'do you not understand yourselves?' That's such a good line. Imagine if we were the only intelligent species out there that was this unsure of our identity and future. We'd look like a bunch of insecure maniacs to the rest of the universe.
I'm sure every species that has individual thought is like humanity in this case study. Not knowing what to do be once they do know they're a force to be wrecken with.
I mean, their perception of "Humanity" is based off of sci-fi from various eras with a delay of several decades between when they recieve the info and when they can act upon it. So of course they dont have an accurate or concise picture of what "Humanity" is and where its heading. It would be like trying to figure out what French culture is in 2029 using only The Three Musketeers and Distinct 13.
This has one of the most original science fiction concepts I've seen in SCP, and also, the concept of a neural interface that runs on dial-up is hilarious. Definitely a winner for me!
I love the "bullets remaining: 00" thing, because imagining what it _could_ mean is so much funnier. Initially you think it's copying videogames, and maybe it's _trying_ to, but it doesn't understand what ammo counters are, and thinks it's just some text that humans like seeing in the bottom right. Second possibility - it _can_ go up, but only for an ultra-specific type of ammunition, possibly even ammo that only exists on the probe maker's homeworld. But by far the best interpretation, i think, is that it's a counter for how many bullets "remain" _inside_ the user, lmao. Like, if you got shot, the counter would go up by 1, and when a surgeon removes it, it goes back down to 0. It might go up if someone were to ingest a bullet, too. It's so much better that they _don't_ explain it, though.
@@aceystar1478 I did, and frankly I am disappointed in everyone who has liked it in the last 2 months that nobody pointed that out before you lol. Thank you for catching that and congratulations on being the first one 🤣
The ‘polymer’ is obviously made with SCP-447. - Light green - Tastes like mint - Probe kicks out anyone who says “yes” to “are you dying?” - Replication of the polymer aborted because of something that cannot under any circumstances [REDACTED], which is common verbiage with 447. - Analysis of the visor forbidden as it could shatter (which could kill someone).
Honestly, when I started listening to this yesterday and came across that redacted part, my first thought was "that's about the amount of time it takes to say 'come into contact with a dead body.'" Glad to hear I'm not the only one 🙂
It’s a ball of green slime. The slime has amazing properties - the test logs show it having an almost unlimited capacity to improve virtually anything - but the caveat is that it can NEVER be allowed to come into contact with a dead body. Exactly what happens if it does is [REDACTED] and not actually explained.

Great as always! Thanks so much! Don't let the YT slump get you down, all the SCP creators are seeing dips. I think so many of you guys had great back catalogs we all could dive into during 2020 and after, and slowly, the rush of people finishing what you guys have and waiting on the new stuff simply means less weekly views in this category than before. Your content is and always has been top notch! Please keep it up! I love looking forward to your stuff!
Yeah, after late 2021. I kinda stopped watching these SCP videos. Don't know why. I've got wind that a lot of the creators are changing things up. That news kinda brought me back, it feels like returning home. Been awhile, but I'm glad they are still around, still making content.

There was a familiarity with the previous scrolling text, and you had the benefit of being able to read a little back/ahead to verify where you are in relation to the audio. It is definitely easier to read this, though.
For those wondering, 'Zeno' class AFAIK just means medium difficulty in containment, low threat. Basically just Euclid, which is probably why this term hasn't caught on.
I like to listen to these while going to bed, this particular video had the sounds of the probes so distorted that I couldnt make out anything at all, please keep the audio understandable. Thanks for the vid, otherwise great voice acting.
Really enjoyed this one although some of the robot voice effects made it pretty hard for me to understand it at times. I'd love if those could be toned down just slightly in the future but still awesome job ❤
The old timey is so fantastic, makes me think the SCP has been going a long time in history. Just like old radio plays, when we only had sound to narrate our stories, most of our encounters didn't have any level of sophistication unless someone clever came along.
It has to be hard to figure out what people want from the format but I will say i like this format and the one you ran regularly about a month ago the most.
Genuinely thought you would take a break this week, TY for your work but I would be perfectly understandable if you took a break considering last week's entry
I realy wonder how a direct confrontation between the Foundation these Aliens would look like. That was a realy good one and presented perfectly. You truly are the Luetin09 of SCP.
I find this to be interesting. Well it seems that this alien species isn't too more advance than humanity and they seem more interested in learning about us than any ill intent other than the space ship that drops people from a high altitude. I believe it would be a good invest of time and resources to grab one of the scp's that allow for easy FTL and pay this species a visit and send them an embassy.
With how mixed up the scp wiki's canon, or rather lack thereof, is, it's likely this one comes from a time or canon where the Foundation doesn't have such objects. Like there are literally articles set in the future, or articles where Scranton Reality Anchors don't exist. I'm gonna headcanon this one comes either from before The Foundation achieved FTL travel, or FTL travel is still too expensive for them to just hop on down to reassure the aliens as if they were visiting grandma for a weekend.
someone else posted this and it is definitely true, but someone created this based on SCP-447 (which is itself, not very interesting imo). Probably listened to SCP-447 and then created this idea of, what if this came from an alien world? and SCP-447, which always exudes a green, nutritive multi-purpose slime, is a component of alien technologies, where it's converted into nutrient cubes to be given to humans, converted into unbreakable polymer plastics and coatings, etc SCP-447 also revolves around this idea that despite being an infinite source of food and incredibly useful in many ways, it absolutely can not ever come into contact with a dead body, or [REDACTED]. It's apparently very bad, and nobody is allowed to even inquire about what [REDACTED] is, lest they be demoted to D class. This SCP said that replication of the polymer was aborted because it "cannot under any circumstances [REDACTED]" (redacted is come into contact with dead bodies). And the probe that feeds people the green cubes, asks people if they're dying, and kicks them out if they answer yes. makes me feel like this poster who mentioned the SCP-447 connection must be right, these probes are technologies that take advantage of SCP-447s, whatever they are. or, SCP-447s are just components manufactured by alien tech to be used in these probes, and maybe a probe somewhere broke and the only recovered bit just happened to be the weird sphere inside that manufactures the unrefined green substance, which it uses for a multitude of purposes to achieve it's difficult-to-grasp goal
Reminds me of a hfy story read by Aggro Sqerrill here on youtube. It involved a human trying to explain science fiction to an alien who considered the term paradoxical.
Really wish this was on spotify, i really love listening to these as an audio book but can't stand the ads as i like falling to sleep to them, hell if im paying for YT premium tho😂
“they reported that the cubes taste like mint and…salad dressing…eugh…” These little things make the article feel like it is being read by a human, not simply a sterile recitation of words.
I listen to these when driving, its an unfortunate often recurring theme of too much voice editing to reliably understand what’s being said for a lot of this, I got barely anything outside of the standard voice. Great effort is always appreciated though
Zero clue what the robot said. Remember when editing if you know the script you will find audio to be more clear than your listener who does not know to expect those words. Especially if they’re listening on a phone speaker but you edit with quality headphones
I only ever recognize the fifthism halfway through the video. Is it just me or do the writers of a lot of the fifthism SCPs do a fantastic job at hiding it right in your face?
Long story very short (because I don’t know it all) fifthism is a religion/religious group in the scp lore, but now I also wanna know what the signs were cuz I straight up missed them
Pretty sure blue means dream or simulation. They've mentioned in other SCPs that some of the foundation higher-ups are aware that they're in a universe shaped by fiction writers.
I love how this one had interactions with nearly every major GOI across each instance. Just gotta wait to 2060 for a Wondertainment, 2090 for some sort of Karcist set of circumstances.
I love SCP their saftey procedures will say "It is imperative to handle this material safely that you never under any circumstances [REDACTED]" and just hope for the best
That interview with 2005-C... I swear, I thought for a few moments that it was paraphrasing Starman by Bowie. Had to check. By some oddity of omission, Bowie was less effusive about the library system, but I'll forgive him that.
I love that it thought science fiction was made as a prediction of what the future will be. Then it's confused because we're not actually doing the things it's read about and asks if we can understand ourselves.
Admittedly, if I saw an adult-sized zeppelin using a mop, I would be completely convinced that everything was perfectly normal😆 Seriously though, I'm not sure why these probes are being treated as anomalies that need to be locked away. They're just space probes from an apparently neutral (if not friendly) exo-civ that's working within the bounds of the lightspeed limit. That's about as normal as it gets.
'do you not understand yourselves?' That's such a good line. Imagine if we were the only intelligent species out there that was this unsure of our identity and future. We'd look like a bunch of insecure maniacs to the rest of the universe.

This SCP said that replication of the polymer was aborted because it "cannot under any circumstances [REDACTED]" (redacted is come into contact with dead bodies).
And the probe that feeds people the green cubes, asks people if they're dying, and kicks them out if they answer yes.
makes me feel like this poster who mentioned the SCP-447 connection must be right, these probes are technologies that take advantage of SCP-447s, whatever they are.

These little things make the article feel like it is being read by a human, not simply a sterile recitation of words.
Anyone else get vibes of Three Body Problem at the start? Alien tear drop probe, resistant to corrosion or damage?
Have you considered doing a video on SCP-7999? I think it’s a really cool SCP that might be worth a video
Hey, love you and all of your videos, I hope your always doing well
"Please clarify" in that exasperated tone is about my reaction to most humans too.
I listen to these when driving, its an unfortunate often recurring theme of too much voice editing to reliably understand what’s being said for a lot of this, I got barely anything outside of the standard voice. Great effort is always appreciated though
Alien probes! Damn Furons! Always going into places they shouldn't. Also, love the old entry part.
Zero clue what the robot said. Remember when editing if you know the script you will find audio to be more clear than your listener who does not know to expect those words. Especially if they’re listening on a phone speaker but you edit with quality headphones
As a rule of thumb reduce filters till you’re certain it’s clear. Then lower the filter another 20% after that
It would be cool to spped up and pitch up period recordings, like the effect in the recording of the Hindenburg disaster.
I think I prefer the text crawl
Hilarious that it is has several methods to remain incognito..
I only ever recognize the fifthism halfway through the video. Is it just me or do the writers of a lot of the fifthism SCPs do a fantastic job at hiding it right in your face?
sorry, what is fifthism? im not very up to date with scp lore
Long story very short (because I don’t know it all) fifthism is a religion/religious group in the scp lore, but now I also wanna know what the signs were cuz I straight up missed them
Thanks for the video!
For me, that spacesuit triggers "The One" from Babylon 5. Thank You.
14:34 oh gawd that must be awful..
21:02 would be odd and or concerning if either of these displays changed, especially the dream related one.
Pretty sure blue means dream or simulation. They've mentioned in other SCPs that some of the foundation higher-ups are aware that they're in a universe shaped by fiction writers.
I love how this one had interactions with nearly every major GOI across each instance. Just gotta wait to 2060 for a Wondertainment, 2090 for some sort of Karcist set of circumstances.
Galaxy Quest: the SCP
:D
Basically the aliens from Galaxy Quest
Sees thumbnail
Me: "A M O G U S"
I love SCP their saftey procedures will say "It is imperative to handle this material safely that you never under any circumstances [REDACTED]" and just hope for the best
Oh hell yes a new Volgun vid!!!
That interview with 2005-C... I swear, I thought for a few moments that it was paraphrasing Starman by Bowie. Had to check. By some oddity of omission, Bowie was less effusive about the library system, but I'll forgive him that.
I love that it thought science fiction was made as a prediction of what the future will be. Then it's confused because we're not actually doing the things it's read about and asks if we can understand ourselves.
11:48 Hooooh boy... Really hope this drone doesn't misinterpret California as being what humanity is all about.
I like this one, it’s literally just aliens haha
2:19 *It's the Trisolarans!*
Ah, the old "aliens that can't differentiate fact and fiction" trope
Thanks for posting 😺
They believe all our fictional works are real... So basically, these are Thermian probes from Galaxy Quest. 🤔
Its cool how the foundation and insurgency have made a agreement
Admittedly, if I saw an adult-sized zeppelin using a mop, I would be completely convinced that everything was perfectly normal😆 Seriously though, I'm not sure why these probes are being treated as anomalies that need to be locked away. They're just space probes from an apparently neutral (if not friendly) exo-civ that's working within the bounds of the lightspeed limit. That's about as normal as it gets.
