Special Containment Procedures: The Foundation has requisitioned emergency funds from the UN to aid in research towards ways of neutralising SCP-6000. All civilians are to be immediately evacuated from tsunami zones and areas likely to erode into the ocean. Global aid efforts are to be directed towards the relocation of civilians to refugee camps situated in high-altitude areas. Cargo ships are to be repurposed for the transport of food, construction and medical supplies for humanitarian efforts.
Reality benders capable of initiating a calamity on the scale of SCP-6000 have been consulted regarding potential means of stopping or suppressing the effects of SCP-6000. No method of prevention has been discovered.
A disinformation campaign has been initiated, describing SCP-6000 as a result of human-incited global warming melting aquatic methane hydrate deposits. Investigations into the cause of SCP-6000 not led by the Foundation are to be suppressed or undermined by any means, so as not to interfere with the Foundation.
As of 3PF1, the Foundation’s existence has been revealed to the world to a limited degree, portrayed as a small organisation operating under the UN specialising in crisis containment. This was done to enable superior control over the world’s resources to better direct humanitarian efforts and contain SCP-6000.
SCP-6000 has proven invulnerable to thaumaturgic and anomalous means of prevention. The scale of SCP-6000 is too large to be properly contained. The following table details attempted methods of neutralisation or avoidance of SCP-6000.
| Proposal | Method | Result |
| Heavy-Scale Scranton Reality Anchors | Massive SRCs would be deposited at strategic points along the bottom of the ocean, to stabilise the regions. | Ineffective. |
| Bailing Water Into Pocket Realities | Portals to several pocket realities would be opened on the ocean floor to drain water. Continually disposing of and replacing the pocket realities would allow significant amounts of water to be removed. | Water levels dropped marginally before the pocket realities collapsed under the pressure and released the water back into the ocean. Filling a pocket reality to such a degree had never been attempted before. |
| Escape | Numerous possibilities for evacuation from Earth were proposed, including floating cities, orbital habitation posts, and off-world colonies. | All proposals were denied. The majority were infeasible, ethically unsound, or couldn’t be undertaken without the abandonment of SCP-6000 prevention operations. |
| Underground Bunkers | Self-sufficient expandable underground bunkers would be constructed. | Due to the eventual submersion of most of Earth's landmass, bunkers have no long-term viability. The project was aborted in the early stages. |
| Prayer | In light of the similarities between SCP-6000 and various flood-based myths, the entire world population was encouraged to pray to their respective Gods. Sacrificial rituals were to also be performed. | Ineffective. |
Description: SCP-6000 refers to the phenomenon of water frequently erupting from below the sediment of the ocean floor around the world. SCP-6000 occurs at random intervals, with an average of one SCP-6000 instance daily. The influx of water results in a continual, rapid rise in ocean levels. The increase in water covering the Earth meant that the majority of low lying areas and coastal cities were submerged shortly after SCP-6000 began occurring. The quantity of water released varies, but generally causes a global rise in ocean level of several centimetres daily.
Rainfall has increased as a result of SCP-6000, causing flooding further inland. Many arid areas experienced an increase in crop output, while other areas had submerged farmland. The rain also caused more hillside erosion; population centres in hilly areas have experienced severe damage.
During SCP-6000, pressurised water will explode from the ocean floor, releasing millions of tons of water into the ocean. Regions of SCP-6000 activity have been excavated and investigated. The surrounding areas are highly damaged from the eruption, so investigation of SCP-6000 blasts must wait for days after the event while the debris settles. No cause has yet been found. The eruptions of SCP-6000 cause extreme damage to the ocean floor. The resulting underwater landslides can cause both damage to coastlines, and form tsunamis. SCP-6000s occurring in the deep ocean will also destroy methane hydrate deposits, which will then release methane into the atmosphere, increasing the rate of glacial melting, and causing further flooding.
A disaster on the scale of SCP-6000 must be immediately halted. The continual, irreparable damage SCP-6000 does to Earth makes its neutralisation an absolute priority. Failure to stop the rising sea levels in time will permanently hinder or prevent the Foundation from fulfilling its primary mission of preserving normalcy. There is no indication that SCP-6000 will stop, and a continuation of the current trend will ensure complete submersion of the planet in less than 200 years.
If SCP-6000 was created by a sapient entity, no motive is obvious. Attempts to communicate with higher beings and deities to find information have yielded no results.
SCP-6000 was discovered after a series of significant rises in oceanic height did not correspond to any recorded glacial melt. Foundation operatives were dispatched to investigate the statistical anomaly. Upon SCP-6000’s discovery, fictitious scientific records were created to justify the sea-level rise.
SCP-6000 occurrences have increased exponentially, causing more flooding across the planet. The Foundation evoked emergency powers, gaining control of the UN and the GOC. The Foundation then initiated a programme to unify all global powers to work together to stop SCP-6000. Any nations, companies, and GoIs refusing to comply with the Foundation were infiltrated, incentivised, or destroyed. The bulk of Foundation resources were dedicated to civilian support and damage control. Very little is known about the anomalous principles governing SCP-6000, and very little could be done to contain or neutralise the effects of SCP-6000.
Addenda
The following is a timeline detailing Foundation Operations after the first SCP-6000 event.
1PF: Water had begun to leak into the Ways. The Serpent’s Hand had retreated into the Wanderer’s Library and sealed the Ways permenantly. Any possibility of escape from SCP-6000 through the Ways has been destroyed.
4PF: The Foundation had exhausted all potential means of counteracting SCP-6000. No new information had emerged after years of studying SCP-6000. It was concluded that the only realistically achievable goal was to wait until the circumstances of SCP-6000 altered.
12PF: SCP-6000-1 manifested. SCP-6000-1 is an SCP-6000 instance that manifested in the Dead Sea. This was the first recorded case of SCP-6000 taking place outside of the ocean. The eruption destroyed nearby communities, and the water released in the blast was enough to overflow the lake. The Foundation immediately moved to secure the area for testing. Due to the shallowness of SCP-6000-1, it could be conveniently analysed. SCP-6000-1 is currently undergoing testing. See the SCP-6000-1 Test Results document for information.
23PF: The Foundation had experienced massive personnel and infrastructure loss as a result of the floods. Almost all of its resources had been expended, and supporting a widespread workforce was no longer a viable option. It was concluded that the most realistically feasible method of achieving the Foundation’s goals is to shut down indefinitely. The remainder of Foundation resources were used to construct new facilities on higher ground, with the capacity to autonomously hold anomalies in perpetuity. Upon the completion of construction in 30PF, all disposable anomalies were neutralised and all others were put under Automated Containment Protocols. The Foundation then officially disbanded.
