Ok - so, I dropped the ball on this one. I missed the last long from O5-5 to Daniel DeVorn. The log was after the footnotes of the article which is the point that the majority of articles end, it was a pretty huge mistake on my part. I promise to do better in the future and won't make a habit of it. I'm sorry to "The Great Hippo" and my listeners.
We forgive you. You do really great work. It's obvious you take great pride in what you do, have great attention to detail, and work very hard to make high quality videos. We can't be perfect all the time.
Should probably note that, for those who are confused, this takes place in the broken masquerade canon, where the foundation failed to keep the anomalous world a secret.
I can't help but think this SCP was written (and written excellently, of course) as a reaction to the growing number of SCPs which just threw SRAs at any problem and they'd magically fix them. A perfect illustration of why emergency systems can usually only mitigate a problem rather than actually curing it.
Wasnt there also that one story where something went wrong with a reality anchor and a dude was sucked into a plane of nonreality, after which he began to slowly "warp" from the lack of reality around him, and when they managed to get him back he was little more than some organs fused with the twisted remains of the terminal that had been sucked in with him
This is easily one of the scariest SCPs ever because it exists. "No it's fine, things are within acceptable failure risk, we don't need to spend more on more safety equipment. Disregard the screaming."
This is such a great comment. Not as a flex or anything but this is exactly what it’s like to be in the military. Things only ever get “fixed” not ever fixed. So yes, disregard the screaming. Safety is not the number one priority.
are you aware that there are people to budget the safety vs reciving an osha violation, there are people that say, "yeah, it would cost us more to be safe than take a fine of several thousand dollars.
So I'm guessing theVolgun didn't have a good way to include the ENDING to this story as part of the 'lecture'. So here's a quick summary- after the article proper there is a link to a email sent by an 05 councilman addressed to the missing CEO. It repeats what some of the article talks about, how the Foundation has changed, how they now have an ethics board and so on. It also notes how proud this 05 member of the council is with the changes, that the Foundation is a better organization that has a sense of morality now. But the 05 member is starting to feel like a remnant from an older time and often wonders if there really is a place for an old monster like him in the current Foundation. But then sometimes someone like the CEO comes along and reminds them why they are still there. Because sometimes the only way to deal with a monster is with another monster. No one is ever going to find the CEO. There won't be an inquiry or a ethics meeting. He's just going to stay vanished forever as far as most of the Foundation will know. Except the 05 Council and the CEO himself. And the CEO won't know for very long. The letter concludes by welcoming the CEO to his cell. It asks him to go ahead and put on that orange jumpsuit in the corner. He'll notice a scranton reality anchor in front of him. They will be conducting some tests shortly...
I went ahead and read it, and it's a shame it wasn't included. I don't see a reason to not include it, as you could just do some handwave-y terminal stuff to justify the inclusion in the video, and it brings a satisfying ending to the story. Daniel got what he deserved.
You forgot a small thing. It implies that SCP-106 has something to do with these; the words "old friend" at the end of the email are each hyperlinks to SCP-106 and "Until Death" respectively.
Foundation: "Uh, excuse me? DLS? It looks like the scotch tape you put over the leak is starting to leak." DLS: "Put two pieces of scotch tape over it."
I swear to god, this is probably one of your best videos to date. The emotion in Bakshi's dialogue felt so genuine, and I really felt everything that poor man was going through. Fantastic job :D
If you liked this one i highly recommend the "SCP Archives" version of this article, the peformance by the VA deserves an award honestly. Its probably my favorite reading of an SPC ever which made me pretty happy seeing Volguns version of it.
One of the best scp's ever written. On the surface, it's about a spooky boat, but deeper down it's about the horror of companies putting profit and cheap easy solutions above all else
It's that same motivation for profit that caused them to invent the SRA's in the first place, saving reality countless times in the process. Let's chill out on the "big bahd cumpani" rhetoric, lil bro; go get a check.
@@100nodog yea same. Deus ex machinas and shoving all these anomalies into little categories are pretty bad tropes that have become really popular lately in scp. I like this article a lot because it's an in-universe example that these macguffins and categories dont really work
I love the idea of a boat or any place for that matter just being so dimensionally screwed up that it’s near suicide to even get slightly near it, reminds me of annihilation, the further in you get, the more bizarre things become.
@@hurricanerae Isn't it the one that inspired Stalker game? There's one with anime version as well called "Urasekai Picnic" which basically means 'Otherside Picnic'
@@UCmDBecUtbSafffpMEN3iscA I'm not familiar with "Urasekai Picnic", but the movie Stalker was based off of it and the game Stalker was not as much "based" off the movie as "Highly inspired" by it. All art feeds into each other. One thing inspires another thing which inspires the next, all of it transforming with new ideas along the way.
I love the talk of "in my day there wouldn't be an inquiry." Honestly, with how the SCP foundation works broken masquerade or not if a man disappears screaming into the dark, it doesn't mean anyone has to see anything.
I’d recommend reading the O5 access bit at the end of the actual article. Volgunn forgot to include it into the video and it adds a bit more about exactly what you mentioned.
I would never have realized that Professor Bakshi was Volgun himself. I found TheVolgun a few years ago, around the time I became sorta busy with other things and started losing interest in SCP. I returned recently through his stuff and I've grown an immense amount of respect for him. What a talented guy honestly.
This is a fairly well written article. As a mariner I really appreciated the bit the ships EPIRB. The author did their research on ship GMDSS equipment.
@@jacknewell1847 that blows man. I knew a guy in school who found out he was color blind when he was in a rules of the road class. He switched to an engineering degree and still eneded up working on ships
@@TarkinBaroth sure, but that's a small detail that can be written off since this takes place in another time line. Or could be edited easily without detracting from the quality of the article.
@@skyrimn00b98 Yeah> My grandfather was a Chief engineer with P&O for years-even in the falklands war in fact. If you dont mind my asking, what exactly do you do, i.e. what kind of ships doing what? I lived most of my life in the pasific
This is a pretty terrifying entry considering how casually the Foundation throws around SRA's at any kind of reality bending anomaly and that they were almost becoming similar to the old version of Telekill where it was just the magical cureall for anomalies
Telekill early on though was never truly effective, and was limited by its total amount. Telekill was effective as a box, Not as chains. It was similar to seastone if you've ever watched one piece. Telekill will generally weaken type greens and blues, but unless they are contained in a box made of pure Telekill, the cuffs will only weaken or suppress their abilities at best. (afaik, their abilities still completely work even in a telekill box. They just can't affect anything outside of the Telekill box) Its still used in later canon afaik, but its used as a dampener. Not a problem solver, and thats typically on very old anomalies with very old or rather outdated containment protocols. You aren't going to make many cells out of 144kilos worth of material. Even if its constantly regenerating. The foundation can't forcefully speed up the generation process either without skipping through time itself.
Reminds me a lot of scp 500 in that regard. If you have this amazing item, you need to narratively limit it to avoid it completely throwing off the balance of the world it’s in. Telekill was limited in amount and application. The SRAs are a massive boon, but their proliferation seems to be making each one in existence less reliable. Insurance is a good thing to compare stuff like this too. The more you use it, the higher the cost, so you want to be careful because it’s not a catch all safety net.
Even scarier if you go off the theory that a component of a reality anchor involves the corpses of reality benders, although I'm currently more concerned about the latest meta that is the noosphere.
@@steampunkmage9073 SCP-4231 The Montauk House reveals a lot of info on how SRAs are created. And if we based on the data that is sided of the main story, The Scarlet King might recall some -if not all- remnants of the reality benders used at the SRAs to his leisure.
It makes sense that the Foundation would invent technological solutions and that they would then experience issues WITH those solutions. So long as that doesn't become what EVERY SCP is about, I'm fine with it. For instance 2669 is spooky as heck, and that's almost entirely the Foundation's fault.
Damn, this SCP is brutal. Does makes me miss the older, less organised days of the foundation. Like comparing a gritty, freelance product to a sleek, modernised presentation.
I think part of that comes from this being in the Broken Masquerade canon, where SCPF failed to keep themselves secret, so they are able to cooperate with Navies and Airforces for containing larger SCPs like this, instead of having to rely on the limited number of SCPS vessels they have, like in other entries where the Foundation is a secret.
@@AVerySexuallyDeviantOrange lmao. I just watched TheVolgun's video on SCP-2764 and I immediately see this. Go watch it if this comment doesn't make any sense.
I love the second addendum. You can really feel that emotions are running hot. Great voice work! Great voice work on this whole article because, among SCPs, this one NEEDS good voice work.
Jesus this might be my favorite video yet, not because the scp is all that cool but because you did such a phenomenal job with the VA man holy shit you actually nearly had me crying with Prof. Bakshi you did such an amazing job man!!!
For those wondering there is a another redacted paragraph in this article, he went missing but it’s heavily implied an 0-5 put Mr. devoid into a yellow jumpsuit and threw them in with the old man
Whether SRAs work or not, they weren't careful enough. It's like handling a gun- always treat it as if it's loaded, even if you know it isn't. Even if you know the SRA should work, act like it won't. Because the result of it not working is clearly too horrible to risk.
So the premise of this SCP is: you know about those things that are designed to stabilize reality? Well what if in a world where they can be mass produced, either due to a laps in quality control that no one developing them wants to admit, or there just being a limit to how many functional SRAs can exist, they just fail, and become a caus for reality to warp?
IIRC there's another SCP that's something like a faulty containment chamber that corrects changes to reality that never happened, and as a result things inside that chamber get progressively worse as time goes on.
The Mantok house cannon makes a suggestion for what SRAs actually are, how they are produced and why no-one should really be using any for more than 20 years, definitely a time bomb.
i really like how you put a partially finished red square on the thumbnails so that when a video has been watched, the red line at the bottom completes the square.
Your vocal range is just getting better and better; even years ago you were always standing out from others doing SCP work by knowing how to put emotion into your readings, rather than just being a flat text to speech reader, and really making something unique and your own. The interviews in this one really stand out and show that off even more!
Your skills as a voice actor make this audio drama sing. I believe and am swayed by every character, even as they contradict one another. I never get tired of this. Excellent work!
So to break it down, we got the 'regular' SCP timeline where where they kept them all secret and do some 'unethical' things to keep it that way And then this broken masquerade timeline where they couldn't keep it secret, still operate but now risk having a corporate disaster except instead of oil spill, reality ends. First time I'll say I prefer the shady societies...
@@jacobfreeman5444 Well, no, as far as Im aware within the broken masquerade cannon there is far more corporate and governmental involvement in the anomalous, and generally things arent going too well, but thats all I can say since I am not very well versed in that canon
@@jacobfreeman5444 think of it this way, what would happen if a company learned that with a bit of sacrifice and magic they could make an ad that could force someone to just send them money, or the wealthy elite learning that it is possible to live forever as long as ethics aren't an issue. While the foundation *really* doesn't want anyone to do that and has enough power to make sure most cases are contained they can't be everywhere.
@@techpriest2854 What they do now. Nothing really changed. People are just more aware of the bonkers things that could happen to them. It could and did happen even outside the broken masque timeline but most people were unaware and therefore naive to it.
Agreed. I've heard many horror stories about people being ordered to ignore safety protocols at the risk of their jobs and paying the ultimate price for it, especially in rural areas with a large manufacturing presence. Factory farms as well, although in that case it's mainly sanitation protocols, but that also causes some truly catastrophic things to happen.
The voice-overs in this are outstanding and indicative of the ever-improving quality of your vids. I deffo got sumthin in my eye during the more emotional portions and shivers down my spine throughout all the depositions.
I know I’m commenting on a 4 month old video but “it would end with us laughing, sipping ice cold beers and made bets on how long it’d be till all our monsters got tired of your screams” is a hard ass line
In actual accident investigations the mindset in this SCP is called "Tombstone Mentality" and it's everywhere in industrial or transport accidents. I have a thing for disaster science mind, I'm not a scientist. I just love learning about why a disaster is as bad as it is, including human error. This scp reminds me a bit of the investigation into the BP Oil spill. Also I LOVE that the MTFs actually have a survival instinct in this SCP instead of blindly jumping in. I am curious though, I forget its number but does 3241 use the Montauk house's explanation for where the Scranton Anchors come from? Might explain the massive failures and criticalities. There's a reason I prefer to depict the anchors as an inhibitor, and this scp is it. You start getting failures in that system and whatever story you're trying to tell can get complicated FAST.
Very interesting SCP. Excellent work on the video! Love how it starts as an SCP but quickly turns to a tale about a much larger organization wide problem.
Wow. As a relative noob to SCP lore, this entry (and channel) became an instant fave. Imho, your aesthetic and gripping performances really give these stories the texture and tenor they deserve. Keep up the amazing work!
I love the Ontokinetic SCPs. Something about the fact that a mere passing thought can turn the surroundings of the being into an unimaginable hellscape sends a chill down my spine that I thoroughly enjoy.
This is one of my favorite SCPs, thank you for doing this reading and thank you for picking a long read. Your short reads are great but your long reads are a master work of art.
Your reading of this was frikkin stellar. You got across the emotions that each person was feeling so well, it really added to the story being told through audio. Great stuff, man!
Hey man I just want to thank you for all you do. I’ve worked night shift for a few years now and your videos make it go by just a little bit faster. Keep up the great work my dude.
I dont remember the number, and cant look it up due to wikidot being down, but there is a time travelling train that manifests in an NYC train station one day per week for five minutes before midnight. Either someone will get on it and end up in either the past or the future, or someone from the past or the future will depart into our time.
Just one thing to point out, this happened even with TES, if you scrolled even more down you would have found an email by a member of the O5 council wich would have made the ending more satisfying. Overall a good video, i love the emotion you put in the second addendum
@@TheVolgun i know it sucks, it's thaks to that that now in every article i read i make sure to control if there is some hidden text or hidden addendum/email
"If you cant handle the risk of working with SCP, maybe you should get a job at 7-11" This insult is now classified as an SCP as Dr ■■■■■ was immediately burned upon completion of the sentence
That meme where the dog is sitting in a burning room and thinks “this is fine” comes to mind. What do you do when the equipment fails? Use the emergency equipment! What happens when that equipment fails? Kiss your sorry butt goodbye! In this case that could be actually possible 😅
With the generaly clinical tone of these videos your great voice acting shine even brighter in the more lively interviews, I was shaken by the Brashki(?) breakdown.
This would make a great movie! Excellent job. This is my favorite one of yours. I like your format better than some others. Please keep up the good work.

The Mantok house cannon makes a suggestion for what SRAs actually are, how they are produced and why no-one should really be using any for more than 20 years, definitely a time bomb.
@@alberttrita5858 do you have the number of this scp? the premise sounds quite interesting.
@@techpriest2854 unfortunately no.
i really like how you put a partially finished red square on the thumbnails so that when a video has been watched, the red line at the bottom completes the square.
Your vocal range is just getting better and better; even years ago you were always standing out from others doing SCP work by knowing how to put emotion into your readings, rather than just being a flat text to speech reader, and really making something unique and your own. The interviews in this one really stand out and show that off even more!
Your skills as a voice actor make this audio drama sing. I believe and am swayed by every character, even as they contradict one another. I never get tired of this. Excellent work!
I LOVE how their solution, no matter how bad the problems are, is "more magic boxes"
So to break it down, we got the 'regular' SCP timeline where where they kept them all secret and do some 'unethical' things to keep it that way
And then this broken masquerade timeline where they couldn't keep it secret, still operate but now risk having a corporate disaster except instead of oil spill, reality ends.
First time I'll say I prefer the shady societies...
So nothing changed other than people are aware of how screwed they are?
@@jacobfreeman5444 Well, no, as far as Im aware within the broken masquerade cannon there is far more corporate and governmental involvement in the anomalous, and generally things arent going too well, but thats all I can say since I am not very well versed in that canon
@@jacobfreeman5444 think of it this way, what would happen if a company learned that with a bit of sacrifice and magic they could make an ad that could force someone to just send them money, or the wealthy elite learning that it is possible to live forever as long as ethics aren't an issue. While the foundation *really* doesn't want anyone to do that and has enough power to make sure most cases are contained they can't be everywhere.
@@techpriest2854 What they do now. Nothing really changed. People are just more aware of the bonkers things that could happen to them. It could and did happen even outside the broken masque timeline but most people were unaware and therefore naive to it.
Professor Sherman was literally the only voice of logical reason in this entire entry😂🤦♂️
This was a fascinating narrative on internal struggles pertaining to the efficacy of safety measures, and one that's surprisingly very resonant.
Agreed. I've heard many horror stories about people being ordered to ignore safety protocols at the risk of their jobs and paying the ultimate price for it, especially in rural areas with a large manufacturing presence. Factory farms as well, although in that case it's mainly sanitation protocols, but that also causes some truly catastrophic things to happen.
The voice-overs in this are outstanding and indicative of the ever-improving quality of your vids. I deffo got sumthin in my eye during the more emotional portions and shivers down my spine throughout all the depositions.
The voice acting in this is outstanding! Great job!
My guys voice acting is on point in this one!! He did everything from a British dude to a country American and even and Indian dude lol
You know it's serious when someone thinks what you've gotta say is a "load of bupkis."
I know I’m commenting on a 4 month old video but “it would end with us laughing, sipping ice cold beers and made bets on how long it’d be till all our monsters got tired of your screams” is a hard ass line
In actual accident investigations the mindset in this SCP is called "Tombstone Mentality" and it's everywhere in industrial or transport accidents. I have a thing for disaster science mind, I'm not a scientist. I just love learning about why a disaster is as bad as it is, including human error. This scp reminds me a bit of the investigation into the BP Oil spill.
Also I LOVE that the MTFs actually have a survival instinct in this SCP instead of blindly jumping in.
I am curious though, I forget its number but does 3241 use the Montauk house's explanation for where the Scranton Anchors come from? Might explain the massive failures and criticalities. There's a reason I prefer to depict the anchors as an inhibitor, and this scp is it. You start getting failures in that system and whatever story you're trying to tell can get complicated FAST.
Very interesting SCP. Excellent work on the video!
Love how it starts as an SCP but quickly turns to a tale about a much larger organization wide problem.
The voice acting in this episode is absolutely phenomenal keep up the fantastic work
Love the references to "Odo Island." A good cheeky little Godzilla reference.
Oooh, I remember this one)
nice job!
too bad that scp wiki is not online right now
Yeah, I wanted to look a couple things up only to find out I can't right now...
whyy
@@halohaalo2583 Russians

Wait, what? Why?
Wow. As a relative noob to SCP lore, this entry (and channel) became an instant fave. Imho, your aesthetic and gripping performances really give these stories the texture and tenor they deserve. Keep up the amazing work!
i was super psyched to see you cover this one, and it was even better than i could have hoped for. your acting skills are amazing as always, tysm
I love the Ontokinetic SCPs. Something about the fact that a mere passing thought can turn the surroundings of the being into an unimaginable hellscape sends a chill down my spine that I thoroughly enjoy.
Its always a treat to hear the emotion and personality you put into interview sections
This is one of my favorite SCPs, thank you for doing this reading and thank you for picking a long read.
Your short reads are great but your long reads are a master work of art.
The voice acting was so good on this one. Thank you so much for your hard work!
"An anchor is safe enough on land, but the last thing you want when drowning..." or something like that.
Dude that was some good acting man! I really felt that character’s pain in his voice! Great job! 👏🏼🧐
Your reading of this was frikkin stellar. You got across the emotions that each person was feeling so well, it really added to the story being told through audio. Great stuff, man!
Hey man I just want to thank you for all you do. I’ve worked night shift for a few years now and your videos make it go by just a little bit faster. Keep up the great work my dude.
Holy MOLY Volg, your voice acting just blows me away, that emotive section was amazing, I really felt it, damn good job.
This was really fascinating. The concept of parts of a person turning into glass was almost sublime in its sheer horror, never seen that before.
One of the best SCP stories of all time in my opinion, and the voice acting in this video is fantastic.
SCP's that revolve around vehicles or buildings are always my favorites so this was perfect, I wonder if any are about a train
342 is.
(“I like trains” asdf movie)- scp 7R41N (train)
I've thought about some interesting concepts revolving around car SCPs. I've just never bothered to go searching to see if these exist already.
@@jwalster9412 there's the one about giant car shaped bugs that eat its passengers or something
I dont remember the number, and cant look it up due to wikidot being down, but there is a time travelling train that manifests in an NYC train station one day per week for five minutes before midnight. Either someone will get on it and end up in either the past or the future, or someone from the past or the future will depart into our time.
Great voice acting! You nail the subtleties of coexisting accents and accents across great emotional ranges. Well-executed!
Dr. Bakshi actually sounded completely devastated. Great voice work!
I love how many almost-references to the original Godzilla there are in this one lol
Just one thing to point out, this happened even with TES, if you scrolled even more down you would have found an email by a member of the O5 council wich would have made the ending more satisfying.
Overall a good video, i love the emotion you put in the second addendum
Damn, really? ... I wish author's wouldn't bury details in articles in a cryptic way. I would have loved to have seen that. This is a bummer :(
@@TheVolgun hey, if you can make a follow up, we would love to see that
@@TheVolgun i know it sucks, it's thaks to that that now in every article i read i make sure to control if there is some hidden text or hidden addendum/email
Dissapointing... but not for me! *looks ups SCP-3241*
I get why authors do that as a literary device, but in a form-vs-function context, it's a bad way of constructing a story.
i really like how exploring the series and thevolgun uploads the same time. double the happines.😊
Wow! The voice acting in this was probably the best of yours I've heard to date, keep it up as usual.
Really good voice acting. It really pulls you in.
This has always been a favorite of mine. I love the discussion around the SRAs in particular. Thanks for covering it!!!!
Oh hell yes, i was thinking about this one a couple of days ago. Keep it up
You’re getting ridiculously good with your narrations my man. Best scp channel on UA-cam no doubt
Thank you so much, love the production values. Cheers and best wishes.
Technically we need a boat with 31 SRA's to put the sommerfeld back in its place.
I need to work out how scranton reality anchors would work in that rpg I was running before covid started...
This is one of my favorite SCPs out there, and your reading was absolutely perfect. ♥
I need to know the guy who played Prof. Gambheer Bakshi! that speech at the angry section was so masterful and i was just HOOKED!
someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but iirc all the voices are performed by the video maker
"If you cant handle the risk of working with SCP, maybe you should get a job at 7-11" This insult is now classified as an SCP as Dr ■■■■■ was immediately burned upon completion of the sentence
I always feel a slight twinge of fear when I hear "object class: keter"
You get over it... Especially knowing that some Keter class only have a specific range at which they can effect you.
I miss the Dr's incredibly unnerving "Good afternoon... .. every... one."
Man the reason I listen to you is for the emotions. I got all teared up from the doctor crying
Your voice work is incredible! You define and act your characters so well. You don’t realise your ‘only’ listening 👏🏻🤘🏻
Great presentation. I always look forward to seeing you upload another of these. Keep up the good work man.
that ending section literally put chill down my spine, I love trying to do chores and stopping whatever I'm doing to listen to you speak.
Absolutely insane, every video of yours is a treat Volgun!
damn the voice work for the inquire sections are amazing. really gets you like its an actual audio recording playing of these people.
also not 1 less than 15 minimum to keep from having a catastrophic failure. - CEO ok lets put in 6 that should be fine.
That meme where the dog is sitting in a burning room and thinks “this is fine” comes to mind. What do you do when the equipment fails? Use the emergency equipment! What happens when that equipment fails? Kiss your sorry butt goodbye! In this case that could be actually possible 😅
Absolutely incredible voice work. The emotions feel so genuine it hurts; keep up the great work!
The narration on this was absolutely amazing!
Wow, this is a new level for The Volgun's voice acting!
Thanks!
You're welcome! (and Thank YOU!)
Babe, wake up, new Volgun
With the generaly clinical tone of these videos your great voice acting shine even brighter in the more lively interviews, I was shaken by the Brashki(?) breakdown.
None of these narrorations have made me fucking sob before but 'angry' got me it got me so bad
This would make a great movie! Excellent job. This is my favorite one of yours. I like your format better than some others. Please keep up the good work.
Awesome, qualify entertainment for my late night before bed viewing, thanks for posting.
This was so well done. The emotions. Oh man. So good!
Beautifully narrated, thank you so much ❤️
The voice acting for Bakshi is phenomenal, dude. Keep it up!
wow really good voice work on this one. the scientist giving his statement on how he could have saved his colleague was great. overall good reading.
This is my favorite scp, and I have dreamed of you covering it to see your VA skills on the different characters. I am so happy its finally hear
"Have you ever seen a scranton reality anchor go critical? I have. Words like "biblical" come to mind." For some reason that phrase gives me chills.
Ah yes, an answer to the age-old question “What if the one thing scarier than Lovecraftian horrors was corporate malfeasance and negligence?”
yo... 23:00-24:00 is so legit good acting, mad props
"Take our technician and everything will be fine!"
*Takes (first willing) technician*
"YOU manipulative MONSTER, how could you, I should have stopped him"
Articles like this that serve more to build the universe than show off a neat monster or object are the mortar to the bricks of this writing project. Love em.
This is like going into a warzone with autonomous machine guns that can randomly turn around and start shooting you
The voice acting in this one is truly impressive, congrats
