      It also matches up with the original 7th bride's children. All of the 231-1 to -7 individuals are proxys to the original Seven Brides of the Scarlet King, old goddesses he fathered, controlled and r*ped. The only one of them who wasn't totally broken by him was the 7th, who, differently from her sisters, gave birth to heroes who tried to oppose the Scarlet King. Thus SCP 999 is also a "destined hero", and may be the one to bring down his abomination of a father for good

Kind of the reason they call NC area the home of flight but out in beaver creek Ohio area there is the home of aviation or something. Basically the wreckage was taken to Ohio and put in a bunker and over time they built, built, and built some more and now you have Wright pat Air Force base. You need secret clearance though 😅

      For those absolutely missing the point of OP's comment lol let me explain: he's implying that people are eager to accept that it's a trick to make people fear the procedure and give it power, as opposed to people stubbornly sticking to the fact that if it isn't a trick to contain, it implies the rape of a unconscious pregnant woman, murdering babies, ect. (What the original procedure in detail implied, this telling is the theory that it doesn't and is just reading a story. One I personally defo prefer) Which I mean, I can see the hope in people not being eager about Montauk being more than a trick to inspire fear for containment.

      It's a recurring theme with The Scarlet King. The power level it has is so immense that dealing with it directly is a path to armageddon.
      So, deception and misdirection work better, it has IRL backing, police, military intelligence and business owners all use such tactics to keep someone weak, by making them think they are too powerful to take on, that they can strike whenever they want or that they don't need to be cautious.
      They have already "won", they "don't" need to work for it anymore. Stroke that ego correctly, they will never realise they became complacent.

      Dear Wage Robot.
      Well, the SCP Foundation didn't realize at the time, that the only way to prevent birth was to spread the belief of something horrible and atrociously being done to the girls. SCP-231-1 till SCP-231-6 died exactly described in the SCP-231.
      Quote from the Tale 'Fear Alone'
      "Early on in containment of the 231 subjects we did terrible things to those poor girls. Not as terrible as that, but we were being advised only by a handful of occultists we had been able to capture and extract information from. That was what they had done to contain the demon, and because of that, it's what we had to do. I was not on the project then, and understandably many of those doctors- most of them, in fact, are no longer with us, as are 231-1 through -6. It was because of our failings that they perished, and it was because of their deaths that we realized that we had to do something different."
      Hope it answer your question.

I'm still glad someone took it upon themselves to fix this particularly atrocious part of the story.

    Think about it, much like how scp-999, probably the most wholesome and adorable scp (which, let’s be honest, the bar is remarkably low for that), came from the scarlet king, one of the most evil scp’s we know of (if there’s a tier list ranking the most evil scp’s, he’s b tier at lowest), procedure 110 montauk, which everybody thinks is the most vile procedure the foundation has, turns out to be the only nice procedure I know of, (if there’s any other procedures used to contain scp’s that are actually nice, you’d be hard pressed to find one).
    And considering the 7th bride is what gave birth to scp-999, and scp-999 is meant to one day overpower the scarlet king with wholesomeness and hugs, it all comes full circle and puts a nice bow on the mystery. Very well written.

    We correctly thought this was the nature of Procedure-110 Montauk with the belief that the reason we haven’t heard it on a mega level is that the author couldn’t ever think of something that horrible. After all… how do we make public a plot point so horrible that if we heard about it we’d either be listening to an insane person or go insane ourselves, if not both. But it turns out that that was all according to plan… and the scary thing in the dark wasn’t nearly as horrible as even the dark itself.

But the Fear Alone story, while not _strictly canon_ (everything about the SCP Foundation is ultimately up to individual interpretation), makes it a much more complex and frankly mature story overall, it humanizes the Foundation and its staff a great deal, it’s still _very_ tense, and for those reasons and many others, it’s one of my favorite SCP Tales and I’m very glad it exists.
