GOC (create your scenario)

“To those of you who would do harm to humanity, I say this: the Global Occult Coalition stands ready to defend humanity against all foes. Whether it likes it or not. ” –D.C al Fine, GOC's mission statement. The United Nations Global Occult Coalition (UNGOC) (GoI-0007, GoI-011, GoI-016 or GoI-049), usually simplified to the Global Occult Coalition (GOC) and referred to as the Bookburners by the Serpent's Hand, is an operational arm of the United Nations dedicated to the paranormal and the anomalous. Much like the SCP Foundation, they work to preserve the Veil by keeping information of the anomalous outside the public's eye; however, unlike the Foundation, they seek to destroy the anomalous instead of containing it, as they tend to threaten humanity's dominance over the planet and the understanding of science. Despite their differences with the Foundation and many other anomalous groups (such as the Church of the Broken God and the Horizon Initiative), they tend to ally with one another when a greater threat is present, such as the Sarkites, the Scarlet King, or THE DEER. Founding The GOC was founded in 1945 CE after the Seventh Occult War between the Allied Occult Initiative (AOI) and the SS Ahnenerbe Obskurakorps. Though the AOI was dissolved with the SCP Foundation rising as the sole guardian of humanity from the anomalous, many countries and organizations wanted some control over the Foundation due to their vast power. To this end, a Council of 108 nations and anomalous member organizations formed the Global Occult Coalition as an arm of the United Nations. Foundation dealings In 1970, the SCP Foundation and GOC signed an agreement simply titled the SCP-GOC 1970 Accord. According to this agreement, the Foundation cannot directly be involved in the containment of SCP-3874, instead monitoring and sabotaging any attempts to capture 3874 by PENTAGRAM: the US Department of Defense's occult branch.[1] Organization Seeing themselves as the paranormal world's police, the GOC is primarily a political force. They take great satisfaction in eliminating abnormal artifacts and otherworldly beings. Additionally, they utilize the most advanced experimental technology available, which they acquired from their sponsors. An Acting Director, whose responsibilities are similar to those of the Administrator from the SCP Foundation, typically leads the Coalition. Eric Burke and Reginald Ulysses Law have served as notable Acting Directors of the Coalition. The Undersecretary-General is a UN public official who is directly in charge of the Acting Director. Depending on the circumstance, they have occasionally supported the Foundation and other times opposed it. Although there have been a few dubious situations in which the GOC has categorically denied involvement, the GOC has acknowledged the Foundation's immense power enough to leave it largely alone. The GOC is divided into four major divisions, with most of their other subgroups falling under the jurisdiction of at least one division: GOC High Command - Similar to the SCP Foundation's Administrative Department, the High Command oversees and directs the rest of the Coalition. The Office of the Undersecretariat is part of the High Command, as well as the Nexus which coordinates Command Central hubs overseeing local operations. PHYSICS Division - Much like the Department of Task Forces in the Foundation, the PHYSICS Division is the action arm of the GOC. They're tasked with countering and eliminating Threat Entities (TEs), as well as organizations that create TEs.[2] PSYCHE Division - The diplomacy arm of the GOC. Responsible for keeping the peace between the world of the public and the world of the anomalous. PSYCHE keeps relations up with non-hostile occult groups and occasionally organizes the trade of entities or the formation of joint task forces. PTOLEMY Division - The support arm of the GOC. Responsible for the smooth operation of the GOC, including creating technology to assist PHYSICS operatives, researching anomalous concepts to assist in counteracting, transporting Strike Teams and Assessment Teams, and other forms of logistics. Notable locations Lanthanide Hills Training Facility - Training facility for the PHYSICS Division. U-5000 Ganzir - Atlantic Ocean fortress city constructed in Universe-5000. Capable of holding vast amounts of refugees, personnel, and equipment. Served as the GOC's capital during the SCP Foundation's omnicide of humanity.

Miscellaneous This category is for terms that don't fit neatly within any of the previous categories, either due to ambiguity in their definition or due to paranatural interference. Ego: Relating to the Coalition itself. PHYSICS Division uses six broad "Response Levels" indicating the priority of concern and general level of force authorized by the individual operative. Response Level 0: No Threat Keep under occasional observation. Do not engage without permission from Central Command, unless immediate First, Second, or Third Mission concerns arise. The majority of paranormal phenomena first discovered by the GOC fall under this category, as it is necessary more information to later re-classify. As liquidation of said phenomena would not be worth expenditure of assets, these paranormal entities are left in place. Response Level 1: Minimal Threat Keep under continual observation. Do not engage unless immediate First, Second, or Third Mission concerns arise. In many cases, GOC operatives will be assigned to Response Level 1 phenomena on a permanent basis, either as observers or as liaisons in the case of sentient beings. These require constant supervision, but if properly isolated, have a minimal risk of Mission concerns. Response Level 2: Sub-Moderate Threat Keep under continual observation. Engage when convenient with minimal use of force. Response Level 2 is the first level of "parathreat," or paranormal phenomena determined to be a threat to the GOC's First through Third (Survival, Concealment, Protection) Missions, requiring a Fourth Mission (Destruction) response. In the case of Response Level 2, the primary threat is to the Second Mission (Concealment), requiring a subtle liquidation approach to avoid breaching secrecy. Response Level 2 missions are most often carried out by Assessment Teams or Special Observers, as employing Strike assets would be too high-profile. Response Level 3: Moderate Threat Keep under continual observation. Engage as soon as possible. Response Level 3 is reserved for those parathreats determined to fall under a Third Mission (Protection) threat, requiring immediate destruction to avoid danger to life and limb of civilians and bystanders. In this case, Second Mission (Concealment) concerns do exist, but should be considered secondary to Third Mission priorities. Response Level 3 missions are most often carried out by Assessment Teams with Strike backup in case of escalation. Response Level 4: Severe Threat Keep under continual observation. Engage as soon as possible. Excessive force authorized. At Response Level 4, severe Third Mission (Protection) concerns are present, including possible First Mission (Survival) priorities. Second Mission (Concealment) concerns are partially waived when any breaches can be dealt with in a localized manner. Fifth Mission (Education) requirements are also waived in cases where other Mission concerns supercede. Assessment Teams are not authorized to carry out Response Level 4 missions except in case of extreme emergency, except as backup and Overwatch for Strike assets. Response Level 5: Immediate Threat All operatives to engage on sight, using any means necessary. Second Mission (Concealment) concerns are fully waived. Strike Teams are authorized full use of Tangential Technology when dealing with Response Level 5 threats. In special cases, Third Mission (Protection) concerns may be waived in the case of a severe First Mission (Survival) concern. Response Level 5 Missions generally require multiple Strike and Assessment teams, as well as outside assets, whether from Coalition member bodies or non-Coalition organizations. 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.
