...odd to see characters I created being used by someone on LessWrong, and references to my stories to boot.
I liked the surprises scattered throughout the dataset - which, for the curious, can be pretty easily identified by just scrolling through and noting which lines stand out.
woah info hidden behind a blackbox this is just like scp again
also I think MC&D has stolen a few items before they got their designations, and that the rows are in order of execution—which, when time travel is possible, is not necessarily temporal order.
also “We would prefer to acquire, oh, say, the magical pills that can cure any illness” marshall you haven’t tried to get SCP-500 since 1927, and I know that one’s canon in this puzzle because SCP-682 is also very conspicuously missing from the dataset
I don’t know what parts of it specifically you’ve written, but yes, I’ve gleefully stolen leveraged a lot of things from the SCP wiki and related works in writing this. Thank you for your assistance!
I wrote the wiki’s MC&D hub, designed the modern MC&D logo, and coined the given names that you used here during a contest back in 2014. Thank you for making the puzzle—I have found some interesting things so far!
Such as the virtual predatory organic-mechanical mobile replicating humanoid locations, which are for sure accurate representations of the real world and are definitely not infohazardous, since the data said it wasn’t.
Within the SCP canon, ‘MC&D’ is ‘Marshall, Carter & Dark,’ start e.g. here. I’ve tried to be faithful to the image in the story above—a quick summary would be ‘very rich, very upper-class, and very very capitalist people who want to use SCP objects as things to sell to the rich and powerful.’ Start with investment bankers, as they are envisaged by the far left, and then throw in a dash of SCP stuff.
If you want a few things to read, my recommendations for the short things you can read that are most MC&D-ish in my head are:

What’s MC&D, and where can it be found?

https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-604 (trigger warning: yes)

In that case this is the closest I’ll ever be to interacting with a celebrity, that’s awesome. I love MC&D.
