New Operative Orientation
So, you think you know how the world works. You go to school, grow up, find a spouse, and live a quiet life working
nine-to-five until you can retire. Picket fence dreams, right? Well, you’re on the other side of that fence now. You
know all about monster movies, right? Supernatural TV shows, kaiju movies. I’m here to tell you that it’s not
fiction. Laugh if you want, you’ll see what I’m talking about soon enough. Our little blue marble is much stranger
than you were led to believe.
You’re going to see things you wouldn’t see in your dreams. Experience events that will leave you wondering what
exactly happened for the rest of your life. Keep cool, keep your head on a swivel, listen to your team, and follow
protocol. Above all, don’t try to be a hero. The world doesn’t need heroes, it needs people that are willing to cast
off their old life to ensure the future of this planet and everyone on it.
You are all trained, armed with the best weaponry possible, and it is to be your absolute last resort. Your first
priority is to capture and contain whatever anomalous object we’re sent to retrieve. Follow my orders to the letter,
and you’ll walk out just fine. Don’t follow my orders, and well, you’ll see exactly why we have a high turnover rate.
Your job is to protect humanity. Make sure you keep that in mind when you find yourself up a certain creek without
a certain paddle. You might think I’m exaggerating, but you’ll see what I mean soon enough. Now, gear up and get
ready, you’re about to save the world.
Secure. Contain. Protect.

What is the SCP Foundation… Really?

The SCP Foundation is a fictional organization documented by the web-based collaborative-fiction project of the
same name. Within the website's fictional setting, the SCP Foundation is responsible for locating and containing
individuals, entities, locations, and objects that violate natural law (referred to as SCPs). The real-world website is
community-based and includes elements of many genres such as horror, science fiction, and urban fantasy.
On the SCP Foundation wiki, the majority of works consist of "special containment procedures": structured internal
documentation that describes an SCP object and the means of keeping it contained. The website also contains
thousands of "Foundation Tales", short stories that take place within the SCP Foundation setting. The series has
been praised for its ability to convey horror through its scientific and academic writing style, as well as for its high
standard of quality.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCP_Foundation (Above boxed text licensed to us under CC-BY-SA 3.0, Wikipedia)
In terms of [DATA EXPUNGED] the SCP Foundation acts as an entire collection of cannons, universes, entities, and
more that you can explore with your family, friends, and even strangers at the table. However there are major
themes to consider when running, or participating within a game.
➢ Respect the Mood: Most commonly the game will be run as an investigative horror game, so do your best
to maintain that mood. Leaning towards dark comedy within a situation may be fine, but don’t do it so
much that it undermines the intended mood.
➢ Respect Others: This is key to having a healthy time at the table is to respect what everyone is
comfortable with. Make sure to speak beforehand with other players when running the game, or speaking
with your Administrator about any themes you are uncomfortable with.
➢ Trust your Administrator: When playing the game the Administrator has the final say on what is, and is
not, happening in a given moment during play. Keep that in mind when playing [DATA EXPUNGED] as a
player. The Administrator’s goal is for everyone at the table to have a good time. If you have grievances as
a player, speak privately with the Administrator, and try to work out the issue.

Research Department
Description: The cornerstone of the Foundation is its research. Through research comes understanding; from
understanding comes strategy; from strategy comes action. The data and intelligence gathered by those in
Research find themselves embroiled in what the foundation is doing with all of these anomalous things, from
testing to exploration to utilization and even exploitation of their effects.
People hired into the Research department are among the top minds in their field—not the most well-known or
the most-published, but those who have an incredible working knowledge of their field who can use that to further
the cause. They are almost invariably doctors; every possible discipline is represented with minds from all around
the world.
Researchers are a highly support-oriented role, but their lack of forefront in tactical excursions does not make
them invaluable: Having a researcher on the team is having a source of useful information and expertise that can
be the difference between success and failure.

Description: The Containment department is the backbone of the Foundation’s mission. Without containment there
can be no research, no advancement, and no safety.
This is why the Containment department is incredibly selective in who it chooses to fill its ranks. Engineers,
designers, cross-disciplinary scientists and people with extremely niche skill sets all carry clearances with the
Containment department, because the precision necessary to contain some of the most powerful entities known
to exist leaves no room for error.
There are those who would look down on the Containment division for being the ones who get their hands
dirty in their constant work of building bigger, more elaborate boxes. But that box is the only thing between the
Earth and certain doom, so perhaps someone needs to sort out priorities, eh?

Ramming
The Administrator decides how deadly a collision ought to be. Here are a few suggestions for a vehicle’s ramming
damage.
Speed Level Damage
Low Speed 1D6 or 2D6
Moderate Speed Roll half the vehicle’s maximum HP as a Lethality rating.
High Speed Roll the vehicle’s maximum HP as a Lethality rating.
If the target is a huge entity or another vehicle, the ramming vehicle suffers half ramming damage based on the
target’s HP.
A vehicle’s Armor rating acts as Armor Piercing for its ramming damage. Every passenger in a ramming vehicle
takes 1D6 damage. Every passenger in a rammed vehicle takes 2D6 damage. A worn seat belt or active air bag
halves the damage. A passenger in a vehicle that rams a target less than huge size suffers no damage.

Section 2 – Scope.
a. License grant.
1. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Public License, the Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free,
non-sublicensable, non-exclusive, irrevocable license to exercise the Licensed Rights in the Licensed Material to:
A. reproduce and Share the Licensed Material, in whole or in part; and
B. produce, reproduce, and Share Adapted Material.
2. Exceptions and Limitations. For the avoidance of doubt, where Exceptions and Limitations apply to Your use, this Public License
does not apply, and You do not need to comply with its terms and conditions.
3. Term. The term of this Public License is specified in Section 6(a).
4. Media and formats; technical modifications allowed. The Licensor authorizes You to exercise the Licensed Rights in all media and
formats whether now known or hereafter created, and to make technical modifications necessary to do so. The Licensor waives
and/or agrees not to assert any right or authority to forbid You from making technical modifications necessary to exercise the
Licensed Rights, including technical modifications necessary to circumvent Effective Technological Measures. For purposes of this
Public License, simply making modifications authorized by this Section 2(a)(4) never produces Adapted Material.
5. Downstream recipients.
A. Offer from the Licensor – Licensed Material. Every recipient of the Licensed Material automatically receives an offer from the
Licensor to exercise the Licensed Rights under the terms and conditions of this Public License.
B. Additional offer from the Licensor – Adapted Material. Every recipient of Adapted Material from You automatically receives an
offer from the Licensor to exercise the Licensed Rights in the Adapted Material under the conditions of the Adapter’s License You
apply.
C. No downstream restrictions. You may not offer or impose any additional or different terms or conditions on, or apply any Effective
Technological Measures to, the Licensed Material if doing so restricts exercise of the Licensed Rights by any recipient of the
Licensed Material.
71
6. No endorsement. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or may be construed as permission to assert or imply that You are, or
that Your use of the Licensed Material is, connected with, or sponsored, endorsed, or granted official status by, the Licensor or
others designated to receive attribution as provided in Section 3(a)(1)(A)(i).
b. Other rights.
1. Moral rights, such as the right of integrity, are not licensed under this Public License, nor are publicity, privacy, and/or other similar
personality rights; however, to the extent possible, the Licensor waives and/or agrees not to assert any such rights held by the
Licensor to the limited extent necessary to allow You to exercise the Licensed Rights, but not otherwise.
2. Patent and trademark rights are not licensed under this Public License.
3. To the extent possible, the Licensor waives any right to collect royalties from You for the exercise of the Licensed Rights, whether
directly or through a collecting society under any voluntary or waivable statutory or compulsory licensing scheme. In all other
cases the Licensor expressly reserves any right to collect such royalties.
Section 3 – License Conditions.
Your exercise of the Licensed Rights is expressly made subject to the following conditions.
a. Attribution.
1. If You Share the Licensed Material (including in modified form), You must:
A. retain the following if it is supplied by the Licensor with the Licensed Material:

reasonable manner requested by the Licensor (including by pseudonym if designated);

C. indicate the Licensed Material is licensed under this Public License, and include the text of, or the URI or hyperlink to,
this Public License.
2. You may satisfy the conditions in Section 3(a)(1) in any reasonable manner based on the medium, means, and context in which
You Share the Licensed Material. For example, it may be reasonable to satisfy the conditions by providing a URI or hyperlink to a
resource that includes the required information.
3. If requested by the Licensor, You must remove any of the information required by Section 3(a)(1)(A) to the extent reasonably
practicable.
b. ShareAlike
In addition to the conditions in Section 3(a), if You Share Adapted Material You produce, the following conditions also apply.
1. The Adapter’s License You apply must be a Creative Commons license with the same License Elements, this version or later, or a BY-SA
Compatible License.
2. You must include the text of, or the URI or hyperlink to, the Adapter's License You apply. You may satisfy this condition in any reasonable
manner based on the medium, means, and context in which You Share Adapted Material.
3. You may not offer or impose any additional or different terms or conditions on, or apply any Effective Technological Measures to, Adapted
Material that restrict exercise of the rights granted under the Adapter's License You apply.
Section 4 – Sui Generis Database Rights.
Where the Licensed Rights include Sui Generis Database Rights that apply to Your use of the Licensed Material:
a. for the avoidance of doubt, Section 2(a)(1) grants You the right to extract, reuse, reproduce, and Share all or a substantial portion of the
contents of the database;
b. if You include all or a substantial portion of the database contents in a database in which You have Sui Generis Database Rights, then the
database in which You have Sui Generis Database Rights (but not its individual contents) is Adapted Material, including for purposes of
Section 3(b); and
c. You must comply with the conditions in Section 3(a) if You Share all or a substantial portion of the contents of the database.
For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4 supplements and does not replace Your obligations under this Public License where the Licensed Rights include
other Copyright and Similar Rights.
72
Section 5 – Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability.
a. Unless otherwise separately undertaken by the Licensor, to the extent possible, the Licensor offers the Licensed Material as-is and
as-available, and makes no representations or warranties of any kind concerning the Licensed Material, whether express, implied, statutory,
or other. This includes, without limitation, warranties of title, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, absence of
latent or other defects, accuracy, or the presence or absence of errors, whether or not known or discoverable. Where disclaimers of
warranties are not allowed in full or in part, this disclaimer may not apply to You.
b. To the extent possible, in no event will the Licensor be liable to You on any legal theory (including, without limitation, negligence) or
otherwise for any direct, special, indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive, exemplary, or other losses, costs, expenses, or damages
arising out of this Public License or use of the Licensed Material, even if the Licensor has been advised of the possibility of such losses,
costs, expenses, or damages. Where a limitation of liability is not allowed in full or in part, this limitation may not apply to You.
c. The disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability provided above shall be interpreted in a manner that, to the extent possible, most closely
approximates an absolute disclaimer and waiver of all liability.
Section 6 – Term and Termination.
a. This Public License applies for the term of the Copyright and Similar Rights licensed here. However, if You fail to comply with this Public
License, then Your rights under this Public License terminate automatically.
b. Where Your right to use the Licensed Material has terminated under Section 6(a), it reinstates:
1. automatically as of the date the violation is cured, provided it is cured within 30 days of Your discovery of the violation; or
2. upon express reinstatement by the Licensor.
For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6(b) does not affect any right the Licensor may have to seek remedies for Your violations of this
Public License.
c. For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensor may also offer the Licensed Material under separate terms or conditions or stop distributing the
Licensed Material at any time; however, doing so will not terminate this Public License.
d. Sections 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 survive termination of this Public License.
Section 7 – Other Terms and Conditions.
a. The Licensor shall not be bound by any additional or different terms or conditions communicated by You unless expressly agreed.
b. Any arrangements, understandings, or agreements regarding the Licensed Material not stated herein are separate from and independent of the
terms and conditions of this Public License.
Section 8 – Interpretation.
a. For the avoidance of doubt, this Public License does not, and shall not be interpreted to, reduce, limit, restrict, or impose conditions on any use
of the Licensed Material that could lawfully be made without permission under this Public License.
b. To the extent possible, if any provision of this Public License is deemed unenforceable, it shall be automatically reformed to the minimum
extent necessary to make it enforceable. If the provision cannot be reformed, it shall be severed from this Public License without affecting the
enforceability of the remaining terms and conditions.
c. No term or condition of this Public License will be waived and no failure to comply consented to unless expressly agreed to by the Licensor.
d. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or may be interpreted as a limitation upon, or waiver of, any privileges and immunities that apply to
the Licensor or You, including from the legal processes of any jurisdiction or authority.
