*** Indeed, the Foundation seems to have a collective [[BigBrotherInstinct Big Sibling Instinct]] toward Cassy. To put it into perspective, anyone caught doing anything that might harm her will get demoted to ''Keter duty''. On the other hand, the Foundation also knows to stop when they think the petting has gone too far; an example would be a personnel member who was photographed with SCP-978 (a camera that shows your deepest desire in a photo). His photo showed [[PerverseSexualLust a drawing version of him and Cassy embracing]]. [[CrowningMomentOfFunny The Foundation promptly decided to keep him away from her for a while and send him off to seek psychiatric help]].
