BLACK-5 is authorised only by O5 council members, 
following the issue of a Class-A Lockdown Degree. 
BLACK-5 is issued partial control in the immediate and 
autonomous detonation of the Omega kinetic warheads16 
located underneath the main facility. [Further information

AMBER-22: 


AMBER-22, or the Visual And Light Impairment System, 
is a program applying sensual impairment, such as 
strobe lights and high-pitch audio to disorientate and 
repress hostile combatants. AMBER-22 is most often 
utilised when facing external threats such as raids from 
hostile factions, or entities responding to a standard 
human sensual environment. 


AMBER-710: 


AMBER-710 is a site-specific program responsible for 
utilising allocated electrostatic tesla-gates, electrocuting 
or stunning entities or objects moving at an irregular pace 
not similar to human movement. On a number of 
occasions, AMBER-710 has resulted in the stunning of 
staff suffering from movement problems, disabilities, or 
other impairments causing a significant variation in 
movement speed. Due to this, AMBER-710 has gained 
an infamous reputation, and has been moved to requiring 
at minimum of a Class-C Lockdown Degree to prevent 
further unnecessary casualties. Disabled staff are 
continually reminded to ask a site administrator to close 
the tesla gates before proceeding through an active one. 


GRAY-17: 


GRAY-17 has control over the closure/lockdown of all 
door, utility and ventilation system, and in direct 
connection with the O04 system for maximum response 
time. GRAY-17 can be authorised on any grade higher 
than Class-E, and will automatically close select units, 
compounds and sites to varying intensities dependant on 
the Lockdown Degree, including site gates, sewage 
systems, power lines, radio connection and issue 
Protocol 15-A on all data banks, causing most to enter 
deep-storage. GRAY-17 is effective due to the rate at 
which it can respond to a breach, and is one of the most 
essential response initiatives for any site. 


GREEN-888: 


GREEN-888 represents a further infamous response 
initiative (a common subject of the Ethics Committee) is 
in direct and full control over the release of gaseous 
agents into compounds affected by containment 
breaches. The GREEN-888 program utilises multiple 
agents, including sedatives, reversible-paralytics, nerve 
agents, vesicants and intoxicants. Separate agents are 
utilised for specific Lockdown Degrees and in varying 
states of emergency, or to combat specific evaluated 


threats. The most frequently applied are reversible- 
paralytics, allowing retrieval staff but not entire 
elimination of the threat. Areas flushed with vesicants or 
intoxicants are designed for repression, while nerve 
agents are used for direct and lethal results. 


MAGENTA-33: 


MAGENTA-33, or the Reality Initiative, controls the 
"reality anchors" influencing the hume level'” within sites 
containing trans-dimensional objects. These "reality 
anchors" essentially combine dimensions, "locking" 
dimensional entities into the same dimensional space as 
site guards and MTFs, limiting the effects of objects 
including SCP-106. 


EVACUATION 


Evacuation of a site is the practice in which staff will 
withdraw from affected facilities following a lockdown. 
Evacuations will proceed within the "Evacuation Phase", 
the period in which threats are still mostly developing, 
and have not yet pertained an intensity requiring the 
closure of the evacuation shelters. 


GUIDANCE 


Staff involved in any lockdown are to seek evacuation as 
their highest priority. Detailed evacuation plans and prints 
can be found in Administration and Security. Smaller 
plans are also present in each compound. These will 
direct staff towards the nearest evacuation shelter. 


Armed site security staff will also assist in the evacuation 
process, and divide a team for each affected compound. 

Teams will accompany personnel to evacuation shelters, 
and attempt to repress developing threats until MTF units 
arrive. Staff are advised to follow security teams. 


Evacuation shelters can be closed manually if the threat 
reaches a substantial level, or otherwise given a timeout- 
lock for 2-3 minutes. Speed and arrival time is critical. 
Personnel not inside an evacuation shelter before 
closure are no longer a priority of security, and are 
handed to the responsibility of MTF units entering the 
facility. Staff in this situation are advised to hide and not 
retaliate against threats, or intervene in any way with a 
struggle or death of another member of staff. Self- 
preservation is required above the safety of others. Do 
not startle, distract or expose MTF teams. 


Once inside evacuation shelters staff will be registered. 
Personnel unaccounted for will be added to a staff list for 
MTF units to retrieve and recover. Staff are reminded 
that they in the eyes of MTF units are of second priority. 
A list will also be sent to MTF teams of contained SCP 
objects and assets within the site that may or may not be 
an active threat. 


Extraction of personnel will commence once all threats 
have been neutralised or re-contained. Personnel will be 
examined and quarantined for further evaluation until 
they are safe from possible contagions, memetic/ 
obsessive effects or post-traumatic stress. 


RECOVERY 


The recovery operation can last extended periods of time 
depending upon the extent of damage or public 
exposure. Recovery includes the restoration of the site, 
application of amnestics, re-containment of anomalous 
objects, registration of staff, evaluation of causes, and 
liquidation of events. 


EVALUATED CAUSES 


Causes of breaches and subsequent lockdowns can be 
categorised into the following classes: 


¢ Failure of automated systems, such as gate 
mechanics, specialised containment systems, or 
data corruption. 

¢ Infiltration or incursion from a hostile Group of 
Interest, (GOI). Members of the Serpent's 
Hand and Chaos Insurgency utilise this method of 
attack with terrorising effect. 

¢ Disloyalties, unawareness, misjudgements or 
general faults of containment staff. 

¢ Underestimated scale of threat and needs for 
containment of a specific object. 

¢ Uncontainable anomalous objects. 

¢ Direct assault or raids from a foreign force. 

* Memetic/obsessive effects or manipulation of staff. 
This may include actions forced-upon staff 
members without consent. 


Investigation teams will utilise electronic logs, security 
footage and witnesses among many methods to identify 
the cause. 


INVOLVED PERSONNEL 


Personnel involved in the recovery and liquidation 
operation following a breach are classified into specific 
teams, each identifiable by a select symbol. This symbol 
accounts for both colour-blind and visually-impaired staff, 
and will be found on the uniform of the personnel of 
interest. 


MTF/AMTF units are identifiable from the triple-red lines 
symbol. Their role in the recovery process is in securing 
the facility from hostile combatants/anomalous objects, 
and in the evacuation of surviving staff members. Most 
MTF teams are armed, and those heavily-armed with 
military-grade vehicles and specialised weaponry known 
as AMTFs. MTF teams will only participate in the 
immediate response and recovery period after a 
lockdown. 


Registration teams are identifiable from the blue ring 
symbol. Members are responsible for the accounting of 
surviving staff, lost assets, neutralised anomalous 
objects, and personnel mortalities/casualties. 


Liquidation teams are the backbone of the recovery 
operation, identifiable from the yellow cross symbol. 
Members specialise into multiple sub-teams and roles, 
including application of amnestics on public exposure, 
clearance of destroyed facilities, treatment of injured 
personnel, and evaluation of the total damage. 


Object-movement teams are identifiable for the orange 
dash symbol, responsible for the re-containment and 
movement of anomalous objects, and often work in-turn 
with MTF units and other field personnel/agents to 
secure and evaluate the threat. These teams will be 
present for the early part of the recovery operation. 


Investigation teams are not widely recognised and often 
hide their role for security measures, but are most 
commonly attributed to a green triangle symbol, and are 
involved in the evaluation of events leading up to the 
lockdown, and the ultimate cause. Investigation teams 
utilise security footage, electronic logs and witnesses 
(among many methods) to identify the aforementioned. 


RE-CONTAINMENT PROTOCOLS 


[THIS SECTION IS ADDRESSED TO OBJECT- 
MOVEMENT TEAMS ONLY. ] 


Re-containment protocols are the methods object- 
movement teams should follow in order to obtain secure 
hold over a specific anomalous object. Each threat will 
have unique re-containment protocols, and the same 
method will not apply to all. 


Large Scale Aggressors (LSAs) are some of the most 
fundamentally challenging objects to successfully acquire 
and re-contain with minimal loss. Multiple encounters 


with SCP-682 suggest the most effective method of 
securing is through distraction and luring. LSAs are 
known to rarely reach a docile state, and may have to be 
surrounded and forcibly constrained by multiple battalion- 
strength AMTFs once lured into an appropriate location 
for acquisition. LSAs may reach a critical level of public 
exposure, and require considerate re-directing away from 
a nearby civilian population. Evaluation and exploitation 
of the threat is critical. Sedatives, depending upon 
availability, are also a viable option. In almost all cases, 
total neutralisation of the threat should always be 
considered. 


Dimensional threats are those that may involve a spatial 
or temporal alteration, space-time rupture, trans- 
dimensional entities, incorporeal objects, separate 
dimensional existences, or objects primarily un- 
constricted by natural laws and processes. Methods of 
securing include luring, such as the practice used on 
SCP-106, or reality-anchorage; the process in which 
reality anchors will merge dimensions, reducing, 
removing or halting the effects of a trans-dimensional 
entity, and merging the spatial existence of general 
dimensional anomalies. Dimensional threats are more 
often than not lost during a breach if not immediately 
prioritised, and at times are expendable. These threats 
are seen as being a damaging combination of complexity 
and severity, and require extensive background 
knowledge before intervening. 


Non-Terminable Threats (NTTs) are defined by an 
inability to be terminated, and as such neutralisation is 
never an appropriate option. Escapes involving NTTs are 
complicated and require extensive evaluation before 
action while still accounting for maximum speed of 
response. Breaches involving that of SCP-096, suggest a 
docile state can be achieved if effectively dealt with. 
Converting a NTT into a docile state allows for a fast and 
clean acquisition. Methods include sedation, allowing the 
entity to achieve purpose (with relative consideration, if a 


purpose is required at all), manipulation, hypnosis, or 
other object-specific actions. 


Memetic, infohazardous or cognitohazardous threats 
often meet the requirements for a well-evaluated and 
assessed plan of action with little account for response 
speed. Memetic objects may need handling from 
sensually-inept personnel invulnerable to the danger of 
viewing, hearing, or touching. By definition, these effects 
can spread if not well-contained and isolated from site 
staff unaware of the object. Mediums of transferring 
these memetic effects into a civilian population must also 
be removed where necessary and well-considered 
beforehand. 


Contamination sources must be acted upon swiftly and 
resourcefully. Most teams will divide into separate roles, 
preventing the spreading of the contagion while also 
suppressing the initial source. These may include re- 
animated organisms, self-sustaining reactions, 
contagious/harmful entities or objects, anomalous 
infectious diseases, sources of anomalous toxins, 
carcinogens, ionised radiation, biological weapons or 
fungal species. Appropriate hazardous-materials suits 
should be worn corresponding with the apparent 
threat(s). Although the role of MTFs is in suppression 
and isolation of the source and affected areas from 
civilian populations, quarantining of contagious persons 
and re-containment of the initial source is a responsibility 
of the object-movement teams. Threats such as these 
must be dealt with through exact meticulous and 
remorseless action in remaining ahead of the risks 
involved.

9% more than control tests. Bard’s abilities are hard to 
quantify, as expected. Warlock’s abilities in information 
recall and application have increased dramatically. Cleric 
has begun conducting highly organized and logical 
debates with researchers regarding the ethics and 
purpose of SCP/human testing. The subjects’ stats are 
approaching the 15% mark and we are anticipating the 
consequences of this to appear soon. 


Test Log SCP-896-A3939: 


Testing Notes: The subjects have been playing for two 
weeks. Berserker broke his keyboard and mouse by 
gripping them. Subject has been provided a custom 
made keyboard and mouse made of steel. All subjects 
have begun to defer to Bard’s judgment of any situation 
and begun providing him all magical items, regardless of 
Bard’s actual need or use of the item. 

Character Statistics [REDACTED] 

Results: Berserker has been instructed to begin 
increasing his agility statistic so he can better control his 
vastly improved strength. Bard has been forbidden from 
speaking during testing to prevent self aggrandizement 
at the cost of the other test subjects’ focus. Warlock is 
approaching savant level intelligence. 


However, the IQ’s of the subjects focusing on physical 
stats has plummeted. Bard, Cleric, and Warlock have 
significantly reduced energy levels and have lost 20% of 
their muscle mass over the last two weeks. 


Test Log SCP-896-A3945: 


Testing Notes: Berserker and Knight quibbled over who 
should receive a magic item, and the argument turned 
violent. Berserker was able to throw Knight into a 
containment wall before being subdued by security. 
Knight was unharmed despite causing significant 
damage to the concrete wall. 

Character Statistics [REDACTED] 

Results: Berserker was easily subdued with the use of a
