History NightmareFuel / SCPFoundation

--> SCP-###, Object Class: ''Keter''

* SCP-###, Object Class: Safe/Euclid, well, that's not so bad... oh, a clickable link...

* ''[[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/so-it-was So It Was]]''. A researcher named Rose arrives at Site-19, experiencing numerous unexplained anomalies in space and time. Clocks in different parts of the building show different times, there's nobody else around, and parts of the facility look like they haven't been touched in ''years.'' Rose also starts feeling detached from her body and starts looking for medical staff to report it to, only for the world itself to start breaking down. In time, she and the entire facility are gradually swallowed by a dark void. Below that is the cause: an admin post explaining that, due to a lack of users and financial support, Wikidot, the hosting site for all ''Website/SCPFoundation'' content, can't afford to fix all its bugs and is closing down.[[note]] It isn't really, but it's enough to give you a heart attack, especially given that the date of the post is always current.[[/note]]

* The Log of Anomalous Events describes... ''weird'' stuff happening that aren't SCP-worthy but require a response. Imagine just going about your business and seeing someone turn into wax, or seeing weird ghostly figures. Now imagine some men turn up out of nowhere and erase your memory of witnessing such a thing. How do you know this hasn't already happened?

No wonder the Wiki/SCPFoundation wants to contain these; the stuff they contain will [[NightmareFuel make you stay awake for days]].

* The Church of the Broken God. They're a religious cult that worships technology, including mechanical [=SCP=] items, believing them to be [[PiecesOfGod fragments of their Clockwork God]]. According to them, [[MachineWorship God is a machine]] that was long ago shattered into many artifacts that were then scattered across the globe. When the chosen ones manage to find these artifacts and rebuild him, they'll be [[AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence rewarded with godhood]]. As for everyone else, [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt well...]]

* The Chaos Insurgency. Once a covert task force only known by the O5 council, they broke away from the Foundation in 1924. They work by setting up puppet leaders in third-world countries and use their ''entire populations'' as D-class personnel. They also stole several [=SCP=] items when they went AWOL, including a staff that can change the physical and chemical properties of anything it touches, and a bell that can produce a variety of destructive effects depending on where it's struck.

** D-Class personnel are derived from the ranks of convicted criminals, typically those on death row. However, if there's a shortage, Protocol 12 can be enacted, which permits recruitment of D-Class personnel from other sources, such as "''political prisoners, refugee populations, and other civilian sources.''" Considering that simply handling quite a few [=SCPs=], not to mention various experiments and tests generally end in rather messy, unpleasant deaths for the involved personnel. Oh! And even if they survive, they are often terminated after a month anyway — the Foundation basically goes through D-Class personnel like popcorn. Given that violent criminals are aplenty, but still a minor portion of the human population, it makes one wonder just how often the Foundation has been forced to enact Protocol 12 and just how many completely innocent and merely unfortunate people have ended up as D-Class personnel and meeting their inevitable ends.

* One of the most disturbing things about the SCP series is that almost all of them were located and contained after coming into contact with a regular civilian human being going about their business, with no knowledge of what the thing is, how it works or where it came from. Consider that there's an indeterminate number of supernatural objects that could qualify as an SCP scattered around the world, and ''you'' could run into, say, an undocumented Keter-class at any minute during your daily routine. Or even a Euclid-class, which only [[DamnedByFaintPraise seems safe in comparison to Keter,]] or even something worse. [[SerialEscalation Yes, there's things worse than Keter-class in the SCP foundation.]] Hell, even a Safe class can ruin your day if you don't handle it right (remember kids, ratings are based on ease of containment, not danger.) The SCP world is a CrapsackWorld of the highest order considering how very likely all three options are, the horrifying things needed to contain them, and how very often TheExtremistWasRight. And given that there's well over a thousand [=SCPs=], and the bizarre [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/log-of-extranormal-events anomalous events]] and appearance of [=SCPs=] that can [[ParanoiaFuel happen anywhere, at any moment, to anyone]], and the very real possibility that the world has ended several times and the Foundation has rebuilt it ([[ParanoiaFuel how many times have you lived through]] ''[[ParanoiaFuel this]]'' [[ParanoiaFuel Thursday just this week, huh?]]) repeatedly, the world of the Foundation is a place of constant nightmare fuel and incomprehensible horror.

* Dr. Clef. Even if we take everything he says about himself with a grain of salt there is a mountain of evidence in various entries, logs, and reports that suggests that he is something far, far worse than any of the actual [=SCPs=]. The fact that his head is always replaced with something else in photographs is actually one of his ''least'' disturbing quirks. ''And he is the guy in charge of SCP Training and Development.''
* It's one thing to read about the Foundation personnel doing horrible, ruthless things to contain dangerous or even "potentially dangerous" [=SCPs=]. It's not even so bad to read about Foundation personnel doing cruel and messed-up things for kicks--after all, it must take a strange, not conventionally moral person to survive working there for very long, right? But then there are examples like SCP-042, where there's a very strong implication that the Foundation is containing not merely harmless but good, benevolent, mystical creatures against their will, and ''possibly even endangering the world by doing so.'' [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-042 SCP-042]] in particular seems to be written specifically to highlight the cruelty of the Foundation, particularly since for SOME REASON they won't allow the poor thing to die.

* And for Nightmare Fuel it is really hard to beat... [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/ethics-committee-orientation the Ethics Committee.]] There is no canon, and even if there were the Ethics Committee would never acknowledge this document, but the thought that someone is evaluating the moral cost of everything the SCP does, and they are still doing so much of what they do... ''that'' can keep you up at night.

* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/olympia-project Project Olympia.]]:

* The fact that there are [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/system:page-tags/tag/uncontained#pages uncontained [=SCPs=]]] Because of their size, abilities, or other attributes about their nature, all the Foundation can really do is track their activities, keep people away, and suppress information about them. Otherwise, these things are completely free.

* The [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/project-heimdall Project Heimdall]] contingency protocols (to be implemented if Earth suffers an AlienInvasion) are another example of how far the Foundation is willing to go to protect humanity ''in general''. The [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/adana-protocol ADANA Protocol]] (concerning the possibility that hostile extraterrestrials will use [[VichyEarth economic rather than military means to dominate Earth]]) explicitly calls for "full economic warfare by all SCP fronts", including the destruction of alien-sympathetic regimes, industrial espionage on a national scale, the inciting of riots and protests and the encouragement of xenophobic ideas. Even if humanity survives an encounter with hostile extraterrestrials (and even with Foundation protocols, the odds are only just in our favour), [[AbsoluteXenophobe there's no telling what the resulting society will be like]].
