SCP = "Secure, Contain, Protect" or "
Special Containment Procedures". The SCP foundation is a "secret"
organization attempting to contain all anomalous objects and entities. SCPs are divided into 3 main classes.
Safe = An object that does not pose a threat and are easy and secure to contain.
Euclid = An object that poses a threat or has more
complicated or difficult containment procedures.
Keter = An object that poses a great threat or/and have very difficult and unreliable containment procedures.
The SCP foundation has dozens of Safe facilities and thousands of SCPs in containment.
Safe: SCP-1499 is a Soviet GP-5 gas mask. The anomalous effects of SCP-1499 activate when a human places SCP-1499 on their head.
Approximately one second after SCP-1499 is fully secured on the subject's head, the subject vanishes from view, and is no longer detectable. Upon wearing SCP-1499, test subjects report completely different surroundings than they were in prior to wearing SCP-1499. Subjects have reported that it appears barren and inhospitable, with tall black towers filling the area. Subjects have also sighted entities in this
landscape. These entities,
designated SCP-1499-1, have been described as tall, nude humanoids with dark skin. Upon removing SCP-1499 from their head, subjects reappear in the same location they were in when they put it on.
Euclid: SCP-173 is constructed from concrete and rebar with traces of Krylon brand spray paint. The object cannot move while within a direct line of sight. Object is reported to attack by snapping the neck at the base of the skull, or by strangulation
Keter: SCP-217 is a virus, incurable by current means, with a rate of infectivity at 100%. The progress of the
infection is very slow, with some subjects going several years before
manifesting any symptoms. SCP-217 alters the biochemistry of organic tissue, causing organic matter to re-arrange into a form of “organic metal”. A subject will begin to turn into a complex arrangement of gears and clockwork, these taking over for the former
biological functions.
