Was nuking SCP-3221-1 feasible?
The Foundation had considered it—and dismissed it.
Reasons:
Unpredictable Dimensions: SCP-3221-1 was vast. Seven recorded window events (since 1997) showed entirely different landscapes each time:
A green plain with a fountain and two elderly men.
A cavern spewing green ooze and floating ores.
Prester John's army (where they first witnessed the white bone spear).
A sermon by an unknown priest.
Conclusion: The dimension was too large for nukes to meaningfully affect.
Catastrophic Risks: Bombing an interdimensional rift could:
Collapse the channel, potentially vaporizing Earth.
Trigger an XK-class scenario.
Thus, the Foundation only authorized nukes against Prester John's followers on Earth—never his home dimension.
How Luo Shu Made It Happen
Self-Deception Memetics:
Luo Shu believed nuking SCP-3221-1 would work.
This memetic effect swayed Barbie (reluctantly) and Peter (enthusiastically).
The Play:
A Black Hawk delivered the nuke to the rift.
Prester John, fearing for his kingdom, rushed back.
Prester John's Last Words:
"Why help me?"
Luo Shu grinned. "Because 'God' is our common enemy."
The king nodded. "If your words hold true, we are allies."
Aftermath
Stigma-9 (the absurdly named MTF) resealed SCP-3221.
Jianjia's Cover: Told Barbie Luo Shu threatened the king.
Barbie's Suspicion: She didn't buy it—but couldn't prove otherwise.
The Twist:
The nuke did destabilize SCP-3221-1—just enough to force Prester John's return.
But now he owes Luo Shu a favor.
Luo Shu's Victory:
He flipped open the Anomalous Item Archive, heart racing.
