FOOTAGE 


1. We have received your message with regards to the concerns 
about the "heretical" nature of this project. Director Jafari has 
assured us that our loyalty is to Iran, not necessarily the Islamic 
Republic thereof, and if the /ranzamin is benefitted by a return to the 
Old Faiths of our land, that is what we shall do. Our office does not 
disagree. 


2. | would like to begin by asking that further commendations be 
bestowed upon any operatives involved in securing this specimen 
from QA'IDAH-SCP. This is a sentiment expressed both by myself 
and by those members of the Organization, both human and Qjinni, 
who abide by the tenets of the Old Faiths. My interest, of course, is 
purely scientific; nevertheless, there are whispers around the facility 
that we may be close to the crowning of a new King and the 
dawning of a golden age. 


3. Likewise, | would additionally like to preface this with further 
assurances that we are on the verge of amending the horrific 
travesty that occurred in Kerman Province some ten years ago. 
While QA’"IDAH-SCP was successful in their theft of our property, we 
may soon be able to retaliate for that (among other) offenses 


tenfold. | personally appreciate the willingness of the Organization to 
forgive my security error in that instance and to permit me the 
chance to gain forgiveness. | have given JANNAH ACTUAL my 
assurances that this would be forthcoming in the past, and after ten 
long years, it appears to be almost ready. 


WITH REGARDS TO THE RECOVERED SPECIMEN (PROJECT 
4533): 


4. Humanoid entity PROJECT 4533 is 196 cm in height and 
approximately 82 kg in mass. PROJECT 4533 has claimed an age 
of nearly three millenia; he appears to be approximately forty to 
forty-five years of age. The entity's skin is tattooed in several places 
with depictions of heinous acts and creatures; the entity claims not 
to recall how these tattoos came to be on his person. 


5. Our cyberspecialists have recovered many iterations of 
documentation regarding PROJECT 4533's time spent with 
QA'IDAH-SCP. Some of these details seem incongruous when 
faced with the reality of the individual presently in our care, 
particularly the depictions of violence and rage. When asked, 
PROJECT 4533 has stated that many falsehoods and half-truths 
were disseminated about him in an attempt to dissuade outsiders, 
including our organization, from attempting to recover him for fear of 
the "rage state" that was claimed to befall any soul so unfortunate as 
to meet PROJECT 4533. | cannot overstate that this man has 
demonstrated nothing but calm serenity while in our possession, and 
while one cannot rule out the possibility of a ruse, | personally feel it 
is much more likely that QA'IDAH-SCP has simply perpetuated 
falsehoods in the hopes of covering up its blunders.

6. Several components of the QA"IDAH-SCP documentation simply 
cannot be tested due to lack of access to materials claimed to exist. 
However, when asked about the "ability to produce weapons from 
empty space", PROJECT 4533 demonstrated the ability to 
spontaneously generate any of these three objects at will: 


* abound barsom composed of almond branches, cotton and 
tobacco stalks, bound together with intersecting grapevines. 
When held by PROJECT 4533 and brought into the vicinity of 
growing plants (effect radius seems to be approximately two 
kilometers), soil fertility increases substantially, crop yields 
grow, and the quality of fruits, vegetables, and fibers produced 
therefrom is remarked upon as being notably greater. 

a scroll written in an indecipherable alphabet. When asked to 
read from the scroll, PROJECT 4533 has read words in what 
is believed to be authentic Avestan in what was likely an 
authentic accent; while the language is largely preserved even 


in contemporary Iran, if PROJECT 4533's claims are accurate, 
the language is his native one and this alphabet is its original 
one. 

* arod or mace composed of an unknown metal or mineral, 
topped with the head of a bull. PROJECT 4533 has not 
explained the purpose or function of this object as yet, though 
he claims that its purpose will become clear in time. 


7. The claims by QA'IDAH-SCP that PROJECT 4533's effective 
"immortality" is tied to the stone tomb they are in possession of has 
been definitively disproven. With express permission from 
PROJECT 4533, two of our operatives tested his mortality with use 
of two semi-automatic handguns. As expected, his body fell to the 
ground and decomposed rapidly. However, a new body for 
PROJECT 4533 emerged in a blinding light within the hour, as 
predicted by him. He has explained his regenerative abilities as a 
function of his level of communion with his fravashi. He has said that 
his urvan will be returned to the material world as many times as is 
needed to bring about a greater world. 


WITH REGARDS TO RELATED ARTIFACTS AND SPECIMENS: 


8. We have gathered some evidence about the location of 
PROJECT 15, the BLADE OF THE SULALESI. It has been moved 
between different QA'IDAH-SCP safehouses since its theft in 
Kernan Province, likely to protect it from our reclamation attempts. 
Should When CASE ASCENSION occurs, PROJECT 15 is likely to 
return to our control without any further efforts on our part. 


9. PROJECT 4533 has informed us of an entity currently held by 
QA'IDAH-SCP and identified as SCP-073. We request any 
documentation or information you can send us about this entity 
within the Organization's knowledge. PROJECT 4533 is unwilling or 
unable to describe this entity coherently, referring to it only in 
passing, in metaphor, or in riddles. We believe PROJECT 4533 is 
identifying this SCP-073 as the Angra Mainyu or as a powerful agent 
thereof; he has suggested that the entity is toxic to all vegetative life, 
has been modified to contain mechanical and otherwise artificial 
parts within him, and most damningly, appears to be cooperating 
with the QA'IDAH-SCP and its assorted heresies. 


10. We additionally require any intelligence regarding the ajinn 
houses and any allies who will side with us in this effort. The 
activation of PROJECT 15 necessarily requires the crowning of a 
legitimate King; PROJECT 4533 obviously fills that role. This will, of 
course, require alterations to the present government of Iran that the 
current government will...not cooperate with willingly. Nevertheless, 
the rising tide of the Daevas (see PROJECT 02, MEMORANDUM 
#1 for details) will require a counter from an army of Ahuras, and the 
world will thank us for its salvation before all is done.

1. Itis noted that the specific species of these plants appear to be 
indigenous mostly within the borders of Azerbaijan. Minor arguments 
have occurred about the significance of this. 


movement patterns are erratic, and considering that all attempts at 
communicating with them have failed, it is assumed that they are 
not. 


Inside the central room of the underground floor is a circular hole 
(designated SCP-700-1). It is 10 meters deep and with a radius of 
1.5 m. An iron hatch is connected to the hole. There are 0.3 ml 
plastic syringes attached to the walls, all positioned one meter 
above the bottom of SCP-700-1. At the center of the hole's floor is a 
1 x 1 m grate that leads into an unlit chamber. Removing the 
syringes from the wall is possible; however, new syringes will "grow" 
to replace the lost ones a few moments after their removal. 


The syringes at the bottom of SCP-700-1 are constantly producing a 
yellow liquid, composed primarily of human [DATA 
EXPUNGEDJcluding menses. This mixture produces a fragrance 
deemed to be "very attractive" to all humans that come in contact 
with it. If SCP-700-1 is left open, the smell will spread through all the 
rooms of the building. 


Upon smelling this fragrance for a small period of time (usually 
minutes), subjects will begin to unconsciously move towards 
SCP-700-1. If not stopped, they will throw themselves down 
SCP-700-1. The fall will usually result in fractured bones, but all 
observed subjects seemed to be unaware of the fact, concentrating 
solely on consuming the liquid dropped by the syringes. 


After a human falls inside SCP-700-1, the hatch will automatically 
close, and loud mechanical sounds will be heard coming from an 
undetermined place within SCP-700. At this point, opening 
SCP-700-1's hatch will reveal a solid concrete floor instead of the 
hole, and will also bring the sounds to a halt. Approximately 
minutes after closing, SCP-700-1 will reopen by itself, revealing the 
hole again, but the human inside will have disappeared. During the 
tests, all recording devices (like cameras) placed inside SCP-700-1 
were destroyed by unknown means as soon as the hatch closed. 


hours after the disappearance of the subject, a new instance of 
SCP-700-2 will be found in one of SCP-700's rooms.

Contents of the SCP Foundation Special 
Edition Box® 


In the box you can find a single disc, compatible with all modern 
computers and operating systems. A handbook containing useful 
information about the game's world (such as locations, task forces, 
groups of interest and non-playable personnel) is also included. 
Finally, as a participant of Project Pioneer, your Special Edition Box 
will contain a letter written by His Majesty the Administrator. 


Introduction to the Foundation Game 


The game takes place in the Pre-Exodus Era on Old Earth. It was an 
age where rejuvenation treatments, quark reactors and interstellar 
travel were only dreamed of. To make things even worse, the 
fantasy world of the game is full of anomalous objects and 
phenomena. They vary greatly in appearance from a hostile 
sculpture that moves when left unobserved to self-replicating cakes 
and portals to alternate realities. With thousands of such anomalies 
around, the human race is on the brink of extinction. Their survival is 
in the hands of the Foundation, a secret scientific and military 
organization dealing with these objects. 


As you might have guessed by now, your job will be to lead the 
Foundation. Luckily, you won't have to handle this overwhelming 
task alone; the game supports up to 13 co-operative players. You 


can play as the overseers, receiving reports from your subordinates 
and issuing orders. The game is supported by our company's 
massive server park (courtesy of our generous sponsor, Miss Vicky 
Dotte), capable of simulating a world complete with non-playable 
characters, Foundation sites and anomalies in containment or 
roaming freely. 


Your goal is to survive 200 in-game years by keeping these objects 
from ending the world as we know it. It sounds challenging enough 
in itself, but you will also have to face rival agencies attempting to 
create, destroy, use or sell anomalous objects. (The game even 
includes an anomalous version of our company.) To achieve a 
perfect rating, you have to do all this without the public ever learning 
about the anomalies. To make this a little easier, amnestics are 
available in the game, even though they were actually invented 
much later. 


We hope that you will find this game exciting, educational and most 
importantly, fun. 


A word from the Administrator 


Congratulations! Receiving this game means that you are one of the 
best young minds of our planet, elected to participate in Project 
Pioneer. Take pride in that, but don't forget that you are yet to face 
the real challenges. You can take part in mankind's never ending 
journey and spread life in the Universe. When your training is 
finished, thirteen of you will lead a spaceship housing tens of 
thousands of people to terraform and inhabit a faraway planet. 


The game you just got is a tool for your training. Playing this game 
can teach you how to supervise vast projects and make decisions 
with global consequences. If you can secure and contain all the 
weirdness that will be thrown at you, then you will be capable of 
protecting the citizens left in your care. Learning about Old Earth's 
culture and the wonderful things its people managed to achieve with 
their primitive technology will be an educational experience too. 


I'll let you in on a little-known fact about my personal history. Of 
course, you have been taught that | was one of the 13 commanders 


leading a ship to this planet. You also learned my real name along 
with the title Administrator, kindly awarded to me by the populace 
after the tragic accident that claimed the life of all my colleagues. 
However, the name dearest to me is something no one calls me 
anymore: O5-6. The sixth member of the Overseer Council. That's 
right, we had a game almost identical to the one you are holding 
during our training on our home planet. Playing it is what made us 
into a real team. We took a liking to its terminology and continued 
calling each other by numerical designations even after we 
completed the game. The current version features a few objects 
added by my request, | hope you will have a good time figuring out 
how to deal with them. 


The most important thing | realized while playing the Foundation 
Game was that even a single mistake can lead to the destruction of 
everything we hold dear. Keep that in mind, and become the wise 
commander your people deserve. 


Good luck!

The Doctor: 

Alack! Plague is too common in this time 

And skin is feasted as it festers, boiled 

And young babes die, mouths mewling, caked in grime. 
By Caduceus, is this world all spoiled? 

By winter, some say, this world will be gone! 
Ye Elder Gods of Greece, guide my wise Way. 
Hermes, kind runner, see my will is done, 
Deliver unto Zeus as | shall pray. 

Bestow upon me, healthful, magic staves, 

The holy spice within them shall save life,
