SCP Foundation

My third SCP. Many thanks to Dr_Hexagon, BladeEmbrace and No0n3Left in the chat, as well as LadyKatie in the forum for their feedback.

EDIT: Oh, almost forgot- the picture is from here. Creative commons license. Although I'll be editing as soon as I can find a commons-license picture that looks more like a Safavid caravanserai, rather than a religious school…

EDIT AGAIN: I have altered the image used. It is now from here, and is public domain.

Interesting SCP. +1

I have one question though. Why is it Thaumiel? Perhaps I am missing something but it doesn't really aid the Foundation in locating or containing other SCPs.

Can't say why, but I love this. +1
Only one quibble: if it's imperceptible except to those who activate it, how can they take pictures?

Spelling error here: "SCP-3150 is inhabited by a male humam"

This has a very strong sense of culture, as much as time, or place. I rather like the plethora of people you populated the interviews with. :)

This is really good, I really enjoyed reading it. Great concept and execution, and the dialogue is well-done and doesn't appear forced. I also like the reference to the Scarlet King.

The only problem I have with this is, I wanted to write this exact thing but in the form of a small town in the American Southwest. And honestly, a caravanserai that involves ORIA and the Red Shah¹ is way better than my idea of a diner with really good pie and oh, by the way, the proprietor is a minor deity.

All around, awesome. GG, author.

While the interviews are nicely done and well executed, the excuse that made this article Thaumiel feels too tacked on and it does not really come into play for the article. In fact, the Sadra Initiative's absence will likely not really change the interviews and words of the people inside.

I don't know what feeling I get from this article, but whatever it is I love it. Calling the Scarlet King the Red Shah was a nice touch (and is now my favorite name for him), and there are some cool implications as to who -2 is/was.

+1

I loved this one, it was well written and the implications of it are pretty neat. Love me some Scarlet King.

I do have one, fairly major quibble with it that others have mentioned previously — I feel it does not need to be classified as Thaumiel. I of course don't mean this takes away the quality of the article, but from my understanding of the Item classes, this doesn't really need a Thaumiel rating, and could be perfectly fine within the Safe class. I only say this because of my (and I feel others) personal perceptions of Thaumiel. In my mind, Thaumiel describes something huge and immense, articles whose very existence has a major impact on human civilization as a whole (like SCP-2000 or SCP-3000). I don't really conceive of Thaumiel as a class that can be applied to any SCP that aids in the maintenance/capture of other dangerous SCPs (although admittedly I can't name one off the top of my head, I feel like there are plenty of SCPs in other classes that help the Foundation with dangerous SCPs but still deserve their class ratings). Thaumiel to me is something mind-bending and mind-fucky, not something that just helps the Foundation in some form, as cool as this is.

I may sound extremely critical from that paragraph, but honestly, I still loved this article. +1, great job. Needs more publicity.
