Facility Policies

Anomalies & Testing

§1. Sentients

A. Personnel must not intentionally aggravate, provoke, or antagonize a sentient anomaly.

B. Personnel must not breach or interfere with recontainment of a breached anomaly. All personnel must avoid breached SCPs and recontainment efforts.

C. All sentient SCPs (except for SCP-662) are under Eta-9 jurisdiction. SCP-662 falls under the jurisdiction of the Military Police.

D. The following anomalies may authorize people into restricted areas when a combative escort is present:

SCP-035
SCP-049
SCP-343
SCP-527
SCP-2561

The following regulations apply to specific SCPs, and must be observed to avoid violating clause A and B.

SCP-131

All instances must not be physically or verbally attacked in any manner.

SCP-131-Purple is exempt from this article when the appropriate combative forces are preventing the anomaly from impeding security.

All instances must be treated with respect and care.
All personnel must avoid intentionally stepping on any instances.
Foundation Staff must not shine lights directly in the eye of any instances.
Personnel must not spray at any instances’ eyes outside of testing or sample collecting.

Visual exposure to SCP-1200-15 should be avoided.

SCP-035

SCP-035 must be referred to as “Trajan” out of respect.
SCP-035 must be treated with care and respect.
SCP-035 must not be given the location of SCP-049.
SCP-035 must not be physically or verbally attacked in any manner.

This article is voided if ordered by MTF.

Orders given by SCP-035 are not to be followed.
Personnel who put on the mask under the luring effects of SCP-035 do not commit a violation.

SCP-4966

All instances must not be physically or verbally attacked in any manner.

SCP-4966-RED and RUBY are exempt from this article when the appropriate combative forces are preventing the anomaly from impeding security.

All instances must not be intentionally stepped on.
All personnel may not intentionally "feed" SCP-4966 any items or tools that can be deployed to cause physical damage to others (weapons, melee, explosives, etc.) outside of controlled testing. All other items that cannot damage personnel may be freely given.

SCP-079

Outside an official test and secure testing environment (079's containment) no SCP controlled, influenced, or based electronically may be within the proximity of SCP-079.
SCP-079 may not be brought outside of its chamber unless the following conditions are met:

An official test or event requires SCP-079 to be removed from its chamber, or authorized by Eta-9 Command.
The current protocol is Normal, and the site is stable.
SCP-079 may not be brought to, placed in, or dropped down any of the following: Inner CDC, the inside of any SCP chamber, elevator shafts, & acid water.

Sentient anomalies are permitted to access and interact with SCP-079 freely; however, Eta-9 may remove an anomaly from SCP-079's presence should they deem it necessary.

SCP-343

Personnel are not to use violence to instigate a reaction from SCP-343.
SCP-343 must be treated with respect and care.

SCP-2561

SCP-2561 must be treated with respect and care.
Orders given by SCP-2561 must be followed by personnel under the rank of Security Class-3.

This ruling does not need to be followed under the following circumstances:
- A location or direction to SCP-527.
- An action that would result in complying personnel breaking either department rules, site regulations, or the Code of Ethics.
- Any action declared as void by attending Eta-9, the Ethics Committee, or any Security Class-3+.

Placeable radios should not be brought into the proximity of SCP-2561.

SCP-662

SCP-662 must be referred to as “Mr. Deeds” out of respect.
SCP-662 must be treated with care and respect.
SCP-662 must not be physically attacked or verbally threatened in any manner.
Only Security Class-3+ can pick up the bell. Personnel ranked below may request Mr. Deeds when he appears; however, they must follow these regulations:

Security Class-3+ may request any weapons, usables, or misc items.
Security Class-2 may request secondary weapons, usables, or misc items.
Security Class-0 and 1 may only request usable or miscellaneous items.
Scientific Personnel may request necessary items for a test or an interview.

Requests should not result in harming any personnel, Class-D, or other anomalies.
Once Security Class-3+ personnel are done with the request(s), they must drop the bell or place it in its original place. Disobeying this regulation will result in a Improper Use of Anomalies charge.
Items requested to Mr. Deeds must only be taken by the person requesting.

SCP-049

SCP-049 must be referred to as “Doctor” out of respect.
SCP-049 must be treated with care and respect.
Orders given by SCP-049 must be followed to avoid death or possible SCP agitation unless any of these exceptions apply:

Personnel classed Security Class-4 or above, as well as anomalies, must not be harmed. The deaths of these personnel will deem SCP-049 hostile.
Excessive waste of Foundation and/or Class-D resources must be refused. Specific problematic Class-D personnel may be terminated at the order of SCP-049.

Personnel must not utilize the “cure inverse” or “cure squared” near SCP-049.
Interactions between SCP-049-2 and SCP-035 is a known agitator of SCP-049 and such should be prevented in its presence, unless for testing purposes.

SCP-527

SCP-527 must be referred to as “Mr. Fish” out of respect.
SCP-527 must be treated with respect and care.
SCP-527 must not be physically attacked or verbally threatened in any manner.
In the instance that an SCP-527 mob starts, Foundation Personnel must follow these specific guidelines:

Foundation Personnel must be ordered by Mr. Fish to kill/attack other personnel and Class-Ds.
- Under no circumstance may members of Mr. Fish's mob attack non-combative personnel ranked Security Class-3 or above.
Foundation Personnel may freely follow Mr. Fish to any area on the site.
Foundation Personnel may not interact with any SCP objects or contained anomalies during an instigated mob that can cause a containment breach.
Weapons must be turned in to combative personnel after a mob has calmed down. Failure to do so will count as a theft charge.
Personnel may not attempt to succeed in instigating a mob with SCP-527.

Personnel should not attempt to bring SCP-527 and SCP-2561 into contact. Similarly, if SCP-527 is armed, he should not be told where SCP-2561 is.

SCP-1730

When attempting to communicate with SCP-1730 it should be referred to as "The Artist". This is recommended and not required.
SCP-1730 may not be harmed in any way unless ordered by MTF unit Eta-9.
All SCP-1730 tests and interactions require at least 1 Class-D present to deactivate any spell runes.
SCP-1730 has the ability to draw runes on the walls of the facility. It will most commonly spell out phrases but it can also cast a variety of spells that only effect the first person who made visual contact with the runes.

Scientific Personnel may freely inspect these runes in an effort to translate them.

SCP-1730 in some instances can roam around the facility and write runes on the walls. While roaming it is not considered to be breached.

It is only considered to be breached if it is actively using runes to kill personnel. Protocol possible breach should be activated.

§2. Objects

A. Personnel shall not intentionally infect themselves or provide themselves with the effects of an anomaly.

B. Personnel shall not test an anomaly on themselves or other individuals.

C. Only combative personnel may transport object anomalies.

§3. Testing

§3.1. Test Regulations

A. All tests must have an established question. Test questions do not have to be unique and can be repeated.

B. All tests must not involve random or unnecessary harm, distress, or angering of SCPs.

C. All tests must comply with the regulations for each SCP under section 1 of this chapter.

D. Tests involving race, gender, or other identity markers are not permitted.

E. Upon request of test subjects, the following must apply:

The researcher has a test question ready.
The anomalies that are being used in the test are available. Testing staff are responsible for requesting anomalies.

F. Some experiments may be conducted on Foundation Personnel.

The personnel must voluntarily participate.
The anomalies involved must be friendly and safe, and any effects must be temporary. Foundation Personnel must not be endangered.
Foundation Personnel cannot be instructed to intentionally harm or terminate an SCP.

G. The Ethics Committee may waive certain laws for tests where there is significant potential for novel discoveries.

H. Tests that involve harm, distress, or possible angering of an SCP must be approved by the Ethics Committee and Eta-9 Command, and can be refused if the test has no purpose or is being repeated too recently.

I. Any test highly likely to cause a breach must have a purpose and receive approval by the Ethics Committee and Eta-9 Command.

J. MTF unit Eta-9 has the authority to postpone or cancel tests conducted on anomalies and areas of their jurisdiction in these circumstances:

The test has no purpose and will provide no scientific findings.
The test involves harm, distress, or possible angering of an SCP and does not have the required approval defined in Article H.
The test is highly likely to cause a breach and does not have the required approval defined in Article I.
The test attempts to or is likely to cause termination of an anomaly, and the researcher does not have a "termination permit."
The researcher refuses to comply with valid orders from Eta-9.

K. Refusal or denial of a test by Eta-9 must be reasoned, and if applicable, it must be stated when the test can occur or how the issue can be rectified. This may be overruled by a superior within Eta-9, the MTF Overseer, an adopted resolution of the Council, the Chairman of the Council, or the Administrator.

§3.2. Spectators

A. Personnel may observe tests with the permission of the hosting researcher, and can be removed at any time by the hosting researcher or combatives.

B. Spectators must remain with the test and follow all instructions by combatives.

C. The Ethics Committee and Audit & Accountability Committee do not require permission to spectate tests.
