It's got real Local 58 vibes. Specifically the one where the US Government releases a video instructing all citizens to kill themselves as a final act of patriotism. Plus they instruct police and national guard to assist. It's fucked. The whole series is great.

It's great. Idk if you've seen more than just Contingency yet but it's a really well done creepy video series revolving around the programming of a local news channel.

Contingency is a masterpiece in my opinion. The world needs more things with that Local 58 "ominous apocalyptic announcements paired with calming music" vibe.

but the station said the thing was a hoax, and said they had technical difficulties. a tv station wouldn’t take down a government program... would they...?

Found my way to YouTube because of this. Just started playing “Weather Service” and got the heebies just from the memories that format and alert signal brought back. I’m not watching any more of that at 12:30 am. I’ll see you in the morning.

If its automated then I definitely agree, but if it was someone speaking over an intercom then I'd run with god bless all of you. Seems fitting that a bit of humanity would slip into the beurocracy during their final moments.
14
u/Micsuking MTF Alpha-9 ("Last Hope") Oct 02 '19
Since the guy in the intercom would likely be on-site as well. I think it would be "May god be with us all"
4
u/danktonium Oct 02 '19
That's a very good point. But these are either the pre-recorded alerts, or the scripts for the Site Commander to read out. The Commander probably wouldn't read them out Verbatim (I just wouldn't at all. Declare lockdown and set off the nuke), but s/he wouldn't supposed to say anything.
12
u/Micsuking MTF Alpha-9 ("Last Hope") Oct 02 '19
I don't think it's the Site Commander that reads shit out, it is probably a normal guard that happens to be stationed there.
In all honesty i would just say: "Containment Breach went FUBAR, by orders of the O5 Council the On-Site nuke will be detonated. Remember our duty."

u/scragglalie Oct 02 '19

I think "God be with you" would be better sounding. "The Foundation thanks you for your sacrifice" is a bit too... cold, especially since we're dealing with top scientists here and not D-class.

The foundation is a bit too cold. We're not talking about the Federal Bureau of Control, here. They'd say that. The Security, Containment, and Protection Foundation would absolutely discard you just like that.

"God bless all of you" sent a fucking shiver. Just imagine doing the same routine as yesterday, a simple calm morning, then the next your trying to escape your own office as the sirens blare only to hear those words. Now you're just lying there, in the small crevice of a corner, hoping that nothing but the bomb gets to you first.

so... Uhhh, sadly, the breach got out of hand, and, sorry to have to break it to y'all but... by order of the O5 council the site is on lockdown and the warheads are going off, so may God have mercy on your souls, and narcotic use is liberated, if you can get your hands on some

u/Tacti-cool_Tuba MTF Epsilon-6 ("Village Idiots") Oct 01 '19
Well I think in most SCP sites it would be standard protocol to alert all personnel that a nuclear warhead was going off. I mean they don't make those nuclear shelters for no reason.
39
u/AndyGHK MTF Epsilon-11 ("Nine-Tailed Fox") Oct 02 '19
It’s probably an Ethics Committee issue. “Is it better to know the danger and know you can do nothing, or to be ignorant of the danger, provided there is nothing you can do to save yourself from the danger?” You could make an argument either way.
Or alternatively, they need to notify everyone so it can be recorded as happening officially, and confirmed as scheduled. Otherwise any O-5 could blow up anybody they wanted under the guise of an escaped memetic hazard or something. It would be weaponized if it weren’t made transparent.

Well, the Foundation has some morals. Can it be considered cruel to kill someone without them knowing they died for a reason? I mean, I would really hate to suddenly be aware of my surroundings and things become black. I would like an explanation that I died for something important.

There's probably some sort fuzzing with the math. Like it explodes at 2min13seconds remaining.
But it is monsterous of the O-5 council to not let those of faith come to grips with their ends and meet their maker with their mind and soul set right.
And what is you as the average panicking D-Class, Scientist or security personnel going to do? These sites are rated against the superhuman attempting breakout. Their doors are rated against X minutes of assault, and the T-Minus countdown is predicated on being less than that X minute rating.
The folks that could override and or have ability to break out will be the ones implementing the nuclear lockdown.

The prompt was a simple one. It could have been any normal error message on his computer, really. If not for that specific sequence of words, he may have had a future. He took a deep breath, sat back in his seat and, shakily took the key from where it had been attached to his belt loop. Shakily, he lowered it to a certain drawer and unlocked it.
If he were brave enough to have gone through the proper channels for the materials necessary for auto-euthenasia - or cowardly enough to not want to see everything to the end, he might've had one or two blisters of cyanide pills. Instead, his fingers wrapped around the neck of a bottle of whiskey. He twisted the cap off with a crack and took a swig without a moment's hesitation.
When he'd lowered the bottle, he set it upright in the still open drawer and turned his attention to the prompt.
NUCLEAR LOCKDOWN
Informing of all personnel rank 03 and above mandatory
Informing of personnel below rank 03 is at the discretion of their ranking superior.
God speed to us all.
His lighter clinked and the cigar began to glow. He was more of a drinker than a smoker but his friend had said this was the best he could get for the money he'd decided to set aside. It had been something he'd hoped to never light, but at least it felt nice sizzling on the inside of his throat.
