This is a preview for a possible document in the SCP Foundation library, detailing the severity of containment breaches. just an idea, tell me your thoughts! Note this is my first try at making anything for the Foundation, so its probably terrible
The SCP Foundation Security Breaches
The SCP Foundation is dedicated to, "Securing, Containing, and Protecting" but even with the most advanced security, containment breaches are always seen as a possibility, and they have happened before. A Containment Breach occurs when an SCP or part of an SCP escapes from its predefined containment chamber/cell/area through any means. For example, if SCP-513-1 becomes present in any mind of a personel, and the Foundation becomes aware of this, it is considered a Containment Breach unless it was intended to happen. There are certain procedures in Containment Breaches that must be followed to allow for possible recontainment. Most breaches or events due to an SCP becoming uncontrollable are listed as █K-Class events, with the space being replaced by a letter. If multiple events have the same name (ex. AK-Class and NK-Class End of the World) than the further down the alphabet the letter is, the more severe the breach is (NK-Class is more severe than AK-Class). Some breaches are labeled with a Greek letter, examples are Theta-Class and Omega-Class. A list Security Breach protocol names, in order from least to most severe:
PK-Class Safe Containment Breach
EK-Class Euclid Containment Breach
SK-Class Keter Breach
VK-Class Keter/Euclid Breach
Theta-Class Information Breach
AK-Class End of the World
NK-Class End of the World
CK-Class World Restruction
RK-Class World Restruction
IK-Class Global Civilization Collapse
XK-Class World Destruction
ZK-Class Reality Failure
Omega-Class Foundation Re-Containment Failure
[DATA REDACTED]
If a PK-Class Safe Security Breach occurs, O5 commmand is to be alerted and the facility is to enter lockdown to prevent further escapes until all MTF's that are sent to retrieve the escaped SCPs give the "all-clear" to resume normal duty.
In the event of an SK-Class or VK-Class Containment Breach that lasts longer than four days, the Omega and Alpha Warheads at Sites 17 and 19 are to be detonated within 90 seconds of personel evacuation. In the event that a Keter level SCP breaches the outer wall of Containment facility, the corresponding site warhead is to be detonated without further notice and if necessary, preparations for an NK-Class End of the World scenario, XK-Class World Destruction, ZK-Class Reality Failure event, and/or [DATA EXPUNGED] are to be done as soon as possible.
If a VK-Class Containment Breach occurs outside of Foundation control or a SK-Class Containment Breach of over 10 Keter-Class SCPs occurs or (as mentioned below) an uncontainable Theta-Class Information Breach occurs, Omega-Class Re-Containment Failure will be enacted and all Foundation personel will be terminated by existing on-site warheads, in the hope that all information and items ever existing and related to the Foundation, including all SCPs, will be destroyed by the detonation. The world is to be warned of an IK-Class Global Civilization Collapse and possible [DATA EXPUNGED] before termination of the Foundation. Government authorities are directed to keep any and all important government officials (determined by that government) to any possible "safe" location and a [DATA REDACTED] is to be accomplished in order to begin world rebuilding as soon as the "all-clear" is given to by that governments command unless the world is destroyed or the observable universe obliterated or other possble events have occured. In the event that the universe remains intact or the world undestroyed after 4 weeks, the decision to rebuild the Foundation will be held by a vote of the governments at the [REDACTED] and a 3/4 vote by all participating nation governments must be maintained in order to rebuild the Foundation.
Should a government information security breach be accomplished by any SCP or events caused by an SCP, including a containment breach or any classified information be leaked by any personel or items within the Foundation, Theta-Class Information Breach protocol is to be accomplished and depending on the severity of the situation, any and all personel involved are to be terminated as soon as possible and a complete lockdown of the Foundation is to be accomplished to prevent further information spread. MTF's are authorized to shoot and kill and personel who do not comply with orders. Foundation Containment Forces are authorized to leave the facility and attempt to recontain the information by [DATA EXPUNGED]. If possible, all persons outside the Foundation with information that is classified will be administered Class-D Amnesiacs and be held by the Foundation for no less than three days. If recontainment of information is not possible or information has spread to a scale of over [REDACTED] people outside the Foundation, an Omega-Class Foundation Re-Containment Failure protocol is ot be accomplished.
In the event that any contained diseases, whether Euclid or Keter, escape the Foundation to any extent, a VK-Class Containment Breach is to immediately be put into effect and termination of any and all infected persons is to be accomplished by MTF's armed with [DATA EXPUNGED] and a gas mask and quaruntine suit capable of [REDACTED]. Once disease is effectively recontained and no other cases of the disease are found after 96 hours, VK-Class Containment Breach protocols may be pulled down by O5 Command, however, lockdown procedures will remain in effect untill it is absolutely ensured that all SCP's are contained. If no other SCP's are confirmed escaped after 48 hours since VK-Class protocol is pulled, lockdown procedures will go out of affect and personel will be instructed to return to their stations and return to normal duties by O5 Command.
An AK-Class and NK-Class End of the World event and an XK-Class World Destruction event are differentiated by how fast the world is estimated to be ended by the uncontained and/or uncontrolled SCPs. An AK-Class event is put into effect if the world is estimated to be ended by no earlier than one month after the containment breach. An NK-Class event is in effect if the world is estimated to end by no earlier than two weeks and no later than one month. An XK-Class World Destruction event is in effect if the worled is estimated to end in no less than [REDACTED] hours to two weeks. If an AK-Class or NK-Class event occurs, the Foundation will attempt to recontain the SCP while preparations are made for the appropriate event in the event that the SCP cannot be recontained. If the SCPs are successfully recontained and it can be ensured that the world will not end, than after 24 hours the associated event protocols may be pulled and personel are to resume normal duty. The containment is presumed failed if the Foundation cannot recontain the SCPs by 24 hours to the estimated end of the world, by which the final preparations are to be made for the apropriate end of the world event. If an XK-Class World Destruction is in effect, the Foundation will attempt to recontain the SCP, but it will be presumed a failed attempt after [REDACTED] hours or 24 hours before the estimated time of the destruction event, by which the Foundation will prepare for a world destruction event. The only ever XK-Class event to begin the protocol management for preparations occured on █/██/19██ when a containment breach of SCP-███, SCP-███, SCP-███, and SCP-682 occured due to a mistake in [REDACTED].
After any and all containment breach events and a successful recontainment of all escaped SCPs, containment procedures for all affected SCP items or informations are to be revised in order to ensure recontainment. A 3/4 vote by O5 Command is necessary to revise any containment procedures.
