The Manna Charitable Foundation is directed by the 
International Board, an opaque decision making 
organism formed by MCF members of the highest 
authority and representatives of some of the most 
important experts, benefactors and donors known to us. 
All Continental Secretaries and Mission Directors, the 
leaders of all MCF activities, are involved in this council. 


With an extensive financial and recruitment network 
managed by the partially public activities of the 
Continental Branch and the backing of our many Donors, 
the publicly known MCF constitutes a large, diffuse entity 
numbering well into the thousands. Among its members 
stand out scientists and good will ambassadors, political 
activists, a few celebrities and many normal, anonymous 
people who truly believe they can make a difference. 


However, this ‘evident’ MCF is actually a screen for a far 
larger black box standing right behind it. Acting under 
hundreds of other names and logos, most MCF 
volunteers work in the field organised in Mission Work 
Groups, who work as part of the Mission Branch. Only 
people of the highest conviction in MCF's mission join 
these teams, many of them doing so in accordance to 
their own, previous convictions or recent experiences 
with the supernatural, which often reveal the need for 
cooperative, comprehensive action in a world with 
greater problems than most people have ever imagined. 


++ Where does the Manna Charitable Foundation work? 


The Manna Charitable Foundation operates in different 
Programmes, structured plans that are devised as 
responses to different human calamities occurring all 
over the world. MCF field teams, the Mission Work 


Groups, may be found in the developed world assisting 
the victims of a natural disaster, managing shelters or 
mounting temporary recruitment posts for their 
Continental counterparts. They tread carefully, discreetly, 
knowing that their activities are of interest to many 
others; however, Mission Work Groups are often 
assigned to areas where most ‘others’ have little or no 
influence. 


It is there, in the worst places within the borders of the 
so-called developing countries, in the middle of conflict 
and famine and epidemics and poverty and the rubble of 
broken communities, where Work Groups perform most 
of our Programmes. Formally, they work under the 
umbrella of UN-OCHA, the United Nations Office for the 
Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, and in cooperation 
with other organizations; but even when under direct 
governmental or military supervision, MCF operations 
are kept secret, covered in a mantle of obfuscation and 
half-truths from most of their associates, to allow them 
free use of the Abnormal Assets, supernatural items, 
creatures and methods gifted by our strange and 
multifarious Benefactors. 


Thanks to these resources and to the unquenchable 
stubbornness of its volunteers and executive members, 
the Manna Charitable Foundation keeps bringing 
prosperity, health and peace wherever its Work Groups 


go. 
++ What is your goal? 


Our final ambition is the creation of a world where our 
activities are no longer necessary nor required; that is, a 
world rid of disease, famine, poverty and armed conflict. 
We at the Manna Charitable Foundation ultimately strive 
towards a world united in health, plenty, prosperity and 
peace, and will use whatever resources are made 
available to us to achieve this goal, no matter how 
distant in time it may seem.

About our Generous Benefactors 


+ 
+ Who are the Benefactors of the Manna Charitable Foundation? 


Contrary to popular belief and usual misconceptions, the 
Manna Charitable Foundation does not produce most of 
its abnormal items. Most of what we share with our 
beneficiaries has been shared with us by persons, 


entities or groups whose generosity and continuous 
support makes our activities possible. 


Most of our Benefactors prefer to remain anonymous, 
but some of them might wish to disclose their Donations 
at some point. Please keep tuning in to learn more about 
them! 


++ How can | become a Benefactor? 


Salutations and congratulations from Mission Watch, 
potential Benefactors, ladies, gentlemen and assorted 
metabstractions! You've reached your Personal/ 
Individual/Collective Trans-Plane Bulletin Board 
Terminal! We know you are the ones making most of the 
Abnormal Assets we get, so first of all, let us thank you 
all for your efforts. Every time you imagine something for 
us to use it, our world becomes a slightly brighter place! 


Except for whoever thought a micronized G-star would 
be a good idea to help crops in cold areas of the Earth or 
at untimely seasons. We appreciate the effort, but don't 
do that again, please. 


In any case, please remember to fill all the proper 
documentation if you are able before handing over your 
creations/properties/next of kin to the pertinent Mission 
Branch operatives, and be sure to deliver them to the 
proper Mission Watch or Mission Branch personnel, in 
the proper reality/ies and/or planes of reality. Remember: 
most of our personnel consists on baseline human 
beings so actual, physical documents only benefit every 
part involved. Every bit helps! 


Mission Watch Office. 
++ What are the Abnormal Assets? 


The Abnormal Assets are the anomalous items, methods 
or people the MCF possesses and uses in the course of 
its Programmes. They are the responsibility of the 


Mission Branch and, more specifically, the Work Groups 
they are assigned to. All actively used Abnormal Assets 
must be registered following a format similar to this: 


Asset: — Donation / Specialist. 


[Page title. The Asset name ("-") comes from the person/ 
group/entity that donated it or the name the specialist 
who donates it or offers their abnormal services 
chooses.] 


[Just say where the asset came from. Who gave it to the 
MCF, what methods did they use to transport it to 
wherever the MCF found it... If you want the MCF to 
know, that is. Some times, they can't even know where 
their stuff comes from. ALSO: Please understand that 
MCF items don't have to be donations. They can acquire 
items by purchasing them — something exceedingly 
rare, since those selling only sell for ludicrous amounts 
of money and aren't the type of people the MCF would 
make deals with — or recovering them from the field — 
which is also kind of hard to do, since most items 
recovered from the field are MISSION CONCERNS, not 
ASoe lio. 


Of Interest: 

[Short-hand, concise description composed of snippets 
that describe what the asset is and does; separated by 
commas. Think "SCP tags", only you can write whatever 
fits the item, as long as it is something the MCFer who 
writes the document would find important. Write snippets 
about the potentially dangerous aspects of the item in 
CAPITAL LETTERS, but remember: the MCF will see 
opportunities instead and before risks. Concentrate on its 


Graciously dc 


qualities and possible uses. ] 


Asset Summary: 

[The DESCRIPTION-like part of the item documentation. 
Be sure to add who writes this, by the way, it's more 
important than the way they wrote it; be it an academic 
article or a personal impression on the item itself, a diary, 
internal memos, a newsletter, a blog, a string of 
comments in a forum or an extract from a book or a 
manual, even a pamphlet or a transcript from vocal 
report are fine. Go crazy. The crucial aspect of this part 
of the article is that it has to explain why is this Asset 
useful to the MCF's beneficiaries, and it does it in a way 
the Mission Watch personnel have decided it represents 
better than any other document on the matter WHAT is 
the item and HOW CAN IT BE USEFUL. Begin and end 
by stating who is writing the text, listing in the end of the 
article who the person in question is within the MCF, 
their background, why should they be trusted to say what 
they say. More than one author or group authoring are 
possible, as well as more than one article or text from 
different authors.] 


Maintenance and Operation: 

[What, did you think all these wonderful gifts of God are 
free to be shared with the lesser of His children? Get out. 
Some of them are horrid creatures of unnatural origin! 
Explain what should be done to keep the anomalous 
effect going, whatever it is, and how to use it effectively 
in a beneficial way. Do it in three main flavors: 1) with a 
list of items written as a paragraph, opened by a bold 
number, like this very paragraph will do; 2) with a table of 
different maintenance and operation instructions, such 
as done with the 3rd Vesta Donation; 3) with simple 
sentences including "No concerns noted." Remember: If 
you work for the MCF, you want this stuff to keep active. 
Make certain people with proper experience are given 
the proper tasks, and make certain these tasks are 
adjusted to the needs the item may have for your 
beneficiaries to... well, keep benefiting from it.] 


Security Restrictions: 

[What should MCF Work Group members take into 
account when using this item to avoid being too open 
about it. The MCF operates in relative secret, and will try 
to keep it that way, but keep in mind they are NOT the 
other Foundation. Run away from amnestics and 
memetic kill agents, do not use codenames or 
passwords; this section should be a compendium of 
advise on how not to be seen! using your items by other 
groups. | 


Safety Concerns: 

[While "Safe For All", "Restricted to Trained Volunteers", 
"Restricted to Specialists" or "Restricted to Executives", 
depending on the powers and potential messes the MCF 
could unleash by using and misusing the item, sound like 
item classes and clearance levels, they are not. If 
something is safe for all, it literally means it's not gonna 
hurt anybody. If it's restricted to trained volunteers, 
specialists or executives, it must be because it requires a 
certain experience to be properly exploited (TVs), 
abnormal capacities or intimate knowledge of the asset 
(specialists) or the strategic perspective required to plan 
far ahead that only Executive members, with their insight 
in local humanitarian problems and their considerable 
expertise in both abnormalities and concerns, can 
address properly. It is frequent that more flexible, 
descriptive restrictions may be added.]

++ Document Tabulation Recommendations 


So you want to write an MCF Document? Well, you have 
options. For starters, you might want to try and build 
simpler documents, but the thing is you might want to 
use our dedicated THEME. If that would be the case, 
please copy-paste these lines at the beginning of your 
document/tale: 


[[module CSS]] 

@import url(/css:mcf-quantico-font/code/1); 
@import url(/css:mcf-sansation-font/code/1 ); 
@import url(/component:MCF-theme/code/1); 
[[/module]] 


What, you wanna use our Abnormal Assets format too? 
Well, there you go: 


[[div style="background: url(/local--files/3rd-

Footnotes 
1.Oh, let's get this over with. 


SCP- , among others. 


Mr. S claimed prior knowledge of the Foundation and was laying 
in wait for agents, attempting to ambush them by firing SCP-674 into 
monitors attached to his home security system upon their approach. 
This, of course, had absolutely no effect on the agents who 
immediately took him into custody and seized SCP-674. Under 
questioning, Mr. S said he had discovered the properties of 
SCP-674 when he idly aimed and fired it at an episode of the 
cartoon , when one of the main characters was wearing a 
graduate's cap and singing about geography. He claims that after 
the character recovered, it wagged a finger at him and specifically 
warned that the SCP Foundation was "going to get him" if he 
continued to fire the device before returning to its song. 


Mr. S perished while held in confinement. Security tapes show 
he had been alone and engaged in a heated one-sided argument 
with the security camera in his cell before being struck down by 
three .38 caliber handgun bullets. 


Testing Log SCP-674-1 

Note, this text log was retrieved from the hard-drive of Dr. ‘Ss 
partially melted laptop in his private quarters. Dr. had checked 
SCP-674 out for testing and it was also recovered from his quarters. 
Dr. ‘s whereabouts are unknown.

Change the World 


Last thing Priscilla Locke remembered, she was drenched in sweat, 
her clothes being torn off of her and the crack of a gun close by, 
followed by pain and deafness. Then she was standing upright, her 
suit intact and freshly absorbing her sweat. The room was stuffy and 
warm, the door opened, revealing the hall outside coated in dust, 
unused and untouched. 


It was there with her. She must have been standing in the same 
spot. It still had the wires sprouting from its fount. That it was wired 
meant that they hadn't found it. She wasn't sure if that was a good 
thing or not. She had the benefit of knowing exactly what had 
happened, and where she was. If anyone else had survived, waking 
up in a whole new world for the first time... 


Her pockets were empty; she couldn't be sure her apartment even 
existed here. If the Foundation found her with this, they might 
believe her when she said she was a Foundation agent from another 
time and place. Then... what? D-Class designation? They only did 
that to race traitors and other subversives. But there was no way of 
knowing what they'd do to her.
