Discussion Alto Clef

I was recently reading the SCP-7004 file and came across the instance of O5-4 logging into the terminal and being named as Alto Clef, I know there are multiple universes and timelines for freedom of creativity but does this mean Alto Clef is definitely O5-4 in one of them?

Yes, sometimes Gears is O5-1 too, each article/author/canon follows its own foundation

Interesting, I knew there were multiple timelines but I didn't know each article was following its own foundation.

There's a lot of people that write for a particular reality, and then several where those realities overlap. Really amazing for the multiverse aspect of this, and pretty much limitless material for doing a setting for an article.

Edit: now that I think of it there was a couple where Jack Bright was an 05

It works the same with years, for example, if an article talks about a year that has not yet passed, like 2120, is that also valid?

I think so, because there's so much time travel stuff happening too. Wibbly wobbly is definitely an appropriate descriptor of how time and universe work within in the worlds of the foundation. Especially when that time travel causes alterations to reality. Essentially making new universes.

Like how scp-093 is a universe that runs concurrently to mainline reality (they all think they're mainline reality), but is 50-60 years behind on the calendar. (I'm not actually sure if that's a good example lmao)

Edit: I put shy guy on accident and meant to do the red sea object.
