Sequentially numbered cyber-tongues. All the tongues are active, writhing, and being operated by machine sprites.


or

The box is alive and made of meta-human meat and bone. There is a slot to input foodstuffs and water to keep it alive.

I'm sorry, but this is brilliant and I simply must steal it.


So, does bad music start playing when the box opens to herald the doom of the pcs?

A completely empty box. No dust, air, light, nothing. But it is not sucking anything in. Anything put in never comes back out. If an appendage is put in it is severed at the point it makes contact with the box's interior volume. There is no pain, and the wound edges are completely clean, though not cauterized. Just an empty box. Cue existential horror.

I've done some reading on that SCP site that was linked earlier. There are a lot of awesome (and horrifying) ideas there. I especially liked the stone statue that can only move when nobody is watching it and strangles people if not watched for a moment (even when just blinking). Put that thing in a box and it scratches on the insides and seems completely non-dangerous when someone opens the box and looks at it. But should they turn away for a moment...

Imagine finding that thing in a box and blinking for a moment just to see the hands of that thing around the neck of your buddy that happened to stand with his back to the box...

... then find a way to destroy it before he suffocates. And don't forget not to blink!

Reminds me of this commercial.

A 'run I ran one week was to kidnap and contain a cybered-out rooster used in underground cockfights so that the owner had to throw a fight. They had damages to the rooster removed from their pay, so they really wanted to keep the thing healthy. It had a cyberspur, a R2 adrenaline gland, and a supgrathyroid gland, in addition to some Dermal Plating IIRC. I have the notecard around here somewhere...

Man, thats nothing. My and my roomate statted warform(or was it chimeric) Spider-Pigs at one point.
I think we gave them webs, rhino horns, and a pack big enough to claim the +8 Pack-net bonus for herd training.

The scary thing is, they're cheap. Herd of fucking tankbusting genepigs, man.

In a like vein, if you ever want to add chimeric armor to a critter, use Greater Roc armor. IIRC it's 9/8. On a dog it only costs like 150 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) .

Udoshi, everything about that post is the scary thing.

You've never seen Bubblegum.

Oh my god, the things Jim did to that poor girl.

One incarnation of her, she was cyberzombied to the max, complete with spider legs and rocket launcher.

Spider-pig, spider-pig, does whatever a spider-pig does...

Seriously though, how high did you have to get the VCS (veterinary cybersurgeon) before he would do that many implants on a fighting fowl?

On a sidenote. This is actually from the show Dr. Who. They are called weeping Angels, because they put their hands in front of their faces, when turning to stone, because if they would see each other, they'd be permantenly locked.

And if you really wanna fuck with your team, simply install loads of micros in the Warehouse, and put up a single desk and nothing else. Now when they enter, the microphones are bound to pick up some names. Have an Agent filter one or two out (preferably from the Team) and then have a simple note appear on the Table "Thank xxx and yyy (Names the Micros picked up) for this betrayal"

They are bound to tear each other apart (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Love Dr. Who. Great Episode.

I would agree with the Weeping Angels thing, except that they only first appeared in Doctor Who a few years ago, and the SCP page does not list when it was created, so it's entirely possible that the SCP page predates the Angels.

I'd rather have a silver credstick with (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) 30 on it, sitting on a pressure sensor linked to the alarm.

That one is even better! I was simply aiming for something that would make them tear each others throats out <.<

I mean... having players kill each other over things that the GM considered a fun joke, teaches them xD

Just last session, he had my (fully buffed) Mystical Adept, get the urge to eviscerate a fellow teammember. (I hate Wendigos)

Now the look on his face (and on the face of the player of the Street Sam), when I said 21 Damage with -3 AP, was priceless.
The one he had after the Steet Sam screwed up the second defense roll (I split attacks and did called shots, to increase his chance of parrying) TWICE
was... well, very amusing.
At least he got an extra 20.000 for the job, that was only fair, after he was 1 overflow box away from final death xD

I found their previous location on another wiki that had a page-creation date in October of 2008.
Asked on their IRC channel people are saying 1 1/2 to 2 years old, so the Weeping Angels from Dr. Who are older.

Edit:
Their site history:
http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-228926/site-history

"Late Summer, 2007" which is still after Dr. Who (aired June 9th, 2007).

Even later edit:
Things you don't want to find:
Giant, flesh eating, dragonflies.

Earliest entries for the SCP date from mid-2008, so Draco is right in that Dr. Who aired first.

They said 173 was dated 07.

That's a misnomer on many levels. Simply taking current creatures and increasing air content and air pressure will cause them to grow to "prehistoric" sizes, assuming you can keep them alive. That's all he proved. It's much the same as back-breeding dogs, not actually cloning animals from fossilized amber blood samples.

And "flesh eating" is a misnomer, as most people would not equate insects to mammalian flesh, which is what the phrase is meant to evoke. We could get into an interesting discussion on nutritional content of foods and how if fruit had the nutritional content it once had, no-one would have to eat meat at all, but that's for some other time I think.

True. All true.
However.
It makes for a great run. Giant dragonflys trying to eat the PCs. X3

Oh absolutely. Especially if it's a grown-like-above garden variety dragonfly that's actually a Hybrid-Form Inhabitation Merge with some fun insect spirit. Or free toxic spirit.

That's SURGE'd.

A box full of 5 1/2" floppies. Labeled: Data ##.

Canister of ball bearings that is broken in such a way that if they move it , it breaks spilling the contents on the floor.

A device with no labels.. on with blinking lights. Ominous looking with lots or red, blue and green wires to cut.

A dead drop for a intercorporate spy

One of those is mean. Two of those are clever. Four of them are amazing.
