**Item #:** SCP-7022

**Object Class:** Pending

**Special Containment Procedures:** SCP-7022, as well as its potential to cause problems within the command structure of the Foundation, are to be thoroughly investigated by its designated research task force. Once a protocol to decommission SCP-7022 has been devised, it is to be implemented with utmost haste.

**Description:** SCP-7022 is the designation given to the Foundation's current state of decline in certain aspects such as government support, technological development, and available funding. This currently causes an increasing amount of problems such as mass containment breaches, issues regarding the funding of various projects, and the possibility of external Groups of Interest overtaking the Foundation in certain sectors of research or technology.

While the cause of SCP-7022 is unknown, current theories vary from the possibility of SCP-7022 being non-anomalous to it being the result of an unknown entity. On discovery of the true nature of SCP-7022, the Overseer Council will convene to discuss adjusting the procedures for handling SCP-7022.

> **Description of Incident:** Potential containment breach and/or anomalous interference.
> 
> **Responding Unit:** Nu-7 Breakaway Battalion 5 ("All-Seeing Eye") 

Prior to the incident, Site-19 was fully stable and operational before becoming unresponsive to communication attempts for several hours. Attempts to access security camera footage were unsuccessful. As a result, a task force battalion was quickly assembled in nearby Area-726 to arrive at the site on near thirty minutes notice.

Ah, how good it is to be the Site Director at the largest (and nicest, I might add!) Foundation facility in the world. Hiding in plain sight right outside the city of Atlanta, we use an counterconceptual obscuring device, a machine developed from the fruits of our local antimemetic division's research. Many other sites have tried to replicate it, but we were the ones that made it work first, so a pat on the back for us!

I still remember the good ol' days of the site in its early days, before we had all these fancy devices that keep us safe. I was only 22 years old, the youngest of any Site Director of my time, and yet I got appointed to be the guardian of what was then one of the more... lower quality sites around. Think less of a Foundation facility, and more like some Area-51 dump. So not very good, and we started with only a handful of anomalies and... I think around a hundred people? O, I forget the numbers, but you get my point.

You remember 173? //[Chuckle]// Oh, who am I kidding, you are probably rolling your eyes at my mere mention of it. It was one of our first, and hell, I even took the picture for the darn thing and put it on the file! But apparently that's "unprofessional" and... //[Distant murmuring]// ... oh, you hush, I'll rant all I goddamn want, its //my// memorandum! Hm, where was I? Oh, right, early days. I tried to live up to that one quote about a king leading his men into battle. Who said that? Sun Tzu?

Anyways, I was much more of a risk taker then, and now I'm stuck in this damn wheelchair and can't do squat except paperwork! I had a dream, to expand our site as much as I damn well could and look where it got me! Our oh so hardworking team made discovery after discovery, creating new departments where applicable, and saved the world a couple times, here and there. Our tiny facility couldn't handle this amount of anomalies, so we had to keep expanding underground! This spiraled, and what the hell, you probably get what came next. 1 basement turned into 60 levels!

I think us alone are now approaching nearly five thousand anomalies in our care. Quite a large number, I might add! Think about it, can you even name five thousand people? I think its made everything a bit confusing now. We now even have a group of Sub-Site Directors for micromanaging some things. Not what I imagined for a greater Site-19, but if it works, it works!

Regardless, whether you are transferring over, trying to find information for an anomaly, or just browsing, I'm happy to have made your acquaintance, and I hope we can work together to make the best Foundation we can! Signing off.

The assigned task force arrived at the site at 13:42, approaching the building from behind. The initial task force consisted of five personnel, with more prepared outside the facility as reserves in the case of the initial task force becoming unresponsive.

The purpose of the mission is to investigate the given problem and remaining personnel with the containment of any anomalies.

The mobile task force was covering floor 17 when the report came through. The floor was covered in a thick, unidentified black tar-like substance. The task force continued on, before coming across a hallway that was unable to be illuminated by their flashlights despite its strength.

Before they were able to react, a humanoid flesh-like entity burst out of the shadows and lunged at Foxtrot, before the other task force members began opening fire. Standard firearms had no effect, however an experimental weapon made by Echo was used, terminating both Foxtrot and the creature.

**Addendum:** Entity was able to be identified as a human that underwent sarkic transformations. No sarkite-related items exist at Site-19, leading to the conclusion that the site was infiltrated by a terrorist. How they got inside is unclear. The task force was cleared for further descent.

Due to the combined presence of potentially dangerous heavy machinery at the lower levels as well as the lack of encountered personnel throughout the facility, accessing the lowest levels was deemed a top priority.

Using a hatch to access a series of maintenance tunnels, the team found a way to bypass another 16 levels of the building.

The task force approaches floor 33 from a maintenance tunnel located on the side. There is a brief argument on who should open the door and head in first, before Zulu orders Bravo to undergo the task. After opening the door and preparing for any potential threats, the entire floor actually seemed to be filled completely with dirt.

The task force continued on through floor 32. Floor 32 abnormally took on the appearance of a still-in-construction part of the facility, noted by building materials laid out over the floors, scaffoldings, and unfinished walls, and no anomalies despite normally being one of the largest floors.

Upon learning of the state of floor 32, the O4 council [[footnote]]The first response to containment breaches and attacks by Groups of Interest on Foundation facilities.

The task force walked into the floor, before being greeted with personnel conducting experiments on anomalies on the floor. Under interrogation, they all claimed to be active Foundation personnel, despite any checks inside the database for their names turning up no results. All of the personnel claimed that there was no containment breach within the facility.

The team checked in the space behind the containment cells, however the chamber for the containment specialist appeared to be completely removed. With no containment specialist chamber, there was no chance that the containment for anomalies present on the floor would still be functional.

Upon hearing of the contents of the floor, the O4 Council gave orders on behalf of command to kill the personnel claiming to be part of the Foundation. The task force members refused at first, but after some repeated negative reinforcement, the task force members complied and shot at the researchers. One of the researchers pulled out a revolver, shooting and killing Zulu before dying.

Reasoning behind the order is redacted.

The task force arrived on floor 51, an advanced technological region for maintenance of both digital anomalies and experimental machinery. The floor also seemed to be covered in a thin coating of the same tar-like substance found on floor 17. Two bare skeletons bearing several burn marks were found in the corner of the entrance, right by the ventilation shafts.

After walking through to the other end of the facility, the existence of the black-tar began to cease. However, while preparing to walk out and go down the final staircase, a solidified, black, tar-like substance broke through the ventilation shaft right by the entrance and latched onto both Bravo and Kilo. Both task force members began to scream for Echo to do something, as Echo began to open fire. Both task force members were pulled through the ventilation shaft before Echo was able to aid.

Echo was instructed to keep moving.

However, given the situation, it was decided to be used as the O4 council convened with full attendance for the first time in 43 years.

//A large amount of talking and bickering is heard amongst the participants.//

**S. Kowalski[[footnote]]Director for Site-17[[/footnote]]:** Silence!

//The entire meeting room goes quiet.//

**S. Kowalski:** Thank you. Now, as you all know, we will be hosting the thirteen overseers in our meeting room today. They are currently logged in. I hope you all remember protocol when it comes to them, correct?

**O5-13:** //[Unintelligible static]//

**S. Kowalski:** Sorry, what was that?

**O5-13:** Ah, sorry, connection error. Just wanted to say not to worry about that stuff, we've got more... pressing matters... to deal with.

**C. Raph[[footnote]]Co-lead SCP-7022 Researcher[[/footnote]]:** Like, for example, Site-19 blowing up?

**S. Kowalski:** Raph!

**C. Raph:** It's true!

**O5-1:** Gentlemen, if you'd please. Yes, yes, the rumors are true. That's actually what we're here to discuss with you all today.

**K. Bernet[[footnote]]Head of the Department of Non-Anomalous Warfare[[/footnote]]:** How are we supposed to discuss if half of the damn document is redacted?

**O5-2:** You aren't to be concerned with //why// the site exploded. The effects of it have just been... problematic.

**L. Donna[[footnote]]Head of Public Relations[[/footnote]]:** Did anybody die in the explosion?

**O5-13:** Unclear. It went off near a major population center, so you can come to your own conclusions.

**O5-9:** ...Right. We're currently dealing with the fall-out of the incident, including a possible breach of the veil, and...

**C. Raph:** Humiliation by the anomalous community?

**O5-9:** ...Yes.

//A pause.//

**S. Kowalski:** The Site under my control is also a major site. If something like //this// happened, then my first action would probably be to cut back funding from other departments and try to build up a new pillar.

//Sounds of dismay are heard throughout the meeting room. Kowalski puts his hands up.//

**S. Kowalski:** //What?//

**L. Donna:** The only reason you suggest that is because //you// own over the next-largest site, and would be the benefactor of said funding. None of the rest of us want our paychecks cut for your idiocy.

**S. Kowalski:** A large amount of Foundation-owned machinery was in Site-19. It has to be replaced one way or another.

**L. Donna:** Site-19 made their own technology from the ground-up. If you want some of your own, just go make it yourself!

//More arguing all around is heard, continuing until all sounds are unable to be heard.//

**O5-1:** SILENCE!

//The meeting room goes quiet once more.//

**O5-1:** Thank you. Site-19 hasn't been the only problem to the Foundation. A downward trend has been present in almost all sectors of the Foundation for a long while now. If we can pinpoint the cause of this downward trend, then we could possibly stop it.

**D. Ingram[[footnote]]Lead Researcher for SCP-7022[[/footnote]]:** ...And you think they know the answer to that problem, why?

**O5-13:** Huh?

**D. Ingram:** We've been working on the solution to that problem well over 5 years. These guys haven't got a clue. 

**O5-1:** We think it may be anomalous activity. It's our duty to figure it out.

**D. Ingram:** Is it? Well, once you figure out whether it's the hand of god doing this or if it's little 'ol Johnny down the street causing our downfall, do you think that will really change the situation?

//Silence.//

**I. Carnigee[[footnote]]Head of the Department of Misinformation[[/footnote]]:** ...Right. I think our main solution here is that we need to put on a face for everyone else.

**O5-3:** A face?

**I. Carnigee:** Yes. That's how we get all of our funding, no? We contain the anomalies. They give us money to keep the ball rolling and the pits of hell out of their back doors.

**O5-1:** Right. This happened in the United States, we can request emergency funding for them under the pretense of defending against potential threats. Donna?

**L. Donna:** On it.

On 8/15/2020, a Foundation bomber from its department of non-anomalous warfare flew over Global Occult Coalition airspace surrounding a standard military operations site. The pilot was notified over radio of the mistake, but continued to fly onwards.

What is noted to be anti-memetic weaponry was dropped from the bomber and onto the facility, where it then destroyed a large piece of the Coalition's air-way. The bomber was able to flee before being destroyed by the anti-air in the region.

The Coalition has notified the Foundation of a potential error, with no response made. Instead, several more similar incidents have occurred across various Global Occult Coalition owned regions, leading to the assessment that this was a coordinated strike of some kind. A retaliation response is being prepared.

**Reserve Size:** Unclear

**Regiment Leader:** Kernal Bernet

------

An offensive was led towards Global Occult Coalition headquarters on 9/1/2020. Due to the facility's presence on a lake island, Kernal Bernet ordered a makeshift bridge to be created to allow the personnel access through the lake. Establishing a footing on the facility was designated top priority.

However, halfway through construction of the bridge, Global Occult Coalition bomber planes, as well as artillery lined up around key points begun firing on the bridge, destroying it before Foundation soldiers could make a landing. Mission designated a failure, and orders given to retreat.

Upon attempting to retreat, the task force was surrounded by what appeared to be guerilla forces, and were systematically wiped out. Casualties estimated at 4,482 personnel.

**O5-9:** I was going to vote against it all at first, but after what happened to the Ethics Committee, I didn't want to take any chances.

**O5-5:** Yeah... the thing about the Ethics Committee is that it needs the power over the council under circumstances like these, otherwise it doesn't actually work.

**O5-2:** Right. And if we have nothing we can do without causing worldwide mayhem, then we need somebody who still //does// have power over the council.

**O5-8:** Like who? Who like that still exists apart from, y'know, us?

//O5-2 clears her throat.//

**O5-8:** He may not even be alive anymore.

**O5-7:** If they were even real in the first place.

++++ **Addendum 7022.10:**

Why am I even still updating this file? I haven't been contacted about SCP-7022 in quite a long time. I think they may have forgotten I still have my permissions.

Sorry, I know this isn't meant to be a personal diary or anything, but this is important that there's somebody knows what happened when the dust settles. That is, if there //is// anybody here then.

Just last week I've experienced 19 containment breaches at my home site. I don't think anybody's coming to help us though. It's all hands on deck regarding the war. Kowalski tried to voice concerns, and ended up getting declared impure, purged, and replaced. Strikes and resignations are rampant. Don't even know how many //actual// researchers are still left here, the cafeteria is empty at lunchtime.

A bunch of other sites fell to the forces of external GoI's. The Foundation is collapsing. Some world governments have even seized the opportunity to loot this organization's dead remains.  How do the Overseers respond?

Well I was tuning into a Foundation meeting yesterday, which now has turned to one simply babbling to himself like a madman. Discussed the potential use of nuclear weaponry. If that happens, we're all fucked.

The Foundation has turned into nothing but a cobra.
