scp idea

21:09	Voct	the lagging door is only at 78
21:09	Voct	I'm vaguely disappointed
21:09	Roget	voct that should be higher
21:10	Roget	Also voct I had the genesis of an scp idea at work today
21:10	Roget	so you know how people have cracked phone screens right
21:11	Dr_Noble	Yeah?
21:11	Roget	I was gonne have a crack in the universe, where the other side is some douche who cracked their screen
21:11	Roget	and this side is beyond his phone
21:11	Silber	Roget: sounds like a Doctor Who parody
21:11	Roget	I never watched that show
21:12	Silber	The first season under Stephen Moffat was about a crack in the universe caused by a plot thread he never bothered to resolve
21:12	Athena_Grey	^^ what Silber said
21:12	Silber	(not literally, he's just a sloppy writer)
21:12	Athena_Grey	"cracks in the universe"/"cracks in time"
21:12	Roget	oh well this isn't a crack anywhere
21:12	Huitzil	it's Dr. Who, not resolving it probably made it MORE sensical than what it woulda been otherwise
21:13	Roget	it's in a specific location
21:13	Athena_Grey	that exact phrase/motif
21:13	Dr_Noble	huh, how do they know it's a phone crack?
21:13	Roget	That's going to be the idea I have when I write it
21:13	Roget	I dunno how yet, but that's what it's trying to get across
21:13	Roget	maybe we see the other side, a plastic film is put across
21:13		*** Silber quit (Connection reset by peer)
21:14		*** Scanplayscards is now known as Scantron
21:14	Roget	maybe we see a card saying "UBREAKIFIX"
21:14	Dr_Noble	sometimes a giant finger pokes at it? maybe yells through it?
21:14	Huitzil	there's a giant thumbprint on it
21:14	Athena_Grey	.seen tahunu
21:14	Nala	Athena_Grey: I last saw tahunu at 2013-10-25 06:40:26 PDT (11 h 39 m 28 s ago) saying: ...neck..
21:14	Roget	giant thumbprint works
21:14	Roget	or the alien equivalent thereod
21:14	Roget	thereof
21:15	Dr_Noble	i personally like the idea that at some point, some alien yelled into it, and it was loud enough that something bad happened.
21:15		*** Silber joined #site19
21:15	Roget	I could do that.
21:15	Roget	maybe the phone corresponds to one on earth
21:16	Dr_Noble	what happens when the screen shatters?
21:16	Dr_Noble	im assuming that it just kinda... makes the hole bigger?
21:16	Roget	The phone would suck everything into space
21:17	Roget	through a tiny hole
21:17	Dr_Noble	oh god.
21:17	Dr_Noble	So potential end of the world scenario, is the phone already contained, or not?
21:18		*** Accelerando left #site19
21:18	Roget	the phone is contained after some people get sucked into space
21:18		*** Accelerando joined #site19
21:18	Roget	because that's how we identified the person
21:19	Dr_Noble	ahh, so containment procedures would likely involve pressure suits to interact with it, airtight chamber?
21:19	Roget	yeah
21:20	Roget	nah we'd put it in a pressurized room, and fix the screen
21:20	Roget	and then keep a close eye on it
21:20	Dr_Noble	that's probably a better idea.
21:20	Athena_Grey	how could we fix the screen?
21:20	Dr_Noble	and what would happen if the phone completely exploded.
21:20	Athena_Grey	Don't we risk making things worse cos we don't understand enough?
21:21	Roget	Put it in an environment where it won't suck all the air out
21:21	Dr_Noble	IE fire a missile at it.
21:21	Roget	we understand that "putting a screen on it will stop the portal to space"
21:21	Roget	Dr_Noble phone-shaped anomaly in space
21:21		*** TheGreekOwl quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
21:21	Dr_Noble	right
21:21	Dr_Noble	but seeing as the other end is the phone on earth, what happens if you destroy the one on earth? would it just suck forever and ever?
21:22	Voct	it will suck, yes.
21:22	Roget	that's what I mean, there would be a phone-shaped portal
21:22	Dr_Noble	also, "understand" and "Anomaly" should not be in the same sentence.
21:22	Dr_Noble	we understand what it does, but not how or why
21:23	RMLux	So, I just finished 'East of Eden'.
21:23	RMLux	John Steinbeck.
21:23	RMLux	That was a great book.

21:23	Roget	Voct do you think this idea is worth writing up?
