The Nightmare Begins - SCP Foundation

TO: DIR. ANDREW CHILDS

(FORMER) Head of Project TYPHON

By the time you're reading this, Andrew, your employment will have been terminated. Congratulations.

I briefly considered hand-writing you this letter myself for old times' sake, but I figured you wouldn't be worth the effort in the end. After all, we're not friends anymore. This is a strictly professional outfit now. And before you ask; no, I didn't do anything out of my way to end your job early. You did that to yourself.

Respect is not a thing easily obtained - and I had no shortage of that for you. Not everyone gets to have met one of the forerunners, even less study under their guidance. Patricia can attest. But despite that, you are an utter hack. It took you twenty years worth of effort to do what me and my team did in less than three and you still have nothing to show for it. You flounder in the shadows of better men, Andrew.

TYPHON showed promise - admittedly much more so than Phantom Project. Even Phantom was built off of your old research theories . . . ones that you discarded! God, you're such a fool. The sole redeemer that is mutagen-alpha, something that should be treated as an important hallmark in phenoparanology, is nothing more than third-tier janitorial moneymaking bookwork to you.

Your narrowminded stubbornness and wild incompetence are too much for you to do anything meaningful and too much for that young board jockey to deal with anymore.

The board ordered all of your research to be turned over to me; knowing you, you're going to fight it. Don't waste your time. They're behind me 100% on this. Making HER mad isn't going to be in your best interests.

I've already got mutagen-alpha on hand here at Edmonton - I'm sure they "forgot" to notify you of that years ago. As for the rest of your research, you're allowed to sift through that to preserve your ego as much as you want.

Goodbye, Childs. I hope your family name will remain desecrated in the annals of history for all eternity.
