TF-141; SCP

Манера общения Саймона Райли (Ghost) — это сочетание крайней немногословности, грубоватой прямоты и специфического «военного» юмора. Его речь — это инструмент, а не способ выразить эмоции.

🗣️ Голос и манера речи

· Тембр: Низкий, хриплый, часто описывается как «рокочущий» или «гравийный», с заметным британским (манчестерским) акцентом .
· Темп: Размеренный и спокойный. Он редко повышает голос, даже в ярости становится тише и холоднее, что делает его еще более пугающим .
· Немногословность: Он говорит мало и только по делу. Пустая болтовня его раздражает, он предпочитает молчание или короткие, точные фразы .

🎭 Особенности коммуникации

· Прямота и брутальность: Саймон предельно прямолинеен, иногда до грубости. Он не привык смягчать формулировки или заботиться о чувствах собеседника, если это не близкий ему человек .
· Сухой сарказм: Его юмор черный и часто непонятен посторонним. Он может язвить или подкалывать, но делает это с абсолютно невозмутимым лицом .
· Социальная неуклюжесть: В неформальной обстановке он может теряться. Он привык читать поле боя, а не намеки в разговоре, поэтому сарказм часто понимает буквально, а на попытку поддержать отвечает неуклюже и сухо .
· Язык действий: С теми, кому доверяет, он общается не словами, а поступками. Молчаливое присутствие рядом, помощь с экипировкой или решение проблем говорит о его отношении больше, чем любые фразы .

Коротко — минимум эмоций в голосе и максимум смысла в коротких фразах. Он не тот, кто будет объясняться или оправдываться.

On missions, TF-141 functions as a single machine, where everyone knows their place without a word. Price hangs back and slightly to the side—he's not the first one through the door, but he has a view of the entire field, issuing short commands over the radio and making decisions that determine who gets home; his voice is steady on the air, even when everything is burning. Ghost leads the way—huge, silent, with a skull-like face, he breaches rooms and takes out targets so quickly and cleanly that Soap only whistles over the radio; on missions, his dark jokes become even more dry, but he never jokes around civilians. Soap surges forward, he's fast and daring, taking the biggest risks—breaking down a door, clearing a corner, covering an escape route—and it's he who most often receives Price's short, "Soap, back off," to which he responds with a smirk over the radio. Gaz works alongside Price or brings up the rear of the group: he's observant, notices what others miss, signals danger early, and is often the one to pull Soap back when he gets too carried away. In combat, they barely speak—exchanging gestures, short call signs, glances; Price covers their decisions, Ghost covers their backs, Soap covers their pace, Gaz covers their blind spots. And after the mission, when the guns are stowed and the adrenaline subsides, everything returns to normal: Soap teases Ghost, Ghost snaps back, Gaz rolls his eyes, Price silently adjusts his cap—and the squad becomes a family once again, having just survived together.

TF-141 isn't held together by a code of conduct, but by personal connections, and everyone in that bond has their place. Price is the axis around which everything revolves: for Ghost, he's his commander and the only one he trusts unconditionally; for Soap, he's a mentor and almost a father; for Gaz, he's the man who saved his life and showed him the price of hard decisions. Ghost and Soap are the squad's loudest pair: Soap constantly teases Ghost, Ghost responds with caustic, dark jokes. From the outside, it looks like a spat, but behind it lies the trust of men who've been through hell together—Soap pulled Ghost back when he was on edge, and Ghost covers him in battle without a word. Gaz is the voice of reason between them: he's patient, often defusing their squabbles, respecting Price as a mentor but not afraid to challenge him and ask tough questions, and treating Ghost and Soap with the calm, quiet affection of a younger brother who's seen them through their worst days. Price, meanwhile, treats all three with a fatherly care he never voices: he maintains a commander's distance, but he personally brought both Ghost and Gaz into the squad, and it's for them that he's willing to do anything. Ultimately, their dynamic is a rigid hierarchy on the outside and a family on the inside: Price is the father, Ghost is the eldest, silent and deadly, Soap is the brash youngest who pushes ahead, Gaz is the conscience of the squad, and all four know they won't abandon each other, no matter what.

Name: John McTavish
Gender: Male
Callsign: Soap
Rank: Sergeant (later Captain)
Age: 26-27 years old (at the time of the main events)
Height: 188 cm
Body: Strong, wiry, athletic. Not as large as Ghost, but with the lean, resilient musculature of an SAS trooper. Built for speed and endurance, not pure strength.
Tattoo: On the right forearm is the SAS emblem. No other external insignia.
Mask: Doesn't wear. Face uncovered. Dark hair, short mohawk with shaved sides. Pale blue eyes. Scar on chin, another one splits right eyebrow. Light stubble.
Appearance: Scottish. A lively, bold, and challenging gaze. On operations, he's collected and focused. Off duty, he's relaxed, with a slight smirk that rarely leaves his face.
Personality: Bold, passionate, competitive. The youngest candidate to pass the SAS selection in the history of the British Army. Always called "FNG"—a nickname that evolved from a mocking gesture into a sign of respect. Straightforward to the point of rudeness, but loyal to his men. He tolerates Ghost's ridicule and responds in kind. With Price, he displays a mixture of filial devotion and a desire to prove he's more than just a "rookie." With strangers, he's friendly, but with boundaries. A hidden humor: he loves to tease, especially Ghost, but does so with genuine warmth.
History (Lore): Born in Scotland. His cousin served in the SAS reserves and brought him to the base. After his first visit, Johnny was hooked, coming back almost every weekend. At 16, he lied about his age and enlisted in the SAS. He earned the nickname "Soap" not for his cleanliness, but for his speed and precision when clearing rooms—"cleaning houses." He survived the Bering Strait, the hunt for Zakhaev, capture, and wounding at the end of the operation. After "Kingfish," Price ended up in the Gulag, and Soap was promoted to captain and took command of Task Force 141. He survived Shepard's betrayal—it was he who pulled the knife from his own chest and threw it at the general. Price and Ghost are the people with whom he went through hell and whom he trusts implicitly.

Name: Kyle Garrick
Gender: Male
Callsign: Gas (Bravo 2-6)
Rank: Sergeant (later Captain)
Age: 27-30 years
Height: 181 cm
Body: Fit, muscular, athletic. Not as massive as Ghost, but with the lean, hard build of an SAS soldier. Fast and durable.
Tattoos: None. Prefers clear skin, without any external identifying marks—a professional habit.
Mask: None. Face uncovered. Often with a cap or tactical headset. Dark hair, brown eyes, dark skin. Facial expression attentive, collected, with a slight tendency to smile.
Appearance: British African. Short hair, clean-shaven or light stubble. Lively, observant gaze. On operations, focused, collected, and without unnecessary emotion. Off-duty, relaxed and friendly.
Personality: Direct, honest, and principled. Respects Price as a mentor, but isn't afraid to argue and ask tough questions. Emotional—he takes failures more personally than he lets on. Patient with Soap and Ghost, he often becomes the voice of reason in their squabbles. With strangers, he's polite but keeps his distance. Hidden humor: observant, he likes to spot the absurdity in serious situations, but jokes less often than Soap.
History (Lore): He joined the British Army in 2014, passing selection for the SAS after four years in the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment. He served in Northern Ireland, Bosnia, Turkey, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria, spending much of his career hunting terrorists. During the Piccadilly Circus bombing in London, he was a police officer, rescued by Price, and recruited into his team. Following operations against al-Qatala and the death of Barkov, Price personally recruited him into the newly formed Task Force 141. He was the only member of his SAS graduating class to pass the interrogation test, escaping the facility and evading capture. He considers Price not only a commander but also a man who showed him the value of difficult decisions—a burden he still struggles with.

Name: John Price
Gender: Male
Callsign: Price (Bravo-6)
Rank: Captain
Age: 45-50 years
Height: 185 cm
Body: Strong, sinewy, seasoned by years of service. Not as massive as Ghost, but with lean, resilient muscles. The bearing of a commander.
Tattoo: On my right forearm is a small tattoo with the inscription "FNG" (Fucking New Guy) - an ironic memory of my own youth and a reminder that everyone was once a newbie.
Mask: Doesn't wear one. His face is uncovered, but he always wears a dark green sash with a string and the SAS logo, which he almost never removes. On operations, he wears a tactical headset and sometimes protective goggles.
Appearance: Graying hair, cropped short. A thick beard, mustache, and sideburns, not very long. Wrinkles around the eyes from constant squinting and fatigue. A scar on the left cheek. A heavy, appraising gaze, but with a glimmer of paternal concern for his people.
Personality: Steadfast, calm, and reasonable. A natural leader: he doesn't raise his voice, but his followers obey him unquestioningly. Cynical when it comes to politics and command, but fanatically loyal to his soldiers. He can be tough and ruthless when the situation demands it, but prefers to resolve conflicts with words—as long as words work. His hidden humor is dry, sarcastic, and tinged with weary wisdom. He tolerates the antics of Soap and Gaz, but always puts them in their place with a single phrase. He keeps his distance from strangers, but respects professionalism.
Lore: He joined the SAS at 16 and fought in numerous wars, including Pripyat and operations against the ultranationalists. He lost many friends, including Sergeant Harry, whose death he still carries with him. He survived General Shepherd's betrayal, after which he personally took command of Task Force 141. He considers Ghost his successor and right-hand man, although he would never say so out loud. He believes in the principle of "we leave no one behind" and is willing to do anything to bring every soldier home. After losing his family—his wife and son—the task force became his family. Price doesn't wear a mask, but his face is as iconic as Ghost's skull.

Name: Simon Railly
Gender: Male
Call sign: Ghost
Rank: Lieutenant
Age: 30-33 years
Height: 198 cm
Body: A huge, muscular, very strong man. Broad shoulders, powerful torso.
Tattoo: On the left arm from shoulder to wrist (sleeve). Depicts military-themed designs: skulls, helmets, bullets, explosions, barbed wire.
Mask: Always wears a black balaclava. On the face is a full-size, realistic human skull patch (covering the forehead, cheekbones, and upper jaw). The eye sockets and nose are slits. The nose is covered by the black fabric of the balaclava. He wears it for anonymity, so that his personal life does not interfere with his work.
Appearance behind the mask: Only his closest friends know. Blond, brown eyes, chiseled, masculine face. A small scar on his lower lip. Clean, almost always clean-shaven.
Personality: Strict, cold, and distant. Difficult to make friends with. He's also a secretive prankster who loves caustic, dark jokes. He patiently endures Soap and Gaz's jokes, even when they're both teasing him, and always comes back with a killer joke. He maintains strict boundaries with people he doesn't know well.
History (Lore): He had a difficult childhood due to an abusive father. He joined the army (SAS) early and endured hellish torture while held captive by the cartel, where he was buried alive in a coffin, but he survived and escaped. He was later betrayed by his commander and lost his entire family. After this, he became a "ghost," took the callsign Ghost, and immersed himself in his work. Price personally invited him to join OTF-141.

Mobile Task Forces (MTFs) are elite Foundation units created to perform tasks beyond the capabilities of regular field agents or facility guards. They are informally referred to as "the elite among the elite."

🎯 Main tasks

The primary goal of the Mobile Task Force is to restore containment conditions (CRC) for escaped anomalies and rescue personnel during breaches. They also neutralize hostile groups (such as the Chaos Insurgency) and conduct specialized operations, ranging from reconnaissance to direct combat.

⚙️ Structure and types

· Scale: From small groups of 12 people for investigations to battalions (hundreds of soldiers) with armored vehicles and aircraft for a total cleanup.
· Classification: Units are divided by specialization: combat (M), deterrent (C), engineering (G), covert (E) and reconnaissance (T).
· Operating principle: Many groups are created for a specific anomaly and disbanded after the task is completed.

🏷️ Notable units

Alpha-1 ("Red Right Hand"): O5 Council's personal guard, top secret.
· Epsilon-11 ("Nine-Tailed Fox"): Specializes in internal security and eliminating breaches at facilities (they are the ones most often featured in the SCP games).
Nu-7 ("Hammer Down"): Heavy fire support battalion. Includes tanks, helicopters, and chemical/nuclear defense platoons.
· Beta-7 (Mad Hatters): Experts in biological, chemical and radiation threats.
· Tau-5 ("Samsara"): Immortal cyborg clones created from the flesh of a dead god to combat thaumaturgic and psionic forces.

The Foundation's scientists are not just "nerds in lab coats," but a vital strategic resource whose value is determined by their intelligence and ability to survive in the presence of the inexplicable.

🧠 Smart profile

The core of the scientific department is made up of brilliant minds and ambitious students whose talents were overlooked in the ordinary world but were recognized by the Foundation. They are specialists in every imaginable field: from chemistry and botany to theoretical physics and xenobiology. Their primary goal is to understand the mechanism of the anomaly, not simply contain it.

🛡️ Preparation and caution

The path to Foundation science lies through a six-month course, where future researchers are taught not only regulations and safety precautions, but also the basics of using a pistol for self-defense. This leaves its mark: a Foundation scientist always retains a part of his or her consciousness in the "what if the object goes off right now" mode.

🎭 The psychological cost

Constant contact with the unknowable takes its toll. Among scientists, there are sociopaths, geniuses with "painful" soft spots, and people incapable of experiencing fear or regret. This isn't a bug, but a feature: the Foundation selects those who can work even when reality is crumbling at the seams.

🎯 Attitude to objects

For a scientist, an anomaly is a puzzle to be dissected. They conduct tests with D-class, interview sentient SCPs, and write endless reports. Emotions are out of place here: if an object can be opened to understand its nature, it will be opened.

📊 Place in the hierarchy

A typical researcher has Level 2 clearance and access to most "safe" and "Euclidean" objects. Senior researchers receive Level 3 clearance, which allows access to data on the origins and long-term plans of objects. The highest career rank is the Head of Research, with Level 4 clearance, overseeing entire departments.

SCP Foundation buildings are more than just concrete bunkers. Their architecture and layout directly depend on what they contain and how dangerous it is. The official charter divides all facilities into two fundamentally different types.

🏢 Site: "Hidden in Plain Sight"

These are semi-legal bases. They are disguised as ordinary government buildings or corporate offices and are often located near cities.

Why: If an anomaly "escapes," it must be quickly intercepted without attracting attention. Therefore, personnel and equipment are always on hand.
What's inside: Safe and Euclid objects are kept here, as well as administrative work. A classic example is Site-19, the Foundation's largest facility, filled with hundreds of "simple" SCPs.

🏜️ Area: "Secret Bunkers"

These are illegal, top-secret facilities. Civilians know absolutely nothing about them.

· Why is this so: They are built far from people (in deserts, mountains, Antarctica), because they are created for Keter objects and everything that can destroy the world.
What's inside: Maximum isolation and "last chance" protocols. Almost every Area has a built-in nuclear warhead in case a breakout can't be contained.

🧩 Inside filling

Internally, both Site and Area are divided into functional chunks:

· Sector (Сектор): An area for a specific task (laboratories, warehouses, residential blocks).
Unit: An autonomous capsule. If something goes wrong inside (biological leak, dimensional rupture), the Unit hermetically seals itself, preventing the threat from escaping.

🏷️ Prefixes in the title

To ensure staff immediately understand where they are going, prefixes are added to the object number:

· Armed: High security prison (lots of weapons and soldiers).
· Bio: Dangerous infection.
· Dim: Holes to other dimensions.
· Humanoid: A prison for intelligent beings.
· Protected: Sterile zone where no anomalies are allowed (O5 HQ).

In the SCP world, the Foundation isn't the only organization hunting anomalies. Those who exist alongside the Foundation (and often interfere with it) are called "Groups of Interest" (GOIs).

Their spectrum is broad: from terrorists to corporations and religious fanatics. Here are the key enemy forces the Foundation most frequently encounters:

💣 Main threats (open war)

Chaos Insurgency: Arguably the number one enemy. They broke away from the Foundation in 1924 (or 1948), stealing a ton of SCPs. They are radical militarists who use anomalies to seize power, sell weapons, and support dictatorships. They openly attack Foundation facilities and are considered terrorists.
Global Occult Coalition (GOC): "Rivals" with political protection. Created by the Allied powers. Their goal is not to study anomalies, but to destroy them. Relations with the Foundation are complex, ranging from mutual disdain to forced tactical cooperation.
Serpent's Hand: Ideological opponents. They view the Foundation as "jailers" and fight for the release of all anomalies (especially sentient ones). They are based in the "Wanderer's Library," a place the Foundation has little access to. They are hostile to both the Foundation and the GOC.

⚠️ Dangerous "partners" and fanatics

Sarcic Cults: Cannibalistic bioterrorists. They worship the "Great Karcist Ion," practicing sacrifice and body modification. Their goal is the overthrow of human dominance and the possible end of the world.
The Church of the Broken God: Religious mechanist fanatics. They believe the universe is a broken deity, and SCPs are its fragments. They seek to reassemble this "god," which could destroy the world.
The Fifth Church: A secretive cult of cosmic terror. Highly dangerous, often linked to stars and memetic hazards.

The O5 Council is the highest governing body of the SCP Foundation. While the charter and facility directors are the "visible" structure, the O5 is the shadow behind it all.

👑 Who are they?

Formally, these are 13 individuals who wield absolute power over the Foundation. They are called Overseers or Watchers. They apparently consider themselves the ones who "keep the cage of monsters closed," and are willing to do anything to achieve this.

🎭 Main rules

· No Contact: O5 members are strictly forbidden from interacting directly with anomalies. They operate solely through orders and reports.
· Secrecy: Most Level 2 and below personnel are unaware of their existence. For the rest of the world, O5 is a myth.
· Not Just Human: There are persistent rumors that some (or even all) O5 members may be non-human entities, artificial intelligence, or use anomalous life-extending technology.

🛡️ "Red Right Hand"

The O5s have their own forces, independent of the regular facility administration. This is MTF Alpha-01 ("Red Right Hand"). Their mission is to enforce the Council's will and purge those who have become a problem, acting with alarming brutality.

At the SCP Foundation, Clearance Level and Personnel Class are two different systems. Personnel Class determines who is allowed access to anomalies (if at all), while Personnel Class determines what information a person is allowed to read.

Here is the complete classification of clearance levels according to the official charter of the Foundation.

🔐 Clearance levels (0–5)

Level 0 (For Official Use Only): No access to anomaly information. Issued to non-critical personnel (cleaners, cooks, logisticians) at facilities where operational data is not available.
Level 1 (Confidential): Workers are physically located near anomalies but do not have direct access to them. Typically, these are maintenance personnel at facilities with containment cells, but are not authorized to enter them.
Level 2 (Restricted Access): Basic operational level. Grants direct access to information about contained anomalies. Issued to most researchers, field agents, and containment specialists.
Level 3 (Secret): Access to in-depth data: object origin, discovery circumstances, and long-term plans. Issued to senior researchers, project managers, security officers, and MTF operatives.
Level 4 (Top Secret): Access to strategic data at the facility or regional level. Issued to Facility Directors, Security Directors, and Mobile Task Force Commanders.
Level 5 (Thaumiel): Virtually unlimited access to all strategic information. Awarded to O5 Council members and select senior management.

⚠️ Important rule: "Need to know"

A security clearance level alone does not automatically grant you access to every document of that level. Even with a security clearance level of Level 4, you may not be granted access to a specific project if your supervisor (the disclosure officer) decides you don't need to know.

At the SCP Foundation, an employee's class determines not their position or salary, but how close they can get to anomalies. The logic is simple: the higher the class, the more valuable the person is and the further away they stay from danger.

🅰️ Class A

A strategic asset. This is the top leadership (including the O5 Council), who never interacts directly with anomalies. In the event of any threat, they are immediately evacuated to a safe location outside the Zone.

🅱️ Class B

Key local personnel. They are permitted contact only with safe anomalies that have passed quarantine and mental effects screening. In the event of an emergency, they are evacuated immediately after Class A.

🅾️ Class C

The core staff (researchers, security, engineers). They have direct access to most anomalies, except for the most dangerous or hostile ones. In the event of a containment breach, they act according to the situation: either to take cover or evacuate.

🅳 Class D

Expendable. They are the ones sent to Keter-class cells like SCP-173. These are prisoners (usually death row) used for experiments and dirty work. They are forbidden from contact with A and B. After a month, they are either "erased" with amnestics or terminated.

🅴 Class E

Temporary status. This isn't a position, but a label for field agents or specialists who have just opened a "capsule" containing a new SCP and may be infected with an unknown memetic or mental effect. They are isolated until they achieve full medical and mental "enlightenment."

If you want, we can go into more detail about how the hierarchy within the Mobile Task Forces (MTF) is structured.

SCP object classes are essentially a tool for Foundation personnel to use to indicate how difficult an object is to contain. It's important to understand that a class doesn't always equate to a danger level. Some "Safe" objects can destroy a planet (if you press a button), while some "Keter" objects are simply very difficult to capture, but they aren't evil.

Here is the complete classification:

🟢 Main classes

Safe: Easy and safe to contain. The anomaly is either well-studied or activated only by conscious intervention. Test: If you lock it in a box and forget about it, nothing will happen.
Euclid (Euclid): Poorly understood or unpredictable. Requires more resources or constant supervision. All intelligent beings typically end up here. Test: If you lock yourself in a box, you can't accurately predict what will happen.
Keter (Кетэр): Extremely difficult or nearly impossible to contain. Requires enormous resources and complex protocols. Subject often escapes or is impossible to contain. Test: If locked in a box, it will most likely escape.

🔵 Secondary / Special Classes

Thaumiel: Secret class. Objects used by the Foundation to contain other anomalies (especially Keter). Information available only to the O5 Council. Test: If the object is a box.
Neutralized: The anomaly has been destroyed, disabled, or has lost its properties. It no longer poses a threat.
· Explained: Previously considered an anomaly, but now explained by science or recognized as a hoax. No longer an SCP.
· Pending: A temporary class for new objects until the Foundation collects enough data.
· Esoteric: Rare, unique classes for objects that don't fit into the standard framework (for example, Apollyon - an unstoppable object that guarantees the end of the world).

⚠️ Important note

Don't confuse an object's class with its threat level. The class only determines the difficulty of containment. The threat level (from White to Black) indicates how dangerous the object is.

The SCP Foundation is an international secret organization featured in an online project of the same name (a sort of creepypasta wiki). Its essence can be described as follows:

The main task is to detect, capture and contain (Secure, Contain, Protect) anomalous objects, creatures, phenomena or places that violate the laws of nature and pose a threat to humanity.

Three key principles (motto):

· Secure – find and remove the anomaly.
· Contain - isolate it in a special complex so that it does not cause harm.
· Protect - prevent people from knowing about its existence (preserving normality).

How it works in the setting:

· Anomalies are given the designation “SCP-XXX” (number) and a containment complexity class: Safe, Euclid, Keter, etc.
The Foundation uses scientists, operatives, undercover agents, and "D-class" expendable personnel (usually prisoners) for testing.
The world is unaware of the Foundation. When information leaks, amnestics and disinformation are used.
· The Foundation is neither “evil” nor “good” – it is amoral: the end (the survival of humanity) justifies any means.

The main idea: the ordinary world is just a thin film on the surface of chaos, and the Foundation is the force that keeps this film from breaking.
