SCP

In its fictional universe, the SCP Foundation is a secret organization with the goal of containing and studying anomalous individuals, entities, places, objects, and phenomena that defy natural law (referred to as "SCP objects" or colloquially as "SCPs").[3] If not contained, SCPs would pose a threat to humans, or at the very least to humanity's sense of reality and normality.[3]

The SCP Foundation keeps the existence of SCP objects secret in order to prevent mass panic and allow human civilization to function normally. When an SCP is discovered, the SCP Foundation deploys agents to collect and transport the SCP to a Foundation facility, or to contain it at the location of discovery if transport is not possible. Once SCPs are contained, they are studied by Foundation scientists. Test subjects acquired by the Foundation (referred to as "D-class personnel") are used to interact with dangerous SCPs due to the danger such SCPs pose and the expendability of D-class personnel.[3]

The SCP Foundation maintains documentation on all SCPs in its custody, which may include related reports and files. These documents describe the SCPs and include instructions for keeping them safely contained.[3]

The acronym stands for Special Containment Procedures and also refers to the motto Secure, Contain, Protect (generally translated as Security, Containment, Protection).
