BASTION-Inst-III

== Secure Containment Installation Pathos - III ==
BASTION-Inst-III’s primary objective is to serve as a final defensive facility for the remainder of the Foundation’s command structure, anomalous entities and surviving personnel after the Coalition War. Large-scale Foundation facility consisting of an entire self-sustaining community including residential housing, and tunnels as well as an extensive underground containment and research complex. The Foundation maintains strict tracking of all personnel and civilians within BASTION such, the facility is often used as a safe location for SCPs requiring additional security and protection.
Due to the number of personnel of duties the SCP Foundation has taken to hiring civilians to assist in running companies as well as to aid in manufacturing and assembly lines. Civilians under the Foundation’s employ are to be treated as level 0.
BASTION is outfitted to handle and maintain anomalous entities of Object-Class: Keter and below. However, due to BASTIONs primary objective of researching and containment, Inst-III does not serve as a main manufacturing facility. Instead, BASTION serves as prolonged housing for anomalous entities and objects.
BASTION-Inst-III's base is fixed on a slight continental rise leaning into the Mid-Atlantic oceanic basin. Its top-most observation levels overlook [EXPUNGED] Trench, Hadal Zone, with a superficial depth of -31,000ft.  
== Foundation External Defense Parameters ==
Following a major lapse in the security of SCI PATHOS-III, an independent Committee was launched under the auspices of the Department of Internal Affairs and the Mobile Task Forces Central Command, regarding the measures currently undertaken by Security Forces to ensure full external defense of the Installation from any inbound attack in a maritime, cyber, aerial, ground and anomalous regard.
=== Maritime Defense Forces ===
A primary concern regarding the general security of the Installation was a failure to intercept naval aircraft or provide an adequate response to aerial threats approaching PATHOS.
Maritime crafts primarily encircle the surface-to-seabed lift affixed to the cover oil rig at a distance so that authorized civilian contractors may enter. Primarily reliant on the usage of intelligence gathering and command and control, the new naval fleet deploys the majority of its actual attacks via the use of stealth aircraft or missiles, however is also capable of direct assault against targets.
Mobile Task Force Delta-7, designation “Northern Storm” where predesignated as a Stationary Task Force and where deployed in mass above and within the waters around PATHOS-III.
* SCPS 'CAESAR’ - The Foundations Flagship, developed by the Manufacturing Department, is defined as a multi-role vessel capable of acting as an aircraft carrier, troop carrier and guided missile platform. The Caesar is an incredible maritime feat and can carry over 5000 personnel.
* SCPS ‘OLYMPUS’ - Technical Research Ship operated by the Intelligence Agency and Gamma-5.

== Pathos Exterior ==
Pathos III’s exterior is predominantly devoid of life given the depths at which it lies. This strategic choice allows for curt access to adjacent geothermal sources, cover via geographic ‘fractures’ surrounding, and an obscured view due to low-light visibility. Pathos III’s predominant material is a composite of steel and pressure-resistant alloys that blend with the desolate environment. Little lighting is present to authenticate the covert nature of Pathos III. However, viewports and the occasional gated moon pools can be expected. 
Regarding a more detailed account of the region's topology, to the immediate west lies the American continent over a looming 8000ft+ continental rise. Such a slope allows Pathos III to ‘cut’ into the ocean's mantle, allowing for underground operations and extensive tunnel networks. To the east is an unmarked, trench currently unexplored. North is a field of geothermal vents, arroyos, and vast ravine - including boulders that create intervals of rolling sedimentary deposits. Finally, southwards is largely enigmatic due to confidential reasoning.
