In the distance, the helicopters could be heard closing in. It wasn't 
but a few minutes before a red and blue news helicopter landed in 
the rail-yard with the words 'Sasakwa County Press' decaled on the 
side. Dietrich and Bridge backed up as the dust cloud enveloped 
them. A slavic-looking gentleman with tussled brown hair in a very 
expensive looking hunter green suit hopped out and hustled over to 
Dietrich and Bridge. 


"Agent Lurk and Doctor Bridge?" 
Bridge shouted over the helicopter. "That's us!" 
"Show me yer ID!" Dietrich yelled. 


The man gave him a perturbed look, then fumbled for his 
Foundation badge and tossed it to him. Dietrich nodded in 


satisfaction. "Aleksander Foxx, Agent... no offense! Assassins are 
tryin’ to put us in the dirt!" 


Foxx nodded and motioned for them to get into the helicopter. All 
three hustled inside, but not before Foxx pulled the pin of an 
incendiary grenade and tossed it into the open SUV. "Leave the car! 
We're taking off!" 


KER-FOOM 
The car erupted into black smoke and flames as the helicopter rose 
up over the hills in the direction of their final destination. 


Foxx leaned in close to Dietrich and Bridge. "When we land, rooms 
will be set up for you. You will be debriefed in the morning. Clear?" 


Both nodded. Dietrich then leaned back in his seat next to Merle. 
"We made it."

Excerpt from Bowe Commission Probablistic Risk 
Assessment of "Project Able" 

Authored by Dr. Lara Aritza, Dr. Janet Byrnes, Dr. Kain 
Crow, Dr. Arvind Desai, Dr. Reginald Topher, Alpha-1 
Alpha Romeo (Mobile Task Force Leader) 


... Although SCP-076-2's violent, capricious, and 
sociopathic nature presents a severe risk to Omega-7 
personnel, we consider it unlikely that Omega-7 will 
experience this kind of internal conflict, assuming that 
the Task Force completes at least one mission per week. 
Further safeguards are discussed in Section 7A... 


...S9CP-105, although still in adolescence, is clearly 
willing to work with the Foundation to contain anomalies. 
Its ability to influence events from long-range would 
strongly benefit applications such as espionage, 
reconnaissance, and direct conflict with anomalies... 


...Given the current state of affairs, this probabilistic risk 
assessment has deemed the usage of anomalous 
objects within Mobile Task Force Omega-7 "Pandora's 
Box" to fall within acceptable operating parameters. 
Omega-7 is cleared to operate from a risk assessment 
standpoint... 


...Postscript: Congratulations to all members of 
Pandora's Box. You are the first of a new breed of 
defenders. The world has changed a great deal since the 
inception of the Foundation. Where once we contained, 
now we must exploit. Anomalies are becoming more 
dangerous, more widespread, and more common. Once, 
we were Static, reacting to threats. With the formation of 
Mobile Task Force Omega-7, we are proactive. Not only 
will the Foundation contain anomalies, but we will 
contain them before they can become anomalies. We 
wish the best of luck to all members of Pandora's Box. 


CONTAINMENT FATALITY 


On 5/27/ , all personnel at Containment Area-25 were 
killed when the nuclear warhead countermeasure was 
activated in order to contain a severe containment 
breach caused by SCP-076-2. 


At the time, SCP-076-2 was a part of Mobile Task Force 
Omega-7, but had not been assigned to a mission in at 
least months. To help alleviate its increasingly 
destructive activities, SCP-076-2 was introduced to SCP- 

to see if its psychic capabilities could be used to calm 
SCP-076. 


However, upon contact with SCP-076-2, SCP- caused 


the immediate disintegration of SCP-076-2's explosive 
collar, enabling it to rampage through the site, killing 
numerous personnel as well as releasing SCP- from 
containment. Proper containment measures could not be 
established as most of the surviving personnel had been 
recently transferred and were still unfamiliar with 
Area-25's evacuation protocols. Keter Containment 
Specialist Santosh Desai activated the nuclear warhead 
countermeasure before dying to SCP-__'s 
cognitohazardous effect. All personnel on site were 
killed, but SCP-076-2 and SCP-__ were contained 
successfully. Desai was awarded a posthumous 
Foundation Star for his act of bravery. 


BEST PRACTICES: 


* Take it upon yourself to always be up-to-date on 
site and area safety protocols.

SCP-709: Eye of the Forest 


Item #: SCP-709 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-709 is currently set up in 
TA-F2, Sector-28. Any staff member is permitted to access the 
sphere, provided they schedule the time in advance, so as to avoid 
conflict. Class D personnel wishing to use the sphere require 
permission from their direct supervisor. 


Description: SCP-709 is a spherical "tree house" assembled from a 
kit provided by the company of Vancouver Island. It has been 
furnished as a small apartment suitable for overnighting. When a 
person looks out the window for a period of more than three to five 
minutes, they will begin to see what appear to be alternative 
versions of the forest and its inhabitants, such as a "four-winged 
bird" or a range of bipedal cougars walking down a trail. These 
visions are not consistent between viewing sessions, or between 
observers during a single session. They can be recorded with 
conventional video or film equipment, but the equipment will not 
record the same sights as living observers; neither will different 
cameras record the same images, even during simultaneous 
recording sessions. 


Addendum: SCP-709 first came to Foundation attention when its 
owner began to complain to his psychiatrist of hallucinations 
connected to the tree house. One of our contacts, the psychiatrist 
informed us of this anomalous case. After a covert visit to the tree 
house on // , Agent Talmor reported that the sphere was, in fact, 
an SCP candidate. On her recommendation, the psychiatrist 
encouraged her patient to replace the sphere. Posing as a local 
rubbish removal company, a team of agents collected the original 
sphere, and installed it in TA-F2. The original owner no longer 
complains of hallucinations, and ascribes his visions to simple 
imagination. 


I'm busy that day.

Hi Maria, 
As you may have heard, five weapons technicians were 


killed yesterday in an accident at Site-42's weapons 
testing lab. The cause of the accident was determined to 


be a malfunction in a MARK IV Gluon Separator, a 
prototype weapon that | had shelved almost a decade 
ago. It was sitting in the armory under Level 4 clearance 
until yesterday. 


Two of the technicians involved, Rudolf Trellis and Shin 
Feretti, somehow received clearance to access the 
device. They were Level 2 technicians. | didn't authorize 
this and | haven't heard anything about reviving that 
project. Would you be kind enough to take a look at the 
records and tell me who authorized them? 


Thank you,

Hi Arvind, 


There's no record of Rudolf Trellis or Shin Feretti being

of Task Forces, and get MTF Beta-1 to look into it. How

Dear Arvind, 


Your request for whistleblower protection regarding 
Mobile Task Force Alpha-9 has been reviewed and 
denied on the grounds that there is nothing to blow the 
whistle on. All aspects of Alpha-9 were reviewed by the 
Ethics Committee already, otherwise it wouldn't exist at 
all. 


| know you're thinking about Santosh's death. Please 
don't dwell on the past. It won't bring him back. | know 
this email doesn't touch on nearly as many things as it 
should, so I'd like to sit down with you sometime and talk 
about this entire issue. Talk like old times. How does 
lunch Thursday sound?

To the Global Occult Coalition Undersecretary, 


| have stolen an anomalous item and am using it to 
ensure that this transmission will not be noticed. | have 
information that may be of use to the Global Occult 
Coalition regarding activities of the SCP Foundation and 
wish to claim whistleblower protection. 


One week ago, two technicians were ordered to test a 
shelved prototype weapon in Foundation Site-42. The 
device promptly malfunctioned, exploded, killed the 
testers and three other innocent technicians, and may 
result in the disintegration of a 500,000 square-meter 
testing facility. | recently had a conversation with O5-7 
(one of the leaders of the Foundation), who explained 
that she wished to use the weapon in Project 
Resurrection, which is an attempt to recreate a defunct 
Foundation special forces group that utilized anomalous 
SCP objects (see the attached document for more 
information). 


Mobile Task Force Omega-7 resulted in the nuclear 
destruction of entire Sites, the release of numerous 
potentially world-ending anomalies, and caused reality 
itself to fundamentally change through the actions of just 
two or three different maniacs. Now the Foundation is 
trying to recreate this disastrous endeavor through 
Mobile Task Force Alpha-9. | have already tried to stop 
this from the inside but nobody will listen, forcing me to 
turn to the GOC. | will relay as much information to the 
GOC as | can regarding this project whenever possible.

It is up to you to decide if this is sufficient proof. At the

Dear Janet, 


Thank you for lunch. It was terrific, but not as much as 
our discussion. 

You are right. Santosh may be gone, but | can honor him 
by doing my best to uphold the Foundation's mission. He 
died to protect the world, and | will not let that sacrifice 
be in vain. 


| have spent the day thinking about it, and | am 
rescinding my concerns about Mobile Task Force 
Alpha-9. At the very least, | can help guide it and keep us 
from repeating the mistakes of the past. | will be 
speaking with O5-7 about how | can help. 


Again, | greatly appreciated our lunch. You were right 
about what you said; | just needed an outside 
perspective. The world truly has changed, but I've been 
too caught up to see it. | look forward to working on this 
with you. Mobile Task Force Alpha-9 may truly be our 
last hope.
