In a holler between mountains, nested in the belly of Appalachia, a lone Foundation Site lies.

Geological Research Site-898. Founded on blood and coal dust, it sits as the central headquarters to the Department of Geology. But there’s far more than just stone out in these woods; between monster and man, the small and isolated Site stands alone under Appalachia’s ancient shadow.

Older than civilization, older than mammal, older than bone, these mountains' pasts run deep and red.

And will evermore.

Run the River Red is a closed, loosely-anthological series by [[*user Dino--Draws]] centered around Site-898 -- a Foundation Geological Research Facility -- from the years of 1966 to 1996. From geological phenomena, ancient monsters and old gods, to chasing the tail of an organization whose greed haunts these hills, there's always work to be done out here.

This series will explore themes of Appalachian horror, exploitation within the region, folklore, and the desperation that people can be driven to in the face of extremes; all resting within the day-to-day lives of Site-898's personnel. It's not all doom and gloom though, for people will be people, and these mountains hold a wonder alongside their danger.

[[tab Welcome to Appalachia]]

[[image Appalachian_Mountains_WV_Banner.jpg]]

The Appalachian Mountains are ancient beasts.

Their birth spans over one billion years, starting with the continental collisions that formed the supercontinent Rodinia, and continuing into the formation of Pangaea, far older than the very evolution of bones. The ancient formation of these mountains has left them rich with the bounty of the Earth, something that has long come to be exploited and mined ever since Britain stepped onto the continent.

It's not just the resources, though.

[[div class="scp-image-block block-right" style="width:45%;"]]
[[image https://scp-wiki.wdfiles.com/local--files/run-the-river-red-hub/fog.jpg style="width:350px;"]]
[[/div]]

Appalachia is a region historically drowned in destitution. The communities within mountains have lagged behind the states around them, struggling both economically and from a lack of infrastructure in the wilderness. The corporations that were quick to exploit the labor of people who had been all but abandoned by their brothers have chewed up and spat out many in these woods.

The SCP version of the Appalachians is a fair bit more wild and dangerous, by virtue of the true existence of supernatural elements, and thus will diverge from the real life location in a multitude of ways as time goes on.

While being Canon neutral in terms of its setting, Run the River Red will dip its toes into both [https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/from-120-s-archives-hub From 120's Archives] and [https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/black-diamond-billions-hub Black Diamond Billions] from time to time. 

Site-898 itself rests in the depths of the Northern Appalachian Mountains -- within Dutch Mountain, Pennsylvania. Sitting right in the Coalbed Swamp, miles from the nearest cities, the Site is isolated from the Foundation at large and partially self-sufficient. Their biggest point of outside contact with the rest of the Foundation comes from twice a year supply shipments, and whenever they detect something that requires the alerting and aid of staff outside their own. The Department of Geology has gained a reputation as a result: odd loners and eccentric mountainfolk who often find you before you find them.

It's typically not //you// who calls upon Site-898. The DoGs will come howling first.

This will contain a list of SCPs or articles that, while not in-line with the themes of the series itself, are very much canon to it.

A truncated list of staff members at Site-898. As the cast grows, this list shall too, and new information may be periodically added as time progresses.

||~ Dr. Julian Eden ||~ Site-898 Director ||
|||| Founder of the Department of Geology, and Site-898 as a whole. High energy and headstrong, always trying to smile. While a deeply neurotic man, he prioritizes the health and safety of the people in his Site above all else. Holds a deep passion for his work, and an insatiable curiosity about the RUNS RED anomalies. ||
||~ Dr. Hellen Gibbs ||~ Head of the Department of Geology, Geology Sector Lead ||
|||| Quiet, strict, but not entirely no-nonsense. Managing a reasonable level of stress and weariness, Dr. Gibbs is a worrywart at heart if you see past her stone-faced stare and gruff exterior. Close personal friend and confidant of Dir. Eden. [https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-8007 A pact forged with an ancient beast has left her with conditional immortality.]||
||~ Dr. Sarah Lindsey ||~ Geophysics Sector Lead ||
|||| Peppy, eccentric, and with little regard for professional language. A woman who borders on over-sharing with her rambles, but has that certain old lady charm that pulls it off. Long time friend of Dr. Gibbs. Maintains the Site-898 koi pond (they're her babies).||
||~ Dr. Dilovar Latifi ||~ Geochemistry Sector Lead ||
|||| A brilliant thaumatologist and chemist known for their determination in pushing those around them to reach their highest potential. Is both dramatic and infectiously energetic. Allegedly knows how to turn lead into gold. Once wandered the Library under the pseudonym of "Midas" before coming to the Foundation.||
||~ Dr. Fate Hargroves ||~ Cryptozoology Sector Lead ||
|||| Half cryptozoologist, half tactical theologian. Dr. Hargroves is one of the few folks actually from around these parts, and she knows these mountains and its monsters well.

RUNS RED is a secondary containment class utilized to indicate anomalies created by SCP-8987 activation events. This class also means the anomaly is to be handled on a case-by-case basis by Site-898.
[[/div]]

[[/div]]

An esoteric secondary class that exists to categorize and archive the specific anomalies that spawn from the depths of the Red Brook Mine. These anomalies are weird occurrences that appear whenever SCP-8987 experiences an activation event, and they can be just about anything; entities, objects, short-lived events or even long-term weirdness. Site-898 refers to these SCPs as "RUNS RED anomalies."

While usually without much rhyme or reason, a RUNS RED anomaly will typically involve the Red Brook Mine -- or geology -- in some capacity due to environmental influence caused by the mine shaping the SCP-8987 activation event. Two that currently exist, SCP-8306 and SCP-2888, are both utilized to allude to and discuss some of the horrors of the mining industry. However, not every RUNS RED SCP needs to have some metaphorical meaning to it, they can also be as simple as "would that be fucked, or what?"

Essentially, the only rules that come with a RUNS RED SCP is that they all have some connection to either the mine, or to geology.[[footnote]] That, and SCP-8306 is the only sapient and speaking RUNS RED anomaly.[[/footnote]]

These SCPs are handled by Site-898 solely, and the methods of their containment depend on the anomaly itself. Sometimes, the Site even finds use for the anomaly in question, as Director Julian Eden has been a main proponent in the encouragement of their use and integration into the Site. If we got 'em, why not use 'em?

When it comes to dealing with any sudden manifestation of an anomaly from SCP-8987, Site-898 will enact its RUNS RED Procedure. It has been attached below.

[[div class="Red"]]

+ ##red|RUNS RED PROCEDURE##
**As penned by Director Julian Eden**

In a situation in which SCP-8987 has undergone an activation event, Site-898 must follow the RUNS RED Procedure, which includes the following instructions:

------
1. Upon receiving notification from OROGENESIS that significant seismic activity has occurred, all staff are to be on standby while the Seismology Sector works for confirmation.

2. Upon confirmation of an activation event, MTF Gamma-89 -- or any sufficiently trained personnel[[footnote]] Typically, members of Site Security.[[/footnote]] -- are to be deployed into the Red Brook Mine.

3. Enter the Red Brook Mine, seal the gate behind. Have personnel on standby at the entrance in case of emergency. Any remaining staff should remain within the Site until the Procedure's conclusion.

4. Locate the anomaly. Do not split up.

5. Determine the nature of the anomaly:
**Event**
**Object**
**Entity**

6. Act accordingly:
  If the anomaly is an **event**, let it run its course.
  If the anomaly is an **object**, determine its properties in the safest manner possible and retrieve it.
  If the anomaly is an **entity**, attempt to make contact. If the entity displays sapience, attempt containment diplomatically. If the entity does not display sapience, apprehend by force.

7. The Containment Wing lies beneath Site-898's central building. Due to the RUNS RED Procedure, there is an entrance to it linked within the mine. Secure the gate and enter. Close behind.

8. If applicable, you are to place the retrieved anomaly within one of the available holding cells.

9. Upon confirmation, personnel can now depart from the Site and the mine entrance can be unsealed.

10. The anomaly will be processed in due time.

11. Prick your finger on the needle in the Containment Wing.[[footnote]] Contaminant check. Lead, mercury, other.[[/footnote]]

Though wonderful, the beast beneath our feet is a unpredictable one. Do not forget that, do not grow comfortable up above and forget what is below.

Do not let the brook run red with our blood.
