Maintenance and Operations: With regards to in-field 


Incident 764-34d, the subject played as E-class Agent Jonathan 

, an individual who was part of the team responsible for 
recovering SCP-764). A lighthearted exchange will occur between 
the 'volunteer' and the puppets before the violent slapstick resumes, 
but after this exchange, both puppets will brandish appropriately 
sized weapons and begin to viciously attack the ‘volunteer’. The 
remaining audience will find this even more amusing than the 
previous antics of the puppets, and even the ‘volunteer’ will laugh 
until SCP-764-1 inflicts the final and invariably fatal wound, quipping, 
"That's the way to do it!" 


Another short delay will ensue as the puppets banter, until another 
‘volunteer’ is brought forward and the process repeated, with the 
roles assumed by those coming forward becoming more and more 
bizarre as the show progresses. The show will conclude with the 
puppeteer's death, or after four to eleven individuals are killed, at 
which point the puppeteer will begin removing the puppets and ask, 
"Did you enjoy the show?" and receive as a response from all 
surviving audience members, "Yes, Professor." A show concluded in 
this manner will negate SCP-764's ability to mentally influence 
individuals for anywhere from eleven to twenty-six minutes. 


Addendum: 


Incident Log 764-23b - This containment breach occurred when a D- 
class personnel in the process of moving SCP-764, opened the 
crate containing SCP-764. The door to Hazard Vault MT-_ was 
immediately sealed and locked. A recording device was brought in 
after approximately two and a half minutes to record the remainder 
of the incident. 


D-88778 laughs. 

D-88778: That's ridiculous, you're so - 

D-88778 begins coughing. 

SCP-764-1: Oh no, he's sick! We'll have to operate! 


SCP-764-2: But, Punch, you're not a doctor!

2.Author Note:Non-programmed — also called "Blank" — Vesta 
Seeds can cause major environmental impact and/or disruption to 
local communities; if an unprogrammed Vesta Seed is released or 
its container broken, it must be either burnt or impregnated with 
highly acidic substances (such as hydrochloric acid) before it 
reaches Stage-1 conditions.

Sincerely, 
Assistant Director of Field Operations, Central Africa Divis 


The Global Occult Coalition is the supra-national body 
that rules over the World Parahealth Organisation, one of 
the three regulating members with permanent seats in 
the MCF International Board. It is part of the UN and 
pursues the lasting protection of human population from 
abnormal threats, usually by violent means. 


Two extracts from the review on the Fifth Global Occult Coalition 
Donation, written by Security Executive member Francois Olympe, 
follow: 


(...) 


¢ Actuators are extremely streamlined, precise, 
resilient and miniaturized. These are the only piece 
of tech we can't find anywhere at the time, so we 
won't have any backups, either. As far as | can tell, 
they might be abnormal. 


¢ Most materials are standard and, while expensive 
and difficult to acquire, could be obtained in most 
hardware factories. 


* External UHMWPE! shell dismounted to re- 
purpose the entire device, which reduces neat 
weight while allowing for compact storage. 


Controls and pilot canopy are clearly last-minute 
swaps that make the vehicle harder to drive. 


¢ Power plant swapped with VanOx batteries that 
will give a short operation time. We knew 
something like this could happen. Most of those 
systems implemented by the Servants were Gen 
+2 and further. This means they are trying to sway 
public opinion in their favor by giving us their 
prototype equipment, fitted with materials of a 
deplorable quality an Long re-charging periods will 
also be a problem. 


« Ram-Air Parachute system still embedded into 
structure. Note: | don't feel confident in my ability 
to remove it without incurring in major structural 
damage. It's not very heavy and it doesn't impair 
its movements, so | recommend we ignore it 
entirely. - F. Olympe 


ee) 


(...) To conclude: they gave us an obsolete piece of tech, 
denied us a chance to use it for many significant tasks by 
forbidding its use in front of civilians and refused to let 
me train volunteers to use it or Copy it. This is, in my 
experience, what the Coalition officials do to be 
obstructive without being too open about it: make up as 
many rules as you can in the spot. It is true, however, 
that we have to keep it hidden or people will wonder 
where did a poor non-profit NGO get a ninety-four-million 
euro piece of top-of-the-line robotic hardware. Neither us 
nor the GOC need any additional scrutiny from Normal 
society or other interested parties. 


They are not trying to be helpful. They want to look like 
they are trying to do something for us; that is a lot of 


good press for the Scary Lady. Which is the only thing 
they actually want, that much is evident. However, we 
will make the most of it. 


RECOMMENDED ASSET EXPLOITATION 


First, we need an ex-GOC Specialist able to drive it; I'm 
available, and | know | can drive it. Second, to fully 
exploit its all-terrain capacities we should use it in places 
where normal logistics and transport assets, such as 
trucks or trailers, can't get to or have difficulties 
navigating. Third, to fully exploit its loading capacities, 
the Work Group it gets assigned to should use 
moderately large container-like units; I've heard of UN- 
issued MSU2 that would be perfect for this.
