Per 
NOTICE TO ALL PCS PERSONNEL
THE FOLLOWING DOCUMENT IS WRITTEN USING THE FORMATTING AND LANGUAGE OF THE FORMER SCP FOUNDATION. PCS UNION FORMATTING AND DESIGNATIONS HAVE BEEN CONVERTED TO THEIR CLOSEST COUNTERPART IN THE SCP FOUNDATION.
ALL INQUERIES REGARDING THIS DECISION ARE TO BE DIRECTED TO DOCTORS HADRION AND LUONG.
SCP-XXXX
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is placed within the cafeteria of PCS Site Hausenheimer. All personnel from the former SCP Foundation and the PCS Union are allowed to utilize SCP-XXXX at any time. Due to SCP-XXXX's intense power consumption, a specialized miniature nuclear reactor has been created for the sole purpose of powering SCP-XXXX.
In the event of a containment breach, SCP-XXXX is to be removed from its generator and taken to Site Hausenheimer's safe room.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a brown 1940's-era electronic slide projector measuring 20cm/15cm/15cm. SCP-XXXX has been modified by the PCS Union to accept power cables of the caliber necessary for SCP-XXXX to be consistently powered. When provided with less than five megawatts of power, SCP-XXXX functions as a regular slide projector of its era. When provided with between five and twelve megawatts of power, however, SCP-XXXX will project an image of an alternate dimension. The dimensions vary with the lens inserted into the front of the projector. Currently, the PCS Union has access to six different lenses, five of which were recovered with SCP-XXXX and one of which was created by the PCS Union1.
The images produced by SCP-XXXX are soft, and will tear with sufficient pressure. These effects are not permanent and mend themselves after approximately one minute. This effect happens no matter the surface projected onto by SCP-XXXX. When the projection is torn, it is possible to pass through into the alternate dimension displayed. Alternate dimensions can be returned from via the same method as they were entered.
Addendum XXXX.1 - Recovery: SCP-XXXX was discovered in 2018 in Des Moines, Iowa in a residential home. Until the anomalous effects of SCP-XXXX were discovered, the family that owned it had kept it as an antique. The anomalous effects of SCP-XXXX were discovered when a lightning bolt struck the family's household and flooded SCP-XXXX with enough power to activate its anomalous abilities2. After this incident, SCP-XXXX was given to the PCS Union by its previous owners. When questioned, the previous owners could not remember where they had acquired it from.
Addendum XXXX.2 - Investigation Logs: After the recovery of SCP-XXXX, Dr. Theo Leslie volunteered to become the Head Researcher of SCP-XXXX. Dr. Leslie placed a call for an MTF Squad to volunteer for the investigation, resulting in MTF Theta-9 (Lover Boys) being accepted as the primary MTF Squadron for investigations of SCP-XXXX. Logs of their investigations can be found below, organized chronologically.
Addendum XXXX.3 - Project Finestra: On June 15th, 2020, Assistant Researcher Caroline proposed to the research staff of SCP-XXXX to attempt to create their own lens for SCP-XXXX. This motion passed unanimously, resulting in the beginning of Project Finestra. Project Finestra ended May 24th, 2022, and resulted in the creation of SCP-XXXX-6.
The following is the audio log for the successful test of SCP-XXXX-6. A full list of all SCP-XXXX-6 tests can be found on attached document "SCP-XXXX-6/5052."
Test XXXX-6/57 - 24.05.22
Notes: This document shows the first successful test of SCP-XXXX-6. 56 Tests had been conducted prior, all of which were unsuccessful.
<Log Begin>
Dr. Leslie: This is Doctor Theo Leslie, recording test log number… 56? No, 57, for [SCP]-XXXX-6. Composition of the glass has been changed to a carbon-glass, and Johan decided to carve a duck into it. Maybe that'll make a difference. To be dreadfully honest, we're running out of ideas and frankly, running out of interest. This might be impossible. We all agreed to hold a vote on it next month and I doubt many will want to keep going when we've accomplished nothing.
Dr. Leslie sighs. Silence follows for approximately 30 seconds.
Dr. Leslie: Caroline, please turn on the generator.
Research Assistant Caroline: Yes Doctor.
The generator can be heard activating.
Dr. Leslie: Alright. T-Minus ten until the generator warms up enough to get [SCP]-XXXX working.
Silence
Dr. Leslie: SCP-XXXX has reached it's necessary power. Projection has begun.
Silence for several seconds, followed by gasping from the research staff.
Dr. Leslie: Sweet mary mother of joseph, the damn thing is working.
Dr. Leslie clears their throat.
Dr. Leslie: Failed attempts normally produce a blank, non-anomalous projection. This attempt, however, has resulted in the appearance of a new dimension. Dimension XXXX-6 appears so far as a brightly lit cafeteria not dissimilar to our cafeteria here at Hausenheimer. Humanoid entities inhabit the area and have taken notice of our appearance. Entities appear to be wearing clothing similar to standard PCS Lab Gear, Hazard Suits, and [MTF] Armor.
Silence.
**Dr. Leslie:// All entities except for the one wearing equipment similar to a PCS [MTF] have fled the room. Lighting has changed to red. Likely an alarm of some sort has gone off.
Silence.
**Dr. Leslie:// Four more entities similar to the aforementioned have entered the room. One entity wearing a suit has entered as well. The entity wearing a suit is placing a hand on the projection… oh. Entity seems to have lost its footing.
The sound of an alarm can be heard in the background.
Dr. Leslie: Projection is torn. Entity seems to have hit its head on the floor, and is bleeding.
Dr. Leslie turns away from recording device.
Dr. Leslie: Johan, please fetch the med kit. I'll help them up.
The sound of an alarm can be heard in the background.
Dr. Leslie: Ah! Oh, ah-hem. The armed entities raised their weapons towards me when I approached. I currently have my hands raised upwards. Johan has returned with the med kit.
The sound of an alarm can be heard in the background.
Dr. Leslie: Entities seem to understand what the med kit is. They have lowered their armaments.
The sound of an alarm can be heard in the background.
Dr. Leslie: Suited entity is stable and conscious.
Dr. Leslie clears their throat.
Dr. Leslie: Hello?
The sound of an alarm can be heard in the background.
Dr. Leslie: Uh… do you speak English?
The sound of an alarm can be heard in the background.
Dr. Leslie: Suited entity seems to understand I am attempting to communicate, however it does not seem to have understood what I said.
Dr. Leslie clears their throat again.
Dr. Leslie: Sprechen sie Deutsch?
The sound of an alarm can be heard in the background.
Suited Entity: …Ja.
Dr. Leslie: Oh! Uh, alright. Unfortunately, I can barely speak it. Uh… Caroline? Can you please come help me? The suited entity seems to understand German.
Research Assistant Caroline: Of course!
<End Log>
Additional Notes: The following document is an interview conducted immediately after the end of this research log.
Interviewed: Gregory Aachenmann, previously referred to as the "Suited Entity,"
Interviewer: Dr. Theo Leslie.
Note: Research Assistant Caroline acted as proxy for Dr. Leslie and Mr. Aachenmann, who will henceforth be referred to as "Aachenmann". All questions and answers were translated by Research Assistant Caroline.
<Begin Log>
Dr. Leslie: So sorry about the trouble. We… weren't exactly expecting something inhabited.
Aachenmann: That's… alright. If I may be so blunt, who are you people?
Dr. Leslie: Oh! Forgive my rudeness. I am Dr. Theo Leslie, head of research on [SCP]-XXXX for the PCS Union. I speak on behalf of my research team. If you wish to introduce yourself, you may. Otherwise, please ask any questions you would like before we begin ours.
Aachenmann: Hm. I am Gregory Aachenmann, Site Director of SCP Foundation Site-33.
Dr. Leslie: A pleasure to meet you, Mr. Aachenmann. So, do you have any questions before we begin?
Aachenmann: Laughter. You know, I'm not used to interrogations this accommodating. Alright, then. What exactly is the PCS Union?
Dr. Leslie: PCS is an acronym. Preserve, Co-operate, Speak. We "Preserve," anomalous locations and objects, "Co-operate," with sentient anomalous individuals or groups, and "Speak," about the anomalous to the public. Consider us a hybrid of a research institute and advocacy group.
Aachenmann appears visibly confused.
Aachenmann: That raises several more questions than it answers, but… well, none of those questions particularly matter outside of my own personal interest. I'll cut to the chase then, how did you create a portal into our site?
Dr. Leslie: [SCP]-XXXX. The cut down version is that it's an antique projector that can create entries into different dimensions. We accessed your dimension during an attempt to create our own access point using [SCP]-XXXX.
Aachenmann: …Did you intend to do this?
Dr. Leslie: That depends on what you mean by "This,". If you mean, "Create an entry into a new dimension," then yes, we did. If you mean accessing your dimension specifically, then no.
Aachenmann laughs.
Aachenmann: You know, you're a lot more open about your whole operation then we are. If I tried to tell you half the stuff you're telling me, the O5s'd make it so I didn't exist!
Dr. Leslie raises an eyebrow.
Dr. Leslie: O5s?
Aachenmann tenses.
Aachenmann: Forget I said that.
Aachenmann laughs.
Achenmann: You know, I can't tell if this is just your standard way of operating or if this is some kind of trick. Speaking of operating, that does beg another question. What do you mean by "Union?"
Dr. Leslie: Well, a more accurate term would be worker co-operative, but I'm sure you're only concerned with structure in this case, given your position as… Site Director, you said?
Aachenmann nods.
Dr. Leslie: In that case, the shortened version is that all operations are done by the voluntary decisions of those under the umbrella of the Union. Everyone has a say in operations they are involved in or that effect them. My position as "Head Researcher," doesn't mean I have any actual power over the others working on [SCP]-XXXX. In our case, "Head Researcher," just means that I'm the outward voice for our projects and studies, and handle acquiring resources.
Dr. Leslie laughs.
Dr. Leslie: Basically, everyone just trusts me enough to let me handle the hard shit. The only reason they do what I ask is that they trust me.
Aachenmann: Interesting. Ms. Leslie, may I ask if we can send an attaché to examine your facility?
Dr. Leslie: I would much prefer if you didn't attach any sort of prefix other than "Dr." to my name, Mr. Aachenmann.
Aachenmann: Oh! My sincere apologies, Dr. Leslie.
Dr. Leslie: That's alright. I'll send out a memo to all staff at Site Hausenheimer. We will have results back within one week. Until then, please feel free to come through and speak with myself or any of the researchers on [SCP]-XXXX at any point.
Aachenmann: Thank you, Dr. Leslie.
<End Log>
Additional Notes: Aachenmann returned to his home dimension without incident. The motion to allow an SCP Foundation attaché to examine Site Hausenheimer passed by a majority vote of 61% of Site personnel.
An attaché from the SCP Foundation entered into Site Hausenheimer on June 3rd, 2022. Said attaché was comprised of the aforementioned Site Director Aachenmann, two foundation doctors, one foundation MTF agent, and one member of the SCP Foundation ethics committee. The attaché remained in the PCS Union dimension for one week. The attaché followed various PCS Union personnel as they performed their daily activities. PCS personnel reported feeling minor discomfort initially, however overall opinion of the experience was positive among Site Hausenheimer staff.
On June 10th, 2022, an interview was conducted between Dr. Leslie and Director Aachenmann prior to Aachenmann's leaving. A log of said interview follows.
Interviewed: Gregory Aachenmann
Interviewer: Dr. Theo Leslie
Note: None.
<Begin Log>
Dr. Leslie: Good evening, Director Aachenmann.
Aachenmann: Evening.
Dr. Leslie: I must say, it will be sad to see you go. Myself and my comrades have grown fond of your company.
Aachenmann laughs.
Aachenmann: Well, hopefully I'll be able to come back. I intend to give a report to my superiors, and I assure you it is glowing.
Dr. Leslie: I'm glad you found our methods satisfactory. Hopefully, your superiors can return the favor and allow us to do the same. I'm sure that co-operation between our organizations would only do good for both of us.
Aachenmann sighs.
Aachenmann: I agree, but I doubt my superiors will. Very… secretive people, them. On that note, what of your superiors? I've seen through my experience here that it's a very bottom-up sort of affair, but you must have someone at the top, right? I've asked this a few times and you've dodged it every time.
Dr. Leslie shakes their head and laughs.
Dr. Leslie: I didn't realize you thought I was dodging your question. So sorry, I must not have been clear enough. There is no-one "At the top," here. Everyone has the same authority to do what they think is best. You might think that's a recipe for disaster, but it is a philosophy that has served us well since 1871.
Aachenmann: But surely someone has to give directives? Someone has to move resources, yes?
Dr. Leslie: Why would we need something like that? When one site needs resources it doesn't have, it simply asks another site that has excess for supply. We have had few cases where the decision made by either site has proven detrimental. And even then, each site knows what's best for them, and what's best for one site typically benefits all of them since it means a job better done.
Aachenmann begins to ask another question, but is cut off by his watch.
Aachenmann: Damn. I apologize, Dr. Leslie, but I am being recalled. I am to return to the Foundation at once. I hope we may continue this conversation at a later date.
Dr. Leslie: It's quite alright. I'll see you soon, Gregory.
<End Log>
Additional Notes: Director Aachenmann returned to the SCP Foundation without incident.
Addendum XXXX.4 - Incident "Foundation,": On June 12th, 2022, it was noticed that construction had begun outside the portal in the Foundation. On June 13th, the entire area surrounding the portal had been blocked by a large wall, after which point no contact could be made with the SCP Foundation until the events of August 23rd, 2024.
From information gathered by PCS Union personnel6, as well as testimony from directly involved SCP Foundation personnel, the most likely theory is that the SCP Foundation mass amnesticized all personnel with any knowledge or involvement with the PCS Union. Transcripts of interviews with doctors Hadrion and Luong, Site Director Aachenmann, MTF Sigma-4 de Santo Domingo, and Emissary Oigan regarding the period of time proceeding June 13th, 2022, can be found below.
Notes from the journal of Dr. Hadrion:
17.06.22
I've been speaking to Dr. Luong more and more lately. None of this shit makes sense, nothing. Luong
says that the entire site got amnesticized. The entire fucking site. That's over two hundred people.
I'm seeing the holes in my memory, we're seeing holes in other people's memories, and my brain is
trying to fill them in, but I see the holes in those fake-ass memories too. Feel like Shia LaBeouf in that
one movie.
21.06.22
Kilroy came back today10. They came back with a rock that gives
you explosive diarrhea if you play the accordion nearby. Technically a memetic, so it got passed off to
me. I just filed it under "Anomalous Object," and threw it in a drawer.
Me and Luong have to have talked to half the damn site by now. It seems like the time period none of
us can remember is the first two weeks of June. What the hell happened then?
The hell's it got to do with that damn wall in the cafeteria?
29.06.22
They built another fucking layer of wall in the cafeteria. I don't know why, none of us do.
Someone new was with Luong. A member of Kilroy, I think her name was de Santez Sanchez
Santo Domingo. Big Hispanic lady, seemed nice enough. Kilroy'd left near the end of May, so she's as
clueless as the rest of us. Apparently though, one of her squadmates got drafted into protecting that
fucking box thing in the cafeteria.
I've put in another request for information about the box… we need a better name for that damn
thing. This has to have been my ninth so far. I'd say I feel sorry for Director Aachenmann, but I really
don't. He hasn't told us jack shit.
The following is a message taken from the personal computer of Site Director Aachenmann as an example of messages sent to the O5 Council of the SCP Foundation.
To: [REDACTED]
From: ten.pics|33nnamnehcaag#ten.pics|33nnamnehcaag
Subject: Site-33 Cafeteria Anomaly
I know I've sent dozens of emails already, but please. I have a stack of complaints taller than me sitting on my desk because of whatever the hell that thing is in the cafeteria. Everything from simple complaints regarding crowding, to furious messages regarding the apparent diversion of resources from various projects. Research teams are being left underfunded, and their guard teams are being left without proper equipment. I'm concerned at the raising probability of a massive containment breach if these problems are not solved. Please respond as fast as possible.
Regards, Site Director Aachenmann.
The following is one of three surviving achieved logs of meetings by the O5 Council. Date unknown, however it is theorized that the following meeting of the Council occurred during July of 2022.
Static. Voices are heard.
O5-1: This meeting of the O5 Council has now officially begun. Sofia, you were the one to request this meeting. You may take the floor.
O5-2: Thank you. I have called this meeting in regards to the situation at site-33.
All members of the Council, likely except for O5-2, begin laughing.
O5-2: I have been receiving upwards of twelve messages a day from Director Aachenmann. It seems clear to me that our efforts to cover up [STATIC] -ve been far too harsh.
O5-6: And I say it hasn't been harsh enough! We allow the children far too much freedom of thought in the foundation! Despite our best efforts, they still have the capacity to complain. What right do they have to complain?
Agreements come from the rest of the Council, excluding O5-2.
O5-2: Please, friends! The Ethics Committee is getting involved, this is seri-
Extremely loud laughter causes static in the recording.
O5-6: And she brings up the ethics committee! Sofia, please. Your little pet committee can't do shit. They'll write a report and forget it. If they don't, we'll make them forget it.
O5-2: Yes, I understand, but the Committee- Internal surveys of Foundation personnel have conclusively shown the Ethics Committee to be the most respected and well-liked institution of the Foundation! If they side against us, even if they can't change anything directly, it will cause significant unrest throughout the rest of the Foundation!
O5-6: Sofia, look. You're newer to this then the rest of us, I get it. It might not have sunk in yet, but these fucks don't pose a threat to us. We are the most powerful group on the planet, we can do whatever we damn well please. Let the Committee write their report, we'll just make a new one. Let there be unrest; we can make it so a site has never existed. We are invincible.
Cheers are heard from the Council. O5-2 is silent.
<End Log>
Notes: Volume of the voices in the audio recording imply that audio was recorded via a device on the person of O5-2.
FILE COLLECTED FROM THE PERSONAL COMPUTER OF EMISSARY OIGAN:
18-07-22
The Committee met today. We've been receiving an ungodly amount of complaints from Site-33, all of them related to some "Box," or walled-off area in the cafeteria. The Committee has decided to send me in to investigate personally. I assume this is due to my status as a new member of the Committee. (I also have mild suspicions of other less… excusable motives, but I have no proof for these.)
I am on-route to Site-33 now. When you travel like I do, the world seems so big, and I seem so small… Germany is so far from Nigeria. I do not trust travel by air, so I travel by land. I will be upon Site-33 by the dawn of next week.
FILE COLLECTED FROM THE PERSONAL COMPUTER OF EMISSARY OIGAN:
26-07-22
Site-33… I can't say I'm particularly impressed with it. Granted, I've only visited two sites in my time with the Foundation; Site-19 was a grand complex, almost a city in and of itself, and Site-01, where the Committee meets. Site-33 is somewhere between the two.
I've begun doing preliminary investigations on the situation at Site-33. I've logged the… box in the cafeteria. Personnel in the Site have begun to refer to it as "SCP-XXXX."
As the reports have said, I can't find any information about it. It's guards know nothing, no personnel know anything. I have attempted to contact the Site Director, but have received no response. According to various personnel, he has not been seen for over two weeks.
I will continue to monitor the situation at Site-33 and continue speaking to its personnel. I have noticed one thing; a strange group of three keeps meeting. I recognize two of them, relatively prominent researchers in the Foundation, but the third I do not recognize. Large, Hispanic woman. Built like a freight train. Wears MTF gear with the logo of an MTF I do not recognize.
I intend to speak with this group in particular tomorrow.
FILE COLLECTED FROM THE PERSONAL COMPUTER OF EMISSARY OIGAN:
27.07.22
What the hell is going on with XXXX?
I spoke with the aforementioned group today. I falsely recognized one of them; the group is consisted of Doctors Malteser Hadrion and Ai Luong, as well as Agent Mary de Santo Domingo of MTF Sigma-4 (The previously mentioned unknown Hispanic woman.)
I asked a few basic questions. They were all too happy to answer them, although I now only have more questions that they can't answer.
I assumed, wrongly, that XXXX was some sort of dangerous memetic hazard. According to Hadrion, this is incredibly unlikely. Furthermore, according to Luong, it's almost certain that the entire 200+ person staff of site-33 was amnesticized. This correlates with my own findings on Site computers. Absolutely no personal logs exist from the first two weeks of June. I confirmed this with the IT Staff; SCP Documentations are as usual, however all non-SCP logs, journal entries, et cetera, while it is shown that they were updated… well, they're just gone. Completely and utterly gone.
Something is very wrong at Site-33, and it all seems to go back to XXXX. The others are planning to directly confront Director Aachenmann. I intend to join them.
THE FOLLOWING IS A WRITTEN TRANSCRIPT OF VIDEO FOOTAGE TAKEN FROM SCP FOUNDATION SITE-33:
17:31: Footage shows a dark room. The floor is covered in papers. The only light source is a computer screen.
17:32: Knocking is heard from a door off-camera.
17:32: Dr. Hadrion: Aachenmann! We know you're in there, we demand a meeting!
17:34: Movement can be heard off-camera. The sound of crying is heard interrupted by vomiting.
17:35: Dr. Luong: Director, please. You haven't left your office for two weeks, this is as much a welfare check as it is anything else!
17:35: Silence. Crying can be heard off-camera.
17:36: Muffled conversation can be heard outside.
17:36: Dr. Luong: I know that we came here to confront him, but this is genuinely concerning.
17:36: Oigan: Agreed. If he hasn't eaten for a few weeks, he may be in need of serious medical intervention.
17:37: Dr. Luong: I think the same. But how are we going to get in? His door is locked.
17:37: Dr. Hadrion: I may have an idea.
17:37: Unintelligible conversation from outside.
17:40: Several: Three… two… one…
17:41: //The off-camera door is broken open. Mary de Santo Domingo is seen sprinting through before stopping in front of a desk. She is quickly followed by Doctors Hadrion and Luong as well as Oigan.
17:41: Dr. Hadrion: …what the fuck? Why is it so dark in here?
17:42: de Santo Domingo: And what is that smell? Where's the director?
17:42: Dr. Luong steps into focus before pointing to something off-camera.
17:43: Dr. Luong: Director Aachenmann! What happened?
17:44: de Santo Domingo closes the door to Aachenmann's office. Doctors Hadrion and Luong are seen carrying Director Aachenmann to his desk. Director Aachenmann carries a trash can with him, which he vomits into.
17:44: Director Aachenmann: T-too much. It's too much!
17:45: Dr. Hadrion: What? Too much funding put to that bullshit in the cafeteria?
17:45: de Santo Domingo slaps Dr. Hadrion.
17:45: Director Aachenmann: Everything! Everything everything everything! All of these complaints, why why why why why!
17:46: Dr. Luong: Director, please, calm yourself. That's what we came to talk about, okay?
17:46: Director Aachenmann resumes crying.
17:47: Director Aachenmann: I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry…
17:47: Dr. Luong: Director, please calm yourself, you're speaking nonsense!
17:47: Director Aachenmann attempts to say something, but it is garbled.
17:48: Dr. Luong: Director, can you at least tell us what's wrong?
17:50: Director Aachenmann cries for roughly two more minutes and vomits once, but eventually manages to compose himself.
17:51: Director Aachenman: A-all these notes… all these complaints, I just… I just, it's not my fault, but- but everyone thinks it is and now everyone hates me and-
17:51: Doctor Hadrion: Wait, you're telling me that you weren't the one who put up that damn wall in the cafeteria or ordered the whole site wiped?
17:52: Director Aachenmann: W-Wiped? What do you mean, "Wiped?"
17:53: Dr. Luong: Director… it seems the entire site was amnesticized recently. Were you really unaware of this?
17:53: Director Aachenmann begins to steady himself and sit upright in his chair.
17:54: Director Aachenmann: Those… those fucks. They're trying to hide something.
17:55: Doctor Hadrion: "They?"
17:56: Director Aachenmann: "They,"… the door is closed, yes?
17:56: de Santo Domingo: Yes! Uh, yes sir.
17:56: Director Aachenmann sighs.
17:56: Director Aachenmann: The O5 Council. I'm sure you've heard of it, doctors, but for you two… I'm sorry, what are your names?
17:57: de Santo Domingo: Oh! I, uh, I'm Mary de Santo Domingo! Member of MTF Sigma-4!
17:57: Oigan: And I am Monika Oigan, member of the Ethics Committee. I know of the O5 Council.
17:57: Director Aachenmann: Thank you. Alright. Okay. To put it simply, everything; the sudden erection of the walls in the cafeteria, the mass redirection of resources, all of it has come directly from the O5 Council.
17:57: Doctor Hadrion: And we should believe that why? Don't you have utter control here?
17:58: Doctor Luong slaps Doctor Hadrion.
17:58: Doctor Luong: What is wrong with you, Hadrion!?
17:59: Doctors Hadrion and Luong argue in the background.
17:59: de Santo Domingo: Um, sir? May I ask what the O5 Council is?
17:59: Director Aachenmann: Oh! My apologies. The O5 Council is the governing body of the Foundation. They are the ones who give out the orders that we have to follow, that take precedent over everything else.
18:00: de Santo Domingo: And… they're the one's giving the orders behind this whole mess?
18:00: Director Aachenmann: In short, yes. I've been writing to them several times a day, every day up until… this.
18:00: Director Aachenmann gestures around himself at the room. He suddenly looks disgusted.
18:01: Director Aachenmann: We can… everyone!
18:01: All persons in the room face Director Aachenmann.
18:01: Director Aachenmann: Please return here tomorrow. I'll explain everything I know then, but… I need to clean. Desperately.
18:02: Doctor Hadrion moves towards Director Aachenmann, but stops after Doctor Luong glares at him. All people excluding Director Aachenmann leave the room silently.
Notes from the Journal of Doctor Hadrion:
21.08.22
Luong made me apologize to Aachenmann today. We met up with him again. I wasn't happy about it but, I did want to.
I hate acting like this, I really do.
But, I doubt you care much about that, o all-knowing journal, so I'll cut to the case: Shit's fucked.
Shit's royally fucked. This whole goddamn thing is the work of the fucking O5 Council. We don't know
what the fuck is going on, but if the fucking O5's are the ones orchestrating the whole thing?
Then we're utterly, categorically, physically, metaphorically, metaphysically fucked if we're found
out.
22.08.22
All five of us met in the cafeteria today. We needed to talk. I mean… what the fuck are we doing?
Are we seriously going to risk our lives or worse on some fucking box thing (Which is still getting
bigger, I might add!) going up against the O5 Council?
Short answer?
Yes. Abso-fuckin'-lutely yes. We didn't join the Foundation because we were afraid of death, we didn't
join the Foundation to kowtow to some cabal of asshats at Site-01! We joined the Foundation to help
humanity! We joined the Foundation to learn the unlearnable, know the unknowable, think the
unthinkable! I know I couldn't forgive myself if I just bent over. I don't think everyone else could
either.
Notes from the Journal of Doctor Luong:
August Twenty-Fifth, Two-Thousand-Twenty-Two.
I've begun a Journal, starting today at Hadrion's insistence. He says that if everything fails, then at
least we leave something behind. I can't say he's wrong.
Yesterday, myself, Hadrion, de Santo Domingo, Oigan, and Director Aachenmann met in the cafeteria.
We all agreed that whatever was going on, that it was our duty to figure it out. Myself and Hadrion,
we believe it to be our duty as researchers not to let this go uninvestigated, to go unknown,
unstudied. De Santo Domingo, she is doing it out of a sense of righteousness. I do understand why
she thinks that way. (Her personnel file mentioned that she was born and raised in Chiapas.) Oigan is
doing it for her morals. She joined the ethics committee due to her opinions on the mistreatment of
D-Class. She sees this as an extension of Foundation abuse. The Director is doing it out of rage. It
seems he views the site and it's personnel as his responsibility, and the gross mistreatment of
personnel as the utmost betrayal by the Council.
We divided roles between ourselves for our investigation. De Santo Domingo, Oigan, Aachenmann,
and Hadrion will all begin asking their respective colleagues what they know of the Council. I will look
into the mass amnesticization of Site-33, as well as attempt to directly learn more of SCP-XXXX.
