Week 7: Fast Forward to 2020

[foundationmods]

It is done.

The last tape has played. All of the information that can be found from them has been discovered. They are free to re-watch the tapes, but nothing new can be found there.

The barrier will fail next Saturday. This is unavoidable. The barrier set by Tages will finally fall, and the curse will be free once more.

The only question is, what will those left alive in 2020 do to prepare?

what the hell

[foundationmods]

Hello to you too, Sissel.

[ghostricked]

who are you. are you their boss? they finished the tapes why aren't we doing something yet?

[foundationmods]

They have gathered a lot of information, and now they need to make a plan.

There is still one week before the barrier falls, so there is time to make that plan.

[ghostricked]

[...]

fine. i guess i've already waited 20 years, another week won't kill me

...that's a ghost pun. I'm still not sure how well tone carries in writing

[foundationmods]

Ha! It is a very funny ghost pun. :)

[ghostricked]

thanks, i try to stay on brand.

you still haven't said who you are. another O5?

[foundationmods]

In a way, yes.

Many millennia ago, I saw a need for humanity- and all living beings on earth, really- to be protected from the dangers that exist here. SCPs aren't always hostile, but many of them are dangerous simply by their nature. They need to be watched over and carefully monitored to limit their threat to the world.

Solomon was a trusted king. I could see into his heart and I knew he was a powerful king and a good man. So I went to him, and I said to him "Gather your trusted people, ones you know will do the right thing regardless of the cost. Gather them, and make a team to combat these threats to humanity."

Ah, but he has always been a devout man. When he created the Foundation, he insisted that I be 'O5-1', regardless of how little I actually participated in the day-to-day operations. He insisted that if he had to be the leader, he still be secondary to me.

[Somehow a sense of fondness carries over those words, even if they're typed.]

[ghostricked]

so the two of you created the foundation itself...

[And to Sissel, who has no concept of human history or myth... this could as easily be only a few generations ago- not a huge swath of human history. The feeling of fondness makes him smile]

devout... ah, like Ky?

[foundationmods]

Yes, like Ky.

[ghostricked]

only to you instead of god. I think I get it

[oh sissel you're so close. poor kitty's concept of scale is very limited]

[foundationmods]

[Sissel you sweet summer child.]

I am glad that you understand :)

[ghostricked]

[look dog you made cats this way]

also: I'm guessing that was you in the last video. the foundation isn't really being run by a pomeranian, is it?

[foundationmods]

Ahaha, you are correct. That was me.

My name is 'dog' but I am not literally a dog :)

[ghostricked]

not that there's anything wrong with that. my best friend is a dog

[foundationmods]

Missile, correct?

[ghostricked]

oh, you know him? i never mentioned him during my intake interview...

[Guess who also doesn't know he's a video game yet]

[foundationmods]

If you ask the others around you, I am sure they can explain for you.

[ghostricked]

ah, got it. it's one of those 'what you missed these 20 years' things. He better not have shown up here, this place would break his heart.

also: they said we need another O5 to fight a clown- if you're one can't you just do it? If you need to make one we could use the temsik too]

[Let's assume he was told the requirements for O5ship]

[foundationmods]

Alas, I cannot fight. You do already have my vote as an O-5, though, as well as Mission Control's. You just need a third vote to turn things in your favor. The other two O-5s are, unfortunately, not as agreeable as me.

[ghostricked]

So we need Solomon, who would vote with you since he's so devoted, or someone else on our side. Got it.

If we don't need to make a new one then I'll find the temsik and destroy it then. There's enough immortals running around already.

[foundationmods]

Your body is within the Winchester mansion still, so you can find it and destroy the fragment if you like.

[oceanicbutterfly]

[bless you sissel-san you are trying your best]
