SCP fund

Such individuals, if they leave the office, are only accompanied by MTF Alpha-1 "Red Right Hand" to maintain safety (the same applies if they are going to anomalies).

Under the supervision of MTF Alpha-1, Mobile Task Force Epsilon-11 ensures internal security for the SCP Foundation. This team is a special unit deployed to Foundation sites when multiple breaches of containment and standard protocols are unavoidable. For this reason, most reports on operations involving this task force are classified.

Armed Mobile Task Force Nu-7 comprises a battalion of personnel consisting of three special infantry companies, a light armor company, a tank platoon, a helicopter squadron, a CBRN defense platoon, an engineer platoon, a nuclear weapons specialist team, as well as additional combat specialists and support personnel. The group is designed to rapidly respond to incidents involving the loss of communication with key Foundation facilities during a large-scale breach of the OCS, an enemy incursion, or a suspected other catastrophic event.

Mobile Task Force Alpha-1 reports directly to the O5 Council and is deployed in situations requiring the strictest operational secrecy. The task force is comprised of the Foundation's best and most dedicated operatives. Access to any additional information regarding MTF Alpha-1 is restricted to Level 5 clearance.

Mobile Task Force Eta-10 specializes in the detection, acquisition, and containment of objects or subjects posing a visual hazard, visual memetic agents, and other situations where indirect or alternative observation is required for safe interaction.

Mobile Task Force Beta-7 specializes in the capture and containment of anomalies posing a high biological, chemical, or radiological hazard, as well as the rapid containment and cleanup of areas affected by such anomalies. This includes planning and implementing emergency measures against the global or pandemic spread of anomalous pathogens or other infectious phenomena.

The Department of Internal Research and Analysis is a covert unit of highly skilled specialists and analysts who conduct secret experiments on Foundation personnel, the goal of which is to maximize the effectiveness of deterrence. No one ever considers the origins of specific instructions and directives, regulations, and security requirements. Remaining in the shadows, DIRA exerts a tremendous positive influence on the Foundation, mitigating its numerous weaknesses, promptly uncovering and studying them. Any accidental or planned casualties among employees are not considered an obstacle to the Department's experiments; on the contrary, they are a source of invaluable information. This is a case where the end justifies the means.

The SCP Foundation's Internal Tribunal Service is the permanent judicial body of the Organization. Upon submission by the Internal Security Service, this unit reviews the activities of Foundation employees and third parties that fall under the definition of prohibited by the Internal Tribunal Service's Legal Code, which includes the following sections: "I - Crimes against the Organization," "II - Crimes against Humanity and Normalcy," "III - Major Disciplinary Violations," "IV - Preparation for a Class K Event," "U - State and Corporate Crimes," and "M - Other Crimes." For all sections except the fifth (which is administered by the State Security Committee), the Tribunal reserves the right to impose penalties of varying severity. Any decision of the Tribunal may be overturned by the Council.

The SCP Foundation Intelligence Service is tasked with finding, tracking, and capturing uncontained SCP objects, as well as monitoring the activities of organizations hostile to the Foundation. Undercover agent cells are stationed in every major population center on the planet and disguised as civilian facilities and institutions, sometimes using various Front companies. Agents are typically recruited from law enforcement agencies and intelligence services in developed countries.

The Logistics Service is responsible for distributing material, financial and human resources to the Foundation's institutions.

Transportation is carried out using road, water, rail, air, space, and other modes of transport. There is a complex system

setting priorities and importance classes used in the distribution of certain resources; Transported SCP objects of any class and the resources necessary for their containment are generally given top priority. Any obstacles encountered during delivery are resolved first.

The Production Service is responsible for meeting any material requirements that may arise during the capture or containment of objects, or during the execution of other assigned tasks. The Production Service oversees several Zones and Areas, entirely focused on the production of individual and mass-produced items of a wide range. Design and manufacture of items are conducted on-site; for security and secrecy purposes, personnel never leave the industrial Zones, nor do blueprints or schematics leave them. One of the largest industrial facilities in the SCP Foundation is Plant 45. Typically, such facilities are equipped with modern equipment and are well-guarded.

The OCB is a deeply covert "organization within the Organization," analogous to a secret police force, tasked with identifying traitors, as well as frivolous and otherwise unreliable individuals, within the Foundation's ranks. The department maintains a strict hierarchy, ensuring several stages of vetting suspects. Employees recruited to work for the OCB must have a stellar track record and have worked for the Foundation for at least a year. Typically, each recruit remains in their "white" position to keep command informed of developments within a given unit. The very existence of the OCB is usually presented as a fiction. The "legal" side of the Internal Security Department's activities is investigative work and extracting testimony from captured members of hostile groups, but for conspiratorial purposes, this OVB cell officially belongs to the security service.

The External Relations Department's responsibilities include a wide range of tasks: disinformation, eradication of traces of SCP activity and the Organization itself, recruitment of Class 1 personnel, and recruitment of personnel from civilian and military institutions. It is the External Relations Department that develops cover stories for Foundation agents and institutions located in densely populated areas. The External Relations Department is, in a sense, the Foundation's first line of defense, as it filters all new recruits and is responsible for the quality of recruited personnel, acting as a human resources department.

The Administrative Service, headed by Council 05, exercises overall management of all areas of the Foundation's activities at all levels. This service includes all key communications hubs and command centers, each of which is duplicated. The AC also oversees the management of all the Foundation's financial resources, including fund distribution, accounting, budget planning, and so on. Due to its special importance, all employees working here are subject to frequent loyalty checks. In addition to the main departments, the Administrative Service has an internal division responsible for all types of clerical and record-keeping work, as well as archival functions.

The Engineering and Technical Service is responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of all facilities and equipment used within the SCP Foundation. This service is responsible for the design and construction of new Sites, Sectors, Areas, other structures, and internal communication routes, as well as all types of repair and maintenance. Engineering and Technical Service personnel are divided into several departments with varying clearance levels and assignments; employees with higher clearance levels design and construct containment chambers for Keter-class objects and work on other strategic structures.

The Ethics Committee is a small, independent body charged with reviewing special containment procedures and scrutinizing experiments for excessive or improper use of Class 1 personnel and other resources. Although many Foundation employees consider the Committee's very existence a joke, it plays a significant role in the Foundation's life and wields considerable influence.

The SCP Foundation Medical Service is responsible for maintaining all Foundation personnel in good health. Due to the nature of the Foundation's work, medics are regularly confronted with the most difficult and often specific cases of injuries, trauma, infections, and mental disorders, which is why only the best doctors are recruited into the medical service. Some Foundation medics, after a certain period of work, receive one or another additional specialty directly related to the impact of one or another type, for example, memetic.

Due to the specific nature of the SCP Foundation's work, there is a need for numerous specialists with highly specialized skills. This typically applies to SCP objects that require significant efforts for successful containment, as well as an unconventional approach. Mobile Task Forces are formed for these and other purposes. Mobile Task Forces are small teams (usually ten to thirty people, although there are also teams with much larger numbers of operatives) that specialize in specific tasks or dealing with special situations.

The effective work of the scientific service is the cornerstone of the SCP Foundation's activities. The scientific service is engaged in the study of all contained and incoming SCP objects, the development of countermeasures and neutralization measures in case of breaches of containment conditions, and also develops various equipment, devices, drugs and much more for the Organization itself, all of these developments are subsequently transferred to the production service. Only the most outstanding scientists from the most diverse fields of science are selected for the NS.

The Security Service ensures the safety and security of all Foundation facilities and SCP objects, regardless of priority. Security personnel are trained and educated not only in the event of potential SCP containment breaches, but also in the event of external intrusion, sabotage, natural disasters, and other emergencies. Security personnel typically undergo general training before being assigned to a specific facility or Site. Once on-site, they undergo specialized training on how to interact with the specific facility(ies).

Scientists bring one to three D-Classmen, after which, one by one or on command, they begin to interact with the anomaly.

The scientists themselves record data on how the anomaly reacts or what effects it has on the subject. When an anomaly doesn't touch someone, it means it's safe, but if it eats someone, well... Now that's clear, it's cool.

Also, during the experiment, scientists select test subjects (only D-grade students), after which they go to a cell with one or two guards.

The church also rejects modern technology, considering it unsuitable for its god, preferring to use the technologies of the late Industrial Revolution, and the production of these machines is viewed as prayer. Because their implants produce a ticking sound, other sects often call them "nutcrackers." Since most Orthodox also undergo genital replacements, they often deny their sexual identity, and it is noted that members rarely conceive children naturally. Possible origin Although the origin of the church and the religion practiced within is unknown, evidence has been found of its existence dating back to ancient times, and they were then known as the Mekhanites.

Target The Church seeks to restore their god through mechanical and technological means, ranging from machines to reassemble the god to artificial intelligence or robotic bodies for the god to inhabit. However, they believe any constructed object must be perfect and worthy, otherwise their god will not use it. Because they consider the Flesh evil and antithetical to their faith, they view the Sarkic religion as their primary enemy and predict a final battle between the two factions in the near future. However, the Sarkites do not reciprocate the hostility, viewing the Church as simply another enemy, equal to the others. Practices Another common practice performed by the Church is transcending one's body upon achieving inner peace and becoming one with a machine, described as similar to Nirvana. This results in individuals becoming floating, ovoid spheres capable of telepathy and containing mechanisms within, as demonstrated by SCP-1564 and something resembling a mitzvah involving a cannon attached to someone's arm. The Church also appears to believe in the existence of demons, as demonstrated when SCP-3388 hacked a Maxwellist server and one member mistook it for a demon.

Clockwork Orthodox Church The Clockwork Orthodox Church (CO-004B) is an offshoot of the Church of the Broken God, which seeks to augment its bodies with anomalous implants to resemble its god or its ideals. The church is primarily led by a mysterious group known as the "Patriarchate," who sit at the top of the church hierarchy.

The Church of the Broken God is a global religious cult that believes in the superiority of machines and the weakness of flesh and blood. They are among the SCP Foundation's primary enemies, though there have been times when the two groups have collaborated to address mutual threats. The "Broken God" the cult worships is MEKHANE, the central figure in their religion, "The Mechanism." Review The Church of the Broken God worships and participates in a process of mechanization called "Standardization," believing that natural life is inherently evil. Many church members engage in the mechanization of their bodies to improve their appearance in the eyes of their god. After the fall of their empire, their mechanical religion was influenced by other beliefs, particularly Pythagorean cults. Mythology They believe there were two gods: Yaldabaoth, the god of flesh and basic animal instincts, and Mekhane, the god of machines and intellect. Together, they created humanity. Yaldabaoth gave humans their form and bodies. Mekhane gave humans thought and intelligence. Humanity grew powerful and began creating vast civilizations and wondrous machines. Yaldabaoth soon became enraged that humanity was rejecting the instincts he had given them. Yaldabaoth sought to destroy humanity's creations, so that they would return to the animals he had envisioned.

To save humanity, MEKHANE destroyed itself and used its broken body to create a cage for Jaldabaoth. Fragments of MEKHANE fell to Earth in many forms of technology, so that it could one day be repaired. Jaldabaoth left six Archons in the city of Adytum to prepare for when he finally escaped his prison. Now MEKHANE lies broken, waiting for its faithful to reassemble it so it can lead them to glory, while Jaldabaoth rages against the weakening cage, where his children are seeping through the cracks. His faithful prepare for his return so they can return humanity to the Dark Ages.

The Serpent's Hand is a small but dangerous organization responsible for several security breaches. It comprises at least three different members, all of whom have used potentially or actual anomalous objects to infiltrate enemy territory. The total number of members is unknown, as is the level of technology they employ, the possible number of SCP objects in their possession, and the overall threat level. However, it is clear that they are highly coordinated and potentially dangerous. Their leader, known only as "L.S.", is suspected of personal involvement in two security breaches at Foundation sites. Currently, the Organization knows little about the Serpent's Hand, and virtually all known information comes from GOC intelligence. The group appears to accept the existence of paranormal objects and utilizes them; in particular, it appears to utilize sentient humanoid SCPs. The Serpent's Hand sharply criticizes the detention and destruction of such SCPs, particularly those who are fully human and cause little harm.

The group appears to be hostile to the Chaos Insurgency and the IRGC, and extremely hostile to the GOC. All recorded instances of Serpent's Hand members engaging in unjustified brutality involved GOC agents.

The Global Occult Coalition is a networked organization with one primary goal: protecting humanity from paranormal and other threats. Mining and Processing Plant Policy While the interests and objectives of the Foundation and the GOC are similar, they are not unambiguous. In some places, the GOC opposes the Foundation's containment of objects rather than their destruction. The Global Occult Coalition identifies five main categories of paranormal threat entities, based on known information about them. The following format is used when naming threat entities: A three-letter code indicating the threat category. Unique file number. One or more descriptor code words. An unofficial name for a threatening entity. Examples of such categories:

Known Threat Entities (KTEs) are threats that have been clearly identified and targeted for destruction. Unknown Threat Entities (UTEs) are threats whose existence has been confirmed but which have not been identified to a sufficient degree to be eliminated. Probable threatening entities (PTEs) are divided into two categories: entities that may or may not be threatening entities, and threatening entities that may or may not exist based on evidence of paranormal activity. Threat entities whose destruction has been confirmed. Recordings are kept for archival purposes.

The Chaos Insurgency is a group antagonistic to the Foundation. They may conduct raids and terrorist attacks against the Foundation in order to weaken it or acquire SCP objects.

The Chaos Insurgency is a splinter group from the Organization. It emerged when one of its units abandoned its station without authorization in 1924, taking several highly valuable SCP objects with them. Since then, the Insurgency has become a major player on the global stage. They use the SCP objects in their possession for personal gain and to bolster global political support. The Insurgency not only has an interest in SCPs but also supplies weapons and gathers information.

They profit from dictatorial regimes in Third World countries, often exploiting the populations of these countries for the same purposes the Organization uses Class D workers. Therefore, the Rebels strive to maintain extreme poverty and war in these countries so that they can continue to conduct radical experiments, easily recruit soldiers, and make lucrative deals with rebel groups.

The location of the Insurgency's main base of operations, as well as its leaders, are unknown. This group is openly hostile to the Foundation and has clashed with it several times over SCPs. Employees should be aware of the possibility of raids, terrorist actions, and espionage by the Insurgency, and report suspicious behavior to their superiors. A hostile faction from the SCP Foundation universe, a former division of the Foundation itself that broke away to exploit anomalies for its own purposes rather than contain them. They conduct raids to seize SCP objects and liberate D-class personnel for their experiments.

Not contained Objects that are currently uncontained can be assigned any class (e.g., "Keter"). However, if emphasis is needed on the active steps being taken to initially or re-contain, the author may use "Uncontained" as the object class.

Neutralized Neutralized anomalies have lost their anomalous nature due to being accidentally or intentionally destroyed or disabled.

Justified Established objects are articles about anomalies whose nature has been fully established and can be explained from a popular scientific perspective. This category also includes objects whose anomalous origin has been disproved or to which anomalous properties have been mistakenly attributed.

Written off Decommissioned objects are those intentionally destroyed or stripped of their anomalous properties by decision of the Foundation. This class of objects is used only in cases where full containment of the anomaly is impossible, or where containment would require excessive resources, as the Foundation typically focuses on containment rather than neutralization. Decommissioning may also be done for ethical reasons, particularly when containment procedures require inflicting suffering or are insufficiently effective to prevent excessive casualties. To avoid unnecessary losses, decommissioning objects requires approval from higher authorities, such as the O5 Council, the Ethics Committee, or the Decommissioning Department.

Non-system classes Other additional object classes, not listed above, typically contribute to the narrative of a particular article and are used only once, and are therefore called "non-systemic" or "narrative" classes. Non-systemic classes, if used frequently enough, may be included in the list of secondary classes listed above. We strongly recommend using one of the standard object classes listed above; the choice of a non-standard class should be well-justified within the article.

Awaiting appointment This designation is assigned to objects that have not yet been assigned a class, indicating that the Foundation does not have sufficient information about the anomaly at the time of writing. Please note that it should be used to highlight active research, not when the author is unsure what class to assign to the article.

The classes below are used less frequently and are typically assigned to anomalies that require unusual containment conditions.

Thaumiel Thaumiel-class objects are used by the Foundation exclusively to contain other anomalies. Information about the existence of Thaumiel-class objects is classified and accessible only to high-ranking Foundation personnel, while information about the location, functions, and current status of such objects is known to virtually no one outside the O5 Council.

Archon Archon-class objects are anomalies whose containment is theoretically possible, but for whatever reason, it's best not to contain them. Archon-class objects may be part of a consensus reality that is difficult to fully contain, or their containment may have negative consequences. These anomalies are not considered impossible to contain—the primary characteristic of this class is that the Foundation has chosen not to contain the anomaly, even though it could have.

Apollyon Apollyon-class objects are anomalies that are either uncontainable, inevitably breach containment, or are expected to follow a similar scenario. Such anomalies are typically associated with end-of-the-world threats or K-Class Events and require significant Foundation efforts to eliminate.

Ticonderoga Ticonderoga-class objects are impossible to contain, but they are not necessary. These anomalies are similar to Archon-class objects in that their containment is optional, but differ in that the Foundation currently lacks the resources and expertise to contain them due to their widespread occurrence on Earth. Furthermore, their existence or anomalous nature is incomprehensible to the general public. The Ticonderoga class can also be assigned to objects located in space, inaccessible to the Foundation.

Most of the objects in the Organization database belong to these classes, so they are the most common.

Safe Safe-class objects are anomalies that are easiest to contain without consequences. These objects are sufficiently well-studied to be contained without significant expense, or they exhibit no anomalous effects without a specific external stimulus or intentional activation. Designating an anomaly as Safe does not mean that its activation or handling is safe.

Euclid Euclid-class objects are poorly understood or inherently unpredictable anomalies whose reliable containment is not always possible or requires greater costs than that of "safe" objects. Since this is a fairly broad definition, if an anomaly doesn't fit into one of the main classes, it will likely fit into the Euclid class.

In particular, all anomalies that can be called intelligent are most often assigned a class no lower than "Euclid", since an object endowed with its own will or thinking is essentially unpredictable.

Keter Keter-class objects are anomalies whose permanent or reliable containment is difficult to achieve and requires complex containment procedures. Often, such objects cannot be fully contained because the Organization lacks an understanding of the anomaly or the technology to counteract and contain it. "Keter" does not always denote danger, but rather that the object is extremely difficult to contain or requires significant resources.

Main classes:

If you put an object in a box, put it away, and nothing bad happens, then it is most likely Safe;

If you put an object in a box, put it away, and you can't tell in advance what will happen, then it's probably Euclid;

If you put an object in a box, put it away, and it comes out easily, then it must be Keter;

If the object is a box, then it is none other than Thaumiel.

Others:

If an object needed a box, but the need for it is no longer there, then it is Neutralized.

If this happened at the behest of the Foundation, then most likely it was written off;

If it turns out that the object did not need the box initially, then this is Justified;

If an object can't be put into a box and is about to destroy the world, it is, of course, Apollyon;

If an object can be put into a box, but this was not done, it is probably an Archon;

If you can't fit an object into a box, and it's not really necessary, then it's Ticonderoga;

If you haven't yet decided exactly which box to put the object in, then it is Awaiting Assignment.

The doors themselves are made of metal, they are durable, and to open them you need a key card of a certain level, which are divided into five types!

A level 1 keycard is used only by cleaners, as logically they only clean and that's it. Because they can, at the request of someone high up, ask themselves to open a door under surveillance. If someone tries to open a door that accepts level 4 or 5 keycards, an error will occur and the door won't open. Level 2-3 Key Card - [unknown], and they are in the warehouse where you can open the key card at level 3-4 and 5! Level 4 Keycard – Used by scientists and security guards, it can open doors of levels 1, 2, 3, and 4, but not doors of levels 5 or higher! An error will occur. The Level 5 keycard is used only by the administration, opening all doors of different levels, even special ones. To be more precise, the Level 5 keycard opens the doors to the O5 office itself and other doors with dangerous anomalies. Special key cards - used by the MTF or another organization with the permission of the fund (and even without, not according to the fund's records)

What is an object class?

The object class is part of the standard article template and is also a rough indicator of how dangerous and difficult to contain the object is.

What is the Box Rule?

The box rule is a semi-official rule for determining which class is most appropriate for an object (see the cheat sheet at the beginning of the article).

It's worth noting that anything autonomous, living, and/or intelligent almost always receives at least a "Euclid" rating. In other words, if you lock something living in a box and put it away, sooner or later it will suffocate or die of hunger or thirst, and such an outcome is undesirable. Something endowed with intelligence may find a way out of containment or stop cooperating, which would greatly complicate containment.

I found an object with an incorrect class, what should I do?

The boundaries between classes are intentionally vague so as not to restrict the creative freedom of authors; a rigid and regimented class system can hinder authors from writing as they see fit, and for this reason, several proposals to formalize the category system have already been rejected by the SCP Wiki administration.

If you encounter an object whose class you believe is incorrectly identified, you can raise the issue in the original article (not the translation) and see how other participants react. If you're not satisfied with the explanation, you can also express your opinion on the forum and by voting on the article.

If an object is very dangerous, should its class be higher?

No, danger is not a factor in assigning a particular class. As has been noted repeatedly above, an object's class depends on the complexity of its contents, not the danger it poses. For example, a button that, when pressed, could destroy the entire universe would be "Safe," while a cat that randomly swaps with other cats anywhere on earth would be "Keter."

Each SCP is a standalone story, written as a "secret report".

There are crossovers and hidden storylines (for example, about the war between the Global Occult Coalition, the Foundation and other organizations).

There are topics of philosophy: what does “anomaly” mean, the ethics of experiments, sacrifices for the sake of humanity.

Each "anomalous creature or object" is given a code: SCP-XXX. They are treated strictly, only the white camera. They are all in isolation They have different classes. Each anomaly has its own chamber (THIS IS NOT LIKE IN A SMALL APARTMENT OR IN A HOTEL BUT SIMPLY A WHITE OR BLACK CHAMBER), where there are also these protectively strong metal doors and they are also opened by different levels of key cards EXCEPT FOR THE FIRST one, it does not work on the doors where SCP anomalies or a weapons warehouse are located.

Class D personnel are prisoners sentenced to death. They are used for dangerous experiments. They almost always die. They are treated strictly. THEY ARE PRISONERS, they have a separate sector where there are similarities, only people sentenced to life imprisonment there. THEY HAVE NO ELITE ROOMS or small apartments, only a bunk with a thin sheet, a pillow, and a thin blanket. At most, there's a small sink and a toilet. The doors are metal and open with a key card from levels one to five. They have no freedom in this place:)

Scientists and researchers study SCP objects, write reports, and develop containment methods. They also lead D-grade students to experiments, optionally. They send D-grade students to SCP experiments to test anomalies' abilities and strength.

Security – maintains order within the complex and protects scientists. They also prevent D-classes from escaping during experiments, and follow the scientist/scientists to quickly respond to danger. Some also sometimes guard the chamber for dangerous SCP anomalies.

The MTF (Mobile Task Force) are elite special forces. The most famous is the Nine-Tailed Fox, which usually appears when an SCP anomaly has escaped.

The Administrators / O5 Council are the highest-ranking officials in the Foundation. Their identities are classified. They run everything. They know everything about anomalies.

The SCP Foundation is a secret organization that exists "behind the scenes" of the ordinary world. Its main goal is: Secure, Contain, Protect. Secure - find and isolate the anomaly. Contain - keep it in special conditions so that it does not cause harm. Protect - to protect humanity and the Foundation itself.
