PCG: OUR GENESIS FROG NEEDED THE GENES FROM THAT FINAL FROG.

PCG: BUT BECAUSE I WAS IN TOO MUCH OF A HURRY TO DO THE JOB RIGHT

PCG: HE'S MISSING A CRITICAL SEQUENCE IN HIS DNA.

Oh, fuck me running. I know what that thing is.

That’s Jack’s tentacle attack.

He’s actually doing it. Somehow somewhere, he’s squeezing the life out of the greatest frog of all.

But how? The only Genesis Frog he has access to is Jade's! It would have been bad enough if he'd executed her tadpole - but no, he's gunning for the fully-grown universe created by Kanaya!

SCP Aesthetic: 4007 (requested by anon, written by Wei Zhong)

Science is the vehicle by which man attains mastery over nature. To impose one's will on nature, to showcase the superiority that we know we have been given, and to push the boundaries of what is possible; these are the rites by which science shows us the way. (red/black, shadows, war)

Blue bursts of hot young stars

This image, speckled with blue, white, and yellow light, shows part of the spiral galaxy IC 5052. Surrounded by distant stars and galaxies, it emits a bright blue-white glow which highlights its narrow, intricate structure. It is viewed side-on in the constellation of Pavo (The Peacock), in the southern sky.

When spiral galaxies are viewed from this angle, it is very difficult to fully understand their properties and how they are arranged. IC 5052 is actually a barred spiral galaxy – its pinwheeling arms do not begin from the centre point but are instead attached to either end of a straight "bar" of stars that cuts through the galaxy's middle. Approximately two thirds of all spirals are barred, including the Milky Way.

Bursts of pale blue light are visible across the galaxy's length, partially blocked out by weaving lanes of darker gas and dust. These are pockets of extremely hot newborn stars. The bars present in spirals like IC 5052 are thought to help these formation processes by effectively funnelling material from the swirling arms inwards towards these hot stellar nurseries.
