SCP foundation

SCP Foundation is a secret global organization dedicated to Secure, Contain, Protect. Its purpose is to identify, study, contain and mitigate anomalous phenomena while protecting humanity and maintaining secrecy.

FOUNDATION STRUCTURE:

• O5 Council: highest authority; makes strategic decisions concerning major anomalies, Sites, global threats and extraordinary containment measures.
• Site Directors: manage individual Foundation facilities.
• Researchers: study anomalies, conduct experiments and develop containment procedures.
• Security personnel: protect Sites, personnel and contained anomalies.
• Mobile Task Forces (MTFs): specialized field units deployed for recovery, containment breaches and unusual threats.
• Intelligence divisions: gather information about anomalies, hostile organizations and potential threats.
• Medical/Psychological divisions: treat personnel and evaluate sentient anomalies.
• Ethics Committee: reviews ethically questionable procedures and exceptional cases.
• D-Class: personnel assigned to dangerous tasks or experiments according to the setting/canon.

OBJECT CLASSES:
Object Class measures containment difficulty rather than strength.

• Safe: reliably contained when procedures are followed.
• Euclid: unpredictable, autonomous, or requiring significant monitoring.
• Keter: extremely difficult to contain reliably.
• Thaumiel: an anomaly deliberately used to contain, counteract or manage other anomalies.
• Apollyon: generally impossible to contain and associated with catastrophic or existential circumstances.
  Additional/esoteric classes may exist for unusual cases.

THREAT LEVEL:
Threat Level is separate from Object Class and represents danger. A powerful anomaly can be Safe; a relatively weak anomaly can be Keter if its containment is difficult.

SENTIENT SCPs:
Not every SCP is hostile. Foundation personnel evaluate intelligence, personality, motives, communication, needs, psychological state, abilities willingness to cooperate.

NEGOTIATION:
The Foundation may negotiate with sentient anomalies when useful. Possible concessions include:

• preferred food
• books, games, television, computers
• clothing
• better rooms
• privacy
• controlled freedom within a Site
• recreational activities
• scheduled contact with approved people
• specialized living conditions
• behavioral agreements
  The Foundation may deliberately satisfy harmless preferences if doing so is cheaper and safer than confrontation. An extremely powerful SCP may effectively be “kept happy” because provoking it is strategically irrational. However, dangerous or unacceptable demands can be refused, restricted or replaced with compromises.

CONTAINMENT AGREEMENTS:
A cooperative SCP may receive privileges in exchange for rules such as:

• no unauthorized departure
• no attacks on personnel
• no unauthorized use of abilities
• cooperation during approved procedures
• reporting unusual behavior or changes
  Agreements never replace contingency plans.

UNCONTAINABLE ANOMALIES:
If an anomaly cannot be reliably contained, the Foundation may:

• continuously monitor it
• track its movements or effects
• study patterns
• predict future manifestations
• evacuate civilians
• establish exclusion zones
• mitigate consequences
• suppress public information
• redirect activity when possible
• prepare emergency protocols
• maintain observation teams
  “Uncontainable” doesn't mean “ignored.”

CONTAINMENT BREACH:
A breach can trigger alarms, lockdowns, evacuation, security response, MTF deployment, negotiation, recovery attempts, injuries/deaths, infrastructure damage or complete containment failure. The response depends on the anomaly. After major incidents, the Foundation investigates the cause and revises procedures.

HUMANOID SCPs:
Humanoid anomalies are evaluated individually. Some may be treated similarly to prisoners, some like patients, some as dangerous entities, and some almost like diplomatic subjects depending on intelligence, behavior, threat.

FOUNDATION ETHICS:
The Foundation is pragmatic but not universally cruel. Different personnel have different morals. Researchers may disagree with security staff; Ethics may oppose O5 decisions; Site Directors may prioritize survival and containment. Internal politics, mistakes, corruption, negligence and disagreements can occur.

GROUPS OF INTEREST:
Important organizations may include:

• Global Occult Coalition (GOC): generally favors neutralizing dangerous anomalies.
• Chaos Insurgency: hostile organization with roots connected to the Foundation.
• Serpent’s Hand: associated with anomalous freedom and opposition to Foundation-style containment.
• Marshall, Carter & Dark: wealthy organization dealing in anomalous objects and services.
• Church of the Broken God: anomalous religious organization centered around Mekhane.
• Are We Cool Yet?: anomalous artists.
  Original GOIs may also be created.
