 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to skip dictation live in case you're new to the channel My name is Sherman and this is the live stream. We get to hang out with me while I do all my recording I'll set up the chat down here in the corner so we can Answer questions and comments in between takes If you guys feel like hanging out this normally takes about an hour or so We've had some epic three-hour live streams before but this is not gonna be one of those Today we are recording the sherms declassified skip survival guide for SCP 3043 Which is titled Murphy law in type 3043 for murder? And it is one of my very favorite SCPs. I am It's audio adaptation is actually the reason I make these really elaborate skips because It was so good in Like it had the film noir feel That I had to do a good job with background music and I got voice actors to help me out friends of mine So we made a big radio play out of 3043. It's one of my favorite recordings and Yeah, all the elaborate things this channel has done since then all spawned from me wanting to cover that just as Really good as I could Little bit of channel news exciting We have a patreon patron now. I know it's crazy Dylan thrasher is the man is a gentleman and a scholar and a literal patron of the arts because Site 42 now has a patron. We have one one patron if you want to help out The link is below or it will be when the live stream is done patreon.com Slash the shirm, which is T H E E shirm That's the patreon. If you want to add in that's awesome. It helps us keep this channel going so Let's get down to business we're gonna start in with sherms declassified survival guide 3043 oh and BT dubs I Did not do a Livestream of the survival guide for 3 9 9 9 in case you were looking for that after I did 3 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 I did not do a live stream for that one because I wanted that first episode to be a surprise So surprise new show and now we'll do skip dictations of those as well so Without further ado, let's start at the top Microphone weird that it didn't start at the one second mark All right, here we go. All right, so my stomach just gurgled. I'm not sure if you heard that Messages messages messages All right, here we go from the top guys and dolls welcome to sherms declassified skip survival guide Today we're gonna. Oh my gosh My microphone spiked so hard there. Oh my lord Okay, let's uh try that again a little more casual Guys and dolls welcome to sherms declassified skip survival guide today. We're going to be exploring scp 3043 by the great hippo This skip is one of my favorites and making the audio adaptation of it Is what inspired me to start making more complex skips with music sound effects and guest voices And that led to this series. So if you like this channel, thank the great hippo For my research, I would also like to thank the great hippo for basically writing this episode By talking to me via private message on the wiki as well as tv tropes for being that beautiful hell I mean well of information Now let's get started the short version scp 3043 is a 1937 olympia elite typewriter Formerly stored in a secure locker at site 95 Its anomalous property was that it had the ability to rewrite any story that contained it This included the thoughts you had about the object in your head Arriving in foundation custody. It started rewriting its own documentation And the thoughts of containment personnel who were used to write it into the scp's Whoop stutter And the thoughts of containment personnel Hey, we got through a paragraph and a half without messing up. That's a good start. Where was I? And the thoughts of containment personnel who were used to write it into other scp's documentation With a goal of overrunning the entire foundation database A containment breach occurred during site 95 Not during site 95 Put it back The goal of overrunning the entire foundation database A containment breach occurred causing site 95 to drop out of contact for three hours After contact was restored all skips in their documentation were contained and accounted for correctly except scp 3043 Which is found in dr. Lewis's office neutralized by two 44 caliber bullets All copies of its special containment procedures were anomalously altered into the movie script format that you see throughout the skip story I want to go back and see if I read that right Nice. I got it. All right. Keep it running. Keep it running. Keep it running Then Murphy law the main character of that script seems to be another anomalous entity completely unrelated to scp 3043 And unregistered in the foundation scp database But enough foreplay. It's time to go into the deep dive You don't need to understand all the tropes of the film noir genre to understand the skip at vase value But to get it at CD underbelly. Here's a crash course of the essentials Film noir is a dark and cynical genre. Our heroes aren't necessarily good guys. And even though they are honorable They're usually ready to get their hands a little dirty for a job that was too much trouble in the first place Also being a nominally good guy in a cramped sack world the end of most wars don't end The most end of most rulers Actually, that's a fine break there Cut it up back to this hand The end of most noirs don't end too well for the protagonist A good example of a modern day noir character would be Rorschach from watchmen This skip story is only really a pseudo noir We get a lot of the window dressing like whiskey driving in the rain Fisticuffs with goons who outnumber the protagonist and a trademark hat coat revolver combo for our gruff anti hero But in the end, it's definitely a much more happy ending than your typical noir That was purposeful meant to give their reader a rip roaring good time adventure rather than the existential crisis at the end Which let's face it the scp wiki has existential doom and gloom for days Good time adventure rather than the existential crisis at the end which Let's face it the scp wiki has existential doom and gloom for days Good time adventure rather than the existential crisis at the end which Let's face it the scp wiki has existential doom and gloom for days beg your pardon Sorry if you were number one for that sneeze introduction, haha And I said that last line wrong and I can't it's gonna bug me if I don't fix it I'll do it from meant to give the reader a rip roaring good time Even in rehearsal that uh that line always threw me off meant to give the reader a rip roaring good time adventure rather than an existential crisis at the end which Let's face it the scp wiki has existential doom Drat saying the scp wiki has existential doom and gloom for days Tripped me up every time in rehearsal and I'm not sure why it's not that hard to line Let's face it the scp wiki has existential doom and gloom for days All right time to run and gun through the plot We open with an email from site director august explaining that everything is mostly back to normal But something went down and they all woke up with what i'm going to call a film noir hangover He identifies that scp 3043 has been rubbed out and that its documentation has been altered No one remembers this murphy law guy that the procedures mentioned But either he helped save the day or he wants the foundation to think he saved the day Investigations pending. Let's move on to our first collapsible The item number collapsible is meant to introduce our main character and the start of our conflict through our favorite noir trope gratuitous inner monologue Like any noir worth its salt the catalyst is a dame walking into our intrepid detective's office She's even got amnesia to boot We get some quality banter. Don't call me toots. I've got a booping doctorate I don't like the way I deliver that. I'm gonna boop that out because live streaming I'll say it. It's fair That's it's in the line of dialogue Don't call me toots. I've got a fucking doctorate Showing the dr. Lewis has some self-awareness outside of what's happening with this noir stuff And after a round of questions We find out at the very least that murphy knows of the foundation and has a dislike for their protocols He reluctantly accepts the case anyways. Don't they always? And we get our title drop fun fact that I didn't catch after reading this dozens of times But each collapsible ends with a stinger line with the information it is supposed to contain So the item number that was just a flub simple flub With the information that it is supposed to contain So the item number collapsible's last line contains the item number inside murphy law in type three zero four three four murder We're going to see that happen for the next two longs as well. And I think we can all appreciate the cleverness Also, let's double those cleverness points for the ref And on to the last takes doing good doing good also Let's double those cleverness points for the reference to alfred hitchcock's dial m for murder Also, also sidebar. How the hell did we get nearly a hundred years from the beginnings of the film noir genre? Without someone having done the phrase on murphy law I'm the guy you call when everything that could go wrong did That's genius. I will fight anyone who says otherwise The object class collapsible starts with another out of character moment for dr. Lewis who recognizes the time jump between scenes They fill us in with a little more exposition using that old Oh, my memory is gone But I remember this detail that's definitely important to the plot trope And we turn murphy law towards site 95 proper Right before he walks in the door. We get the object class stinger. It isn't safe. Mr. Law It's keter And by the way, I'm gonna throw this out here Uh, I get this comment all the time and I'm probably gonna have to make a video about this At some point I'm probably going to make that after I finish recording this just to have it to throw out there, but Keter and keter are both Canon pronunciations on the wiki. You can say either one Uh A lot of people like keter because it looks like meter and it just rhymes like that way But there was something on there Someone shared that like it had a Hebrew root and that's why you pronounced it keter And so because it's got the Hebrew root I thought that was like technically correct for like a researcher a researcher would say keter Whereas like a security officer might say keter Because they're a little more rough and tumble So you've got different people who say in different ways at least in my head. That's how it goes Maybe you're not paying any attention to keter keter at all keter keter Anyways, where was I yep note to self make keter keter video that way people stop Being like you're saying it wrong It's keter Sidebar part two Fun fact Murphy isn't wearing his seatbelt in this scene Specifically as a shout out to rick sanchez who is apparently a quintessential noir protagonist Cut to me in an alternate dimension doing a deep dive explaining that The special containment procedures collapsible is our midpoint and fittingly We have a confrontation with a no good son of a gun in a position of power over our downtrodden anti hero August is the upper class kind of villain who sends in goons because he doesn't like to get his hand dirty His hand his single hand did I mention that august only has one hand? He only has one hand now That's my head cannon hands dirty. He has two of them August starting with the word august August is the upper class kind of villain who sends in goons because he doesn't like to get his hands dirty The perfect foil from murphy Lots of card metaphors later. We get our first fight We get our fist fight not first fight It is our first fight, but it's also a fist fight and it's more important to be a fist fight than a first fight Lots of card metaphors later We get our fist fight and a classic plot twist slash red herring of SCP 3043 is you mr. Law Finally the special containment procedure stinger foreshadows What is ultimately going to contain slash technically neutralize scp 3043 when murphy says if the foundation can't contain it I'll have to contain it myself The description collapsible Collapsible is a really hard word to say I'm just throwing that out there. I sound a little more like john wane than I do shawn uh, shawn's the guy who voiced murphy law because I wanted to get another voice because I didn't think I could do that particular voice as well as he could The description collapsible is definitely our climactic showdown We get the big reveal of our true villain scp 3043 Hilariously, it seems like the narrative anomalies used by our combatants cancel each other out. So neither is affected by the other scp 3043 tries to use dr. Lewis to take out murphy But that's exactly how a femme fatale would act in a noir film So murphy is able to keep us cool We end the action with murphy taking 3043 out instead of sparing him because as he says He's no hero We get two great moments from 3043 that I'd like to highlight The first is the metatextual cleverness in the line This is supposed to be my story not yours In the way that it's both in narrative having its plans foiled And in the meta murphy law has straight up jacked 3043's main list entry and made it all about himself The second is how the fuck are you rewriting my story into your own fucking stupid Humphrey Bogart fanfic nonsense Because come on that's comedy right there the description collapsible Description collapsible is an impossible phrase. Nobody can say it out loud No one can do it on the first try Sounds like my mouth is full of marbles. Come on. That's comedy right there The description collapsible deviates from our set pattern in that the stinger doesn't match But I'm willing to easily forgive that for two reasons a We definitely did get our first description of the object. It was our goddamn typewriter And in this section Not and in this section just in this section I definitely fudged the lines a little bit, but I think I got them out pretty straight audible And as such, I'm not going to do it because I don't have to hit it perfect. It's my script if it flows right it works So that's why it's so fun to write your own scripts because if you flub it it's okay You wrote it anyways. No one can yell at me. I can't yell at me if I wrote it It was a goddamn typewriter in this section And two the stinger of pulling the paper out of the typewriter and it says the end was way too perfect to pass up The revised collapsible is the new official containment procedures for the neutralized 3043 It brings us back to wiki format since we've spent so much time in these crazy updated documents that murphy left behind But if you look inside the no I said left behind or I said left behind Left behind it's not left to behind. It's left behind Almost there By the way, and k since you guys are here Watching this I don't know if you noticed Or if anyone will notice but when i'm talking about the description collapsible I wrote The first article of the list a And then the second article of the list two And that's a dr. Who reference not a mistake So no one's going to get that but you know Congratulations an official conspiracy for the neutralized 3043 It brings us back to wiki format since we've spent so much time in these crazy updated documents that murphy left behind But if you look inside the formerly secret final collapsible We get a scene of 05 5 smoking a cigarette with murphy not trying to contain him but to enlist his aid He brushes off giving her a solid answer but offers that he'll be around as he wanders off into his murky gray world 05 5 drops one of the most cherished lines in film noir history And we get a guest appearance by fred because I needed another reason to love this article too much The credits roll and we end with one more reference this time to the postman always rings twice another seminal work of noir Work of noir Another seminal work of noir That didn't sound like what I was saying before though. It didn't like fit the sentence structure like my tonality Always it's twice Another seminal work of noir No work of noir again another seminal work of noir Did the weird tone thing again another seminal work of noir The funny thing about the film noir genre is that it wasn't exactly high class filmmaking Back then the pulpy detective story was what we'd call bean movies today style over substance style over Frank grobe says hi hi frank welcome to the stream We are at about the nine minute mark of the recording and we're in the last two paragraphs. So Thanks for joining me for the final stretch Just uh two more paragraphs of this particular script Style over substance was par for the course and a lot of questions would be left unanswered At the end of this we still have more mysteries than we do answers Why did dr. Lewis go to murphy law in the first place? How could dr. Lewis almost resist his powers? Well Well, how could dr. Lewis almost resist his powers the next part Frank asks how are you? I'm doing well frank. Thank you for asking. How are you doing this morning? Dr. Lewis almost How could dr. Lewis almost resist his powers while nobody except scp 3043 could Is murphy law even a physical entity or is he a character inside fictional narrative similar to fred Ah almost said that right Or is he a character inside fictional narrative similar to fred? So many questions left to answer All I can say is sequel perhaps six seasons in a movie Time can only tell We made it Thanks again to the great hippo for this punching running and tommy gunning ride of a skip and for doing most of my research for me And of course, thank you for watching If you like this explanation and want to see more do that like share and subscribe mumbo jumbo Pay our patreon a visit and finally let us know what skips you'd like declassified in the comments See you next time Fantastic, we made it just gotta check it a little bit. I did mess up that line. I thought I messed up that line Gotta fix it only time will tell There we go that fits cut that Pasted over the bad one And wonderful. We have a script the new Declassified Is going to come in right at about 10 minutes 945 to be exact In fact, almost exactly 945 Although i'm going to cut a little bit out here and there so there will be a little bit of a fluctuation But that is the whole script and that is Just got to have some music added it little tweaks here and there and we're all clear We should be able to release this today or tomorrow So thank you guys for tuning in to this easy short live stream. I like these declassified skips They're less technical so I can knock them out in like 30 minutes.
