TALE DRAFT: Don't Worry, E.X.P.L.O.R.E!- Safety Training #18

The following is a script for Lesson 18 of the New Researcher Safety Training video series, standard across all sites.

Welcome to Safety Training, new members of the SCP Foundation! Here at the Foundation we want to make sure our researchers stay safe, sane, and alive while on the job. In this video series, we will be going over important lessons on how to stay just that and ensure you have a peaceful retirement.

TITLE CARD:

Lesson 18, Extradimensional Travel Part 2, Earth-Unlike Dimensions

Today we will continue our lesson on extradimensional travel! The Foundation can be dangerous, and not only because of the various entities currently contained that may want to kill you. Due to our work with the anomalous, sometimes the fabric of spacetime itself can be weakened. In these cases, it can lead to holes to alternate realities that our brave researchers may accidentally find themselves in. Now, in our last lesson we covered what to do if you end up in a dimension that's similar to Earth, but what happens if where you go doesn't look like anything you know? What if you fall into a land of flat plains of gray stretching as far as the eye can see or find yourself running down a series of infinitely long hallways? It may sound scary, but don't worry! After this lesson you'll be able to look these incomprehensible realities in the eye and say that you'll make it back home- even literally! Just make sure to remember this simple acronym- E.X.P.L.O.R.E.

E- Exit. While we love to explore strange new locations, you researchers are incredibly important resources and we'd hate to lose you in a bizarre mess of tentacles or an environment of pure hydrogen. Therefore, all of your impromptu research must be overridden by looking for an exit. When you make it back home, you can tell us all about the world you found and we can send in equipment and test subjects to perform more organized tests.

X- Xenia. Some of these strange places may also include unknown alien organisms that could even be sapient. If you find any, make sure to observe them and take notes. Don't get too close- they may be dangerous! Just keep looking for that Exit. If you're lucky, one of those creatures may even get named after you!

P- Place markers. Don't forget to make note of where you've gone and how to get back to where you entered this new plane. Even if there wasn't an exit at your entrance point, it may appear again. This is also useful to make sure you don't accidentally backtrack. You can use just about anything to help mark your way- rocks, electronic devices, empty ammo clips, even strips of clothing if you're sure they won't blow away. If the Foundation makes it into the dimension, they can also use your trail to track you!

L- Learn. Learning is an important aspect of the Foundation and can help us contain anomalies. While you're looking for the Exit, learn as much as you can about the world around you. Containment of extradimensional anomalies is normally as simple as sealing the entrance but we still want to learn about what's inside. Pay close attention to the next three letters of the acronym for some important aspects to learn about.

O- Obfuscation. Obfuscation means when something makes information difficult to understand. This is important to notice during your research- if you start forgetting what you've learned there may be a memetic hazard preventing you from learning about the dimension. To help combat this, make sure to take detailed notes and don't forget the E.X.P.L.O.R.E. acronym!

R- Reality. Some dimensions like to mess with what we call Hume values, which are what determine how real something is. You should have already learned about Hume values so we won't go over them in depth. If you don't have a Hume value reader when trapped on the other side, take note if you seem to be disappearing. This could indicate an extremely low Hume value and finding the Exit becomes all the more important.

E- Euclidity. No, this has nothing to do with object classes. Rather, you should make sure that the geometry of the other dimension "makes sense". The distance between two points remains the same, interior spaces can fit inside their apparent exterior container, and so on. If you find yourself turning in circles but finding different hallways each time, this could indicate a non-Euclidian geometry, making finding the Exit a bit more difficult.

And there you have it, new researchers! If you ever fall through a wall into a land of abstract shapes, you can always E.X.P.L.O.R.E your way out! And if you are unfortunately unable to find the exit and die in the line of duty, remember to die happy by remembering our motto- We Die In The Darkness So You Can Live In The Light. This is your job now, and there is no greater duty than risking your life to protect the world.

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be permanently contained in Site-993, located in southern Wyoming. Site-993 is to be dedicated to the containment of SCP-XXXX to minimize the potential effects of SCP-XXXX on both the general population and Foundation personnel1. Site-993 is to be located 200 ft underground and connected by a single elevator to the surface whose shaft can be detonated at any moment. SCP-XXXX's containment cell is located down a 250 ft steel hallway from the shaft entrance. 155 ft from the cell a large door will be placed. No personnel are allowed past that point. SCP-XXXX's cell is to be comprised of an outer shell of 30 in thick concrete and lined inside with 50 in of steel2. No doors or windows are allowed in the cell.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a humanoid of 170 cm that is constantly glowing at 450 lumens. It is currently unknown how it vocalizes or sustains itself. Further testing is required. It also is a severe cognitohazard and if anyone goes within 150 ft of it they immediately get the urge to commit suicide, usually by coming into direct contact with SCP-XXXX which will immediately burn them3. It also is capable of running up to 100 mph and is theorized if let lose in a city could [DATA EXPUNGED].
