Yes it is
Boss fight starts when you look up
And censored ain't different in that regard
 
Blah, I don't know if this is an absolutely terrible idea, but X does have Big Eyes from the Lamp to try to see [CENSORED] better. I'm tempted to try to use that here.

Big Eyes: A way to see deeper than a person normally could. Reveals details, invisibility, illusions, enchantments, other modifications, dimensional abnormalities, and other things within your ordinary line of sight. Improves range of vision and eventually accesses pre/postcognition depending on the wielder's paranoia.

Otherwise... idk, maybe lure it down with some food or something.

......Can it even do that? For all we know it could be just.... a Plant or an amoeba or something.
 
If it is a plant or amoeba it sure moved a lot for one back in LobCorp.

:V We can always try to feed it with what we know it likes, nuggets

Anyway, I will just put the big eye thing as a vote first.

[X] Try to Communicate?
-[X] Try to use Big Eyes on [CENSORED]
-[X] See if is at least sapient.
-[X] If sapient, try and see if it can speak via vocal or written language.

Edit: Change of mind later

yeah
And we have the pleasure of hearing an employee to describe it In the story of CENSORED, fortunately, it was censored too, but unfortunately, it leaves your imagination to fill the blanks.
 
Before I conk out
My bet looking like those buggers from hp Lovecraft
Or an amorphous hole or Crack in reality
An Unreality for lack of a term
A thing that can't be described because it's like the nothing from the never ending story
Tis literally Nothingness held together by conceptual duct tape
You can't describe Nothing Except as Nothing
Nothing Is the only perfect thing that can exist..... because there's nothing for a flaw to actually land on
Would explain things
Admittedly basing this based on what has been described

Edit and admittedly could be very wrong and it's just a really ugly parasitic sea anemone that has a very enthusiastic approach to procreation, like that one wasp species

Ps some theorize Censored was meant to parody scp

So just to confirm...the abnormality that is a living cognito hazard, we want to use Big Eyes on it to see it better?

Anyone mind explaining the logic behind that and why they think this will help? because it doesn't sound like a good idea on the face of it.

EDIT: grammar

Beats me, probably because of our nature as an Abnormality, we could be immune or have great resistance to its effects.
 
abnos doesn't take mental damage from other abnormalities. So I think we will be fine, not sure.
Who knows maybe we can open the 3rd eye because of this or gain some weird mutation thingy

I don't think it's the safest method by any means, but what I do know is that currently, [CENSORED] seems to be still in hiding, staying far away and somehow still blurring itself without any censors in play. (Edit: The spawns are what is being blurred here, but I think it's safe to assume the same is happening for [CENSORED] as well)

X, as a abnormality, also showed little to no issues with [CENSORED] as of right now. She and Angela even did that little test and concluded from X's lack of reaction that she is not affected by [CENSORED]'s unique properties.

So using Big Eyes here at least serve as a quick way of getting an understanding on whatever the heck [CENSORED] is doing.

In the worst case scenario... Angela is there and she can handle the fallout. That and I don't really have any other ideas in mind right now on how to handle [CENSORED].

Edit: Though now that I read it again... X actually haven't laid eyes on [CENSORED] yet, only detected it though senses as a mass right above. Angela did look at it though. That said, X didn't really have any issue looking at the spawns of [CENSORED], and Angela didn't exactly warn X not to look at [CENSORED] or anything. So...:confused:

Hmm, I'm still not sure if this is a horrible idea or not. I'm still gonna stick to it, but feel free to do a counter write-in to not do this.

But Censored was different. It was never happy, never satisfied with its interactions. That it actually has desires at all is a bit of a surprise.

*Do a quick check*

Oh, yeah, CENSORED was unable to get the *happy* result from jobs, interesting little tidbit to remember.

"This barrier will filter out any stimulus that does not originate from you. As an Abnormality, you shouldn't be affected by Censored's unique properties any more than the others."

Yeah! We get to actually see CENSORED!

I'm betting on it taking the form of a vulnerable little girl, just because, that's definitely the best way to do white Damage to X, after all. :V

you do have a better plan,

Hiiiiiiissssss, controlling thought, go away!

"I declassified some of Censored's files received from other Branches after the Facility fell. One in particular performed extensive testing with it before it was moved." the Library Director answers.

...On a scale of one to ten, how much of a disaster was it and how many employees did it kill?

Because I can't see that going well.

Lepidoptera said:
The normally bright, warm lighting is a dull flicker. The walls, floor, and ceiling have turned a dull, rotted grey. Spiderwebs and holes dot the scene. The books, normally disorganized but taken care of, are scattered across the floor in prices and floating in puddles of thick, black tarry fluid that sizzles slightly whenever something new falls into it. The hallway forward twists slightly as it goes, having fully turned upside-down by the time it breaks off into a T-junction. Everything looks blurry and far-away until you focus on it hard enough.

At a guess, CENSORED wants to mark the place as its own, that's why it's a replica of the library with *damages*.

Even at a glance, you can tell something is horribly wrong with them. Each creature looks less like it's actually there are more like a hole in space leading to a person

It is in that moment you recognize that you've made a mistake. If Angela's deeply unimpressed stare wasn't enough of a hint, the bizarre screeching as eight more of the monsters finish tunneling through the far wall would be a pretty helpful sign. In a situation like this, there's only one thing to say.

"Fuck."

I agree with Angela there, you had to say the words, did you?

I... agree, pulling the microscope is tempting fate there, we would be better served by going to communication directly without big eyes.

Here's a plan for communication:

[X] Try to Communicate?
-[x] Try to act non-threatening
-[x] Tell that you just want to talk
-[x] If CENSORED doesn't react, try looking at it by looking up, stop if it seem to react with hostility to that
-[x] if it does react but do not attack, try to strike a conversation, how do we address them (if it's not a cognihazard), what does it wants, this kind of things

Like, we know it's above us, Big Eyes is overkill, and dangerous, and what if CENSORED actually doesn't want to be seen? Having it as an opening move is asking to cut diplomacy short, let's try other things before that.

You know what, that is a compelling enough argument.

If it starts doing shifty stuff, be generally not responsive or understandable, or attacks X though, I'm coming back to the Big Eyes option.

Agreed. It is a better plan.

I thought about it because Angela pointed out that it was strange that we didn't see CENSORED right of the bats, and then we remarked it's at a place where it could've attacked already (above), but where people are unlikely to look, and I suddenly wondered, *wait, is it hiding?*

X: I seem to know which Abnormalities I want to deal with first. Let's go, Angela.
[CENSORED] meanwhile: Why am I hearing the boss's music?!
