SCP: Contain and Extract

[July 3rd, 1996. Discovered internal note from The SCP Foundation]

THEY ARE ALL DEAD

Every Mobile Task Force (MTF) has been eliminated. Contact with MTF Nu-7 collapsed earlier this morning, following the disappearance of MTF Alpha‑1. All other sites have been secured, but Site-19 continues to spiral out of control. We have lost all information, all contact, all entities and all control of Site-19. This is worse than we feared.

We ask you and your team of specialised mercenaries to succeed where everyone else has failed. You must enter the unknown site, recover missing intelligence, eliminate any evil and ultimately contain and secure the SCPs.

CONTAIN AND COLLECT

It’s imperative that you and your team contain and extract all Anomalous Entities and Anomalous Objects.
The importance of this directive cannot be overstated.

Dr V. Hannah, one of our last remaining chief researchers, stressed that simply ‘containing’ an SCP is not enough. Each SCP behaves differently and requires a specialised method. Proper containment is the only way to recover the information we’ve lost. She adds, "Our system grades containment up to three stars. A perfect score is rare, but the Site holds the instructions you’ll need.”

Note: A reckless, “guns‑blazing” approach is both ineffective and hazardous during containment operations. MTF Epsilon‑11 attempted this. It cost them their lives.

ANOMALYDEX

Recovering and collecting all SCPs is a near‑impossible assignment without the Anomalydex. Your entire team has been equipped with one. Please add any uncovered information - whether from floppy disks, scattered files, official documents, notes, unscratched CD-ROMS, HDDs and even magnetic tape directly to the Anomalydex.
Consider this a focus for you and your team.

UNRELENTING EVIL

We understand from previous communications that the danger level is beyond anything thought imaginable.

John Donnal of MTF Alpha-1 reported that weapons must be primed and ready, as the Keters are not the worst threat present at SITE-19. On 3rd March 1995, Lt. Donnal transmitted: “Save your bullets for the roaming evil. Don’t shoot the entities”. It’s unclear exactly what this ‘evil’ refers to. Lt. Donnal vanished shortly afterwards and is being treated as MIA, along with the entirety of the Red Right Hand. 

Current findings indicate that D‑Class personnel may have undergone severe mutation into an unidentified and highly dangerous state. A lethal‑force posture is recommended.

ANOMALOUS ENTITIES AND OBJECTS

It’s clear that there is a desire to visit and observe any successfully contained entities between extractions at Site-01… just please, don’t get too close. We have lost countless D-Class personnel and now some researchers.

Our data records confirm that we are aware of over thirty (and counting) SCPs to discover, locate, contain and secure.

The most troubling detail remains the earlier reports about SCP Synergy. We hoped it wasn't the case, but SCPs have been found to converse, cooperate, and behave in coordination.

A final note - please refrain from stealing from the Site. We have noted the ongoing looting, and we will address the recent appearance of an unknown Trader in due course.
