SCP-140: aight, here's the next chapter boys
When your real anomalous trait is the redactions you made along the way.
“He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past” “1984” by George Orwell
A truth that rings true with the foundation
Glad to see that most of the channels I watch you also watch, glad I’m also subbed to you for your risqué thumbnails haha
He who controls the past, commands the future. He who commands the future, conquers the past. - Kane paraphrasing a famous line from 1984.

And one that perfectly goes along with this anomaly and what it is capable of
I can't help but wonder if the Daevites at some point became wise to 4011, and created 140 specifically to counter it, effectively beating the ancient Foundation by brute-forcing history.
Possibly, but i actually think not. this facility was apparently built in the 1500's and the daevites wrote the book hundreds of years earlier. then again, when you're mucking around with time travel viewing it as a straight line is a big no no, so. its possible I suppose.
@@kylieschuttloffel1261 Well considering how infinite the number of timelines there could possibly be, it’s likely that anything involving the Daevites could be responsible for 4011 being unable to affect 140
They have other tools that they can use to rewrite history, such as the thaumatargic ritual from SCP-5711.
Well,I think they would've thought about who else could change history and made sure their book was immune against it. Just a thought.
Seems to be the case, and makes me think there's a Daevite plant on the council.
I HAVE A THEORY! SCP-4011 was created using magic the foundation obtained from studying SCP-140, by erasing 140, 4011 would erase itself, and it can't either due to a failsafe, or due to paradox.
That’s...actually a pretty good theory. It could be possible that’s the reason why SCP-4011 can’t affect SCP-140, because if it weren’t for 140 it wouldn’t even exist! So basically a paradox or extremely hidden failsafe code inside SCP-4011 prevents from doing anything to 140! I think your theory is highly likely and possibly true
Yeah we know that foundation uses scp's to counter other
On a basic meta level, 4011 is very similar numerically to 140, one is in the 5th series of entries so its well into the 4 digits, but other wise its 1-40 turned into 40-1 with a 1 added, so I'd say there's a very strong and I'd argue deliberate connection between the two entries.

"Daevite history tends to be a little fluid. " Got a chuckle out of me.
The foundation of the 1500s that built this place was far more advanced technologically. It seems every time this anomaly erases a threat the foundation becomes less advanced.
Or even more scary, maybe this anomaly is actively erasing their knowledge and technology.
The Foundation and the SCP seem to be different, if related. My guess is before the book was known the SCP assumed the foundation was still their progenitor and thus to be protected. Of course it is necessity that pushes development so I would guess that as the Foundation was protected it stopped developing quite as fast since there was no need. Essentially...the SCP is destroying itself. With each revision it forces those who would have made it to deviate further from what they were. Maybe even making the threat it was trying to defeat too strong to defeat in the process. Basically it is a successful failure. It does what it was designed to do but utterly fails at what was intended.
It's most likely they got support from the Mekhanites.
I was think something very similer.
Using concept art from the game Control is such a great idea and also so fitting for this SCP.
((For many reason but also because Control is basically a really big SCP story, that you can play yourself))
Your work not only is entertaining, but gives me comfort. I am visually impaired and reading on my tiny phone or getting someone to help me isn’t always easy. I appreciate the work you do!
This seems like something a person would make if dared to create an SCP multiversal lynchpin: an anomaly that links all the different continuities in one as best as possible.
“Security protocols enabled,” the drone spoke over the COM. “Ring offensive system activated,” it said. “Shield in countdown mode. Exchange proper counterresponse, Reclaimer.”
“Non sequitur,” it said. “Reclassification of targets as non-Reclaimers. Aboriginal subspecies. Collect for further analysis-else neutralize as possible infection vector.”
Can you imagine being a historian working with the Foundation? You have access to these incredible sources of accurate historical information such as Alexandria Eternal, Robot Cassandra, this SCP, and even the History of the Daevites. You have all these sources of information that others would kill to have access to, but you cannot access them without 05 Clearance and even if you have access to it you'll be lucky to include it in an article of an Internal SCP Magazine but almost never be able to publish it to anyone else.
Now I understand why so many historians turn to the Serpent's Hand or the Horizon Initiative.
One of the iterations of the O5s are said to have extensive knowledge about Mekhanite and Daevite history, although there is no canon.
O5-10 from "The Way It Ends" probably have all of that knowledge and more.
It actually literally impossible to make a timeline in-universe. The O5s tasked a historian to make a history of the foundation only for the "everything is cannon" to bite her in the ass. She encountered everything from conflicting accounts of the Foundation's origins to different cannons such as Pitch Haven, Stealong Solidarity and Dust and Blood with Pitch Haven and Dust and Blood being problematic since both conflict on 682's origins.
The idea of the NASA agents seeing the SCP symbol and trying to respond is very funny to me. I see them frantically putting hands over others' eyes, "YOU SAW NOTHING! YOU SAW NOTHING!!! I NEED TO MAKE A CALL!!" 🙀
Would you ever consider doing SCP-2474? It's very confusing and I wish more people got the chance to understand it.
just read SCP-2474 and I'll 2nd that, very interesting scp

"The more things change, the more they stay the same. Boundries shift, new players step in; but power ways finds a place to rest its head. We fought and bleed alongside the Russians; we should've known they'd hate us for it. History is written by the victor, and here I am, thinking we'd won. But you bring down one enemy and they find someone even worse to replace them. Locations change, the rationale, the objective. Yesterday's enemies are today's recruits. Train them to fight alongside you and pray they don't hate you for it, too"

So very deep of a quote. It truly makes you think how history is a bitter mistress
@@dumbshitmule2251 Depends, since there's also the OG WW2 trilogy and the Black Ops trilogy; there's also Infinite Warfare's campaign, if you can overlook the multiplayer.
The explanation that makes the most sense for the AI to simply not eradicate the current foundation is that it just can’t. If the AI is just code, obviously whoever engineered it can put it a simple directive to not harm the foundation in any way. Which would also explain why it only *requests* access to 140.
That’s my understanding at least.
This reminds me of the Doctors of the Church canon, it's where the foundation is made into a religion in the destopian future
SCP: -Exist-
4011: *And I Took That Personally*
I recently started to play Control. I am just baffled, this game could have very well been set in the SCP Universe for how alike it is to it. The FBC is very much like how we could envision the Foundation in our own world and the items of power and their files are so obvious in their inspiration. It is awesome. The crash rates because of "out of video memory" though are quite infamous.
Ironically enough, given the theme of the SCP, this SCP was my first introduction to SCP-140 and the Daevites. Does a really good job of making them feel like a massive threat when even this hyper advanced, history altering facility is corrupted and falls apart at the mere mention of SCP-140.
I'm here so early, SCP-106 is still in containment
*Daevites do something*
Scp-4011:"Im gonna stop you before there"
The Daevites probably tried to stop that by SCP-140
i'm getting a star trek voyager 'year of hell' vibe from this SCP. it alters time to wipe out the foundation in the pasts greatest enemy, only to end up nearly wiping out the very civilization that created it, in instead it does what it can to protect the foundation over the years even when they're creators are long since erased from history. something i wouldn't be surprised if the facility AI didn't try to alter history more in order to undo the damage they had done to history.

"Hello, I'm Victor and this is my friend, Victor. We're here to write history."
Have you seen the WEBTOON comic known as “Room of Swords”? Apparently in their season 2 finale it stated in the end as a new SCP-001 proposal know as the “Room of Swords” categorized as Thaumiel. Please check it out and make any connections to any known SCP’s.
Cool
I get really excited when you post a new SCP video, can't lie. It's the stuff I like to listen to as I'm laying down for sleep. Haven't found another channel that does it as well as you.
It is truly shocking how often the foundation will find stuff that seems to have been made by them and yet they have no record of
I've been waiting WEEKS to be working alone so I can binge this all, and today has been the day, I've gone through like 3 videos and have like 4 more exploring series videos to watch. I shouldn't be this excited but HOT DAMN it's making this work day a little less shit
"Daevite history tends to be a little fluid."
I see what you did there
Just wanted to mention how great these are. thanks for the great reads and amazing voice!
My headcanon for why the foundation is the way that it is, is that the current iteration of the foundation is what happened because it tried to erase SCP-140, and that's why we're "too tied up" in it.
This would make things kind of weird with the interaction with the MTF who remembered that war, but I think it's not unreasonable to say they'd find out a lot more differences between their memory and their own in time.
The most likely reason the "Alpha 1 Array" (A1A) of SCP-4011 can not "mess" with SCP-140 is that both were built from the same anomalous source.
-> Trying to destroy one or the other may cause a chain reaction of "undo, UNDO , U N D O . . . reset." that would cancel all things every done by either [that would be randomly bad].
Brilliantly done as always. You produce my favorite SCP readings/summaries.
Was rewatching your older videos and you suddenly posted a new one? My day just got brighter :)
I'm still kind of confused about this SCP, what about it turned it from a thaumiel to keter?
The scp is able to change the continuity of the time line and it is not under the command of the Scp fundation. It means that this scp is a potential danger for the scp foundation.
I honestly loved that last line. I also just love listening to your videos. They are so good.
"enjoying yourself, intruders?"
I liked this one. Kinda had some event horizon/alien/back to the future mashup vibes. Nice, Mang!
These stories are really calming to listen to
It took me playing Control and occasionally looking at your videos to see how much of Control you use for background pictures and I think it's one of the coolest touches you've added in your videos
nasa finding a foundation facility on mars really really shouldnt seem like a crossover episode but it fucking does
I've been a LONG time listener this is the 1st time I've used earbuds and the audio quality is just fantastic, nice work
What an interesting Catch-22! 4011 must protect the Foundation by destroying 140, but 4011 also can’t destroy 140 without simultaneously destroying the deeply-intertwined Foundation.
It's a stalemate essentially.
