      I'd rather be the right hand of the devil than the left foot of god. i.e I'd rather take on Wandsmen duty than SCP meat grinding. Meaning we are all meat for the Foundation no matter of rank or affiliation. Even the council is even sometimes subject to ultimate an demise because of their work. Remember good dog boi Council Member #[REDACTED]? No you don't because it's covered up by the Folly of the Foundation(s). Remember KOTOR and KOTOR II? What Master Kreia was trying to teach us all? We don't NEED The Force AT ALL. It's merely a tool that has a will of its own that can never truly be mastered because of its nature, sickening. I FINALY understand Darth Traya and her real teaching. The Light Side cannot exist without the Dark Side, but only together can they make you truly invincible. How many thousands of years and it lost ANYWAYS to the prequels and then even worse the DISNEY CANNON? Fuck me. Am I the only one left that SEES that and understands it? Flark Disney, they create "Cinematic Moments" but not very good movies or additions to the over-all cannon, in fact the actively DESTROY ALL OF IT in the process. THIS Wandsmen is fucking so great, it inspired me to author some more in my own endeavors in my own AI Dungeon Adventure I have going. A Kenku I will add later on that I have already been thinking on MONTHS before this so, God to another author, I thank the creator of this piece.

    These guys seem cool. Interesting how they transform into a type of bird they previously found repulsive, it makes me imagine a lot of them are "ugly" types of birds like vultures or turkeys, or perhaps birds that are often considered pests/nuisances like pigeons or seagulls. There might also be good number who became birds infamous for their aggression towards humans, like geese, roosters, or Australian magpies, etc.; I'm imagining a wandsman who grew up on a farm and was terrified of the family rooster, only to end up turning into one as a direct result of their trauma.

    I'll be honest, it sounds like a pretty sweet gig. Going about the multiverse as a magical reporter, bringing knowledge, helping people, and even sometimes saving lives? That's straight out of a much brighter setting than the SCP foundation. And while the bird shape may be less than ideal, it doesn't seem like there's anything keeping you from coming to like your new body, and it certainly comes with enough benefits...

I’m not super knowledgeable on SCP cannon, but since my SCP is literally just the concept of someone dropping out of know where, solves the problem then leaves with no explanation, only answering the occasional question with some cryptic answer that only confuses everyone more.
      It’s not like it’s a savior of humanity in its darkest hour, usually it will just show up and slap the wrist of whatever foundation member is about to make an ethical decision so dumb it creates a really obvious problem.

    The role of the canary is a nice touch. Back in the day Cole miners used to keep one in its cage with them down in the mines. If there was a buildup of carbon monoxide or something, it would kill the canary before it was overwhelming enough to kill the miners, telling them it was time to get out.

    This is a really interesting GoI. Not just because of the intruiging aesthetic of a bunch of superhuman, anthro birds with maps zapping across the universes in search of finding and spreading knowledge, but also because their news reporter's flair makes for an interesting opportunity to experience the SCP multiverse from a much different perspective than the iconically formulaic database entries.
