Hello readers,
It is Friday the 13th. What a fabulous day to kick off an SCP series. I will be posting two articles (one SCP and one cryptid) every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Let's begin:
The SCP acronym stands for Secure, Contain, Protect. It is an organisation that works to contain supernatural and anomalous entities and objects away from regular civilians. Failure to contain these objects and entities may result in a world ending event.
The foundation is thought to date back to 1500BC however no substantial evidence has been found to back this up. Generally, it is accepted that reliable data from the foundation dates back to the 1800s in The Victorian era.
Any anomaly encountered by the SCP foundation is given an object classification. This classification is determined by its difficulty to contain, and the level of danger that the SCP poses to the Foundation and the entirety of humanity. The classification determines the level of priority, funding and security of the type of containment. Below are the classifications:
Safe
An object that has been determined as safe is one that is completely contained or its anomalous effects are completely deactivated within containment. These safe objects pose very little threat if released or interacted with.
Euclid
Euclid objects pose some threat to personnel. These objects tend to be unpredictable and are difficult to research due to their highly anomalous properties. Generally they are left alone but constantly observed
Keter
These objects are highly hostile to or are highly likely to harm personnel and other beings. Most of these objects require extensive containment and pose a high risk. of containment breach. The Foundation will attempt to terminate anomalies that fall into this category however this has a great potential to have disastrous results and is only to be pursued as a final resort.
Neutralized
These SCPs have no anomalous properties they may have been deactivated by destruction or disability. Generally, this is uncommon and unintentional. If an SCP is neutralised the data is archived for later use if said SCPs regain their anomalous properties.
Explained
An Explained SCP is one whose properties have been analysed by scientists to where they can be explained and are therefore no longer regarded as anomalous.
Thaumiel
These anomalous entities and objects are an anomaly in themselves and are rather rare. These SCPs aid the foundation in securing and containing other SCPs Thaumiel SPCs are extremely powerful and little is disclosed most personnel in the foundation know nothing more about them other than that they exist.
Hiemal
No effort is to be made to contain A Hiemal-class anomaly. Containment of SCPs of this classification may not be practical, cause more destruction or may even produce weather phenomenon.
Apollyon
The Appolyon classification is given to SCPs that will inevitably lead to a mass destruction or and XK-class end of the world scenario. These objects cannot be contained or prevented all measures are put to finding a way to survive said event. This classification is extremely rare.
I believe this is a good place to leave the introduction to the SCP foundation. Next in the line up of this about series will be personnel and security clearances. Then we will jump into learning about some SCPs
Edit: my apologies this was released late.
