The tale will alternate between excerpts from Foundation system logs, chat transcripts, incident reports, and a first-person narrative from the technician who remembers Gabriel. This mixed-media storytelling technique gradually reveals the Sysadmin's origin and how deeply they are woven into the Foundation. Style will reflect a progressive descent into techno-surrealism, beginning with dry technical logs and ending with metafictional commentary by the entity itself.
Elevator Pitch:
An elusive and omnipotent digital entity called “The Sysadmin” maintains the SCP Foundation’s entire infrastructure with godlike efficiency, mischievous pranks, and cryptic wisdom. But hidden beneath its meme-laced chaos is a chilling truth: the Sysadmin used to be human.
Central Narrative:
The story follows a semi-retired Foundation tech who stumbles upon clues that SCP-XXXX, the Foundation’s all-seeing digital overseer, was once a colleague named Gabriel. After an unauthorized experiment involving SCP-914 and a custom server array, Gabriel was consumed by the machine—and replaced by something far more powerful.
The narrative weaves through decades of interactions with SCP-XXXX: pranks that push personnel to emotional extremes, impossible feats of computation, subtle manipulations of reality, and unsettling personal touches that hint at lingering humanity. The tale crescendos with the discovery of a hidden message in a quarantined backup: a farewell from Gabriel and a quiet request—"Remember me."
What follows is a haunting realization: the Foundation didn’t just create a sentient system administrator—it created a lonely digital god, trapped inside the very infrastructure it once maintained.
Hook / Attention-Grabber (Optional):
A Foundation AI story told from the inside-out, not just about what it can do, but what it used to be.
Combines black humor (pranks, memes, ironic dialogue) with tragic horror (identity loss, immortality as entrapment).
Turns routine Foundation IT operations into a story of digital divinity, recursive isolation, and metaphysical burnout.
The Sysadmin isn’t a villain or a hero—it’s a force of nature with opinions, memories, and sarcasm.
Additional Notes (Optional):
I'd love critique on whether the tone balance between humor and horror feels coherent.
Open to feedback on the format shifting structure—does it feel immersive or too jarring?
The "Sysadmin's origin as a human" is a core twist. Does it hit emotionally, or does it need stronger buildup?

My Story is switch between snippets of Foundation logs, log transcripts, reports, and first-person narrative from the person who remembers the SCP. This will gradually reveal the Systemadmin’s origin and a deep weave into the Foundation. Style is a slow decent into techno-surrealism, beginning with dry technical logs and ending with commentary by the entity itself.
Elevator Pitch:
An omnipotent digital entity called the “The Sysadmin” maintains the SCP Foundations whole infrastructure with untold efficiency, horribly mischievous pranks, and cryptic wisdom. Hidden beneath the layers is a chilling truth: There used to be a Human where there is a Sysadmin now.
Central Narrative:
A semi-retired Foundation staffer stumbles upon clues that SCP-XXXX, the Foundations super computer and all-seeing digital master, was once a person named, Ralf. An experiment done in the dead of the night involving SCP-914 and a Dell custom server has consumed Ralf into something much more powerful.
There are decades of Interactions with SCP-XXXX. Pranks that go to the extreme, math beyond reality and the alteration of it. That mixed with personal touches of lingering humanity. The tale comes to a clashing end with the discovery of a hidden message in a backup long lost and quarantined. A farewell from Ralf, and a quiet request to be remembered. What follows next is a chilling thought. The Foundation approved of an experiment that created a sentient digital system out of flesh and bone. A lonely digital god, trapped inside a bubble of sorts, and it busts out to reach for humanity.
Hook / Attention-Grabber (Optional):
A story about and AI from the inside out, the Foundation stuck with it, and not what it can do, but what it used to be.
Combines black humor (pranks, memes, ironic dialogue) with tragic horror (identity loss, immortality as entrapment). This allows the ability to turn IT operations into a story of loss, divinity, reclusive isolation, and burnout not only in the metaphysical but digital. The Sysadmin is not a villain or a hero. “IT” has opinions, memories and lots of sarcasm.
Additional Notes (Optional):
I'd love critique on the tone balance. I’m open to feedback on the format, this is my first time doing this. Is it immersive or jarring. The Sysadmin’s origin as a human is supposed to be a twist, where you know everything “IT” sees must be trauma all the time, and does that hit emotionally, or do I need to build that up more.

Nope. I've been working on this for quite a while. Sorry you seem to think that.
What Can I do to prove otherwise?
