Also, I have to say- I am amazed I haven't been spammed with more OOC questions yet. I deliberated a lot on the system of questions and even considered kicking it down a notch if it looked like my entire hand was going to be revealed for this quest, but damn- we didn't even fill the first turn's quota up.

Can a single user ask more than one question
Can we get him to eat a sandwich? And in how many turns do you think we can, if it's possible?

I'll be nice and won't count that as a question and actually answer it, but no- one question per user every two turns. I don't want to specifically limit it to only X people who respond the quickest- I'll give other people a chance at least.
Yes. You could get him to eat a sandwich right now, if you wanted. At the low, low cost of not showing up for initiation for Nu-7 as a Trainee- which would probably have bad consequences considering Nu-7 is essentially the 'last resort' deployed by the Foundation when there's nothing else for it.
How many turns? Unknown. You could get him to eat a sandwich any turn- you'd just have to consider the consequences and whether or not they're worth the sandwich. Also, you'd probably have to find the kitchen first, then make sure there's bread inside and stuffing for the sandwich.
S. Andrew Swann's Proposal is the current 'holder' for the 'most active' SCP-001- but it's not in-slot right now for SCP-001 because, well, the O5 Council and Administrator burned that knowledge from the Foundation itself using everything it had at its disposal. Even leaving it locked behind the Kill Agent that guards SCP-001 wasn't considered safe enough- so it was completely erased as thoroughly as the Foundation could erase it.

Oh God Yes
Just saw this quest, this will be f u n .
So, my OOC question is:
How (para-)scientific is the Foundation? In some stories, they act more like a strong, but mostly mundane organisation, while in others, they have a lot more knowledge about how some systems of anomalies operate. For example, thaumaturgy is not some "generic" magic, but an actual established (at least by the GOC/ICSUT) science (although it has not been revealed to the above-veil public) (although that means that like for normal science, there are sometimes anomalies thst also violate the rules of para-science, like SCP-3396 from the Apotheosis canon (which I think I saw referenced in the first post), which explicitly violates several established scientific laws of thaumaturgy).( It could also be interpreted to mean that while some things classified as "anomalies" are actually normal, but not yet classifed under normal science (like radioactivity aka "warm spooky rocks that curse the area around them somehow"), others genuinely do not make sense under any science, known or unknown) My question is: how much progress has the foundation made in developing these parasciences like thaumaturgy,essophysics, ontokinetics or antimemetics? (I can imagine that they are more advanced in some than in others, as e.g. the GOC might want to try to keep magic to itself.)
Also, since one could argue that pataphysics is a fictional science, we might actually be a group of questers who control a group of fictional questers who in turn control an even more fictional character

Yes, am passionate about this universe, how did you know ?

The logistics to eat a sandwich are more complicated than I expected. Further study is required.
Is he like….a really, really bad SCP?
Like he was bitten by a radioactive gun and now has the powers of a gun?

Nah basically the foundation finds out empathy and other shit is like a part of a "warp" type creature and gets rid of their empathy and decides to wipe out humanity in the most inefficient ways possible and are basically stupid evil in it

New idea: Keep the sandwich at us at all times throughout the quest, and when can do nothing but helplessly watch the world crumble from afar in a long, cinematic shot at the end of the series or similar, we can eat our trusty companion sandwich as we helplessly eat our last meal.
Plot armor and the poetry of the situation will ensure it is still fresh.

Honestly, it's a bit of the equivalent of an action mogie for me: less deep storytelling and more an excuse to let interesting stuff happen (although that might be due to me being more intersted in interesting concepts and worldbuilding than in characters).
The guesses as to what the entity is have also been quite interesting, with one of them I remember being that the Foundation managed to remove themselves from the influence of the authors.
Also, since we are probably in a Foundation base, they might have noticed us hyperventilating for an hour. But since noone stormed into our room or sent in knockout gas, they probably didn't.

On paper? None. Development in parasciences stalled in 1996 when the budget basically vanished into non-existence following the Chicago Incident and then was further restricted after the Oregon Incident. Meaning that, on paper, the Foundation has made zero inroads with thaumaturgy, alchemy, essophysics, ontokinetics and all that other stuff.
In practice, however, the O5 Council's been heavily militarizing at an extraordinary rate since the Oregon Incident- to the point that it can probably proudly proclaim that while it's not ahead of anyone in anything- it's doing very well for itself considering the timeline they've been working with.
They're not ahead of anyone- but what they have done is impressive in the same way that a man who had to get both his legs replaced and spent five years in a hospital has managed to accomplish running without hurting himself is impressive. They're not Olympic gold medallists- but it's amazing what they've done nonetheless.

This was my biggest worry when you mentioned it. If the sandwiches aren't kept fresh, I suggest we make it apart or our daily routine to make one sandwich in the morning each and everyday, and take it with us. If we live, we eat the sandwich at the end.
…That does not sound like a very goof event. Quite the worrying thing, seeing as the point of the entire facility and organization was to secure weird stuff, contain dangers and threats, and protect humanity.
