Well the inconherentness is due to Me writing it…For quite a bit then leaving it and then coming back again to it.
The carnivorous citadel was supposed to be diffrent dimension stuff but i quickly diched it.
And I did not hear abaut your discousion With Baron. I was mostly inspired By a movie Monster House. You know a house that lives. And is almoust organic.
I think the numbering went kind of out of order because of my image (it was actually number 5, but somehow the 5 was near the bottom) so in order to make this confusing, but in a wholly different way, I present ye: no numbering at all!
- I maintain that your plan for communication, besides requiring access to both people cleared to use the Network and sufficient livers to feed them is highly unpractical, especially given what we are capable of doing already. (E.g. Base 19 writing back-ups even when caught up in extradimensional glitch kingdom.)
It may, however, be doable. It áll depends on how long the process actually takes, which, again, I can't find any reliable info on since not even the infamous cannibal forums can really tell you the nutritional value of a human liver, and I'm not feeling like seeking out the few people who could know with this question. - As you can not die without Triskelion's interference, and your death coincides with him gaining your memories, we arrived at "correlation may not imply causation, but it doesn't matter either way".
- Interestingly enough, such a "seminar" was something that I have planned in my Foundation canon since SCP-178 (not 176 as I mistakenly claimed) as briefing from Task Force DE2-𝔓. However, said Task Force (notice the absence of "Mobile", which people get wrong to the present day, sigh…) is lead by Elizabeth Sault, the sister of Leander Sault, and that opens up the entire Asphodelus can of worms which has proportions rivaling even the Vaults.
- Triskelion stays active in his realm. I also decided to just expunge all similes with dreams here, because it seems to lead to misunderstandings, when this is supposed to be a reality bender in his own little pocket universe.
- Oh my. How narrow minded of you. Whilst others might succumb to existential dread (pure Heideggerian Angst) upon realizing they are in a dream, but not the dreamer, I see it as an opportunity: Just because I'm not real doesn't mean I can not hurt you. And when the prize is godlike power, believe me, I won't have trouble ganging up on you to gain.
- On the same note, your concerns about your real body requiring maintanance can be mostly mitigated if you speed up the speed of the "simulation" accordingly (this is for dreams, and not the actual Liver Network). If you want a breakdown of this concept, I recommend you play Tartarus Engine (it's free!) or watch SFIA's episode on the Omega Point (the … least wishy-washy explanation of a concept usually tainted in pseudoscientific new age though) on how you can get something that is for practical purposes as good as infinity in finite time.
- Interestingly, "the hand of the author" is actually the most noticeable in the "unprocessed" requirement for the livers. Just like with, idk, the R.I.P.s inability to have its sound channels digitalized, this is a classic case where I make the magic go away under too much scrutiny to avoid rather obvious loopholes. In this case, Vitamin A tablets.
I should get around to actually updating the draft. My last few excuses have been, in order:
- I'm sick
- I'm still sick
- BlazBlue Entropy Effect is such a good game
- One more run
- Only one more run really
- I made to much rice and now I need to lean back and metabolize first

First of, SPaG:
The building was supposed to serve a role of moving hedquates due to it’s ability to teleport. But due to unpedicability the object has rarely been utulised yet in the year 2001 the building has been sold to an individual know as Doctor Kenichi Kuromo for Czarne kwadraciki.

etc.
Now, the file in itself is very incoherent: why is it the Woman's Building, and then later the Carnivorous Citadel?
This thing seems too useful to sell it, especially since I'm not sure how that even would work for an object that is apparently able to teleport (which, btw, you mentioned once in the Usage and then never elaborated on in the Report).
Neither do I think that this is something that must be "highly classified" - assuming standard clearance procedures for the entire Item database, i see no reason why this would be special enough to warrant a higher classification than most of the stuff. There is no particulary sensitive information on it, besides "this is a wierd thing that exists".
Originally designed and implemented by an unknown anomalous architect, the building displays extraordinary properties that defy the laws of reality.
I.e. "it's anomalous". Adding this would perhaps make sense if this report was written early in the Insu's history, but this necessarily has to be a post 1991 document, so it's just wierd.
Image's are best added through the Image wizard, but you can use [[image source]] for more configuration options.
I. e. [[image https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/80/The_Women%27s_Building_%283573566864%29.jpg]] would give you this:
That's hotlinked, but hotlinking is okay for drafts. Just make sure to upload the image as fiel attachment to your finished work.
Also, I can't but notice this is basically a nerfed Vault-CANCER. Usually, it'd just be a case of "Great Minds think alike, and small ones seldom differ", but after having given a rather detailed breakdown of it on Discord (in #horror, I believe. Search for "werehouse", in a discussion between baron and myself), I wonder just how much of this was inspired by it.

P.S how do you add Pictures?
- So, if we put someone under, they are still under and than another one is put under that is considered difficult why? Or is there a fixed maximum on how long you can be under? If both parties start eating at the same time, one might pass out up to ~30 minutes sooner, but I read it that you can stay in the state of overdose for a while before it gets irreversible ("Diese Anzeichen sind etwa 36 Stunden nach Absetzen der Vitamin A-Quelle reversibel." Wikipedia).
- -
- That does not address the memory transfer question.
- Do you plan on writing a seminar about it? Like the introduction to the field investigation?
- So, the thing stays active after the original wakes up? If so, you have not addressed my concerns. People think being crazy is easy, but from my vantage point, that guy will need the bathroom and his food eventually. I would create something, and be it a drawing. That something is ether from me or someone pretending to be me. In both cases I have at least one real thing in a fake world. Because one of us made that picture. If that other thing pretending to be me follows my intentions, my will can still be exercised in a fake world.
- -
- The subsistence thing should have been here in regards to: "Triskelion subsists on nothing but human thought." Since he is not running out, he is not consuming it.
- The pool is not a Jacuzzi, not even if you install the bubble canons yourself. Do not shame the art of social adjustment brainwashing.
- Super beings creating anomalies to send against fictional humans that not realizing or even realizing their situation just trying to make the best of it, while not agreeing on a definition for best? If the hand of the author needs to be explained away I usually just attribute phenomena to other things that would have similar power that exist in universe. With me it is easy to say "Meta made it." ,fully sidestep the issue, running headfirst into "What didn't he make?". Do you remember "Sea of fading lights"? I do, and I have yet to expand on the mini-tale of a guy finding out he only exists because I wanted an in-universe person to talk to.

- I myself don't know how much liver it'll take and it is going to vary massively between persons. (Turns out that even cannibals aren't much interested in the nutritional value of human livers, so I have to guesstimate based on other animals anyway.) Coordinating the exact point of time for subjects to access the network is intentionally difficult.
- —
- You can't die in the dream unless he kills you. Again time is completely independent of the outside: when the outside body awakens, through whatever means, the time inside will have passed for the subject, no matter whether it were seconds or years. I should make that clearer, it seems.
- I doubt it is actually a dream — I actually have very detailed made-up jargon on how dreams are researched, back from SCP-176-DE(?) — and this is more akin to a pocket universe or a reality overwrite.
- That's a very neurotypical way to think, frankly. You'd be suprised how capable of entertaining themselves some people can be.

- What a nice word for "brainwashing" you have there!
Also:
This whole thing does not feel like natural law of the universe
Need I remind you about the entire quintessential premise of this site?
Eschew elucidation, espouse obfuscation.
- The info "05:00 GMT L-Network" can be send far easier than a full GOI inside scoop. The only problem remaining would be to get the livers. How many are we talking here anyway? Also, we need to find an easier way in there. This whole thing does not feel like natural law of the universe, which implies construction otherwise it would not care where the vitamin comes from. Are we even sure it is the vitamin and not something else that is found in human livers exclusively? If cooking destroys it I would look for an enzyme or bacteria.
- -
- Does killing yourself in the dream give Triskelion the info or is that depended on him killing a subject? Does waking up the outside body pull you out of the dream and does that transfer memory?
- Testing how to escape a dream realm is probably best done from inside. Since Triskelion is not the ideal researcher we would need someone inside. This arks back to the multiple user simultaneously question.
- I have yet to try to create a foreign intelligence in my lucid dreams. I usually do not have enough lucidity to concentrate on scientific research. Triskelion probably does not have that problem. He also has perfect recall, so if he dreams up someone he meet in the past, that someone might be identical to the original, it is the sum of all of their memories. If that construct than has the Rick&Morty-I-Am-A-Memory breakdown, we have a problem, maybe even a NowhereKing.
- He does not subsist. He would have run out a while ago. What ever keeps him going, it is not visitors.

Uh, quick replies, will probably elongate tomorrow:
- I'm not sure if multiple people can be inside the Network at once. Probably yes, but the coordination required to have them access it simultaneously implies you are already capable of exchanging info with one another. Reminder: they basically have to be comatose both at once, as time inside the Network is detached from the real world. Something something Blame! reference.
- There is probably a hollow column inside of Triskelion, yes. Imagine cocking your head back slightly to the left, so that then your forehead will be where the shoulder of the part to your left would be. Just a bit of body horror.
- Huh, reading it again I really should have mentioned that dying in the dream is like in any other: you simply wake up. There is no lasting harm (except, y'know, bone, liver, kidney and vein damage). Something something A House of Many Doors reference.
- Triskelion isn't the brightest, really. He lived for an indefinite amount of time knowing nothing but the savanna from our ancestor's memories, so he can probably cope. Even with a research lab, he'd be completely useless, and we're getting just as much done from the outside.
- The dangers of Triskelion messing around in his domain are about as bad as you doing so in a lucid dream. As long as he has no access to any medium-transcending infohazard or summoning chants for dream-travelling entities, there is nothing to worry about.
- As time is detached from dream duration, he would have to keep the subject there for literally infinite time in the domain. And even then, I'd argue whether or not the subject returns is something where the cosmos just shrugs and goes "I dunno either". As Triskelion is pretty dull, he might not even realize what was going on if the sacrificial subject didn't either.
- The Snail does not slow you down, it is just slow acting and tearing your mind apart. (Fun Fact: I originally references SPCGs here, but then realized that even if people knew that this meant Solarplexus Clown Glider, it wouldn't necessarily make much sense.) cognitohazards sit in the sweet spot between merely memetic hazards (can literally fail because you don't understand the language) and infohazards (can't even encode them by laying rocks into formation without suffering the consequences), where they hit everything adjacent to the human noosphere (e.g. not an eldritch horror) quite well, and so far, Triskelion subsists on nothing but human thought.
- Fractal meme is actually a nice idea and I'm embarrassed it isn't mine. There are at least two SCPs contained with similar tricks, so having something to that effect up our sleeves is probably SCHEMA 101. (Just kidding: SCHEMA 101 is your CYS story. Mind raping gods is SCHEMA 102.

I am already contemplating whether I can connect Triskelion to the "Circle of Clowns" or the "Graveyard Machine". If there was not an explicit ban on using graveyard machine I would have said GYM is better suited to LNs proposed function. That interface is at least not alien or overly powerful.
Let me give you how I understood it:
If you eat enough human liver to overdose on Vitamin A you can go to a place fully under control of a entity that I would call a "Dream Demon".
We use that realm to store information. (Usage does not mention us using the Network as a telephone that can not be tracked or a place to meat without the risk of one party killing the other). Usage is actually pretty sparse on what we do with it. It has the how but not the why.
How do you have three right halves? If you connect shoulder to sternum is the result hollow in the middle? Where do the arms attach?
"search a better way" have we given him a research lab with research assistance or did we just cross fingers and hope? Removing that exit restriction should be high priority.
If someone without creativity gets access to human fiction and can freely implement what ever they want, we might soon have him creating his "Eve" and than we might have a runaway evolution. Do we have data on how he copes with loneliness? Does he even have emotions?
"non-exotic" storage? What is exotic under that standard?
"should be assumed a success"? Do not assume success. If mr polite thinks we tried to kill him he is not obligated to let anyone out. Also, if the snail in not the noise, I do not think it can act against realty warping and perfect recall. You need to give me snail specifics and I can create a failure scenario.
Scenario 1: He tries to kill itself. If that usually sends humans out it might get Triskelion out too.
Scenario 2: Addiction. If he can not overdose on it, he might develop a full exposure immunity or might assimilate the attacking effect into its own.
Scenario 3: Slowdown. If he gets slower and the outside world gets faster he might use his power to speed himself up. In the worst case he overshoots and is from than on faster than everything else in his world. Him attempting to make fire shows that he is not beneath trying out things. If we store intelligence in his head he might know what overclocking is or have Star Trek and Stargate in there, both things that dealt with slowed down enemies and what those did to get out.
I would say that if we want him dead, send in the white noise or the Unsinger, that should do the trick. Or he might find a better container for it than we have.
If we want to overcook the mind space we should also consider flooding it with random data. Perfect recall does not imply fast mental rewind. Creating the equivalent of a fractal meme might do it. Something that infinity generates a pattern that than directly streams into memory. But I would need to develop it myself as that thing is not currently in one of the relevant arsenals, Main and Uncanny.

Welp, guess a new draft just dropped: Liver Network
I'll be working on formatting and SPaG, but somehow I get the feeling that this suffers from severe R.I.P. syndrom when it comes to narrative order. So if anyone could give input on how to make it more coherent for the non-autorial mind, that'd be dandy.
Any other crit is also welcome.

I shall not comment about the glaringly obvious.
"The Happening at the Airport" is both a reference to South Korea's dedication to privacy and namedrops The Happening At The Airport, a tale from SCP-KO you should really give a read, even if it has no relation to the plot here.
As for the Vaults, you may take it as granted that the later part of this story takes place in Incheon.
Thanks for the SPaG. This thing was an absolute cold post and developed in about as much time as its prequel, so I'm going to go through it right now.

Did we plant the book or has someone just published classified information about our weapon caches? Did we recover the book or is it with the Foundation because the police got to it or did its last user put it in the trash for someone else to find? I know the story does not care, but I do.
Nice story, I just missed where it ties into the vaults.
If they don't work there how did they get the airport photos?
The happening at the airport came just when I needed it.

It's Valentine's Day, and I decided to commemorate it with a sequel to something that really did not need a sequel.
The nihilistic outlook is to blame on Eric Juvi, Jordan E. Benjamin and Mike Klubnika, who are one heck of a messed-up mix when experienced in quick succession.
The prequel was originally intended to take place in Latin America, but my mandatory Vault tie-in™ necessitated this to be moved to Korea; I think they still work together just fine. (And yes, this time the protagonist's gender is supposed to be unclear.)

It is 2 hours before the contest closes and I decide to officially drop out from submitting an article this year. My non-existant time managment finally came around to bite — usually I could have just typed down and SPaG'd that thing completely in the remaining time, but due to certain RL incidents, I don't have the constitution for that.
