SCP Foundation

Maybe you should mention the loudspeaker speaks and whatnot in the beginning.

So this has been sitting in the sandbox for a little over a month. I heard something similar to this was done and downvoted but… I liked the idea, so here's my spin on it.

Note: Please ask me before tagging this. I don't want it implied it's a sculpture or bomb.

I love the ambiguity here.

SCP-1286: But that’s what I’m supposed to do! I’m a bomb; I can feel it in my core, I mean, there… my… trigger, it's cold but it could be warm if I just… flicked it.

I love this line SO MUCH. I want to have line babies with it.

I can't even tell if this should be a -J or not. This is just really funny.

Ha ha haaaaa. Ever since we lost the old Demon Core SCP I have really wanted to see a bomb that wants to explode. I love this.

although researchers are not sure as to whether or not this effect is memetic or due to SCP-1286s apparent nature.

That is not an either or situation. If they think SCP-1286 might explode because it looks and acts like a bomb, that is a memetic effect, just a completely natural one. Testing whether or not it is a memetic anomaly by using un-briefed personnel would be the right way to figure out if it is "supernaturally" memetic or not though. The less someone knows about the thing, the less assumptions they can jump to as a result. In my imagination the Foundation would use the term memetic more to describe anomalous properties rather than mundane ones though so I don't really think any wording necessarily needs to be changed here.

I love this

This is brilliant.

The flow is a little weird, particularly going straight into paragraph two of the description (Wait, it talks???), but it's a decent piece.

You, sir, are one of the few authors here that can combine dry humour and a serious story to create something awesome beyond measure.

Dr. Sanders: Yes, you appear to be an atomic bomb.
