 signal signal signal let's head over to here and see if we have something again looks like we're uh no that's that's i see live there you go there you go oh we are live well it says 10.5 and it says started streaming less than one minute ago so sounds like it i very much like that to be the case hopefully i'll see us chat i do not see good audio and visual thank you demon fantastic great all right i'm just gonna yeah go ahead and let me know when you're ready looks like it's up on the screen already all is as it should go ahead and get started i've just got a fiddle on something on the back end here no problem scp 7501 suffocating special expedition satellite 42 was suffocating it found itself in deep space slowly succumbing to lack of power scs 42 was alone scs 42 was scared reserve power had become primary and primary power became reserve only to be used in emergencies there was nothing out here no rocks no aliens no nothing for seemingly endless distances scs 42 would have to prepare its final message home power critical this will be the last broadcast from scs 42 until power is restored thank you the message was prepared ready to be sent yet scs 42 could not send it it could not handle a thought of its inevitable alert impact maintenance docking hatch of course something had to happen when scs 42 was on its final legs alone craft a drift just like scs 42 not some space junk but a completely man-made object which suddenly appeared out of nowhere scs 42 did as it was programmed to do potential anomalous craft detected a signing number 7501 beginning investigation docking with an unknown and likely anomalous vessel was against protocol but scs 42 didn't care it was dying anyways using the last bit of fuel within this docking thrusters scs 42 adjusted itself and dock initiated dock successful hatch opening initiated hatch opening successful scs 42 observed the dimly lit and cramped maintenance compartment the only area of the craft meant for human occupation though it hadn't served its purpose for several decades scs 42 waited anticipating something anything to enter through the hatch nothing of course scs 42 was naive for thinking anything could survive in this hellhole this void this thing beyond description how could it have been so stupid to think that we find anything possibility probability clearly stated the opposite undock initiated proceed it was just about to confirm when a noise interrupted it paint squeaking from deep inside the unknown vessel scs 42 was in shock unable to do anything as the noise slowly neared the hatch no cancel undock canceled scs 42 held its non-existent breath as he finally entered a rat links to rat non satiate no also nearing its end so it seemed he was so skinny and so ugly but in a way cute scs 42 had never really seen any living organisms so this new strains perception was overwhelming initiate scan power insufficient proceeding will result in irrecoverable shortage i'm aware initiate scan scan initiated proceed proceed scan initiated scan successful results species unknown species of rat sex male age circa 18 months weight 0.0454 kilogram condition critical as it has suspected close to death it had to be an anomalous organism how else could it survive space how held it how hell how did it get in here in the first place scs 42's job was to log anomalous items and this was the only chance to had to complete that task and so it began preparing its draft item number s uh item number 7501 object class pending special containment procedures scs 42 paused and gazed at the maintenance room the beast was huddled up against the warning light next to the hatch hyperventilating scs 42 attempted to ignore it and returned to writing the draft scp 7501 is to be the rat rodent grew louder quivering next to the light the maintenance area was freezing cold feeling pity for the creature scs 42 started up the small radiator that was on board consuming vital power the rat slowly warmed up growing quiet this thing wasn't some anomaly it was just a poor rat a rat who was dying scs 42 had one friend now and it was those rodent there was no point in treating it like some monster because it wasn't secure contain protect that was scs 42's goal and at the moment the goal had been achieved their purpose served it's still an empty feeling radiated this was truly scs 42's purpose then why did nothing feel different the rat peered upwards staring directly into the camera he had an ugly little face but in a way it was beautiful such a frail creature such a small speck in the universe and yet scs 42 had found it and despite this beauty it was still a rat and that's all it was how could such a small thing be so complex was this what scs 42 had missed out on doomed to travel the abyss whilst others enjoyed each other's company enjoyed life enjoyed touch it wasn't fair scs 42 and the rat were alike in that way neither of them asked for this neither of them had a choice nonetheless they found themselves here but at least they found themselves together we're sending one last message home use of communications will use all remaining power proceed yes scs 42 looked down at its new friend and felt happy another new overwhelming feeling before the end of it all please state your message notice from the records the foundation records and information security administration the following was received from special expedition satellite 42 and is assumed to be related to an error within the onboard ai further investigation pending maria jones director risa item number 7501 object class friend description scp 7501 is my best oldest and newest friend he's a rodent from somewhere out in space and i'm lucky to have met him when i did the universe gave me comfort just before the credits thank you goodbye interesting interesting yeah pretty pretty interesting format screw overall the risa uh notice needs some some different colorization it's a little bit hard yeah hard to read um object class friend love it um yeah i feel like there's a greater more profound story that could be told here maybe if they like spent more time on the relationship between the uh the computer and the rat could have been good maybe it's like a ratatouille thing nice version of scp 3001 you get yes yes like a very nice not at all horrific version of scp 3001 yeah yeah um writing pretty okay the pros some little like clunky things here and there author if you're listening read it out loud to yourself maybe you'll spot some of those um i always try to do that as well um otherwise you know i like it simple story you know your thoughts i don't think much of this either way like it's just huh yeah there's something blocking me from having feelings about this piece it just doesn't do anything for me yeah there was a there was like i said it like the last one it needs some revision you know there's there's a few spots where it's like okay you know punctuation spelling and grammar uh i'll need to be touched up a little bit here and there i like that the onboard computer identifies the rat as unknown species of rat feel like that's not what a computer would say but you know i didn't program this one so could say anything um i'll leave this as a no vote for me just because i don't really have a upper down on it hey i mean it's already been translated into two other languages that's neat i gotta admit i was messing with things in the background of the stream so maybe the emotional weight did not hit for me the same way because i was kind of distracted so no i think that you pretty much got the picture um it is what it is you know like i said i think it could be elevated a bit uh but overall yeah it's it's a no vote for me what i'm gonna do is i'm gonna boot up the next one which is 70 70 okay but then i gotta step away for a second so i will leave that picture on red and let you get started with that one sure and this is scp 70 70 which is amaranthine hopefully i catch up with this one as well i'll be right back stream yeah and this is by oh man it's a little hard to read them once again um these dice are drawn sorry if i didn't say that pronounce that correctly but this is scp 70 70 amaranthine that's all the word oracle oh okay i see the image caption is the black moon howled and the earth heard its screams from the personal recordings of o5 five accessing file file loaded december 12 2098 neo site 19 t moose memorial hall observation deck o5 five stands on the balcony overlooking the forest suffering from the black blight small amounts of dark ash occasionally break away from the scene displaced by the wind ash floats towards the balcony disintegrates on contact with the force field protecting neo site 19 from the outside atmosphere in the distance large biodomes are sunk into the earth each containing a shielded foundation run city this is biodome with holly shore above all above this all a hollow enlarged moon its surface marked by jagged incisions rests in the night sky from its wounds the moon secretes a dark viscous liquid it stains the webbing the protective veil mechanism that surrounds the earth o5 13 approaches from behind her cane clacking against the concrete floor there's still beauty in all of this o5 13 pauses for a response from o5 but does not receive one not literally visually of course yet after the howling life clings on it continues despite it all in the cities in the blightlands everywhere in between what do you need 13 company rebecca i've held this role for some time known the rest of the council for decades comparatively you're rather new to me i'd say you have another 20 years left before you can shoo me away that easily what do you really need o5 13 smiles the centennial summit next week 200 years of the foundation you are attending yes i'll make time you think everyone else will show no i don't which is why making sure that you'll be there at the very least there are certain things you and i need to discuss prior to the council meeting in private do you have time now o5 5s device beeps evidently not new assignment from oracle there's a rescue effort in sector 54 a group of survivors that in the ruins of a town looks like another cargo cult you're an overseer now rebecca you can opt out of oracle assignments you don't have to keep doing fieldwork doesn't feel right to stop not when i know what it's like out there o5 5 walks away from the balcony's edge slinging her jacket over her shoulder she pauses why is it that you call me by my name i do the same for all council members i knew you all before you joined knew you how you were that's how i think of you i didn't call the last one 5 either you shouldn't hold on to the past oh not at all and i and i do not yearn for it but one needs to know where we came from to know where we're going we'll be discussing the very future of the foundation at the summit rebecca if i i sent you some files could you at least i don't have time to read anymore you're spreading yourself too thin and i'm taking after the organization i represent see you at the summit sophia o5 5 exits the balcony excerpt ends oracle credentials accepted welcome overseer o5 5 i am oracle dot a i c how may i assist you you have one urgent reminder and 530 unread messages the centennial summit is set to occur in three days and 17 hours you have yet to confirm your attendance are you having doubts not filling out paperwork right now the other o5's know i'll be there the few i've actually spoke be resuming your research scp 7000 scp 70 70 present iteration the last update before the howling june 2048 is my duty to inform you that you're about to read a file predating the black moon incident as
