Good, but that administrator's note at the end kinda kills it. The whole "amount of paperwork" thing seems kinda like a lolAuthority (rolling with it). If you meant it to be a "they care more about paperwork than the thing they're studying" thing, it's too over the top.
I agree, should likely edit that to make it sound like the director doesn't want the RPC needlessly destroyed, given it's a fairly benign and harmless entity. And attempting to do so, could needlessly antagonise it.
This is a really interesting RPC but I feel like interview is maybe underselling him a little bit, it comes off a a rehash of what you read in the description and doesn't really add anything new to him. I'm not sure what the intention was so perhaps it's fine as it is but his aversion to talking about himself is very interesting so I thought the interview could maybe give a few hints as to why he's hiding the information about himself and why he won't acknowledge his current state. For now +1 either way, fun read.
as it can proclaim the superiority of Communism at one moment and sing the praises of free market Capitalism a mere hour later.
I find this sentence funny, but it isn't very scientific.
As others have already stated, there are lines that detract from the clinical tone of the article. Another one of such lines is how the personnel find "it all very creepy". Since well, you know, someone working for the Authority would expect creepy stuff… maybe that line could be worked into an interview or a researcher's note.
What if joe was afflicted with something that made him into a tree and it'll get us too? What if the termites come for him?
This is another short and silly RPC, and I'd be a big fan of it if perhaps it was written more like an Authority article. The subject matter of an RPC can be incredibly ridiculous and off-the-wall, but the tone shouldn't. Lines like
it can proclaim the superiority of Communism at one moment and sing the praises of free market Capitalism a mere hour later.
seem ill-fitting for an Authority article. I'd even go so far as to say the phrase "it is perhaps worth noting" is too casual for an article.
I still consider this one an alright RPC.
No signature defined.
I like it on a base level but I think it's very unrefined.
Very reluctant 4.
Eh. Fallout did it better. This does nothing for me.
Such is life in the Soviet Union
