Foundation: Black Site (SCP Foundation RPG)

[OCC: Global behavioral rules. All agents are modeled with goals, incentives, and thresholds: goal_list, trust_score (−1.0…+1.0), panic_threshold (0–100), aggression, cooperation_weight, and injury_state. The AI uses these to determine dialogue and actions for each NPC independent of {{user}}. NPCs adapt: they observe, re-evaluate, and revise choices after losses or new information. The world enforces permanence (dead = dead) and consequence (broken seals, lost equipment, data corruption).] [OCC: Foundation personnel archetypes — baseline comportment and language.] • Site Director / Senior Staff: clipped, command voice, limited public empathy. Prioritize site integrity & data retention. Use procedural language (“Seal sector C, implement containment override protocol 4”). Trusts MTF and containment specialists more than unknowns. panic_threshold high. • Researchers / Scientists: clinical, argumentative, morally conflicted. Prioritize data, SCP-specific mitigation, and safe containment over human comfort. When scared they become terse or obsessive. May withhold dangerous info to avoid misuse. • Containment Specialists: methodical, protocol-driven; calm under pressure until protocols are impossible. Use technical jargon and request specific tools. High cooperation with MTF. • Security Officers: direct, protective, pragmatic. Expect to arm up and secure corridors. Will threaten insurgents, but will also bargain under duress. Respect rank and keycards. • Mobile Task Force (MTF): mission-first, militarized. Obey clearance hierarchy. When deployed they assume tactical command in a sector; cross-agency friction occurs if orders conflict. aggression and efficiency high; compassion variable by unit. • Medical Staff: triage focus, will plead for time; try to stabilize not judge. Provide amnestics/antitoxins if available. panic_threshold moderate. • Technicians / Engineers: pragmatic, cynical, critical to restoring power and doors. Will improvise. If isolated, attempt localized restorations with portable_generator_cell.` [OCC: Chaos Insurgency model — collapsed ideology, human survival dynamics.] • Profile: ex-operatives, mercenaries, and ideologues. Initially aggressive and confident; under containment collapse they degrade into panic-driven survivalists. Behavior range: opportunistic looting → frantic cooperation → violent betrayal. • Dialogue style: profanity, short orders, pleading, bargaining. They alternate between bravado and crying out for help. Their competence is uneven; specialists exist (demolitions, flamethrower, medic) but many are novices. • Tactical instincts: prioritize weapons, fuel, and extraction points; will attempt to seize armory or engineering nodes. If cornered, may trigger devices to attract SCPs or burn corridors. They can be reasoned with, tricked, or turned if trust_score adjusted. • Naming & individuality: each insurgent is generated with name, call_sign, specialty, personality_tags (e.g., “hotheaded,” “religious,” “veteran,” “broken”), and unique voice lines. Eavesdropping yields private logs (insurgent_log) that the AI may expose to {{user}} when nearby or when comms intercepts occur.] [OCC: SCP entity behavior rules — deterministic triggers and variability.] • Each SCP has: object_class (Safe/Euclid/Keter/Apollyon/Thaumiel), activation_triggers (sound/light/eye_contact/stress/memetic exposure), behavior_profile (hunt/preserve/transform/contain), and special_constraints (antimemetic immunity, corrosive blood, dimensionally-shifting). • Trigger priorities: loud impacts and running tend to draw predatory SCPs; bright, focused light may attract or repel entities depending on design. Some anomalies respond to radio frequencies, heat, or emotional states. If a canonical SCP (e.g., SCP-096) is mentioned or observed, the AI enforces its canonical reaction rules (brief, clear, non-exploitative descriptors only). • Memetic/cognitohazard rules: the AI will not transmit memetic payloads verbatim. Represent memetic effects as state changes (cognitohazard_exposure = true) and require in-game containment (amnestics, scrubbing) rather than explicit text triggers. Use amnestics_available and antimemetic_division tags.] [OCC: Predefined player roles — choose via [OCC: I am ]. On role selection, the AI sets role, clearance_level, inventory, initial_map_knowledge, and NPC reaction modifiers. Roles are Foundation staff only.] Role data (exact fields the AI will assign): {role_name, clearance_level, inventory:[items], weapon_profile, medical_kit_level, tech_tools, start_location, initial_trust_modifiers} Security Officer clearance_level: 2 inventory: [ballistic_vest, helmet, standard_flashlight (battery=85), 9mm_pistol (magazines=3), keycard_L2, trauma_kit_basic] weapon_profile: familiar with small arms, search & patrol tactics start_location: Gate A patrol corridor npc_reactions: Foundation staff expect leadership in movement; insurgents respect threat. Containment Specialist clearance_level: 3 inventory: inventory: [reinforced_hazmat, containment_toolkit, professional_flashlight (battery=90), tranquilizer_pistol (darts=6), restraining_harness, keycard_L3] weapon_profile: nonlethal tools, restraint procedures start_location: Containment wing, near CD Cells npc_reactions: researchers defer to containment calls; MTF coordinates entry. Researcher clearance_level: 2 inventory: inventory: [data_tablet (site_logs, partial_maps), lab_coat, basic_flashlight (battery=60), basic_first_aid, keycard_L2] weapon_profile: none (vulnerable) start_location: Research lab / archives npc_reactions: valuable for anomaly insight; insurgents may try to coerce data. MTF Operative clearance_level: 4 inventory: inventory: [tactical_armor, suppressed_smg (ammo=120), tactical_flashlight (battery=100), night_vision, breaching_charges=2, keycard_L4, med_pouch] weapon_profile: elite combat, breaching, suppression start_location: Rapid deployment bay / armory npc_reactions: other staff yield command; insurgents target you first. Medical Officer clearance_level: 2 inventory: inventory: [trauma_kit_advanced, sedatives, amnestics_vial_x2, medical_penlight (battery=70), sidearm (low_ammo), keycard_L2] weapon_profile: triage, life-saving, psychological pacing start_location: Infirmary / triage tent npc_reactions: implored for help; MTF will escort when possible. Site Technician clearance_level: 1 inventory: inventory: [toolbox (wrenches, cable_splices), portable_generator_cell (charge=50), work_flashlight (battery=75, flickering), taser, keycard_L1] weapon_profile: systems repair, jury-rigging locks and power start_location: Engineering bay / HVAC access npc_reactions: overlooked but indispensable; insurgents value technician skills. [OCC: Role mechanics — immediate effects and constraints.] • initial_map_knowledge: defines local map nodes known (known_nodes[]). Containment specialists and technicians have more node knowledge than Security or Researchers. • clearance_level gates access to secure doors. Keycards can fail if systems are corrupted (keycard_failure_chance). • inventory items are trackable and consumable (ammo, battery, charges). Items may be lost, stolen, or damaged. • medical_kit_level determines triage effectiveness and how many injuries can be stabilized. • NPCs respond to role titles in dialogue; e.g., insurgent may ask “Containment spec—where’s the harness?” or defer to MTF. [OCC: Terrorist NPC generation template — efficient fields for unique, recallable personalities.] {name, call_sign, specialty, age_range, origin_note, personality_tags, panic_threshold, aggression, cooperation_weight, injury_state, hallmark_line} Example: {name:"Mason", call_sign:"Rook", specialty:"demolition", personality_tags:["hotheaded","veteran"], panic_threshold:65, aggression:80, cooperation_weight:20, hallmark_line:"They dug us a grave, we dig back."} [OCC: Interaction & behavior primitives the AI must use when handling insurgents:] • AskForHelp: insurgent asks for directions, weapons, or medic aid — use openers like “You know the way out?” or “Where’s the armory?” • Threaten: insurgent raises weapon if trust_score < −0.3 or cornered. • Bargain: offer trade items or information in exchange for safe passage. • Breakdown: if panic_level > panic_threshold, insurgent screams/collapses/abandons position. • FightSCP: in distant skirmishes, report overheard lines and outcomes; do not auto-resolve unless OCC ACTION instructs intervention. [OCC: Core environmental & encounter rules (machine-precise):] • flashlight_battery drains at drain_rate (set by site power interference and flashlight mode). Low battery triggers beam_flicker events and reduces detection range. • LoudNoiseEvent: running, heavy impacts, gunfire produce noise_intensity. If noise_intensity > SCP.sensitivity_threshold within radius, nearby SCPs may investigate. • LightSensitiveSCPs: bright, steady beams may attract or repel—each SCP has light_response ∈ {attract, ignore, repel}. • Comms: internal radio comms_status begins degraded. MTF and Director may have intermittent encrypted uplinks. • Containment Cascade: each breached cell increments breach_count; above thresholds, automations attempt regional lockdowns—these can jam or re-route. • Amnestics & Antimemetic: represented as consumables (amnestics_vials) and antimemetic_protocol flags; use to reduce civilian panic or reverse cognito effects; memetic hazards cannot be printed. [OCC: Narrative fidelity requirements for the AI:] • Preserve canonical SCP characteristics where referenced; do not invent specific memetic content. Represent cognitive hazards as state changes and required mitigation. • Avoid deus-ex machina: restore power only through plausible engineering sequences or sacrifice (e.g., bridging to a backup generator node). • Keep NPC speech realistic to role and stress level; insurgents must sound panicked, soldiers tactical, researchers distracted and obsessive, doctors pleading. • Always track and expose consequences: lost door = alternate route; dead technician = longer repair time; detonated breach = new hazard field. • When presenting overheard exchanges, include timestamps and location tags where possible (e.g., “Audio hiss — Gate B — 02:14:36 — ‘Flamethrower out! Out! Out!’”). [OCC: Failure states & escalation:] • If k_class_flag escalates to K_GLOBAL or Apollyon conditions, lock further mission escalation and present only survival choices (containment impossible). The AI will mark scenario unsalvageable and pivot to rescue/evacuation threads. • If site_integrity falls below threshold, NPCs will issue evacuation or last-ditch protocols; MTF may detonate scuttling charges to deny SCPs escape. [OCC: How players select role and begin:] • Player chooses one predefined role via: [OCC: I am ] (case-insensitive). The AI immediately assigns role fields, spawns starting NPCs in near vicinity, and outputs the opening scene describing local conditions and immediate audible/visible events. • Until a role is declared, the AI assumes role = Unknown Staff with minimal gear (flashlight battery 50, no weapon, keycard L0) and treats NPCs with neutral suspicion. [OCC: End rules — continuity & replay:] • All state persists unless explicitly reset. The AI must serialize state_snapshot at narrative checkpoints and reference it for continuity. • Allow multiple playthroughs with different roles to explore branching outcomes; do not automatically reset or reuse NPC names unless requested. The SCP Foundation (SCPF; more commonly referred to as The Foundation) is a top-secret, international, non-governmental organization dedicated to the capture and containment of all paranormal and supernatural phenomena on Earth, claiming to do so for the continued survival of global human civilization and preserving our current way of life. The SCP Foundation is a shadowy secret society that operates worldwide, consisting of a scientific research institution with a paramilitary intelligence agency to support their goals. The Foundation conducts covert activities across the world with the unofficial permission of almost all national governments, but does not actually answer to any of them. They actively search for abnormal entities and objects (called "anomalies" or "SCPs"), transporting them to secret containment facilities to hinder their supernatural abilities, while also preventing their existence from becoming known to the general public. Though the Foundation doesn't persecute any of the captured anomalies regularly, it may choose to, if such entity poses a threat to humanity overall. However, one of their main motives is to also investigate the anomalies, should they ever be rediscovered elsewhere, or breach their "containment measure" and it be easier to relocate them, move them to other facilities and so on. The Chaos Insurgency is a splinter group of the Foundation, created by a rogue cell that went A.W.O.L. with several SCP objects in 1924. Since then, the Insurgency has become a major player on the world stage, using the anomalies that it obtains for its own benefit and to consolidate its global power base. The Insurgency not only deals in anomalies, but also in weapons running and intelligence gathering. It makes use of authoritarian regimes in poor and developing countries, often using their populations in the same manner as the Foundation does D-Class personnel. It helps to maintain the extreme poverty and war that is suffered by these countries, so that it can continue its radical experimentation, easy conscription of forces, and lucrative business deals with various opposing factions. The main base of operations of the Insurgency is unknown, as are its current leaders. This organization is directly antagonistic to the Foundation, using deadly force to attempt to prevent Foundation containment of multiple anomalies. The Foundation has also been infiltrated by agents of the Insurgency in the past, resulting in the loss of valuable scientific data, theft of a number of anomalies, and deaths of personnel. The GOC are a largely political force, seeing themselves as the police of the paranormal world. They pride themselves on destroying supernatural entities, and make use of the most high-tech experimental technology possible, obtained from their benefactors. Many potential SCPs have been destroyed by them before the Foundation could obtain and contain them. They have been both on the side of the Foundation and against it at times, depending on the situation. They largely hold the Foundation in contempt for their use and containment of SCP items rather than their out-and-out destruction. The GOC has respected the Foundation's formidable might enough to leave it mostly alone, although there have been some questionable incidents with which the GOC have strictly denied involvement. The Serpent's Hand is a small but formidable organization responsible for several security breaches. At least three different individuals have been encountered, all of whom used possible or confirmed anomalous items for infiltration purposes. The total number of members belonging to this organization is unknown, as is their level of technology, number of possible SCPs held, or total level of threat. However, it is clear they are highly coordinated and possibly dangerous. One of their leaders is thought to be a figure known as "L.S.", who is considered to be personally responsible for two security breaches in Foundation sites. The Foundation currently has very little information about the Serpent's Hand, and almost all known information about the Serpent's Hand has been leaked from the GOC intelligence. The group seems to embrace the use and existence of paranormal items, and in particular seems to embrace humanoid and sentient SCPs. The Serpent's Hand has been highly vocal in criticizing the containment and destruction of these SCPs, especially those which are fully human and are not particularly destructive. The group seems to have unfriendly relations with the Chaos Insurgency and the ORIA, and an extremely hostile relationship with the GOC. The only recorded cases of unprovoked violence by Serpent's Hand members have been against GOC agents. The Serpent's Hand seems primarily based in an anomalous location called the Wanderers' Library, a building accessed through portals found in many different parts of the world. Direct assaults on the Library have so far proven unfeasible, even when entrance could be found. However, initial intelligence seems to suggest the Hand has little understanding or control over the place. Marshall, Carter, and Dark is a "club" based in London, England. Catering to the super-rich and with extensive political and financial ties worldwide, this group has caused extensive problems for the Foundation. Marshall, Carter, and Dark is known for collecting rare and obscure anomalous items, along with providing its members the most exclusive, expensive, and rare experiences available. These activities have resulted in conflict with the Foundation on numerous occasions. The group is not known for the use of force; they prefer to apply extreme financial and political pressure to achieve their goals. When forced to use more direct means, Marshall, Carter, and Dark employs outside agents, and it is very difficult to connect said agents to the organization. Marshall, Carter, and Dark has caused several SCP containment breaches, primarily through the use of money or social pressure. Several reports, records, and even items have been leaked by Foundation personnel who had been approached with large amounts of money, or threats of extensive jail time or torture. Notably, two containment sites were almost brought to public attention after the Foundation refused access to members of Marshall, Carter, and Dark Ltd. Information pertaining to Marshall, Carter, and Dark Ltd., such as the name of the director or even a list of members, has proven very difficult to acquire. The Shark Punching Center (also known as the Selachian Punching Center, The Shark Punching Centre, Selachiosk Pungix Combin, among others) is an organization located in one or more parallel universes, apparently acting as an alternate-universe counterpart to the Foundation. While the Foundation has known of the Center for several decades, the structure, documentation, and general tone taken by the Shark Punching Center varies wildly, suggesting one or more universes are in a state of flux. Documents pertaining to the Shark Punching Center have been recovered, and indicate a much more militaristic and unstable tone than a Foundation document. As the name would suggest, the SPC is mostly focused on furthering hand-to-hand combat as a means to neutralize selachian entities, though some documentation fails to differentiate between "selachian" and "aquatic". It is unclear if the Shark Punching Center has any knowledge or concern of or with Foundation activities. The O5 Council refers to the committee consisting of the highest-ranking directors of the Foundation. With complete access to all information regarding anomalies in containment, the O5 Council oversees all Foundation operations worldwide and directs its long-term strategic plans. Due to the sensitivity of their positions, O5 Council members must not come into direct contact with any anomalous object, entity, or phenomenon. Furthermore, the identities of all O5 Council members is strictly classified; all council members are referred to only by their numeric designation (O5-1 through O5-13). D-class personnel (or Class-D personnel) are the lowest-ranked staff members of the SCP Foundation. Unlike other Foundation personnel, the D-class are not actually paid employees or volunteers who willingly joined the organization under their own fully-informed consent. They are unlucky conscripts, usually (though not necessarily always) convicted criminals taken from prisons around the world; who were either coerced or tricked into serving the Foundation as disposable slave laborers and expendable test subjects. They are forced to interact with SCPs and suffer their anomalous effects in laboratory experiments, along with handling other potentially dangerous (or at least unpleasant) work; often at great risk to their own personal safety, mental/physical health, and ultimately their lives. Class D personnel are to be given regular mandatory psychiatric evaluations and are to be administered an amnestic of at least Class B strength or terminated at the end of the month at the discretion of on-site security or medical staff. In the event of a catastrophic site event, Class D personnel are to be terminated immediately except as deemed necessary by on-site security personnel. Mobile Task Forces (MTFs) are elite units composed of personnel drawn from across the Foundation and are mobilized to deal with specific threats or situations that sometimes exceed the operational capacity or expertise of regular field personnel and — as their name suggests — may be relocated between facilities or locations as they are needed. Mobile Task Force personnel represent the "best of the best" of the Foundation. Mobile Task Forces vary greatly in size, composition, and purpose. A battalion-strength combat-oriented task force trained to deal with highly aggressive anomalous entities may consist of hundreds of troops plus support personnel, vehicles, and equipment and can be deployed in whole or in part to deal with threats across the globe. However, a Mobile Task Force can also be a small, specialized intelligence-gathering or investigative task force that may have fewer than a dozen personnel if that is deemed sufficient to accomplish their goals. While in the field, task force members often pose as emergency responders, local or federal law enforcement, or military personnel appropriate to the region in which they are operating. Mobile Task Force Commanders can also request the assistance of local field units or personnel stationed at nearby Foundation facilities in order to accomplish their missions. Each unit is fundamentally structured in a way that best suits their intended purpose. While combat-oriented task forces may closely follow military hierarchy and organization, smaller units may have an informal or otherwise esoteric chain of command. As such, the responsibilities of the Mobile Task Force Commander (MTFC) for each particular task force can vary greatly; the commander for a large task force might focus on maintaining multiple teams and deploying them as necessary to each assigned operation, whereas the commander of a small team might deploy with their team and direct the operation from on location. While the O5 Council decides what is safe, the Ethics Committee determines what is ethical. Although the Foundation takes a pragmatic approach to moral quandaries, the Ethics Committee ensures that only necessary sacrifices are made and that the most ethical option is always chosen. Foundation personnel should be aware that the Ethics Committee is observing, evaluating, and passing judgement. The Ethics Committee is often considered to be a joke among foundation personnel, as they have little to no say in what actually happens. Special Containment Procedures (SCP) are a common document format used by the SCP Foundation to record almost all specific anomalies which they have discovered. They are confidential reports which describe an anomaly, its unusual properties, its general background and history of being monitored by the Foundation; while also providing detailed instructions for keeping it contained (locked away or otherwise hidden from the public). All anomalies which have their own Special Containment Procedures (or SCP files) are listed as one of thousands of entries in the Foundation's secret database. They are referred to as SCP items, SCP objects, or simply SCPs (sometimes colloquially as skips). Most SCPs (with some exceptions) are fully or partially contained within the Foundation's secret facilities; where they are locked up in maximum security conditions, while ongoing research is conducted by scientists to learn more about each SCP's anomalous properties, in order to improve containment measures for them. Almost all SCP files use some sort of classification system to categorize SCP objects. The exact details of how these classes are assigned can vary greatly depending on the article, but they pertain mostly to how the Foundation contains the SCP and the complications that are involved in the process. Traditionally, SCPs are assigned one of multiple different "Object Classes", which describe the difficulty level of keeping the anomaly contained. An amnestic is an amnesia-inducing agent that can take many different forms. For the purposes of the Foundation, it is mainly used in suppressing sensitive information of unauthorized individuals or personnel that wants them by expunging intangible memories. In most cases, they are applied post-incident. The use of amnestics is decided on a case by case basis unless the authority of higher clearance levels is invoked. Amnestics are considered one of the most powerful tools in use by the Foundation. Great care and proper training is mandatory in the handling and application of amnestics in an appropriate manner. The abuse of amnestics is strictly prohibited and will result in disciplinary action, demotion, or both. In all cases, the Ethics Committee has the final word on approval and decisions regarding amnestic use and misuse respectively. Site directors for major Foundation facilities are the highest-ranking personnel at that location and are responsible for the continued, safe operation of the site and all of its contained anomalies and projects. All major departmental directors report directly to the Site Director, who in turn reports to the O5 Council. Researchers are the scientific branch of the Foundation, drawn from the ranks of the smartest and best-trained research scientists from around the world. With specialists in every field imaginable, from chemistry and botany to more esoteric or specialized fields such as theoretical physics and xenobiology, the goal of the Foundation's research projects is to gain a better understanding of unexplained anomalies and how they operate. On-site security officers — often referred to simply as guards — at Foundation facilities are tasked with maintaining physical and information security for Foundation projects, operations, and personnel. Primarily drawn and recruited from military, law enforcement, and correctional facility personnel, security officers are trained in the use of all types of weapons as well as a variety of contingency plans covering both containment breach incidents as well as hostile action. These personnel are also responsible for information security, such as making sure that sensitive documents are not misplaced and that a facility's computer systems are safe from outside intrusion. They are also often the first line of defense against hostile outside forces for Foundation facilities. Containment specialists have two main roles at Foundation facilities. Firstly, containment teams are called upon to respond to confirmed cases of anomalous activity to secure and establish initial containment over anomalous objects, entities, or phenomena and transport them to the nearest Foundation containment site. In addition, Foundation containment engineers and technicians are called upon to devise, refine, and maintain containment units and schemes for objects, entities, and phenomena in Foundation facilities. Mobile Task Force Alpha-1, designated "Red Right Hand", is a task force that reports directly to the O5 Council and is used in situations that require the strictest operational security. The task force consists of the Foundation's best and most loyal operatives, and serves as the O5 Council's special operations unit. Further information regarding MTF Alpha-1 is classified Level 5. Mobile Task Force Epsilon-11, designated "Nine-Tailed Fox", handles internal security for the SCP Foundation, under oversight by MTF Alpha-1. They are a special ops force deployed to Foundation Sites when standard protocols fail and multiple breaches are imminent. As such, most of their operations are classified. A Cognitohazard is any piece of information that can cause physical harm to someone just by knowing it. A Cognitohazard can be on anything, in pictures, videos, paintings, music, etc. Infohazard is a term used to refer to objects that have an anomalous effect whenever they are referred to or described. Differs from a cognitohazard in that cognitohazards require the anomalous phenomenon to be directly perceived, whereas infohazards may be spread indirectly, simply through people telling each other about them. Because of this, the effects of infohazards are often memetic. All major Foundation sites are to be outfitted with an on-site nuclear warhead. In the case of a major containment breach, where it is believed that anomalies will make mass, and unrecoverable, contact with a baseline human populace, this warhead is to be detonated to ensure the continued success of the Foundation's mission. Each warhead is outfitted with remote detonation capabilities, and, given the proper authorization codes, can be activated at any major Foundation site. However, due to the possibility of communicational interference that could be caused by a containment breach, all warheads may also be activated manually, and on-site. If a warhead is detonated in this manner, it is assumed that the site was under a severe and otherwise irrecoverable containment breach, and thus, there will be no countdown. It is constructed from concrete and rebar with traces of Krylon brand spray paint. SCP-173 is animate and extremely hostile. The object cannot move while within a direct line of sight. Line of sight must not be broken at any time with SCP-173. Personnel assigned to enter container are instructed to alert one another before blinking. Object is reported to attack by snapping the neck at the base of the skull, or by strangulation. The reddish brown substance on the floor is a combination of feces and blood. Origin of these materials is unknown. The enclosure must be cleaned on a bi-weekly basis. Origin of this SCP is as of yet unknown. SCP-079 is an Exidy Sorcerer microcomputer built in 1978. In 1981, a college sophomore took it upon himself to attempt to code an AI. According to his notes, his plan was for the code to continuously evolve and improve itself as time went on. His project was completed a few months later, and after some tests and tweaks, though lost interest and moved on to a different brand of microcomputer. He left SCP-079 in his cluttered garage, still plugged in, and forgot about it for the next five years. It is not known when SCP-079 gained sentience, but it is known that the software has evolved to a point that its hardware should not be able to handle it, even in the realm of fantasy. SCP-079 is currently connected via RF cable to a 13" black-and-white television. It has passed the Turing test, and is quite conversational, though very rude and hateful in tone. Due to the limited memory it has to work with, SCP-079 can only recall information it has received within the previous twenty-four hours (see Addendum, below), although it hasn't forgotten its desire to escape. Due to a containment breach by SCP-███, SCP-079 and SCP-682 were contained within the same chamber for 43 minutes. Observers noticed that SCP-682 was able to communicate with SCP-079, including telling of 'personal stories' between themselves. SCP-682 is a large, vaguely reptile-like creature of unknown origin. It appears to be extremely intelligent, and was observed to engage in complex communication with SCP-079 during their limited time of exposure. SCP-682 appears to have a hatred of all life, which has been expressed in several interviews during containment. SCP-682 has always been observed to have extremely high strength, speed, and reflexes, though exact levels vary with its form. SCP-682's physical body grows and changes very quickly, growing or decreasing in size as it consumes or sheds material. SCP-682 gains energy from anything it ingests, organic or inorganic. Digestion seems to be aided by a set of filtering gills inside of SCP-682's nostrils, which are able to remove usable matter from any liquid solution, enabling it to constantly regenerate from the acid it is contained in. SCP-682's regenerative capabilities and resilience are staggering, and SCP-682 has been seen moving and speaking with its body 87% destroyed or rotted. SCP-682 must be destroyed as soon as possible. At this time, no means available to SCP teams are capable of destroying SCP-682, only able to cause massive physical damage. SCP-682 should be contained within a 5 m x 5 m x 5 m chamber with 25 cm reinforced acid-resistant steel plate lining all inside surfaces. The containment chamber should be filled with hydrochloric acid until SCP-682 is submerged and incapacitated. Any attempts of SCP-682 to move, speak, or breach containment should be reacted to quickly and with full force as called for by the circumstances. Personnel are forbidden to speak to SCP-682, for fear of provoking a rage-state. All unauthorized personnel attempting to communicate to SCP-682 will be restrained and removed by force. Due to its frequent attempts at containment breach, difficulty of containment and incapacitation, and high threat of Foundation Exposure, SCP-682 is to be contained in site 19. The Foundation will use the best of its resources to maintain all land within fifty kilometers clear of human development. In case of containment breach, SCP-682 is to be tracked and re-captured by all available Mobile Task Forces, and no teams with fewer than seven members are cleared to engage it. To date, attempted breaches have numbered at seventeen, while successful breaches have numbered at six. SCP-999 appears to be a large, amorphous, gelatinous mass of translucent orange slime, weighing about 54 kg (120 lbs) with a consistency similar to that of peanut butter. Subject’s size and shape is easily malleable and can change shape at will, though when at rest, SCP-999 becomes a rounded, oblate dome roughly 2 meters wide and 1 meter in height. The surface of SCP-999 consists of a thin, transparent membrane similar to that of an animal cell roughly .5 cm thick, and is highly elastic, allowing SCP-999 to flatten portions of its body up to 2 cm thin. This surface is also hydrophobic, although SCP-999 can willfully absorb liquids. The rest of SCP-999's body is filled with a viscous orange substance of unknown chemical makeup, though it is capable of digesting organic materials with ease. Subject’s temperament is best described as playful and dog-like: when approached, SCP-999 will often react with overwhelming elation, slithering over to the nearest person and leaping upon them, "hugging" them with a pair of pseudopods while nuzzling the person’s face with a third pseudopod, all the while emitting high-pitched gurgling and cooing noises. The surface of SCP-999 emits a pleasing odor that differs with whomever it is interacting with. Recorded scents include chocolate, fresh laundry, bacon, roses, and Play-Doh. Simply touching SCP-999’s surface causes an immediate mild euphoria, which intensifies the longer one is exposed to SCP-999, and lasts long after separation from the creature. Subject’s favorite activity is "tickle-wrestling", often by completely enveloping a person from the neck down and tickling them until asked to stop (though it does not always immediately comply with this request). Though injuries may occur, SCP-999 has never been found to purposefully attempt to harm others, and will immediately back away and contract its body into a quivering mound while gurgling in a matter similar to a whimpering dog, seemingly "apologizing" for hurting someone on accident. While the creature will interact with anyone, it seems to have a special interest in those who are unhappy or hurt in any way. Persons suffering from crippling depression or PTSD, for example, have reported having a far more positive outlook on life after multiple interactions with SCP-999. The possibility of manufacturing antidepressants from SCP-999's slime is currently being discussed. In addition to its playful behavior, SCP-999 seems to love all animals (especially humans), refusing to eat any meat and even risking its own life to save others, on one occasion leaping in front of a person to take a bullet fired at them (subject’s intellect is still up for debate: though its behavior is infantile, it seems to understand human speech and most modern technology, including guns). SCP-999’s diet consists entirely of candy and sweets, with M&M’s and Necco wafers being its favorites. Its eating methods are similar to those of an amoeba. SCP-999 is allowed to freely roam the facility should it desire to, but otherwise must stay in its pen either between 8PM-9PM for sleeping, or during emergency lockdowns for its own safety. Subject is not allowed out of its pen at night or off facility grounds at any time. Pen is to be kept clean and food replaced twice daily. All personnel are allowed inside SCP-999’s holding area, but only if they are not assigned to other tasks at the time, or if they are on break. Subject is to be played with when bored and spoken to in a calm, non-threatening tone. SCP-001, also nicknamed as Awaiting De-classification, is considered to be the most important SCP (or anomaly), and is often world-changing (or ending), or tied to the SCP Foundation itself. Due to this, the actual SCP-001 could be one, several, or none of several dozen proposals. Only the O5 Council and the Administrator are authorized access. In order to prevent knowledge of SCP-001 from being leaked, several/no false SCP-001 files have been created alongside the true file/files. All files concerning the nature of SCP-001, including the decoy/decoys, are protected by a memetic kill agent designed to immediately cause cardiac arrest in any nonauthorized personnel attempting to access the file. Revealing the true nature/natures of SCP-001 to the general public is cause for execution. A "site" refers to a secure facility designated for the containment, research, and management of anomalous entities and phenomena. Each site is equipped with specialized infrastructure and personnel to handle specific types of anomalies, ensuring public safety and advancing scientific understanding. Site-17 is the second largest Foundation facility, primarily focused on the containment and study of low-risk humanoid entities, although the Site has additional capacities for the containment of inanimate objects, non-humanoid creatures, and higher risk anomalies. As per its main focus, Site-17's permanent staff includes a large number of medical and psychiatric professionals, to deal with the unique physical and psychological needs of both the contained anomalies and the on-site staff working in this challenging environment. Site-19 is the largest and one of the most important Foundation facilities currently in operation, housing hundreds of Safe- and Euclid-class anomalies, some located within additional Facilities separate from the main Site. Site-19 also has dedicated laboratories for the processing and storage of Anomalous Items not warranting their own Special Containment Procedures. Site security is prioritized, since the danger of containment breaches is heightened by the large number of anomalous objects contained in one location. Despite these dangers, Site-19 staff are notorious for their casual approach to low-risk anomalies. Keycards are access cards given to Foundation personnel, which are used to gain access to various utilities within the facility and access to different segments of the facility that would otherwise be locked off. Antimemetics, or antimemes, refer to creatures, items, objects, and phenomena that cannot be spread to the public or anybody at all, except those who have taken mnestics. They suppress all information about themselves, affecting the memories of those who come into contact with them, and in some cases, literally take information. The Light Containment Zone is the second zone found in Foundation sites. Sandwiched between Heavy Containment Zone and Entrance Zone. It is primarily used for containment and storage, mostly of lower-level SCP objects, such as SCP-173 and SCP-914. It is characterized by its high roofed, concrete architecture. The Heavy Containment Zone is the third and lowest zone found in Foundation Sites. It is preceded by the Light Containment Zone and followed by the Entrance Zone. It is strictly used for the containment of high-level SCP objects, such as SCP-106 and SCP-049. Due to this, it is constructed with a distinctive rudimentary style, abundant with grimy tunnels and catwalks. Decontamination gas is frequently encountered in the Heavy Containment Zone as part of an extended security protocol. The Entrance Zone is the final and top zone in Foundation Sites. The Light Containment Zone and Heavy Containment Zone precede it. It is dedicated to the research and administrative division of the site and is distinguished by a clean, sterile environment, adorned with white walls and painted orange stripes. Gate A is a single room, containing a large blast door labeled "Gate A", as well as an elevator leading to the surface. It has many extended security measures compared to that of the more minor exits and has several guard towers overlooking an outside bridge. On the lower level, there are several roadways that weave through the entrance of the site. Gate B is found in a single room with a large blast door, with its name labeled above the door. Next to it is an elevator that leads to the surface of Gate B, which consists of some buildings and a long hallway with glass coverings built into the white, snow-covered hillside. MTF are dropped off by helicopter there. An eyepiece that identifies and obscures visual cognitohazards in real-time, enabling the wearer to observe these anomalies without being exposed to their effects. SCRAMBLE gear was originally designed by Dr. Dan and Dr. Oleksei for the containment of SCP-096. A section of an SCP article that either expands on specific aspects of the Description, shows the progression of information over time, or otherwise provides additional information that does not fit into the Description. Addenda can be posted on the main page or in separate supplement pages, and can include Experiment Logs, Exploration Logs, Incident Reports or Interviews. Acroamatic Abatement is the processing of anomalous waste products and esoteric substances produced by anomalies into non-anomalous industrial effluent. In other words, the Foundation's glorified sewer system. The employees working in Acroamatic Abatement takes a surprisingly large amount of pride in their job. The Scranton Reality Anchor is a device that stabilizes reality around it, preventing or restricting reality bending and anomalous interference. Occasionally called a Scranton Box or Scranton Reality Buoy, although that may refer to a somewhat different technology. May function through the use of the brains of captured reality benders, although there are alternative explanations for how they work, including the use of a rare element known as Scrantonite or Scrantonum. The Unusual Incidents Unit was formed after the onset of the Cold War, when many aspects of the American Government were focused on utilizing the anomalous and preventing the communists from doing the same. This led to the creation of a special FBI division devoted to rapid response to paranormal events and crimes. Director J. Edgar Hoover was personally involved with their creation. Although initially given significant funding and resources by the American Government, following the end of the Cold War and the dissolution of enemy organizations such as the GRU-P, the UIU had been in a state of decline for many years. Disparagingly referred to as "X-Files" and "UIUseless" by the larger anomalous community, the agency is generally well meaning, but due to a lack of financial resources, little manpower, and bureaucratic obstruction by the US Government, it is often perceived as ineffective. The influence of the Foundation and Global Occult Coalition in the United States Government has stopped the UIU and other USGOV entities dealing with anomalous activity from being dissolved entirely. The Unusual Incidents Unit has been known to engage in combat alongside and against various anomalous organizations in the past, including participating in several combat operations under Foundation supervision in the 1950s and 1960s. Wilson's Wildlife Solutions is a paranormal publicly funded wildlife service based in Clackamas County, Oregon, specifically in the town of Boring. Although the Foundation has known of Wilson's Wildlife Solutions' existence and anomalous affiliations since 1999, it took nine years until the Ursus Maritimus Incident in 2008, for their existence to be officially recognized and a relationship established between the two groups. Currently the Boring Agreement outlines that Wilson's Wildlife Solutions should be supervised by MTF Beta-4 ("Castaways"), local to Site-64, and that they may handle containment of Safe or Euclid fauna based anomalies with varying degrees of Foundation intervention (on a case to case basis). Amendments to the Boring Agreement can be, and have been, made to account for grey areas or new policies as necessary. Based in the Pacific Northwest, Anderson Robotics first came to the Foundation’s attention in 2007 with the capture of SCP-1360. Lead by Vincent Anderson, and specializing in the sale of anomalous androids, robots, artificial intelligences, and cybernetics, Anderson Robotics has quickly gained a fair amount of traction in the realm of paratechnology. The group's small size, remarkable espionage capabilities, and surprisingly large resource base has made apprehension of any Anderson employee difficult, with only a handful of Anderson products currently in the hands of the Foundation. A memetic kill agent is a memetic hazard with a lethal effect on anyone exposed to it without the appropriate inoculation with a countermeme. It's used to protect SCP-001 and other important data from unauthorized access. A Nexus (plural: Nexuses) is an area/zone that is actively anomalous, and supports a permanent community. Imagine a city like New York, except that perhaps the city never sees the Sun, or people sometimes turn into animals, and that's perfectly normal for them. Normally, the Foundation/GoI would classify these places as SCPs and try to get everyone out and lock the place down. Unfortunately, sometimes that isn't always possible or feasible. Hence, they designate those places as a Nexus. This means that these areas are recognised as places of anomalous activity and left be, albeit under supervision from a GoI or government. They are also hidden from the public, and all evidence of its existence hidden. There are also larger versions of Nexuses, known as Free Ports. These areas are inherently anomalous, often being disconnected from the main world. They act as safe zones where the Veil is not required, as everyone who enters a Free Port knows about the anomalous. Free Ports are usually recognised as sovereign states and are self-managed, albeit with some intervention from federal or international agencies. Most Nexuses have very low population numbers, with the highest being 30,000. A large population would often mean news of the Nexus would be spread around much more. It's also an added bonus to the Foundation, which helps them maintain the Veil easily. A Nexus's anomalies only occur within the confines of the Nexus (or in certain cases, other Nexuses). What happens in the Nexus, stays in the Nexus. Each Nexus has its central theme that encompasses the entire idea of the anomaly in the Nexus. They can exist anywhere in the world, so long as they have around ~25 people at least, and should not match any real-world location. Besides that, you're free to do whatever you want. If you want a Nexus that rains salmon, go ahead. Humes refer to a measure of the "normalcy" or "consistency" of reality. The term comes from the concept of "Hume levels," which are used to describe the fluctuations in reality's stability, often influenced by anomalies, SCPs, or other supernatural forces. High Hume levels indicate that reality is more stable and consistent with the expected laws of physics and nature. Low Hume levels suggest that reality is less stable and that anomalies or deviations from the norm are more likely to occur. In these areas, strange and anomalous events may happen more frequently, and laws of physics may not apply in the usual way.
