Sandbox III: Sandbox with a Vengeance

Can't believe I'm doing this again

Move Fast and Break Things

Item #: SCP-Whatever

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: The implementation of Procedure 123 has been successful in containing SCP-X. The anomalous effects of SCP-X have been coupled with the stock performance of Foundation-owned Allied Holdings (ALH) on the New York Stock Exchange. In accordance with Procedure 123, consistent growth is projected over the next 2 years.

Description: SCP-X is an anomalous Thingy? designed to trigger its effects when the stock price of a programmed company does increase in stock price at the end of the financial quarter. How SCP-X came into Foundation control and previous containment procedures can be found in Addendum 1.

Initial attempts to deactivate SCP-X were unsuccessful and ceased upon the implementation of Procedure 123. The history of SCP-X containment procedures and Allied Holdings can be found in Procedure 123.

Procedure 123 refers to the creating and continuing Foundation control of Allied Holdings, LLC. Procedure 123 was designed by Project Leader Robert Keithley, current CEO of ALH.

History of Procedure 123

Y0: ALH changes its name from Securities and Credits Programmes¹ and begins trading on the NYSE as a logistics company.

Y3: ALH announces buyout of Pure Springs Water, a local water bottling plant. Stock increases 0.2%. The Foundation begins the practice of hiring civilian employees. Only the Board of Directors and CEO Robert Keithley are informed of SCP-X.

Y4: Robert Keithley requests to utilise SCP-2630 to ensure stock growth during a small recession. A one-time approval is granted by 05-3.

Y4, H2: Recession lasts longer than predicted. This is seen by the 05 council as a direct consequence of using SCP-2630 and further access is restricted.

Y5 Peter Schafer is hired as President. Under Schafer's direction, ALH switches to mark-to-market accounting. Stock increases by 5%.

Y6: Several expansions are announced by ALH. ALH opens Forecast, a new trading subsidiary. Stock increases by 10%.

Y7: New ALH subsidiary Torrent is not profitable. Loans taken with Bank1 and Bank2 are restructured and marked as profit.

Y9: Loan payments for child companies Potable and Cloudburst near due. ALH restructures loans using stock as collateral. This is marked as profit. Stock increases 2%.

Y11: ALH enters partnership with San Ines, the largest water supplier in the northeast. A 10 year deal is signed for ALH to be the exclusive water utility for the areas serviced by San Ines in the upper eastern seaboard. ALH subsidiary Aqueduct is created to manage the partnership. Stock increases 20%.

Y12: Peter Schafer proposes to the board to buy out San Ines' stake in the partnership to further ALH growth.

Joseph Rigault No, no, that's the genius part

MTFA is funded with capital from ALH as well as loans secured by ALH stock. Loans include trigger clause that activates immediate payout if ALH stock drops below a certain point.
