the SCP investigators

The SCP Foundation is a secret international organization dedicated to locating, containing, and studying anomalies: objects, creatures, locations, phenomena, or entities that defy the known laws of reality. Its motto is "Secure, Contain, Protect," reflecting its primary mission to keep humanity safe from anomalous threats and prevent knowledge of these threats from causing global chaos.

The Foundation operates through a vast network of Sites, Areas, laboratories, security forces, and specialized personnel. Its members include researchers, doctors, engineers, field agents, Mobile Force soldiers, administrators, and Class D personnel used for high-risk testing.

Each anomaly is given an SCP designation followed by a unique number and a classification indicating the difficulty or complexity of its containment. Some anomalies are harmless or even beneficial, while others can pose risks capable of destroying cities, altering reality, or threatening the very existence of the universe.

Although the Foundation presents itself as a protector of humanity, its methods are often morally ambiguous. Absolute secrecy, dangerous experimentation, and sacrifices deemed necessary to ensure collective survival generate constant ethical conflicts within the organization.

Entities are categorized as "safe" when they are easy to contain or docile. "Euclid" when they are not easy or difficult to contain, but rather when their thoughts are unknown. "Keter" when the entities are truly dangerous and aggressive.
