The SCP Foundation

**Name:** The SCP Foundation

**Containment Class:** Apollyon

**Secured Containment Process:** The SCP Foundation cannot be physically contained or relocated. Instead, the containment processes are focused on maintaining secrecy and preventing unauthorized access to The Foundation's facilities, personnel, and information.

Information leaks and breaches of operational security are to be addressed promptly and decisively to prevent public knowledge of the anomalous and the potential disruption of societal stability. Class-A amnestics and memetic countermeasures are employed as necessary to preserve the secrecy of The Foundation and the anomalies under its purview.

**Description:** The SCP Foundation is an enigmatic organization dedicated to the containment and study of anomalous phenomena. Its origins and true nature remain unclear, due to conflicting information within different universes and timelines. The Foundation operates from a network of secure facilities, research sites, and containment sites across the globe, employing a vast array of personnel.

The Foundation functions under a strict hierarchical structure, with various departments and specialized teams tasked with specific roles and responsibilities. These include containment specialists, field agents, researchers, and administrative personnel. The organization operates on a need-to-know basis, with information compartmentalized to minimize the risk of unauthorized access and potential breaches of security.

They possess advanced technology, anomalous artifacts, and various esoteric techniques to aid in their mission. This includes the development of containment procedures, the study of anomalous properties, and the safeguarding of humanity from the potential threats posed by the anomalies under its custody. It is also involved in the development of specialized technologies, such as amnestics, to preserve their secrecy.

## The PAC Institute

**Name:** The PAC Institute

**Containment Class:** Keter

**Secured Containment Process:** Let the Pataphysics Department of The SCP Foundation or The Foundation as a whole, deal with this themselves.

**Description:** The PAC Institute, which presents itself as a global, super-national organization dedicated to the containment of anomalies and the preservation of normalcy. *This is a fictional community on the internet.*

Individuals who are introduced to the concept of The PAC Institute subsequently feel compelled to create stories related to it are subject to the wiki's anomalous effects.

The majority of PAC Institute stories created by various authors instances bear striking similarities to actual anomalies and documented events within the SCP Foundation. Additionally, The PAC Institute itself bears remarkable similarities to the SCP Foundation in terms of goals, methods, and organizational structure. The probability of these similarities occurring incidentally is considered negligible, suggesting an anomalous connection between The PAC Institute and The SCP Foundation.

### Key Features of The PAC Institute include:

* The PAC Institute designates contained anomalies with designations consisting of "PAC" followed by three numerals.
* The acronym "PAC" serves as a double entendre, referring both to the organization's motto, "Preserve, Acquire, Contain," and the protocols employed for anomaly containment.
* The PAC Institute employs object class designations such as Pandora, Yesod, and Fenris, which are equivalent to the Safe, Euclid, and Keter classes used by the SCP Foundation.
* The PAC Institute utilizes a clearance level system identical to that of the Foundation.
* Special Response Teams (SRTs) are employed by the PAC Institute, functioning similarly to the Foundation's Mobile Task Forces.
* Class-C Personnel are employed by the PAC Institute, serving a role analogous to the Foundation's D-Class Personnel.
* PAC Institute operations are centered around Bases, with Base-27 being the largest and most significant, headed by Base Directors. The A5-Council, consisting of 13 members designated by numbers, oversees the Base Directors.

Investigation into known authors of The PAC Institute has determined that they possess no awareness of the anomalous in general or the SCP Foundation specifically. For authors, the creation of SCP Foundation related stories is perceived no differently than any other fictional creation.

The initial PAC Institute media was posted on the /x/ (Paranormal) board of the imageboard 4chan on June 7th, 2007. The primary documentation focused on PAC-244, a mobile and hostile statue that requires continuous visual contact, bearing similarities to SCP-173. Inspired by this work, other users started creating their own PAC documents paralleling existing SCP objects such as SCP-076, SCP-087, and SCP-682.
