SCP Foundation

This might be a bit too obscure, but I decided to make a crossover between the Foundation and the game series Marathon. Basically, the Foundation knows about Durandal, the meta-stable Rampant AI, and Durandal took it upon himself to 'improve' the SCP page about him.

EDIT: Rampancy causes meta-stability, not meta-table.

Upvoted because I FUCKING LOVE MARATHON.

This is creeping dangerously close to headcanon.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE.

Maybe it's just me, but this doesn't quite come across as Durandal to me.

You're familiar with the Marathon Story Page (marathon.bungie.org/story), right? Compare the style of this with the style of the terminals which Durandal leaves messages on, see if it's consistently matching in style.

I don't know anything about Marathon or Durandal, but this was still immensely entertaining to read.

Works well enough even if one doesn't realize it's a crossover, with the possible exception of the name of the guy who designed it (which I assume is a direct Marathon reference?).

I initially thought this was a tale with SCP-732, which has previously demonstrated the ability to speak however it wants to (using netspeak or whatever you want to call it as its calling card because it finds it amusing). Which drove me crazy, because that was what I wanted to do.

But upvoted either way. And I vaguely remember Marathon, even though I haven't played it any time this century.

Oh Marathon, how I miss that game. Knew I recognized the overall style, at first was thinking GLADoS but then the whole space thing kicked in, didn't actually make the Marathon connection till reading the discussion.

Well written, anyway.

Too many gratuitous lolFoundation references. This would be an all-around better piece if you cut most or all of them. Yes, I know you can justify them, but it's bad writing and frankly kind of annoying.

Otherwise, I like this, found it entertaining, and appreciate the choice of Marathon for crossover. +1'ed.

(For anyone who doesn't know, Marathon was the game series created by Bungie before they created Halo, and boasts quite the fascinating story. I'd link to the story, but it's already been done above!)
