**MTF β-777** (**Beta-777**), nicknamed "**Hecate's Spear**", is a Mobile Task Force deployed in matters of thaumaturgic combat, as well as analysis of thaumaturgic rituals and countermeasures. They are currently based out of Xenobiological Research and Containment Site-91 in Yorkshire, England.

## Description

MTF Beta-777's purpose is to counteract anomalous objects, entities, groups, or events that use thaumaturgy as their weapon. This is achieved by use of thaumaturges among MTF Beta-777 ranks, with at least two Class-A thaumatologists on staff at all times.

## History

### Event-Alpha

After Event-Alpha on 5 September 1957, when SCP-4712 and Site-07 were transported to SCP-4712-B, three members of MTF Beta-777 were present: then-Captain Bill McRenolds, Lieutenant Kate Samira, and Corporal Peter Pyun. They led a survey of the dimension the same day they were transported, coming across the many entities residing in the dimension. Eventually, they came across bloodied altars, though had to retreat back to Site-07 when the entities came back after them. They helped the staff erect barricades to keep the creatures away.

After a few years, the entity residing in SCP-4712-B manipulated some staff members to pull down the barricades, prompting the entirety of Site-07 to be swarmed by the creatures and their minds torn asunder by the entity. McRenolds bit out Samira's throat before pulling his own eyes out, while Pyun's head was turned into slurry by a mallet-wielding security officer. By the end, no survivors were left; save for SCP-4712-A, who bound himself to the realm in order to keep the entity from invading baseline reality.

### Discovery of SCP-4612-A

Between 19-20 December 1986, MTF Beta-777 deployed from Site-06-03 in France to the Eckhart House in Yorkshire, England after Foundation agents discovered SCP-4612-A beneath the house. The team was accompanied by Level-3 psychometrist Agent Rebekah Douglas. A survey revealed no other anomalies, though many corpses who suffered severe desiccation, charring, and psychic trauma.

Due to the inability to move 4612-A due to its sheer size, Provisional Site-91 was founded, with MTF Beta-777 adopting it as their home base.

### Secondary Exploration of SCP-4712-B

On 12 June 1991, an MTF Beta-777 detachment led by Captains Sahara Zadeh and Kessler accompanied Agent Douglas into SCP-4712-B for the purpose of surveying the surface, with the goals of recovering logs, samples, and any documentation of the settlements. While there, Douglas encountered a bloodied altar before using her psychometry on it. This caused great psychic trauma to Douglas, who was put in a seven-month coma.

### Second Haptic Assembly

On 13 April 1992, the UIU attempted to contain known thaumaturge Diego Marquez while he led a gathering of Second Haptic Assembly members in Boston, Massachusetts, only to be trapped inside the warehouse where the gathering took place and killed. FBI Director William S. Sessions requested assistance from the SCP Foundation, who sent MTF Beta-777 to secure the location.

Captain Zadeh led a squad into the premises at 21:15, though it took nearly 15 minutes to enter the building, thanks to the thaumaturgic countermeasures encasing the building They came across the bullet-riddled bodies of Assembly members and burnt, dented in UIU agents, before going downstairs to encounter cells holding mutated bodies inside. Going further, the MTF team encountered Marquez holding the deceased corpse of Special Agent Nolan Forrester.

Zadeh ordered Marquez to surrender, but instead, he opened a Way, to which Zadeh ordered her men to open fire. Marquez was wounded, though he managed to retreat through the gateway after knocking away the MTF Beta-777 team. A medivac was called for the MTF and the people inside the cells, being extracted shortly after.
