Man, Skreyja was just straight up Emperor Palpatine. <br><br><i>"We took pity on him because he lost both parents at an early age. I think, on reflection, that we should have wondered a bit more about that."</i><br>-Terry Pratchett, Hogfather

Never thought I'd hear the story about that one time when a Mass Effect Reaper saved the Foundation from a dragon inside of a robot crab.

Cursing an aquatic being to forever travel a desert for water he can never reach is a special kind of brutal. Kinda deserved it though.

So...<br>-The foundation didn't act like idiots<br>-They didn't mishandle the anomaly in anyway<br>-They didn't throw away lives unnecessarily<br>-They didn't do something unnecessarily unethical<br>-They made friends with another anomalous race<br>This was fantastic and we need more stories like this

Man, gotta love how the Finfolk remember of humans as bloodstained creatures. Like, if there's one thing we're good at, is ending the Alive Privileges of things.

Older SCP Articles be like "This anomaly would be a great monster in my PnP game"<br>New SCP Articles be like "This PnP game plot would be great as my anomaly"

Author here! A small but very important clarification in regards to 3703: 3703 is not a containment unit for anomalous entities itself. It is, instead, a source of power. Teran is not contained within 4700, rather the large diamond structure at the center of the innermost cylinder is the source of power for the entire vehicle and the civilization it contains within. 3703 works by drawing power directly from the astral plane (I.E. cold plasma). Teran is contained within the Astral plane and in the material plane at the same time. The specific 3703 instance that's shown in 3703's article just so happens to connect to the where Teran is contained. Different instances of 3703 are used to power many of the Finnfolk's technologies, ranging from their vehicles, to the massive ancient containment complexes after each sealing war (a topic that will eventually be covered my 001 proposal).<br><br>Other than that, great rendition of the article (and a very unexpected one, since 4700 is the longest thing I've written for the site).

I've been to the Orkney Islands its a uniquely beautiful part of Scotland, thick mist and old abandoned ww2 sunk ships gives it a atmosphere well suited to SCP stories

When they started doing battle against the big fish in the mecha crab, I was fully expecting Ultraman & Godzilla to jump in and tagteam like it's Smackdown
