Amnestics, SCps,.....and a little help?
Posted: Sat Nov 14, 2015 5:54 pm
Something I'm wondering in terms of the SCP foundation; not in SCP containment breach, but rather the wiki; is what the heck the deal is when it comes to amnestics.
I get that there's a lot of tiffs about what term to use "amnesiac or amnestic", and that there are multiple classes and strengths to them. I also know that it depends on the individual authors writing their head cannons which level does what. Sometimes Class A is the strongest. But for another writer its the weakest in their own headcannon.
I've looked on the wiki at the guide/list of class amnesitcs. If I'm not mistaken the classes were: A, B, C, D, E, and F. And according to the guide, E and F were the extremes in the amnestics. Used to completely wipe and reprogram someone. But what I'm trying to figure out is how they are administered?
For example. Class E amnestics are described as being administered by "injection--multiple stage doses via IV."
But what exactly does that mean? Do they mean that doing it in specific time intervals when they say multiple? Or do they mean that there are multiple IVs instead of just one whilst administering? Or both?
One thing that peeks my interest though especially when it comes to amnestics is Class F. Again it is administered in 'multiple stage doses by IV.' But it is also involves 'psychotropics in conconjunction with Visual/Audio stimuli--based on subjects original psyche and the resulting fabricated identity.' As well as electro convulsive therapy (yikes!).
But the part that interests me about Class F is not only is it in experimental stage in terms of use, but that supposedly there is possible consideration on using them on An SCP itself. It is considered, supposedly a more passive and safer alternative to physical containment when administered to an especially unruly SCP that would otherwise be terminated because of it being too hard to contain.
THAT'S what intrigues me. It even helped give me an idea for a fanfiction. .... which....I'm kinda hoping someone might be able to give me a little pointers on regarding a couple things, like the containment procedure of the SCP in my story. I'm not really all the good at that particular part.
I had a "What if?"/crossover scenario idea for the story and I decided to cross SCP with one of my favorite characters I'm big on lately (I'm kinda going through a phase), Sonic the hedgehog. And I'm not gunning for the creepypasta Sonic EXE when I say that. I was thinking more along the lines of Normal Sonic. Most specifically the "Sonic X" tv show variation of him. But.....how does one "Contain" someone/thing with his abilities? What kind of structure or measures would have to be taken?
That's where I don't begin to know. I'm not sure what's what regarding weapons, metals and alloy structures and other similar factors and what would be strong enough to hold him. A little help on that, please? If you can.
Other than Sonic though, haven't you ever wondered what some of your favorite characters, especially ones with abilities, from other franchieses would do or how the foundation would "keep them contained" if they got a hold of them?
Regarding the whole "is it Amnestic or amnesiac" thing though as I mentioned earlier, I think the whole argument is pointless. It's so obvious. Amnestic is the drug administered. And Amnesiac is the person/subject to whom it was administered to. Why even argue it? Even when drugs aren't involved and someone has an accident and loses their memory, they are called Amnesiacs. Simply put, people with Amnesia. I don't understand what there is to argue about on it on that flippin' wiki page.
Anyways, rant aside. Thoughts, anyone? If possible, maybe a little suggestion or 2 for my story idea?
