[SCP Theme] Battle for Ganzir - last stand of the UNGOC

Welcome back again,

I am slowly running out of unique ways to greet you all, so I'm open for suggestions for that. Anyway, as promised, here is a new SCP theme. Though I guess it is more of a GOC theme, but that's arguing semantics, I guess.

WARNING: Spoilers for SCP-5000 ahead

This time inspired by -- SCP-5000: why? -- , where the foundation discovers something in the collective human unconscious, the psychospace, whatever you want to call it. In turn the foundation decides to kill humanity.

This is where Ganzir comes into play. It is a secure GOC installation which isn't really mentioned in any other files, but it is quite clear that the battle for would've been one of epic proportions, considering it withstood quite well against the full force of the foundation "turned evil".

I put the "turned evil" in quotes because the motivation for the foundation's actions aren't clear. It could have been a cognitohazard that turned them evil, or the foundation truly discovered a terrible fate for humanity. My personal theory/headcannon is they discovered the SCP-001 past and future, but alas, we may never know.

Anyway, now that this video is done, I will see you all in a month or two. Finals are coming up soon. I mean really soon; one week from now soon.

[JustAnAmerican_]

“The Foundation thinks they can contain monsters, the Chaos thinks they can use the monsters, and the Serpent’s Hand thinks we can co-exist with the monsters. Just put a bullet in its head and get it over with.”

- UNGOC Commander

[drunkenboss]

I think people are misinterpreting the story of scp-5000. The Ganzir wasn't just another hurdle the foundation had to leap over, it was more like a freaking MOUNTAIN that the foundation had to climb. The foundation threw everything they had at it yet it still wouldn't crack. In the end, the Ganzir fell for an unknown reason. For what we do know, under the right circumstances and without foundation plot armour, the Ganzir may have held up indefinitely or at least long enough for other GOIs to take meaningful action.

[supe]

For those who don't know, Ganzir is the name of the last GOC fortress and hope against to fend off the Foundation who went from protecting humanity to exterminating it after discovering a horrible truth. More information can be found in SCP 5000 which is a good read

[vardiganxpl]

"Ganzir is the name of the palace of the goddess Ereshkigal in Sumerian Mythology, the palace welcomed the souls of the dead, the GOC named the fortress city as such, for it was the last refuge for humanity in the end of the it all broke when the walls finally fell, as the soulless finally broke in"

[oneevidence]

The Foundation stood and died in the dark. It is now time for those who lived in the light to continue their fight.

[pipefish]

GLORY TO THE GOC, THE FORTRESS BROKE BEFORE THE SOLDIERS DID!

[redleaf]

“As the evil men of the SCP foundation try and try, they will not break through the walls of the mighty Ganzir!, we shall defend humanity to our dying breath!”

[rainflea]

Honestly, the song is beautiful and fits the story perfectly. SCP-5000 may be a story of death and destruction, but in it you see sworn enemies, the Serpent's Hand, the GOC, the Church of the Broken God, all bind together to save and protect humanity, one final time.

[manwithgun]

"The SCP Foundation is gone, But not dead."
*"We'll make them be."*

[pags]

This is the only branch of the UN that does anything

[foldervtolvr]

When I read SCP-5000, I always believed that Ganzir was probably one of if not the most absolutely nuts battles in human history. I don't think it was just the UNGOC, I like to believe any remaining national military forces were fighting along with small pockets of Chaos Insurgency. In my eyes, the battle on Ganzir wasn't just the last battle of the UNGOC, it was the last true battle of humanity. US, Chinese, Russian, and any other remaining military's soldiers, fighting together to give humanity one last chance. Even if they failed eventually, Ganzir stood strong until the end.

[senatorstevenarmstrong]

The GOC will always be my favourite organization. They held their own against Gods, world ending anomalies, and the SCP foundation for a couple of minutes

[DeadPerfection]

The United Nations couldn't just watch as the world was destroyed. No matter the controversies involving the United Nations and its conventions, when mankind was threatened with complete eradication, her greatest alliance wasn't going to die without a fight.

[gamer-fjsf]

Atleast they held true to their mission to the very end.

[klortikterra]

from the undisputed "hated" faction, to the one we all routed for...

this also feels like a dark flipside to "final flash of exitance"

[foolzgold]

"Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light."

[AlterationReality]

"It was a honor and a privilege to do what we thought was right, goodbye nations"

[pitcairnislandgaming]

I imagine there's this band at Ganzir, and they're just playing during the fight. Like, GOC, CI, and Serpent's Hand agents are fighting for their lives, and then there's a band in the back, going absolutely ham on their instruments, and creating the most fire thing since 457.

[negativeiquser]

"The doors have all been bolted, the cannons loaded, every soldier is in place. I think that's all the preparations."
"Almost."
(pulls out comically large speakers and starts playing this)
" . . . . hell yeah"

[Man-lthc]

The vibe of this just screams fighting a battle you can't win and/or a hardened defensive last stand, which is most likely what Ganzir was, being the fortified stronghold it is, the GOC probably defended it like hell, in one last stand, they had almost no allies left, and were on their own. This song is perfection, and I can easily envision what it would've looked like even if I hadn't known what scp 5000 was. Well done sir. Brilliantly fucking done.
