What if Stars are Actually Exploding D-Class? - SCP-2193 - Monthly Termination 

Congratulations, you now work for the SCP Foundation. Hand over your morals.

Whats great about this scp is that its a semi 4th wall break/meta commentary. The monthly termination used to be canon but the writers actually realized how illogical and against the foundation's ethics the executions were...as well as being a massive waste of resources

This has gotta be one of the most horrifying thumbnails the channel has ever had. Love it

Am I the only one that remembers the fact that D-class are also selected from missing people? There are innocent people in there, just ones people wouldn't question.

This one is definitely unique amongst the Foundation stories. An in depth investigation is definitely required

I think it targets D-class as they are the easiest way for its memetic abilities to take hold. The foundation workers already hold them in contempt so by targeting these expendables it is less mental readjustment that needs to be done.

“Imagine getting sent into space lol” -Dr. Bright, probably

This apathy and disassociation happens to a lot of foundation employees, most notably with the older researchers and administration staff. Staff turn over is high in certain departments, you are considered lucky if you survive your first year as junior researcher. The juniors are there to learn from the more senior staff and possibly replace them if the Senior is getting too old or no longer needed. With that in mind, Juniors often parish in dangerous experiments. It happened so often in the past, not only the experiments with the D-class and the high casualty rates in the MTFs and Security forces that the older foundation Staff who survived are often Psychologically effected in different ways. (Ie: Dr. Jack Bright & Dr. Crow respectively.)

This is why anti-memetic training should NOT be an optional part of staff capacitation. Simon and his colleagues will get special attention of SCP-4973.

This is a great way of retconning the old school monthly terminations that used to be part of SCP lore in a way that makes perfect sense in-universe.

Monthly termination sounds like a HUGE Infohazard.

How about instead of trying to detect the memetic hazard, alter the data digitization process to not use monthly termination in any order and alter all current documents with the word combination. Finally have any file flagged when the document is altered with these set words and then immediately alter it.

0:10 Something tells me that Clef would sound like a frickin drill sergeant...

Considering the corrupt nature of justice systems, a fair few of those D class are innocent people, convicted out of convenience, malicious intent, or simple laziness.

I just found out about these stories and I love em, I would love to see comics for each one of them and even stories for the d class, scientists and people who work for the scp

I purely clicked for the "D-Class got ganked" thumbnail But seeing it was an SCP Explained video made it even better

And interesting way to explain the old references to monthly terminations of D-class.

Security: Tonight, you gonna be a star D-class: Oh boy...

Now have fun realizing any and all SCP files you've read with that monthly termination statement in there was completely believed by you until you watched this.

What makes D class worse is that some of them are definitely innocent

You guys out here keeping people entertained good work

Weird. The monthly termination phrase still appears on the SCP-871 page even though I saw it weeks earlier.

On a platform where content is harder and harder to originally create, scp videos take the crown for having never ending original content 😂

Even though most D-Class are criminals, you can't help but feel sorry for them, unless they're unrepentant in what they've done, like with D-3826 from SCP-1034. Day 348 of asking the O5 Council to use SCP-1968 to create a universe in which 682 doesn't exist.

2:03 i like that new desing for 106

Dr Bright will definitely enjoy this marvelous sight

The visuals on these illustrations for the videos before clicking on the video itself is phenomenal! 😧🤯

People tend to forget that some D-Class are actually random people just pulled off the street. They're the ones you should feel sorry for.

“What if the stars are actually exploded D Class” And the universe is a tree, wait a minute…

they were all syncronized because the animator didn't want to animate them individually. very smart

Don't be ridiculous: there are way too many stars for all of them to be D-Class.

At first reading that title I thought it was going to be SCP-727-J. Basically exploding D-Class.

Can we get a lore story on the sun anomaly with those symbols? Its my favorite episode and i would love to see an expansion on it.

Nice work, once again!

SCP 2193 sounds like a job for MTF Omega-0, Ará Orún.

SCP-2193 Object Class: Keter Special Containment Procedures: The Artificial Intelligence Applications Division (AIAD) is to monitor the Foundation database for instances of SCP-2193-1. The instances are to be logged and removed, and the holding Site's (if applicable) personnel will require amnestic therapy. Provisional Site-███ and Observation Site-██ are to be exempted from this procedure, in order to facilitate observation of the phenomena. Contact with these Sites at any level (whether through in-person visits, or simply phone/email communication) is restricted, to prevent further contamination of Mission-Critical Sites. Description: SCP-2193-1 is an infohazardous anomaly affecting the documentation for items and entities in the Foundation database. It often appears in the object's Special Containment Procedures or addenda, and references an operation referred to as the 'Monthly Termination' of Class-D personnel. No evidence for the initial adoption or implementation of such a policy exists in any Foundation records, as verified by a RAISA investigation into all prior O5/Administrator mandates and SDECotW resolutions. SCP-2193-1 is automatically inserted into a random digital SCP slot at irregular intervals. The method by which it is generated is unknown. Individuals who are exposed to SCP-2193-1 are subjected to a memetic effect, wherein they fully believe the Monthly Termination of Class-D personnel to be a valid Foundation operation. This belief can be easily spread through any and all forms of communication solely by containing the phrase 'Monthly Termination'. Uninfected personnel that possess doubt or suspicion are able to be overcome with simple rhetoric supporting the policy. The infected continue to operate as if SCP-2193 has always been a Foundation-held policy, and there is a noted lack of cognitive dissonance when presented with conflicting information. Aside from the excessive expenditure of Class-D personnel, Sites and individuals infected are able to perform their duties exceptionally, and without undue complications. The first known document to host SCP-2193-1, SCP-███; has been removed from the database, and is undergoing review from the Foundation Counterconceptual Division. No internal documentation or instructions exist that detail the actual termination process. Regardless, infected individuals and departments operate and 'terminate' Class-D personnel in a uniform manner. Remote observation of Sites ███ and ███, as well as security footage from affected Sites prior to SCP-2193's discovery have revealed the 'Monthly Termination' process: On the final day of the month, testing is suspended on any SCPs which would involve Class-D testing. Approximately one third of the Site's resident Class-D population will stand facing their cell doors.2 A sufficient detachment of security personnel will arrive to escort the Class-D in a single-file line throughout the facility. Though the guards will be armed, no restraints are placed on the Class-D. Researchers, Level 0, and other personnel not directly involved in the process will avoid the path the officers/Class-D follow. This is perfectly choreographed, despite the lack of planning/forewarning. The Class-D will be led to a point outside the facility, and taken to an area that is not covered by surveillance systems.3 Sub-dermal tracking implants on the Class-D cease function. The security guards return to the facility. The officers will claim to have terminated the Class-D via their sidearms.4 Recovery: SCP-2193 was discovered on 10/31/1994, by AIAD PROJECT: CORINTHIAN (aka: "Glacon"), after its initial upload to Site-17. The Site was undergoing an SCP-2193 event, which the AI observed through the surveillance system. It attempted to contact then-Site Director J. O███████, as the AI interpreted the procedure as illogical, and without precedent. Its communications were disregarded. The AI correctly deduced the presence of a memetic effect. It began the process of removing SCP-2193-1 throughout the Site's backup digital files, as well as every entry of the main database accessible by Site-17 personnel. It completed the process before the D-Class had been removed from their cells, and disabled the doors' electronic locks. Dietrich M. Lurk was contacted by Site-17 Security Chief, who requested his assistance in disabling the AI's system override. D. Lurk investigated the situation, and finding the AI to be acting in accordance Standard Principles, instead alerted MTF Eta-10 ("See No Evil"). Site-17, along with twelve other Sites had to be quarantined, with their corresponding records wiped of SCP-2193-1. Provisional Site-███ and Observation Site-██ were exempted for testing purposes. Addendum: Incident Log 2193/███ Foreword: On 01/31/1999 at 01:30, Provisional Site-███ underwent an SCP-2193 event. During the transport of Class-D, behavioral changes were noted in both the detainees and the guards. The Class-D repeatedly expressed concern over their fate, while the guards apologized profusely. The following is an excerpt taken from Agent Ysson's head cam as the event reached its conclusion 01:59:23: The group approaches a rounded clearing in the woods 2km South of the Site. 02:01:46: The Class-D continue directly towards the clearing's center. The guards branch out, and form a ring around the group. This formation is congruous with previous observations. 02:04:32: The guards around the Class-D's perimeter turn away from the group and obscure their head cams, excluding Agent Ysson. Agent Ysson: [Indecipherable due to sudden interference, presumably 'Not']"…again" 02:05:05: D-1920 lifts vertically, and hovers in place .3 meters off the ground. 02:05:09: D-1920 continues upward, at an estimated speed of 35,000 km/hr. D-1823 begins to hover. 02:05:12-02:06:58: This process repeats for each present Class-D.5 They are taken individually. 02:06:58: Agent Ysson watches the final Class-D depart, and fixates on the full moon. 02:07:33: The moon appears to 'blink'.6 02:07:35: Agent Ysson begins to run. In the background, the other guards can be seen remaining in their position. 02:07:39: Agent Ysson is lifted in a manner similar to the Class-D. 02:07:41: Camera feed cuts as the Agent reaches the stratosphere. Afterword: Under questioning, the guards asserted that Agent Ysson had been attacked by the Class-D, and that he had been killed in the resulting altercation.

The worst part of the exp universe is remembering every government on earth has got it wrong at least once. That person was innocent.😔

Another great video.

Could you guys do a video on D-9431 A former researcher that studied a phenomenon known as The Spiral Gestalt. A anomaly so restricted for someone of his clearance that he was demoted to D-Class personal. Also talk about his ability of "save" and "reload"

I love your videos!

Thank you for the video.

The dilemma with this is only a AI system with high level of access can detect and use resources to stop it. But would need to prevent humans from interfering not even O5 council. So no oversight.

A question we've all asked ourselves from time to time, no doubt.

Monthly termination is still Canon to me. Always liked how they'd give the Class-D's false hope at the chance of "going home" only to get led behind a shed at the end of the month, if they even survive that long anyway.

And crazily enough string theory actually dictates that in the multiverse, a SCP universe is actually easily possible

Wait, if monthly termination isn't a real thing, how is SCP 2439 contained?

Honestly the title card sold it for me “D class got ganked” lmfaoooooo

Probably just Dr Bright pranking people with an infohazard

I like Dr. Bob better, there’s never been a more official sounding SCP representative then his channel. His scientific explanation plus the proper sentences using scientific terminology makes it all the more awesome.

I love the scp channel!

I am glad that the monthly terminations were classified as an SCP in this universe, and that some of the universes don’t have it. I know the SCP wiki doesn’t have a classified canon, which is good because it allows some versions to be more humane.

this channel is awesome

Me when reading the title: I don’t need sleep I need answers

I always thought that the Termination requirement was already a waste of resources. Let alone, we're already well aware that most D Class are far from death row inmates

Love it

Random thought, What would happen if Dr. Bright filled Dr. Clef's buckshot with stale candy corn?

All of this to retcon old lore by not retconning it. Love it!

Can we pretend D class in the night sky are like shooting stars?

Nice

Imagine if they really were exploding d-class

I suspect that all the guards used to be D class but managed to survive enough tests to be deemed useful, had their memories wiped, and entered into the MTF program.

Was that a new SCP-106 rig? 👀

I had a nightmare I was a D-class, SCP 173 breached containment and I saved the sight director, then we trapped 173 and he thanked me we walked to some sort of testing chamber were I met to guys in coats the guys looked frustrated about something saying they needed samples then one of them looked at me, saying "Look you know what you signed up for when you came a D-class right ?", I nodded then he picked up a scissors wanting to take flesh from my neck, I backed away pleading with them not to do it they just smiled I ran but he reminded me if I ran they'd just terminate me, I felt trapped, it felt so real, I ran anyway then I woke up...

“What if stars are just stars?”

Cool

I was rewatching star trek voyager and I believe starfleet section 31 is a SCP site director with the Maquis are like D-class personal!

First also that scene u used at 1:54 that’s from scp 5000 I love how u reuse stuff

I can’t believe I’m only realizing it now but all those cute stories with 999 interacting with class d are with possible mass murderers

If the SCP foundation Is post to be secret how are so many people recruited

Very cool title

Love! Question can you do a video in SCP-REDD?

So it's a genjutsu that's cast using the moon, like the Infinite Tsukuyomi

Ngl this was an interesting SCP.

I love how this reminds me of Local 58 tbh

Ok, so today we will show this horrifying video to everyone including kids! YAY!

I like the idea of an SCP whose goal is to rid the world of those who have wronged others.

some of the sacrifices the foundation does is truly unforgivable. not all of them are horrible people. things are not black and white. just because someone did something bad doesn't mean there is no good in them. then you have even worse situations like SCP 974...

Vale que los clase D son personas que se merecen lo peor... Pero esto es muy heavy... Mandarles al espacio?? Tíos, os habéis pasado.. 😱😱

"D-Class got Ganked" wins thumbnail art of the year

I just want to say I love the redesign of the old man.

Imagine if there is an SCP out there that actually influences certain members of society to commit unspeakable crimes. This SCP might be the reason why the SCP FOUNDATION has a nearly endless supply of D-class personal. This could explain why the SCP FOUNDATION doesn't care what happens to any of the D-class personal. Just a thought

12:26 that is a little easter egg for damn sure.

Couldn’t some D-Class’s be framed for their crimes or have been under the effects of an scp

Good place to remind people there are multiple cannons. If you don't like this, you don't have to accept it.

I like the background music

0:03 of course Clef said it, he had a child with a literal goddess!

9:05 the guard on the left was pretending to shoot a d-class with a finger gun lol.

When the d class started levitating I laughed so hard, they really just went weeeeeeee

Are those new helmets? Nice

1:45 a man produces a knife, uses it on the woman and the stab sound is *bonk* lol

Will you pls do a video on SCP - 046 CZ?

Hold up, was that a redesign of 106 that looks accurate to the picture with the file?

Okay cool SCP story

Can you do Kumagawa Misogi vs 682, I'm pretty sure he might be the only character to actually kill him. He has All Fiction, which could erase his ability to adapt and evolve. Book Maker, which could seal his abilities away and make him normal And imagination manifestation, which could allow him to create whatever weapon he could imagine.

Plot twist: it’s just another case of mass hysteria

"The greater good, the greater good, the greater good" "Shut It!"

... soooooo .... when is the Foundation going to give the Lizard a D-Class rank, to see if they can terminate him by launching him into space ? 🤷‍♂

This is only a suggestion but what if you use the desire camera?

If stars are exploding D-class and the sun is a star the sun is a D-class witch means that when day breaks is revenge from D-class

And I still hadn't seen a gank on top for over 2 months
