Malice's "Department of Temporal Anomalies" Stuff
The plan:
- [✓] SCP-3176: Estimated Time of Arrival
- [✓] Conservation of Bullshit
- [X] Protocol "Tangential Citrus"
- [X] d(dt/dτ)/dt
- [X] Rebriefing
- [X] Killing Then
- [X] Intermission Impossible
- [X] A TAD Offensive
- [X] Objectively Classless
- [X] Everywhence
- [X] The Life of Your Time
The main story stuff:
- SCP-3176 ("Estimated Time of Arrival")
- Can be used for the "Kairos" object class
- Establishing work for Alice Forth, cements use of temporal anomalies
- See here
- Status: [COMPLETED]
- "Conservation of Bullshit"
- Establishing work for Agent Richard 'Dick' Miguel
- Pre-hiring retirement plan
- See here
- Status: [COMPLETED]
- "Protocol: "Tangential Citrus""
- Set in a pleasant cafe
- Agent Dick Miguel talks to his colleague Jorge Marquez about why he always carries a tangerine
- End it with something humorous and citrus-related
- Status: [NOT YET STARTED]
- "Rebriefing"
- Set mainly in the Diner Out Of Time
- Forth pulling Miguel out of retirement to do… something
- Sneaks him the Fataliser, an anomaly designed to prevent him dying by making him die until he doesn't.
- Explains the DoTA/TAD discrepancy
- Status: [NOT YET STARTED]
- "Killing Then"
- Jack the Ripper is actually an anomalous entity with extremely weird properties
- Used by the DoTA to acquire D-Class
- Maybe a separate tale in which the TAD try to neutralise him, but Forth steps in and yanks him out of time, much to Xyank's consternation?
- This is going to be "A TAD Offensive"
- Titanic!
- Status: [NOT YET STARTED]
- "Objectively Classless"
- Forth travels back to create a new object class, in order to stop people interfering with DoTA stuff
- Follow it up by altering already created articles to contain the "Kairos" object class
- See if I can get other authors on board with the idea
- Don't post until there are at least 4 or 5 applicable articles
- Postscript hints at finale?
- Status: [NOT YET STARTED]
- "The Life of Your Time"
- Everything is fine until it isn't, and then it always was
- Finale
- Epilogue — Xyank in the Diner
- Status: [NOT YET STARTED]
Stuff not part of the main story:
- SCP-XXXX ("Unwalking Through Backwards")
- Man who experiences time in reverse, eventually walks into/out of the basement of a house, where an experiment is being conducted on his pre-anomaly self
- No relation to main 'plot' events aside from showcasing the department
- Can be used for the "Kairos" object class
- Status: [PENDING REWRITE]
- SCP-XXXX ("The Long Way Round")
- DoTA stopping an event by outliving the end of the universe and swinging back round
- Keep missing slightly, homing in each time
- Can be used for the "Kairos" object class
- See here
- Status: [READY TO POST]
- SCP-XXXX ("The 90s Called…")
- The big one. See here
- Kairos, obviously.
- Status: [PENDING REWRITE]
Other people's stuff that I can use for my own nefarious purposes:
- SCP-3797 ("The Once and Future Gun")
- Talk to stormbreath about changing the object class. No-go, unless the class becomes super-popular.
- Still a good example of the use of anomalous time-tech
- SCP-711 ("Paradoxical Insurance Policy")
- Probably not going to ask for any edits, given that it's literally rated higher than my top three scips combined
- Talk to Photosynthetic if I get a good idea involving it, for politeness' sake
- SCP-3577 ("Pack to the Future")
- Kairos wouldn't be appropriate here anyway
- It's a cool scip though, so try and include a cameo somewhere
- SCP-3780 ("Who Shot J.F.K.")
Vague ideas and meandering musings:
- The DoTA and the TAD (as mentioned in SCP-1780) are from different timelines, with almost identical purposes
- Debriefing of Miguel could work for this purpose? — See "Rebriefing"
- There are two parallel timelines, and they intersect and cross over at multiple points, generally messing things up — this is the primary 'antagonist' of the series?
- DoTA handle past/future shifting/changing while TAD handles loops and branches
- Some kind of device that retroactively changes how time travel itself works
- Research different theories/models?
- The Fataliser: A device that lets you die, pulls you out of the past, then sandwiches the two together, meaning that when the death happens you're protected by your own corpse.
