP-XXXX-1 is indestructible, all previous attempts at destruction have met with failure.' I know it's only a temp draft, but those were the first things I noticed.
http://scp-sandbox-3.wikidot.com/jlmerv okay somethings has been updated to suit the SCP more better . I still feel like theres a large aount of grammar mistakes in it . Anyways am still working on the expeditions . Feel free to hit me up with ideas to buff the SCP up
