SCP-3241 │ The SS Sommerfeld by The Volgun - Reaction 

I have a distinct feeling this SCP is part of the Broken Masquerade continuity.

The creation and development behind the manufacturing of Scranton Reality Anchors are always shrouded in mystery and secrecy. Some SCPs do talk about it but one belief that I love about them is in SCP 4231. Its a cruel necessary evil but in a way, it makes complete sense on how the anchors work and why some of them fail… You got a tiger sure but just because you hold the chain doesn’t mean it won’t try to bite you too…

15:57 "I love that jaws reference" One thing the SCP Foundation definitely gets right is the mobile taskforce names. They are all brilliant.

Man ain’t seen this one before and I really like the idea of SRA is being balanced out by the fact that if you build more they all get less effective. Cool

This article has always given me vibes of the development history of the Mk. 14 Torpedo in the US Navy. It was a design that was notorious for running too deep and having a faulty magnetic detonator, yet the Bureau of Ordnance would consistently blame all faults on the sailors using them (failure to follow procedure, one might say) and refuse to admit that they had done little to no testing. In the middle of WW2. You can't make this stuff up.

In one SCP I read (I want to say it was SCP-1730, “What happened to Site-13”) the Scranton Reality Anchors were described as dangerous because for every one that failed you needed two more to patch up the damage the failure caused, or something like that. The SRA’s are powerful, but they are not permanent solutions to reality bending problems.

Old Man, while this is an amazing video, you need to go look up the original article. Volgun missed the final entry. The one were it explains one of the 0-5 Council members took the SRA Director from Foundation Custody, put him in a D class Jumpsuit in a room with his latest model of SRA.....and SCP-106.

If the anomalous zone is 12 km and expanding 4 m per day, then it'll reach the 75km exclusion zone in ~43 years.

This one is fucking legendary. Still, imo, my all time favourite Volgun video where he flexes his voice acting capabilities is in his Tufto proposal for the Scarlet King.

One too many SRAs had a runtime error? Oops! Looks like red blood cells are carnivorous now and ionic bonding sometimes just isn't a thing. Good luck!

I'm pretty sure there is a story that isn't about the SRAs, nor how they work (I mean, they are fictional after all), BUT it does tells you what their power source is, or at least a key component, I might be remembering a detail wrong. If you take in that SCP as canon then the good news is that your hypothesis here ain't the case, the bad news is [SPOILER REDACTED]. I'm sure someone else with a better memory can pinpoint you to what I'm talking about, I'm sure The Exploring Series did one or more videos on the subject, and they are great.

Ah, the Incident Fringe.

The SS Sommerfeld is (by most's interpretation) meant to be in the Broken Masquerade canon. And also astoundingly fucked up in multiple ways. There is also a postscript to this SCP. The Old Man gets a fren

And now you know why I don't like reality anchors.

This is unrelated to the video, but I'm a coffee drinker and one thing I've started doing with my coffee that I really like is adding a teaspoon of butter to me coffee. Adds a nice little extra bit of flavor and texture to the coffee, especially since I (mostly) drink my coffee black or with a tiny bit of milk in it to sweeten it up if needed.

All Guardsmen Party is one of the best Only War stories on YT.

One of the great things about this one is that this entire thing is the Foundation’s fault. They created this problem when they put too much faith into the SRAs, and for whatever reason decided not to take all precautions necessary

The one thing this one is missing is what happens to davorne

I smell old mans Navy PTSD

Having been an Operator Qualifications Evaluator for over 3 years, I can tell you in real life the likelihood of Foundation personnel improperly utilizing the SRAs was just as high, if not higher. Scranton's request to have his technicians train Foundation employees was an extremely reasonable request. Having third parties train and qualify employees to operate select equipment, and requalifying them after a certain number of years, is how things are done in the real world.

Oto Island is also where Godzilla is from! 😃.

For some reason I thought this was another SCP(SCP-455 cargo ship) before watching this cause I forgot what the SCP was called.(If you ever get the chance watch Eastside Show SCP's video, I don't think Volgun made a video yet) Nothing like a bunch of people not following directions leading to people pulling their hair over issues

Sure, the SRAs are completely safe--just ask Scranton himself...who you can find in the Red Reality, constantly melting but never dying.

they do all draw from one alternat reality in canon

This really all just sounds like if automotive manufacturers were in charge of nuclear power plants. Just from the stories about Mechanic work one of my professors told, it’s all just engineers with no experience in the practical application of their technology in an echo chamber with stupid business executives.

This action is not supported by the codex asta- necronomic- i mean SRA manual.

So much added value

I JUST NOTICED, IT HAD 6 SRAs!!! DAMMIT NUBBY!!!

A refurbished bit about a refurbished ship 😂

So, are the SRAs failing because of them being less effective the more they are active? or is it the more banal horror of cost saving measures and rushed development of the SRA company?

I'd say "The Areals" is even better than this one

the exploring series has more detailed version

This one is a great lore video
