General Provisions
Interacting With SCPs
Paragon Research Institute contains many sentient SCPs, capable of interacting with personnel. For the well-being and cooperation of residing SCPs, it is essential that all SCPs are treated in a respectful, adaptive manner. Personnel violating any article of this chapter should be verbally warned before being prosecuted for provocation of an SCP, pursuant to COE 6.1.15, unless such act is knowingly in violation or a flagrant attack of an SCP, where they should be immediately prosecuted for the corresponding crimes. Any type of interaction with non-hostile SCPs, including being confrontational/non-compliant, as long as it does not directly harass the actor, resulting in multiple Foundation casualties, causes the SCP to breach or disobey the orders of an SCP's authority figure (ETA-9 or MP), is allowed.
Moreover, the facility contains object SCPs and staff must follow a general standard when handling them for the preservation of the anomaly and safety of personnel, see Section 7. Unauthorized or improper handling of object SCPs* will be prosecuted for mishandling of an SCP, pursuant to COE 6.1.16.
*Lambda-7 may use SCPs in accordance with their own regulations to assist them in their duties.
For reference of the described SCPs, see the Paragon Science Hub SCP List.

SCP-131-GRY must not be summoned (candles placed in a star-shaped pattern) outside of a testing setting.
Section 2: SCP-4966
SCP-4966 has various instances, listed in its research file.
All instances must not be physically attacked or verbally threatened in any manner.
Physical attacks include but are not limited to: Throwing equipment at an instance, punching an instance, deploying pepper spray, etc.
SCP-4966-RED and RUBY are exempt from this article when the appropriate combative forces are preventing the anomaly from impeding security.

All personnel may not provide any items or tools that can be deployed to cause physical damage to others (weapons, melee, explosives, etc.) outside of controlled testing.
Giving smoke bombs or items that do not cause physical damage are still allowed.
Section 3: SCP-527
SCP-527 is one of the sentient anomalies from its research file.
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 may kill/attack other personnel and Class-D except for Security Class-3+.
Foundation Personnel must be ordered by Mr. Fish to kill/attack authoritative bodies, including combative.
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 into combative 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.
The following location restrictions will be temporarily lifted (upon SCP-527’s request):
Entrance to the Medium and Heavy Containment Zones similarly may be entered without an escort, where anomalies cannot be interacted with under any circumstances.
Entering said areas outside of an escort or without SCP-527 will result in a trespassing charge.
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.
Section 4: SCP-2561
SCP-2561 is one of the sentient anomalies from its research file.
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 guards, Ethics Committee, or Security Class-3+.
Placeable radios should not be brought into the proximity of SCP-2561.
Section 5: SCP-343
SCP-343 is one of the sentient anomalies from its research file.
Personnel are not to use violence to instigate a reaction from SCP-343.
SCP-343 must be treated with respect and care.
Section 6: SCP-662
SCP-662 is one of the sentient anomalies from its research file.
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 miscellaneous items.
Security Class-2 may request secondary weapons, usables, or miscellaneous items.
Security Class-0 and 1 may only request useable 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 SCPs.
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 an obstruction charge.
Items requested to Mr. Deeds must only be taken by the person requesting.
Section 7: SCP-049
SCP-049 is one of the sentient anomalies from its research file.
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 Class-D resources must be refused. Specific problematic Class-D personnel may be terminated at the order of SCP-049.
Section 8: SCP-079
SCP-079 is one of the sentient anomalies from its research file.
Outside an official test and secure testing environment — 079's containment — no SCP controlled, influenced, or based electronically may be within the proximity of 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
A minimum of 1 MP and 1 ETA-9 are present for the movement
The current protocol is Normal
The breakers are currently at Low or Nominal
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 SCPs are permitted to access and interact with SCP-079 freely; however, Eta-9/MP may attempt to remove an SCP from 079's presence should they deem it necessary.
All events (tests, interviews, etc etc) may not occur with SCP-079 unless the breakers are currently at Medium, Low, or Nominal. Should the breakers reach High or Critical, the test is to be cancelled and combatives are to repair the breakers as soon as possible.
Section 8: Handling of Objects
This section applies to all SCPs deemed inanimate objects, contained as minimal-risk items in specialized boxes housed within the Secure Storage Wing, or in larger or high-risk settings, contained in designated chambers in the Medium or High Containment Zone.
Foundation Personnel must not intentionally infect themselves or provide themselves with the effects of an SCP.
Personnel who were infected in a legitimate manner may work to spread the infection and harm others. Infected instances must not infect others in a designated spawn area.
Foundation Personnel must not self-test or test on other Foundation Personnel.
Only combative departments (Security Department and Mobile Task Forces) may pick up, move, or transport SCP objects, containers, and crates.
