SDS Foundation

⠀
 
The Secure-Defend-Subjugate Foundation (Usually known as the "SDS Foundation") is a Anomalous Research & Containment Organization which operates in the shadows to maintain safety and normalcy for humankind, alongside preventing human extinction without direct public interference except if it is deemed necessary. While the public may know that there is an organization called the "SDS Foundation", most details and information regarding its operations are classifiedImagine it like Area 51, People know it exists but don't know what happens in it..
The SDS Foundation operates beyond governmental jurisdiction and is entrusted by most major national governments with the task of containing anomalous objects, entities, and phenomena due to their proficiency when it comes to this. Many of these anomalies pose a significant threat to global security by threatening either physical or psychological harm. All of them undermine the natural laws that the people of the world implicitly trust in. The SDS Foundation maintains an extensive database of information regarding anomalies requiring Special Defensive Safeguards, commonly referred to as "SDS". The SDS Foundation operates to maintain normalcy, so that the worldwide civilian population can live and go on with their daily lives without fear, mistrust, or doubt in their personal beliefs, and to maintain human independence from paranormal influence.
== Lore Appearances==
*The SDS made its first lore appearance in 149 despite being previously established to exist, issuing a warning over the awakening of SDS-003, giving frequent updates until its recontainment.
*They also warned about a asderoid which contained SDS-003 in it after the return of humanity from the Backrooms on 164
*They made a brief conversation appearance with Bornuvia in 170 due to the discovery of SDS-007. Following this the existance of "Void Infections" was classified.
*They held an announcement when SDS-001 was activated on Theia. Full transcription is on its page. During this era the SDS Foundation became the de facto world government on theia until the crisis ended.
*They occupied N'djamena twice, first in the initial collapse of Bornuvia, under the command of MAS-Omega re-entered the occupation after Zirnec fell, until a provisional government was set up.
*They signed the controversial Quaeson act with the SDSB which led to the rise of the Insurgency.
*During the final parts of the "Insurgency" Arc, the SDS ewas featured in an antagonistic role, attempting to recapture SDS-006 but failing.
*During the outbreak of SDS-001 the SDS attempted to maintian order, and eventually magaed to make it mostly calm down.
* They intervened in Polsk after they released SDS-015 and fought to recontain it with a exclusion zone and specialised plasma weapons. The SDS Eventually used nuclear force to stop it from escaping. This caused Polsk to not trust the SDS.
*In 248 they announced the beginning of making the Backrooms Enterance Authority on Theia in collaboration with the SDSB. Polsk requested the SDS make it be a public diplomatic zone, but this was rejected.
* The construction of the Backrooms Enterance Authority, now officially listed in Foundation documents as "Dimensional-Site-99" officially began in the year 267 after various tests and research.
===Polsk-SDS Schism & Crimson Cults===
*The SDS Foundation began investigating the "Great Uniter"'s army of Crimson Cults. Polsk also helped against the SDS' wishes. The SDS, trying to be useful, shared some of the intel they had with Polsk.
*During this they sent in MAS Taskforces Psi-13 and Xi-8 to capture Bongus by doing a brief occupation of Bongustan, which was ended via administering amnestics which prevented public knowledge of this occurence.
* Polsk did not appreciate the SDS not handing over classified details regarding the Interrogation of Bongus, so they occupied the abandoned Site-2, which lead to a SDS retalliation that Polsk was not able to defeat. The SDS managed to mostly beat them back, and handed over their incomplete document regarding the Crimson Cults so they would stop.
*Polsk however did not stop, and made DCAE as a rival organization in their quest to "overthrow the SDS". Despite this, DCAE itself secretly held positive-ish relations with the SDS.
*Polsk and the SDS were eventually forced to cooperate as the Crimson Cults began launching raids in Theian nations such as Osania and Polsk itself. During the latter raid the Church of Mekhane provided major support as a unlikely ally.
===Post-Crimson Crisis actions===
*During the disappearance of Miraak's Crystal the SDS-Spacefleet sent a fleet to investigate a nearby nebula for it, in which they encountered a Leviathan and an abandoned asteroid base.
*The Luvurian and Tritonian Governments found out that the SDS Foundation was responsible for the incidents regarding the nation of Izumo, leading to a controversy regarding them, which they brushed off as fake news.
*The SDS and AOF collaborated on a extrasolar project to create a redoubt for the human race in another part of the galaxy in case of cataclysm, which lead to the creation of the Astria Colony.
*In 321 the SDS Foundation signed a peace treaty with Adytium leading to them collaborating.

|-|Facility Classifications=
=====Facility Classes=====
Facilities designated as sites are covert facilities, Their buildings are known to the public but are disguised under government or corporate fronts. Many of them are built near civilian populations.
Facilities designated as areas are clandestine facilities, meaning that civillians are not aware of their existance atall. They are usually built far away from civillian populations and usually contain only the most dangerous anomalies, Along with extreme failsafes incase of breach including nuclear warheads.
Outposts are small facilities subordinate to a nearby Site or Area, used to contain immobile objects or to monitor anomalous locations.
Observation posts are tiny facilities built in a multitude of locations used to log regional communications and areas for flagged content or possible anomalies.
===Facility Classifications===
Classifications are used to designate what purposes the facilities are used.
====Armed====
Armed facilities are heavily armed facilities with heavy security and MAS presence. They usually contain heavily dangerous entities or are under threat of outside attack.
====Biological====
Biological facilities deal with infectious or biohazardous anomalies. They are always isolated and quarentined to prevent escape of any contained infections.
====Containment====
Containment facilities are facilities build specifically for containing anomalous objects.
====Dimensional====
Dimensional facilities contain extradimensional threats or entities that warp spacetime.
====Humanoid====
Humanoid facilities contain sapient or intellegant entities capable of understanding and complying with instructions. They usually have specialise dliving suites for entities and could be considered a prison for anomalous people.
====Exclusionary====
Most often used by Δt personnel, exclusionary Sites are unaffected by reality-changing effects, and are often built outside of reality itself.
====Extraplanetary====
Extraplanetary facilities are typically constructed on planets or celestial bodies which do not include Yata or Theia.
====Extrasolar====
Extrasolar facilities are located outside of The Yata System.
====Lunar====
A Lunar facility is located on Luna or Doluro, for the containment of extraplanetary anomalies.
====Protected====
Protected facilities are safe zones away from anomalous activity in any form and no such things are allowed in their area.
====Provisional====
Provisional facilities are built around an immobile entity, They usually only contain a single entity.
====Reliquary====
Reliquary facilities contain religious or historically significant objects.
====Research====
Research sites are designed for handling or researching anomalous objects or developement of new containment procedures.
====Storage====
Storage facilities are meant for containment of non-anomalous or inert anomalous objects with no risk of interaction.
====Xenobiological====
Xenobiological sites specialise in the containment and study of organisms with biology differing dramatically from most Yata or Theia resident species, typically due to an extraterrestrial, extradimensional or other anomalous origin.
|-|Security Clearances=
==Security Clearance Levels==
Security Clearance levels are different levels of access granted to foundation personell. They range from little to no access to unlimited access to data and SDS entities. They are granted on knowlege needed to know instead of if it is thought they are "ready for it" so advancing up levels may be difficult.
===Security Clearances===
===Level 0===
Level 0 security clearances are given to non-essential personnel with no need to access information regarding anomalous objects or entities in Foundation containment. Level 0 access is typically held by personnel in non-secured clerical, logistics, or janitorial positions at facilities with no access to operational data.
===Level 1===
Level 1 security clearances are given to personnel working in proximity to but with no direct, indirect, or informational access to anomalous objects or entities in containment. Level 1 security clearances are typically granted to personnel working in clerical, logistics, or janitorial positions at facilities with containment capability or otherwise must handle sensitive information.
===Level 2===
Level 2 security clearances are given to security and research personnel that require direct access to information regarding anomalous objects and entities in containment. Most research staff, Field Strike Squadron, and containment specialists hold a Level 2 security clearance.
===Level 3===
Level 3 security clearances are given to senior security and research personnel that require in-depth data regarding the source, recovery circumstances, and long-term planning for anomalous objects and entities in containment. Most senior research staff, project managers, security officers, response team members, and Mobile Assault Squadron operatives hold a Level 3 security clearance.
===Level 4===
Level 4 security clearances are given to senior administration that require access to site-wide and/or regional intelligence as well as long-term strategic data regarding Foundation operations and research projects. Level 4 security clearances are typically only held by Site Directors, Security Directors, or Mobile Assault Squadron Commanders.
===Level 5===
Level 5 security clearances are given to the highest-ranking administrative personnel within the Foundation and grant effectively unlimited access to all strategic and otherwise sensitive data. Level 5 security clearances are typically only granted to O5 Council members and selected staff.
|-|Personnel Classifications=
===Class A===
Class A personnel are those deemed essential to SDS strategic operations, and are not allowed direct access to anomalies under any circumstances. When circumstances require Class A personnel to be in direct proximity to such anomalies (such as in the case of facilities housing containment units), Class A personnel are not allowed access to the areas of the facility containing such anomalies and are to be kept in secured areas at all times. In the case of an emergency, Class A personnel are to be immediately evacuated to a designated and secure off-site location. Overseer Council members are always Class A personnel.
===Class B===
Class B personnel are those deemed essential to local SDS operations, and may only be granted access to objects, entities, and anomalies that have passed quarantine and have been cleared of any potential mind-affecting effects or memetic agents. In the event of a containment breach or hostile action against a SDS facility, Class B personnel are to be evacuated to a designated, secure off-site location as soon as possible.
===Class C===
Class C personnel are personnel with direct access to most anomalies not deemed strictly hostile or dangerous. Class C personnel that have had direct contact with potentially mind-affecting or memetic properties may be subject to mandatory quarantine and psychiatric evaluation as deemed necessary by security personnel. In the event of a containment breach or hostile action against a SDS facility, non-combatant Class C personnel are to either report to secure lock-down areas or evacuated at the discretion of on-site security personnel in the case of a site-wide breach or other catastrophic event.
===Class D===
Class D personnel are expendable personnel used to handle extremely hazardous anomalies and are not allowed to come into contact with Class A or Class B personnel. Class D personnel are typically drawn worldwide from the ranks of prison inmates convicted of violent crimes, especially those on death row. In times of duress, Protocol 12 may be enacted, which allows recruitment from other sources — such as political prisoners, refugee populations, and other civilian sources — that can be transferred into SDS custody under plausibly deniable circumstances. Class D personnel are to be given regular mandatory psychiatric evaluations and are to be administered an amnestic of at least Class B strength or terminated at the end of the month at the discretion of on-site security or medical staff. In the event of a catastrophic site event, Class D personnel are to be terminated immediately except as deemed necessary by on-site security personnel.
===Class E===
Class E is a provisional classification applied to field agents and containment personnel that have been exposed to potentially dangerous effects during the course of securing and establishing initial containment over a newly-designated anomalous object, entity, or phenomenon. Class E personnel are to be quarantined as soon as possible, monitored, and screened for potentially harmful changes in behavior, personality, or physiology, and may only return to duty after being fully debriefed and cleared by psychiatric and medical staff.
|-|Apocalyptic Scenario Codewords=
|-|Anomaly Classifications=
==Anomaly Classifications==
=== Clearance Level ===
* Level 1: Unrestricted: Available to all SDS Employees.
* Level 2: Restricted: Available to a majority of SDS Employees upon request. Employees with subordinates have automatic access.
* Level 3: Confidential: Available to a minority of SDS Employees. Site Administrative Staff have automatic access. Employees with subordinates may request access.
* Level 4: Secret: ONLY available to Site and Foundation Administrative Staff. Access Requests will likely be declined, except in specific cases.
* Level 5: Top Secret: ONLY available to the highest Foundation Administrative Staff. 
* Level 6: Cosmic Top Secret: ONLY available to Overseer Council members. Access must be granted by them.
=== Containment Class ===
===== Explanations =====
* Neutralized: Either destroyed or removed as a threat.
* Florin: Unlikely to escape from containment
* Alyph: Often Erreneous and unpredictable. Containment measures unreliable
* Narakan: Containment breach highly possible
* Thelian: Used to contain other SDS objects
* Acolitan: Immediate Threat to humanity and Impossible to contain
* Pending: Object is awaiting classification.
*Esoteric: the Object does not fit into any other classification
*Adverse: Could be contained, however are best left uncontained.
*Virtus: Could be contained, but isn't due to logistical or ethical reasons.
*Decommissioned: Object has been intentionally destroyed or denormalized.
*Diarchic: Two distinct related objects, that require eachother to be contained.
*Enmatic: Poses an immediate threat to humanity, but can be "contained" via open warfare or methods which are very difficult to hide from the public
*Volitional: Cannot be contained, however does not require it.
*Uncontained: Currently is not contained.
===== Locked Box =====
* If you take it out of a box and kill it or find it died inside it, then it's probobally Neutralized.
*If you lock it in a box, leave it alone, and nothing bad will happen, then it's probably Florin.
* If you lock it in a box, leave it alone, and you're not entirely sure what will happen, then it's probably Alyph.
* If you lock it in a box, leave it alone, and it easily escapes, then it's probably Narakan.
*If you aren't done figuring out which box you should put it in, then it's probably Pending.
*If you don't know which box to put it in, despite trying to figure it out, then it's probably Esoteric.
* If it is the box, then it's probably Thelian.
* If you can't fit it in a box and it's about to end the world, then it's probably Acolitan.
* If you could have locked it in a box but chose not to, then it's probably Adverse.
*If you could have locked it in a box but it's difficult to get it in, then it's probably Virtus.
*If you kill it instead of putting it in a box, then it's probably Decommissioned.
*If you need to lock it and another thing together to make sure nothing bad happens, then it's probably Diarchic
*If you struggle to put it in a box and someone can hear you doing it, then it's probably Enmatic
*If you can't fit it in a box, but putting it in one isn't necessary, then its probably Volitional
*If it is not inside a box, then it's probably Uncontained
=== Disruption Class ===
* Dark: Disruption low enough that it is not a concern, Object is inert when not interacted with, Fairly easy to cover up.
* Vlam: Disruption would be localised to a handful of people, Anomalous effects do exist but don't extend far, Simple to cover up.
* Keneq: Disruption would extend to a number of people roughly defined as a city, Anomalous effects spread fast, Moderately difficult to cover up.
* Ekhi: Disruption would extend across a large metropolitan area or a country and possibly up to the entire world, Anomalous effects will be swift and difficult to manage, Difficult to cover up.
* Amida: Disruption would cause irreversible damage to status quo or the world, and thus the Anomaly must be terminated, Effects would extend across the entire world and possibly the universe as a whole.
=== Risk Class ===
* Notice: Effects are non-existent mild, Nearby individuals would not feel anything, Poses no danger to nearby individuals.
* Caution: Effects are mild to moderate, Nearby individuals may feel mild effects, Poses mild danger to nearby individuals.
* Warning: Effects are moderate to significant, Nearby individuals may feel mild or major effects, Poses moderate danger to nearby individuals.
* Danger: Effects are significant to extreme, Nearby individuals will feel major or extreme effects, Poses significant danger to nearby individuals.
* Critical: Effects will be instant and severe, Nearby individuals will instantly feel effects with only a slim chance of recovery, Doesn't necessarily kill people but is extremely likely to be lethal.
