I've been tracking on this one for a while now whenever it shows up on /r/SCP to deliver some things you may not know about SCP-993.
Personally Written Plot Summary: "The initial Tripod attack consists of two Tripods being sent down to earth, both of which are almost laughably easily defeated as they are taken down by simple tanks and artillery. If I recall, a year later after most of the extraterrestrial attack has been forgotten about, a mysterious TV signal appears with a new strange animated program called "The Trippy Show." This show the main character and his family soon discovers albeit not soon enough that the show is a subtle brainwashing broadcast sent out by the tripods to brainwash the residents or in this case children of earth into worshiping them. Blocking of the signal is attempted but merely stalls the approaching uprising, at one time a child stabbing his parents to death overseas (America this time, the main characters being in England if I remember correctly.) after they try to take her away from the show, something mirrored by the main character's little sister becoming extremely upset when he forgets to tape an episode. The family flies to Switzerland which in and of itself is starting to become overrun with both "Trippies" and people fleeing their countries alike. But obviously, this doesn't last for long and the family is forced into the wilderness, surviving off what they can find. Here the book ends as the fate of humanity seems extremely bleak.
