Oversimplified SCP - Ch. 136 - SCP-451

[MangaDex]

 

[Scrwd]

Imagine thinking that, after being so lonely for so long, you finally meet another human being only for them to disappear moments after

 

[Ekfreet]

This is so sad. Alexa play Mockingbird.

 

[scpfoundation]

new favorite.

 

[Hasina]

who tf thought of that
it's just sad

 

[LazyDays]

How sad, guess tgis makes him the loneliest man ever

 

[AgentKuga]

wtf

 

[WhimsiCat]

@Hasina : Someone who was lagging hard that the server boot him back to offline mode I guess.

Is there a reason why the dying researcher didn't tell him the truth or something?

what about if the foundation starts bringing in terminal patients or death row convicts to communicate with the guy?

Oversimplified indeed.....

 

[Cython]

Isnt this supposed to be a soldier?someone explained a scp really similar to this on one of the chapters

 

[Ryomi]

@no168_92 i think that would make things worse. People have only little time before dying, so they wouldn't be able to fully communicate the whole situation, not to mention that knowing that he's surrounded by people and yet incapable of seeing them or interacting with them for what is possibly the rest of his life would only hurt him more.

 

[Chizan]

A bit similar to the plot of The Quiet Earth

On the bright side, by the looks of it, he might be immune to the more dangerous SCPs...

@no168_92 If the shot researcher was bleeding out he wouldn't be able to talk more than a few sentences, if he had the strength and undamaged lungs to do so. Plus the SCP effect seems to affect the victim's perception only, so when 451 immediately lost focus on the victim and started to think of getting him help he stopped being about to perceive the victim and their words completely.

 

[AEnigmatrix]

I feel like I've seen this kind of plot before.

 

[Phantop]

I swear I’ve seen this exact SCP in this manga before...

@Ryomi
@HDMI1

after speed reading the SCP 451 page

Spoiler

and his Journal page

I've come to the conclusion, the original author wasn't very attentive to the minor details from the very beginning....
the near death part interaction was only 1 sentence long on both pages...

Why bother feeding him false info in the first place? shifting dimensions? why not leave around files on the supposed artifact causing this actually making him lose perception of other humans in the first place?

he can interact with certain SCPs, what about animals? machines? etc...

what about physical interaction? if he got punched, does he feel it?

this chapter didn't oversimplify it much, the original writing itself wasn't that solid as much as other more popular and well written SCP goes IMHO. that's all from me.

@AEnigmatrix @Phantop It was probably a JoJo Stand at one point.

 

[Psychronia]

How did they communicate with him? Did they send a dying D-class? Or would a normal note actually work, in which case, surely they can brief him on the whole situation as is.

 

[VladDracul2]

@no168_92 As it turns out, the dying researcher DID manage to communicate with him, his first and last words that he managed to utter before succumbing to his wounds even got recorded for future reference:

"Motherfucker you shot me!"

@Psychronia He can read documents and interact with things if he is intentionally 'looking for it' (not giving to him by other), however the moment he looks away, their present are gone and he will never able to 'find' them again. He's like the extreme reverse case of a Xmen called Forget-Me-Not. The false information was planned in the place where he was intentionally looking for clues about his anomaly. It's like planning false information onto your own secret vault, so any spy looking for them would believe to be real.
