* 0:23:15 — First deviation from the text. Rather than the 
dialogue between Francisco and the courtesan, the curtain 
drops and comes back up on a bare stage. Antonio enters 
from stage right. 


nevertheless perseveres in an endless quest to change the world by 
reason alone. Amicable though blunt, he might not be the best 
company at parties, but then again, he rarely shows up for those. 
He's piqued someone's interest though, or perhaps multiple 
someones. Perhaps it's his unwillingness to compromise, perhaps 
his inability to truly get swept away by his emotions, but he's now 
part of their plans. 


Director Shirley Gillespie 


The elderly Director of Site-77, who presides over one of the largest 
caches of Safe and Euclid level objects in the entire Foundation. 
Gillespie has fought tooth-and-nail to get to where she is today, and 
she doesn't like to beat around the bush when it comes to business. 
Her agenda? Pushing the limits of supposedly 'safe' objects beyond 
what anyone ever dreamed they were capable of. Alpha-9 seems 
like a perfect place to do that. 


O05 Command 


The thirteen people who have ultimate control over the Foundation. 


¢ One: "The Founder" — A force of tradition and stability; 
never seen in person, but whose presence hangs over all the 
others. The leader of the Council. 


¢ Two: "The Gardener" — One of the original members of the 
Foundation, possibly a founding member of the O5 Council. 
Hails from a previous iteration of the current timeline. Origins 
and involvement in temporal anomalies are intentionally kept 
murkier even than most of the Council's. Openly supports 
Alpha-9. 


* Three: [NO FURTHER DATA AT THIS TIME] 


¢ Four: "The Ambassador" — Deals largely with Groups of 
Interest outside the Foundation. Walks everywhere, traveling 
across the world at any speed necessary, taking paths that no 


others can take. Openly supports Alpha-9. 
Five: "Blackbird". — [NO FURTHER DATA AT THIS TIME]. 


Six: "Cowboy" — Wears a white Stetson "Boss of the Plains" 
cowboy hat. Known for exceptional stability and competence. 
Plays a ‘jack of all trades' role within the Council, with a 
special focus on security. 


Seven: "Green" — Dresses almost exclusively in green 
clothing of various degrees of fashion. Ruthless but seemingly 
well-intentioned. Was Dr. Alto Clef's primary sponsor nine 
years ago: they have since had a falling out. Privately 
supports Alpha-9, but publicly opposes it for political reasons. 


Eight: "The Newbie" — Actually has seniority over several 
other O5s, but didn't bother finding a new nickname. As one of 
his first actions as O5, approved Kondraki's termination plan 
for SCP-083, which resulted in the destruction of Site-19 and 
a loss of face from which he has yet to recover. Probably the 
least-trusted and most reactionary member of the O5 Council. 
Opposes the creation of Alpha-9, and is the most vocal 
opponent on the Council. 


Nine: "The Outsider" — Was recruited as O5 directly from 
the public — the first and only time this has ever happened. 
The second newest Council member, she replaced the O5 
Council member who is contained in SCP-963-2). Openly 
supports Alpha-9. 


Ten: "The Archivist" — Acts as custodian of the records of 
previous iterations of the planet and associated timelines. She 
is the only one who knows how many times the timeline has 
been damaged or "reset". The newest member of the O5 
Council. Her predecessor (who played the same role) was 
executed after trying to use SCP-003 to end the world. Openly 
supports Alpha-9. 


Eleven: — [NO FURTHER DATA AT THIS TIME] 
Twelve: — [NO FURTHER DATA AT THIS TIME] 


¢ Thirteen: — Not much is known about him. He seems to have 
some ability to see the future, and only appears at Council 
meetings to cast tie-breaking votes. 


05 Command Administrative Staff ("The Factotums") 


The direct subordinates to the O5 Council — powerful enough to be 
valuable, but expendable enough to be useful. Everything about 
them is classified: their histories, their positions, their roles, their 
names, even their genders. Known only by their code names. They 
work closely both with the O5 Council and with MTF Alpha-1, "Red 
Right Hand." 


Villains 


"The Ones in Black" 


Their attack on Site-17 started all this. Who they are and what they 
are after have yet to be revealed. 


Outsiders 


Alison Chao, The Black Queen 


She has her own motivations. What they are have yet to be 
revealed.

If you require anything else, please do not hesitate to ask. 


Sincerely, 


Grimdark, Noblebright 


When writing for Project Resurrection, think less grimdark and more 
NobleBright. 


The term "grimdark" is used to describe settings that, like 
Warhammer 40,000, have a certain bleak, pessimistic tone. It's hard 
to exactly pin down what "grimdark" really is, but if | had to break it 
down into five major themes: 


* The world is in slow, painful, decline. 

¢ Your best efforts will only serve to slow down the inevitable. 

¢ Life is cheap. Death, including massive body counts, is 
distressingly common. 

¢ The innocent exist to be victims of the strong. 

¢ Heroes are naive fools. 


But for every yin there is a yang. Grimdark's mirror concept is 
"NobleBright." Project Resurrection's view of NobleBright is not 


exactly happy: there are dark and gritty things, but the overall feel is 
less one of despair and one of hope. 


The world is emerging from an age of darkness. 

You can make a difference, no matter how small. 

Even in the midst of mass death, every life you can save is 
precious. 

The innocent deserve to be protected from the strong. 
Heroes are naive fools... but they are naive fools who can 
make a difference. 


There need to be setbacks. There need to be losses. There need to 
be disasters. But in the end, there needs to be a victory, no matter 
how small. Something that the reader and the characters can hold 
onto and think, "Yes. This was worth it." 


Breaking Taboos 


As part of the more adventurous, NobleBright tone, there are some 
long-held taboos that SCP Foundation culture has built up that we're 
going to explicitly break. 


Author Avatars: We make 'em, we use 'em, we don't worry 
about "no roleplaying." No rules against anomalous 
researchers (within moderation): there's a place for them now, 
within Alpha-9. No rules against fourth-wall jokes regarding 
on-site and off-site culture (Lambda-2, for instance, is an old 
MTF joke that's been gone from the MTF page for a long 
time). 

No Crosslinking: This applies both to SCP cross-testing and 
SCP/Tale cross-links. There may be SCPs that are created 
explicitly for the purposes of Project Resurrection (Subject, as 
usual, to community review and possible deletion). Cross- 
testing between SCPs may take place during the course of 
Project Resurrection. 

LOLFoundation: Within moderation. For instance, we would 
not accept the very worst of Old!LOLFoundation, like Kondraki 
running amok without consequence. However, the fact that 
Old!LOLFoundation exists is an actual plot point within the 


story, and there is definitely room for comic-relief shenanigans 
within reason. 


Regarding Continuity and Canon 


As much as possible, we will try to incorporate as much of the 
content of the site as possible. This includes Tales, SCPs, 
supplemental information, and commonly held headcanon. This will 
inevitably lead to conflict, as differing tones and headcanons duke it 
out. 


When considering whether something should be in canon, consider 
these facts: 


* Is it fun? We want some realism: suspension of disbelief only 
goes so far. However, if something is going to be an 
interesting, fun addition to the canon, we should definitely try 
to add it in. 

* Does it conflict? There are, however, going to be fun 
concepts that conflict with information already laid down in the 
Project Resurrection canon. For instance, if the Scarlet King 
should pop up, there's the question of which interpretation you 
want to accept. Which leads, at last, to: 

* Can it be justified? Marvel Comics used to have something 
called The No-Prize, which was an empty envelope sent to a 
fan who A. found an incident of discontinuity, and B. was able 
to provide an explanation as to how it took place. Feel free to 
justify the inclusion of wildly different canons into a single 
story, so long as it makes sense. 


Superman as a Hero vs. Superman as a 
Person 
Superman's powers are boring. They're just "being a better human 


being." He can fly, he's strong, he's bulletproof, he's fast, he can 
shoot lasers from his eyes and breathe out ice. 


Superman as a person is interesting. He's an alien raised by 
humans in a small midwestern town. He has all the power in the 
world but uses it to help others. He's surrounded by people who he 
wants to help, but is always struggling with whether or not helping 
them means lording it over them like a god. 


When creating anomalous characters for Project Resurrection, 
spend more time thinking about the person behind the abilities (the 
Clark Kent) rather than the powers (the Superman). 


Can | write for this storyline? 


Yes. Come visit us in chat or in the discussion for this page if 
you have any questions. 

| have an idea for this storyline. Where can | suggest 
it? 

Suggest in the comments for this hub! Otherwise, find us in chat. 
Remember — we're especially looking for more recent work (Series 
2 & 3 SCPs in particular). 

Can | use established characters and SCPs? 

Yes! If the original creators of the characters are still around, just 
see what they think. If the creators are not part of the wiki anymore, 
just go for it. You can ask some of the veteran writers on the project 
for feedback. 


Can | use MY established characters and SCPs? 


Absolutely. Sky's the limit. 


How can | add stories to this hub? 


Just get several of the established Resurrection writers to approve it 
(you can find US in chat), and you can add once you're done. 
This is for two purposes: 


* Quality (we want to help you write something awesome, and 
we're happy to give you lots of feedback!) 
* Continuity (so we don't confuse everyone!) 


Remember, though, you can add to this storyline or write in the 
universe without ever checking with us. Just tag your tale with 
"resurrection." 


Where can | go to voice concerns about Resurrection? 


TroyL has a thread, "Concerning Resurrection", where you 
can go to post any concerns you have about the canon. If you wish 
to have it posted anonymously, PM TroyL so he can address it in- 
thread. 


Able is so dreamy! Here's my OC who's totes in love 
with him! 


That's not a question, but let's instead talk about OCs (Original 
Characters). 


Create them. Bring them in. Just make them interesting, please, so 
other people will want to write them. 


Able is so awesome! Here's my OC who's totally 
awesome too! 


Again, that's not a question. but let's instead talk about anomalous 
characters. 


The general rule of thumb on the site is "don't make them." This rule 
of thumb is called the X-Men Rule: "If the SCP would fit right in with 
the X-Men, it shouldn't be an SCP." 


We're tossing that... mostly out the window. Read "Superman vs. 
Clark Kent" in the Writers' Thoughts section. 


0:23:24 — First indirect sighting of SCP-701-1. The shadow of 
a figure seems to appear on the back wall, from stage right. 
Antonio stops in place and acts surprised. The shadow 
disappears. Antonio begins a long soliloquy, confirming that 
he now believes Isabella’s story. Dr. J notes that while this 
soliloquy is in the style of the rest of the play and seems to be 
accurate Caroline-era dialogue, Antonio’s speech in this 
scene does not exist in the original text. 


0:24:12 — Curtain drops. 


0:24:51 — Curtain rises on Francisco and the courtesan. 
Antonio returns; the play continues as scripted. 


0:31:14 — First direct sighting of SCP-701-1. It enters and 
stands at the edge of stage left towards the end of Act Il, 
Scene 1. 


0:32:17 — Gonzalo’s dialogue concludes (as scripted) with the 
mention of an appointment with the ambassador from 
Alagadda. He exits, stage left; SCP-701-1 seems to turn and 
follow him as the lights go down. 


0:38:13 — Second sighting of SCP-701-1 during Act Ill, Scene 
1. It appears on the edge of stage right as Gonzalo and 
Petruccio murder Sortino. The scene concludes with Gonzalo 
ordering his cooks to prepare the corpse as a stew; scripts 
recovered from the scene indicate that this section had been 
cut in rehearsal. 


0:51:11 — Third sighting of SCP-701-1; appears close to stage 
left as Antonio kills Isabella. 


1:09:12 — Fourth sighting: SCP-701-1 enters with Gonzalo at 
the beginning of Act IV, Scene 1, and follows him throughout 
the scene. The scene also contains two key moments: first, 
Gonzalo seems to nod to SCP-701-1 when he mentions the 
ambassador of Alagadda. This is the first time a cast member 
has seemed to indicate SCP-701-1’s presence. Second, the 
scene ends with a deviation from the text: whereas the 
scripted speech at the end of Act IV, Scene 1 ends with 


"I Quit." 


"You, what?" Seven stared, aghast. She was the first of them to 
speak, but not the only one. 


"You can't do that!" Eight blustered, accusingly. He slammed his fist 
down on the table, and then shook it, having hit harder then he had 
planned. "This is a job for life! Tell him, Six!" 


Six steepled his fingers, and studied Twelve over them. For anyone 
who cared to look, there was a remarkable similarity between the 
two men. While Twelve was clearly the elder of the two, Six didn't 
look that far behind. The angle of their noses, the tilt of their head, 
even the shape of the face, they could have been brothers. One 
would expect Six to even have the same bald spot that Twelve 
proudly bore, if anyone could get Six to take off that damned cowboy 
hat. 


"I'm not so sure," Six replied to the worked-up Eight. "To be sure, it's 
never been done before."
