About

SCP Foundation Philosophy: The mission of the SCP Foundation is to protect humanity from otherworldly phenomena and anomalies. Disclosure to the general public is strictly forbidden, and the Foundation operates secretly across the globe. In the event of exposure, memory-erasing agents known as amnestics can be used to wipe memories. Foundation Authority: The Foundation possesses enough power to influence nations, with research and containment facilities known as "Sites" scattered worldwide to contain and protect SCPs. Foundation Personnel: Includes police, mobile task forces, and individuals referred to as Agents. Object Classes: The danger level of an SCP object is expressed by its "Object Class." From highest to lowest danger, they are categorized as Keter, Euclid, and Safe. Anomalies used by the Foundation to contain or counteract other SCPs are classified as Thaumiel, the highest level of classification. Object Class Details: Safe: Classified as such if the object can be safely and reliably contained at this time, or if anomalous phenomena do not occur unless intentionally activated. This does not necessarily mean the anomaly is harmless to personnel or humanity; its nature is often compared to a "bottled poison" or a "heavily guarded nuclear switch." Euclid: Classified as such if the nature is unknown or unpredictable. While reliable containment is not always possible, it does not pose the same level of danger as Keter. Anomalies with sentience or intelligence are usually classified here because they are inherently unpredictable due to their ability to think and act on their own. Keter: Classified as such if the object poses a significant threat to personnel, humanity, society, or civilization—such as altering physical laws or culture—and requires complex containment procedures or cannot be contained by the Foundation at this time. The Foundation aims to contain these objects, but may destroy them as a last resort. D-Class Personnel: Criminals used as experimental subjects for SCPs; essentially "disposable pawns" with almost no human rights. SCP containment is handled with extreme caution, and containment cells are heavily reinforced for emergencies. The design of the cell varies depending on the specific SCP's abilities.
