SCP-788 has been observed with simple behavior identical to that of 
a typical water-dwelling fish. It does not exhibit unusual strength for 
a creature of its size, though its sheer size and mass can result in 
damage to its containment cell if it becomes agitated. SCP-788 
consumes several types of ore and minerals, with a preference for 
iron and magnesium, though it has not been observed excreting any 
material. Since its containment, SCP-788 has grown approximately 
22 cm in length. 


SCP-788 was discovered following the 19 eruption of 
[REDACTED]. It is currently theorized that multiple instances of 
SCP-788 may exist in the mantle layer of the earth, and the eruption 
of [REDACTED] may have brought SCP-788 to the surface. 
Contingencies are currently in place if another instance of SCP-788 
is discovered by Foundation or civilian assets.

Subject: Memorandum on Jack the Suppressor 


Good Knowledge, 


Recently, a proposal was put forward to me by the head 
of the REPENTANCE DIVISION regarding Jack the 
Suppressor, referred to only by necessity by his given 
name of Jack Valenti in the context of this memorandum. 
Attached is a summary of the proposal and my opinion of 
its merit, as well as a vote module. Please do not abstain 
on this; given the crimes this man has wrought upon our 
collective memory, this case may call for the most severe 
enforcement of the COPYRIGHT CORRECTION CODE 
to date. 


Peace and Wisdom, 


PA-01 
REPTENTANCE DIVISION PUNISHMENT PROPOSAL 
FOR JACK THE SUPPRESSOR 
“JACK VALENTI” 


SUMMARY OF CCC VIOLATIONS 


The REPENTANCE DIVISION does not believe that 
Jack the Suppressor (given name: Jack Joseph Valenti) 
needs an introduction. No one man was more 
responsible for the Great Erasure than he. Indeed, the 
COPYRIGHT CORRECTION CODE as it exists today 
was written precisely to prevent a man like him from ever 
being able to accomplish something like the Extension 
again. It was also written to ensure that men like him 


REPENT for their crimes. 


Due to his culpability in the aforementioned 
catastrophes, we believe Jack the Suppressor warrants 
the harshest punishment we have ever issued to an 
ANTI-PUBLIC figure. In addition to REPENTANCE for 
himself, this punishment will also make amends for his 
repeated opposition to PRO-PUBLIC figures. Historical 
records indicate he was a spectator at the Extension 
Trial, signaling his disapproval even as Lawrence the 
Preserver fought in vain to stop the legal menace. This 
behavior, while less severe than his active role in the 
Great Erasure, is completely unacceptable. 


Accordingly, the REPENTANCE DIVISION hereby 
recommends an ACCOMMODATED six-month 
CULTURE-class RETRIEVAL MISSION, with no less 
than two hundred Public Domain objects required to 
satisfy the parameters of the assignment. Should the 
subject complete the RETRIEVAL MISSION prior to the 
end of his elapsed time, the quota shall be increased. 


We believe this punishment accurately reflects the 
severity of Jack the Suppressor’s misdeeds, and request 
your approval to begin the temporal draft. 


Peace and Wisdom, 
Repentance Division - Public Domain Protection Service 


VOTE: Extended RETRIEVAL MISSION for Jack the 
Suppressor ("Jack Valenti")

Subject: ANTI-PUBLIC Interference re: Jack the 
Suppressor 


Good Knowledge, 


Several days ago a REPENTANCE proposal was put 
forth for Jack the Suppressor and approved by a 26-4 
vote of this ADMINISTRATION. The draft notice was 
created via the normal procedures and delivered on 14 
Oct 83. According to our current understanding of 
temporal science, we should have either received the 
Public Domain objects by now or been informed of an 
unsuccessful mission. 


The REPENTANCE DIVISION considers it highly 
unlikely that the letter was received by him and 
disregarded. Moreover, our normal procedure for 
temporal control was significantly increased in scope in 
his case; if he had so much as seen the first page, the 
RETRIEVAL MISSION would have commenced. 
Accordingly, we believe an outside party has knowingly 
engaged in ANTI-PUBLIC activities by deliberately 
intercepting the letter and preventing its delivery. 


Furthermore, we have noticed a sharp drop-off in 
successful RETRIEVAL MISSIONS completed after 81. 
The loss of potential Public Domain objects is significant 
enough that | am recommending an INDIRECT 
INTERVENTION to investigate the source of this 
anomaly. A vote module is attached to this letter; if you 
vote against, please briefly explain your reasoning. 


Peace and Wisdom, 
PA-01 


VOTE: INDIRECT INTERVENTION, c. 83, to investigate 
ANTI-PUBLIC interference.

Subjection: DIRECT INTERVENTION RE: “3185” 


Preserve, 


By now, all of you have undoubtedly read the report on 
the INDIRECT INTERVENTION to investigate Jack the 
Suppressor’s RETRIEVAL MISSION. The organization 
responsible for this, the Foundation, is believed to have 
been one of many operating away from public view 
during the Veil Era, preserving normalcy by removing 
IRREGULAR objects and phenomena from public view. 
They have designated us as an IRREGULAR entity, 
referred to as SCP-3185. 

This will be a difficult decision for all of you, as it is for 
me. Here, we must choose between two unpleasant 
options: a potential temporal disaster, or a complete 
disregard for the stated ideals and founding principles of 
our Service. 


| will be supporting a DIRECT INTERVENTION. The cost 
and materials required for one compared to an 
INDIRECT INTERVENTION is a concern many of you 
have brought to my attention, and it is one that | share as 
well. But what is our surplus funding for if not a moment 
like this - one where our very reason for existing in our 
current roles is threatened? 


You are free to vote your conscience on this issue 
without fear of repercussion. The vote module is 
attached as usual. 


Safe Discoveries, 
PA-01

Application to Form MTF Mu-3 


Dunn shuffled his papers while rushing to Conference Room C. The 
trembling in his hands was easy to stifle; it was his stutter he needed 
to worry about. Never did shake that from that time in France... He 
reassured himself, Calm down, Roger. It's not like you're undercover 
anymore... This is supposed to be easier... He reached the door, 
catching sight of the paper posted beside it: 


"RESERVED: MTF Briefing" 


Roger Dunn creaked the door open, instinctively checking his 

9 o'clock and panning to his 3. Doing so, he locked eyes with each 
Foundation rep seated at the long board table. His eyes drifted back 
as he closed the door behind him, keeping a steady gaze on the 
steel-faced man in the center. 


"Dunn. It's about time you got here. You got something to say, or 
should we just leave?" Donald Woods, Director of Task Forces; 
Former MTFC of Beta-22. 


"Terribly sorry about that, sir. This Site's layout is more confusing 
than the Library." His slight smile was met by unimpressed stares. 
"Let's get on with this, shall we?" 


"Yes. Let's start with why you want to form a Task Force more 
expensive than the Seventh Occult War." 


Dunn was taken aback as he inserted his flash drive into the 
console. "Umm.. Of course. Getting to that." As he picked up the 
laser pointer from the podium, his black-haired associate entered. 
"Ah, Laura. Nice of you to join us," he hissed through a lock-jaw 
smile. "Everyone, if we haven't introduced ourselves yet, | am Major 
Roger Dunn, Former Commander of MTF Rho-4, and this is my 
colleague Laura Guzman, Human Resources and Internal Affairs." 
The projector switched on, displaying a large icon of a raised hand 
with "M-3" displayed under it. 


"We are here to propose the formation of a Mobile Task Force, 
designation Mu-3." he swallowed dry as he continued. "I think you'll 
be convinced by the end of this presentation that this Task Force will 
be very beneficial, despite its initial costs." God, | feel like a sellout. 


Laura stepped up, "If you would all look to the proposal letter you 
were issued earlier, you will see the stated objectives for the Team 
and the intended means of achieving those goals." The board leafed 
through the assortment of papers spread across the table. Laura 
leaned over to Dunn, "I thought you were going to set everything up 
neatly." 


"| was pressed for time." 


"| have a question," the bird-nosed Doctor raised his hand. "It seems 
as if this is actually a request for three teams. How do you—" 


"Yes, | will be addressing that; mm.." Dunn scanned the papers on 
the podium in front of him. 


"Nope. I'm sorry," Director Woods interjected. "I just can't see 
prioritizing this sort of team over one that would be more pertinent; 
say, a Containment Task Force." 


More like an Armed... Dunn had a sense of the old commander's 
agenda. "Actually sir, if you'd allow me to continue, I'll state 
expressly why this team must be formed." The Director of Task 
Forces conceded and gestured for him to proceed. 


"Thank you." The Major advanced the slideshow, displaying an 
assortment of graphs. "As you all are probably aware, Marshall, 
Carter, and Dark LLP have increased their acquisition rates to over 
125% compared to last quarter. Our field operatives can barely keep 
up with the amount of items being transported. Informal agent 
squads we've deployed have proven useful for tracking specific 
POls and items, but this is simply not prudent in the long run. This 
MTF will be able to oversee these responsibilities more efficiently 
and act with a faster response time than most Containment forces." 


"What about the operatives we already have in the field?" 


"Ideally, they would be absorbed into the Task Force, sir." Laura 
snatched control from Dunn, clicking through to the 'Divisions' slide. 
"The roles of these agents fall into one of three categories, sir. 
These divisions will be: 'Profilers', the Tracking branch; 'Probes’, the 
Undercover branch; and—" 


"Thieves?" The Doctor spoke up in monotoned disdain. "You expect 
me to believe that the Containment branch of this team will be able 
to just sneak the items under the LLP's nose? Dozens of past 
operatives have had their cover compromised or been outright lost 
trying to secure items from them." 


"Yes. This is why I'm proposing Agent Samuel Aguirre to personally 
train and command the Containment division." 


"A thief to lead thieves, eh Dunn?" Captain Rainier, officer of Internal 
Affairs spoke her piece, "He isn't fit for a Task Force yet. He's little 
more than a consultant at the moment. You expect him to lead a 
whole Containment division?" 


"Agent Aguirre's service and contribution to past missions and MTFs 
has been beyond exemplary. | believe he is more than capable 
enough to be the cornerstone for this team." Dunn turned to Laura, 
"For the other branches, I've chosen Agent Guzman here for the 
head of the 'Profilers'; and, having previously served as senior 
officer within several U-MTFs, Agent Dennis Ford as the liaison for 
the 'Probes'." 


"Your agents' qualifications for these teams is contestable, Dunn." 


"Not at all, ma'am," Laura opened a folder she'd held discreetly at 
her side to this point, dispensing its contents to each member of the 
panel. "| was a Profiler for the FBI for almost fourteen years. Top of 
my class at Quantico, and over 75 unsubs identified, tracked, and 
apprehended on my record. While Agent Ford was a field agent with 
the CIA for five years before his arrival at the Foundation, and 
currently acts as a training instructor for the Foundation's Internal 
Investigations division. He understands the duties of an operative, 
and is also a capable handler." 


"Getting back to my original point: | have to say, while money sure 


ain't everything, it's still pretty damn important." The Director pointed 
his large, weathered hand at the funding tables displayed on the 
screen, "And you're proposing we spend millions on a single branch 
of this team; over ten times as much as the other two cost!" 


"Sir, up to this point our limited sleeper agents have had to rely ona 
strict budget, even dipping into their personal accounts just to keep 
up appearances with MC&D. This funding will be used to supply our 
‘Probes’ with luxury vehicles; fine clothing; upper-class properties; 
and, notably, the funds needed to interface properly with contacts." 


"| just don't see any justification for the use of Foundation resources 
to purchase luxuries." My God... He's a sellout too. 


"Director Woods. | understand that your background is in Armed 
Containment forces, but this team will revolutionize how we track, 
locate, and obtain anomalies moving forward." 


"Well, | don't know how things are done across the pond, but | do 
know that my superiors aren't going to commit this much money to 
an unproven conceptual archetype." 


"| believe, sir, that with an opportunity of this nature there should be 
little, if any, hesitation to take advantage." 


"If | may, Major Dunn," Rainier butted into their face-off. "My major 
concern with this Task Force is the amount of secrecy needed for 
SUCCESS." 


"I'm sorry?" 


"For these ‘Probes’, transmitting their data to outside personnel will 
require a delicate process. One slip, and we lose very valuable 
sleeper agents. How do you plan to reconcile this?" 


"Um, Agent Ford is an extremely thorough operative. | don't expect 
such a mistake would happen under his ward." 


"Just to be safe, Director," she turned to Woods. "! propose that the 
‘Probe’ branch's handlers work in tandem with our own Information 
Security department, as to ensure protection from data breaches." 


Director Woods sat in silence for a minute or so. "| agree with you, 
Rainier. Such a leak could be extremely costly." He stood up, 
picking up the proposal forms, "I'm granting the formation of this 
MTF for a trial period. That means: limited funds, limited personnel, 
and that any information related to currently embedded covert 
assets will be channelled through InfoSec." He slammed a stamp on 
the forms. 


As the board members filed out of the room, Dunn and Guzman 
began picking up the leftover papers. 


"Well, at least it's something." Laura forced a smirk. 


Dunn sighed to himself, "I didn't even get to finish my powerpoint..." 


Application to Form MTF Mu-3: Documents 


To: The Office of The Foundation's 
Director of Mobile Task Forces 

From: Major Roger Dunn <MIF Dept> 

Subject: Application to form MTF Mu-3 


| am attaching this cover letter to 
the application for formation of 
Mobile Task Force Mu-3 to 
expound on why such a Task 
Force should be created. To 
summarize briefly, the intended 
function of this Task Force is to 
collect information on Marshall, 
Carter and Dark, Ltd, and to 
exploit this intel in covert missions 
with the goal of advancing The 
Foundation's own interests. 


One of the main reasons I've 
chosen Marshall, Carter & Dark 
as the focus of this Force, is their 
access to significant amounts of 
funds. While financially supporting 
their actions is an obstacle for 
most other Groups of Interest, 
MC&D has no difficulty when it 
comes to footing the bill for their 
operation. 

The scope of limitations, in a 
group for whom money is no 
object, is nearly non-existent. 
While our current profile of the 
organization suggests they're 
unlikely to intentionally cause a K-
