ADR - Episode 499: SCP-Cember - SCP-1540

[00:00:00] Oh hello and welcome to Dente Wigamortes. I'm ReviewClause.

[00:00:24] I'm Leikey, the East Times Rebenazer. It's A-N-Q-X-E-R is the person's user name. So, you can check this out at the SCP Foundation website. scp-wicky These three individuals vanished and SCP-1540 was the result. This is all from documentation and video recordings and stuff recovered from the home of one of the individuals that was connected in this ritual. Every 29 to 30 days, the way I got it was that like it doesn't, it has a completely different personality and, and full memories. Oh, it has, it has separate unique identity personalities and full memories of their previous lives. Where does it say that? Because I know it's like it's the third paragraph after the, after the description.

[00:04:22] Previous SCP 15 in full memories of their previous life.

[00:04:27] Fuck. false precept or cover story as to why they are being held and quarantined. That's that's the gist of SCP 1540. But with that out of the way, I suppose move on to everyone, tolerance or grammar and positions.

[00:05:44] At this point, Mikey, do you got anything? just ended. But then I never really thought that did I end up? It's all right. Finn. Wow. All right. I feel like I feel like't structured properly to like, but that's the thing. I don't know what it, what is, what is, what is life? But I actually, I'm gonna, I'm gonna step in on this one. So yeah, okay. So the quote is SCP 1540 instances display separate unique identities, personalities, and full memories of

[00:08:21] their previous lives. So I also, I also like should be the grammar thing. It should say something like it retains, no, it doesn't retain. It has memories. The current form has its own set of full set of memories

[00:09:43] from its life, which are different from the previous iteration of SCP-15,

[00:10:58] Yeah, but it can't remember the previous entity that it was because of the quote here for the containment procedures instances should not be informed of their nature to avoid unpredictable emotional response. Yes.

[00:10:59] So here's indeed. Okay. Wow, that was a. We got there. Grammaring position. All right. You don't have anything else, right? No, I didn't even technically have any.

[00:12:21] That's right. Yeah, that was-transparent cocoon around the organism. Over the next six hours, SCP-1540 will gradually dissolve and a new body will develop from the resulting material. Once the body is fully formed, the cocoon will

[00:13:41] rupture and the new SCP instance, sorry, the new instance, like a parallel, like kind of like the Mandela effect kind of thing like slipping between realities and stuff. But what if the Berenstein bears one? Yeah, exactly. Like what if what if in a separate timeline that's parallel to our own people are either being are either being hunted down and devoured every 29 to 30 days by a counterpart organism

[00:15:02] as part of a as part of its metabolistic habits, like it needs to eat every 29 to 30 days It's like the psychic faecal matter, psychic like refuse is recycled in the other universe by and turns the turns that organism into that person. Well, conversely, it could also be a weird flesh based character creator.

[00:16:23] Like those AI generated people on the website. This person does not exist. Yeah, yeah. And then, yeah, so like, uh, yeah, and this could be like some sort of weird, like supernatural or alien construct that the kids, the kids in the 80s, I think it was like in the 80s that the kids summoned, tried to summon this thing or tried to, yeah, been trying to actually summon this.

[00:17:44] They tried to like, create, make themselves... Oh, there's four people, not three. My bad. Anyway.

[00:19:00] Along with three associates of similar age,

[00:19:03] developed the ritual shown become the first creature or the video. Should we know? We should, but they don't give us that information from that video

[00:20:23] in this in this entry.

[00:20:24] And that's kind of actually a point of I have here is

[00:21:22] I mean, it might still be handy because it is clearly like footage of the lightning striking striking.

[00:21:26] Yeah, it is kind of strange.

[00:21:28] It's not there.

[00:21:28] Yeah.

[00:21:29] And maybe it's just like the author

[00:21:31] didn't know how to present that.

[00:21:33] But I feel like that's something that could be added

[00:21:34] at a later date to this file.

[00:21:36] Maybe the footage has finally been transcribed.

[00:21:40] If somebody wants to update the SCP entry.

[00:21:43] But yeah, so my original idea was that while they were

[00:21:46] performing this ritual, something went wrong things that kind of break physics in a way. And just having like that like beat like, and it usually involves like kids in the suburbs like just like discovering stuff some like shadow organization trying to hunt down this thing. Yeah, like if, if you're in a game and you discover CP 99, you're like, Oh, and then the government's like, I will kill everyone to end myself.

[00:24:22] Yeah, yeah, exactly. Like that, I could definitely feel like you could do like a bunch of like

[00:25:24] like maybe like part of that is like the character is trying to figure out like, well, how do we get our friends back?

[00:25:30] And then meanwhile, there's a shadow organization trying to get this thing because they're been monitoring this whole situation as well.

[00:25:36] And so again, it turns into like super like a weird like fucked up, like the fly meets ET.

[00:25:38] The extraterrestrial.

[00:25:43] Or like stranger things kind of situation.

[00:27:01] But yeah, yeah, this like, like, Kool-Aid drink from like a silver, like bag or bag with a straw. And when they all take a sip of it, the kids like after like a hard day of like playing the park and stuff, they take a sip of it and they all turn to these like silver metallic,

[00:27:03] like things that like, start like going home,

[00:27:05] like like speeding home.

[00:27:06] And then when they kind of all, these three, these three or four kids just combine into one entity that is like a completely normal except that they don't exist in records or in like two people that it is apparently talking to or like yeah it knows. It's one step away from being an alternate. Yeah yeah exactly like it's an ultimate it's basically once upon an alternate in that but it's like or it's like invasion of the body

[00:28:22] snatchers even in a way too. Mm-hmm. Because it's basically one guy figured out a clips phase body jumping and he's the only one who can do it basically. Gotcha. So when he gets tired of a body, he just discards it and like, makes another one. I honestly changing bodies. And then the person that they're discarded, they have to wake up and like,

[00:29:42] they have to like get their own individuality because they're still a person.

[00:29:47] Yeah.

[00:30:42] just amnesia, like gave him amnesia about like what he had experienced in the past

[00:30:44] and shunned him back into his own body

[00:30:47] after 20 years had gone by.

[00:30:50] Wow.

[00:30:50] Yeah.

[00:30:52] Yeah, the yethians are really fucked up.

[00:30:54] For like, they're not like, they seem kind of benign,

[00:30:57] but they're sort of fucked up in that they just don't,

[00:30:59] it's something they don't get people.

[00:31:01] It's just they don't, they don't really care

[00:31:03] what they're doing to people.

[00:31:04] Yeah.

[00:31:07] It's just kind of fucked up because you're always swapping bodies anyways. Yeah, but you so it's more of an inconvenience. I know you don't get it. Like you're the past version changes. Yeah, the other person changes and that past person is gone completely. Like that's how that's what would be more fucked up about it. Cause like with the close phrase, like you can either back up and stuff of that. With this virus, like what if it just it completely wipes the the previous person

[00:32:22] into individuality and personality?

[00:32:24] Like that's that's what would be fucked up about it.

[00:32:26] Hmm.

[00:33:23] that the souls all go to and come from to collect new experiences and ideas and information and such.

[00:33:27] So, and Android bodies are shared.

[00:33:31] Like, if they don't simply die, or if they die, or when they die,

[00:33:35] or when it's their time to be done with their body.

[00:33:40] A new soul, the old soul leaves it to go to the collective.

[00:33:44] And a new unexperienced soul enters that body. interview transcript 1540-81 slash four semicolon 2008 02 25 interviewed David Hawkins interview were dr. Joseph Kaminski begin log Kaminski please state

[00:35:02] for the record your full name and clearance Hawkins David Alexander It's new identity is now an SCP scientist. Like, I do wish we had gotten some more. I actually kind of wish we had gotten sort of like how we, I said, like, I wish we had got a transcript of that video of the ritual going awry. I kind of wish we had gotten some more interviews from different instances of the different identities.

[00:36:25] Yeah, because the whole thing with, or worse one is like, it's like, hi, Kevin, is it? It's like, yeah, where's my mommy? It's like, oh, fuck. Yeah. Like, cause it's not a human, but it is. Like, it's a really fucked up.

[00:37:40] Like this is what I was kind of getting at.

[00:37:43] It was like, why I want this?

[00:37:44] Because with all the different identities you can get, I guess connective tissues, not quite connective tissues time, exactly, but like something that reminds me of this idea is there's a couple of actual plays out there. In fact, one less dies done one of it called for Delta Green called Operation Fulmanate. I think it's also Twilight of the Gods is the name for the scenario. But it's where like you go into like,

[00:39:01] you have to go into a national park

[00:39:04] because a boy who went happens in the scenario. I'm not going to spoil completely. I'll let people who want to listen to it. You can check them out at the Unspeakable Oath podcast has a as a playthrough of it. And again, our sister podcast, One Last Die has

[00:40:20] one where Adam from RPX ran, ran his first game with us. And we avoid through the contamination procedures. Yeah, specifically don't do that, but why? Yeah, either the individual that is human and yet not human just has a really bad violent emotional breakdown. Or it's the thing when it gets caught

[00:41:40] and it goes full on alien.

[00:41:43] Yeah.

[00:41:44] Like the face just splits open to reveal a massive jaws acted by a radius of the site. It was like, what the fuck does it do? Yeah. Like, does it explode? Does it like, spore out? Does it like, what the fuck does it do? Everything in that radius? Yeah, exactly. Like, what the fuck? Yeah, no, I, that's what you got. Well, that's what that's what you got to have in this to like really like to add in that there is a danger to like, to

[00:43:03] a giving it its identity or like revealing to itself what its nature is

[00:43:07] because then it's just fucked.

[00:44:01] Oh, at the same time. Yeah.

[00:44:02] It's almost, this gives you vibes of horror

[00:44:05] from like the thing or invasion of the body snatchers.

[00:44:08] That whole like horror of identity loss or false identity.

[00:44:13] Like you thought your life was this,

[00:44:14] but it's actually this,

[00:44:16] but like this, and this, the shadow organization

[00:44:19] that's keeping you hostage is like gaslighting you

[00:44:22] on like your entire, and giving you cover stories

[00:44:25] about what your actual like existence is and such. that this SCP posed. Because, well, the thing is, it's loosely touched on, because the interview codes. And he's just able to like walk out. Yeah, I know. The other thing is like, this thing's, I'm assuming under 24 hour surveillance through like cameras and shit, like they're watching it transform. So like, okay, we've watched you transform into the director. We know you're not. The director, you're not leaving this room.

[00:47:01] We're not gonna mix you up with Steve upstairs.

[00:47:04] Yeah, exactly.

[00:47:05] Director Steve.

[00:48:06] monitoring it. They are keeping it under lock and key and stuff. And because it has the potential, they don't know enough about it to know that like what it could do. Or they

[00:48:11] don't, they can't trust it exactly. Yeah. So.

[00:48:17] Yeah.

[00:48:19] So that was just my thought like, where is the regular with the entity like throughout multiple incarnations because they're having a hard time like disassociating like that person is dead, like that identity they've talked his mother. Like, again, I, and you know, the SCP Foundation, like, is that kind of bureaucratic bullshit where they aren't going to swap out staff or like scientists necessarily? They might. But they, but I think for like a story, it would be make much more sense for them to not. We've been until they become D class.

[00:51:03] Or until they until they until they have to be amnesticized after taking a full psyche fucked up. But yeah. So that's in the match with us. Okay. losing Is being taken from the body that it was it was um Formally yeah, and then it even states like that mass is recovered by like monday means which probably just like it eats in food

[00:53:41] Yeah, basically it loses some calorie cat a caloric account

[00:54:48] want to call it to create new human organs. Yeah. For people that are missing an eye, an arm, a leg, a liver, you know, if they could actually control this, this could be extremely good for mankind.

[00:54:56] Yeah. So, you know, so in Delta Green, you're not actually, you'd actually prefer to work

[00:55:00] from Majestic 12 rather than Delta Green. In the Lord justify the means versus Delta green, which is nothing good comes from this material from this from this line of thought or work like it must be purged. Yeah, like it'll corrupt. Could I see Sarah again? I don't know if she doesn't remember me anymore. I just wanted to see her one more time. has had my mind racing with possible ideas for fodder both like story wise or even game wise So yeah, that's I'm still going to recommend it though. I mean clearly it obviously it could still use some work

[00:59:02] But it's not enough for me to detract

[00:59:04] What what I like about the story as it is right now nature. Yes. So it's basically just a messed up experiment.

[01:00:24] This means not fucked up and weird. Yeah Like it's like they it's it's really fucked up and cool. Yeah. But yeah. It's just weird, Mikey. Come on. It may happen. It may be happening. Well, it's transposed on something that doesn't happen in nature. It makes it fucked up.

[01:01:44] Yeah. Well, I'm not disagreeing that it's weird.

[01:02:43] in relations with a long, long-lived entity. Yeah.

[01:02:44] It's like, and it's like the same situation as like,

[01:02:46] like when a, like, human, the human-to-dog relationship

[01:02:51] is kind of like the human-to-elf relationship.

[01:02:53] Like, you are, like, your dog is like a moment in your life,

[01:03:01] like a great moment in your life.

[01:03:04] Yes.

[01:03:04] To you, the dog is like, to you.

[01:03:07] To the dog. um explanations and interviews and uh what not because uh you have to explain to some degree what the threat is like i had to literally think like how is this scp a threat and not just safe um yeah does it have to be a threat nine nine nine's not a threat So yes at that point Mikey I agree with you there is apparently some danger that isn't addressed you are right Yeah Yeah, cuz honestly the containment procedures Seem far less than the cup we did previously. Oh, yeah Like that cup is a danger though like that

[01:08:20] For me, I did say I recommend it, but I think I am going to change it to a partial, not because I like it less now, but just because I'm seeing that it needs more this, because like you think like when you first start off, it's too dark, it's seemingly too too, scientists talking to each other. And then you realize one of those scientists is it's like the thing snare at the end of the thing, which is child's or have all these different things on standby Depending on what form it takes, you know, it might need an air supply if it's An old guy who can't breathe very well or it might need a bunch of diapers, you know, like you can't go out and Drive the Walmart every time it switches, you know

[01:09:41] Yeah, usually these sites are not in like populated areas I would like more please. Yes. But yeah, all right. So yeah, two partial recommendations and one recommendation, though we all really love the ideas behind this SCP. We must have more. We, we'll peep it. Yeah.
