Assigned Site Site Director Research Head Assigned Task Force
CAORDA Site-89 Charles B. Hollender Zofia Kalt AMTF Titan-3 "Bloody Third"

Special Containment Procedures: Armed Mobile Task Force Titan-3 ("Bloody Third") are to maintain a perimeter of one kilometer from the entrance to SCP-6706-Alpha. Under no circumstances are SCP-6706-2 instances permitted to exit this area and if the perimeter is breached, use of Mobile Task Force Titan-1 ("Off the Books") is permitted. If SCP-6706-2 instances breach into a foundation site, Mobile Task Force Epsilon-11 ("Nine-Tailed Fox") and Mobile Task Force Epsilon-9 ("Fire Eaters") are to enter the site and terminate all SCP-6706-2 entities. If AMTF Titan-3 is terminated or forced to retreat, Armed Mobile Task Force Nu-7 ("Hammer Down") is to engage the SCP-6706 instances until AMTF Titan-3 is fit for combat.

If a foundation site is breached by SCP-6706-2 instances, 64-KALT PROZ PROTOCOL "Boiler Room" is to be enacted by the site director, assistant director, and project head. Detonation of the on-site nuclear warheads is to be used as a last resort unless other containment procedures conflict with PROTOCOL "Meatgrinder" or the assigned Mobile Task Forces fail to re-contain the facility.

Description: SCP-6706 is the collective group of root-like soldiers, a vertical shaft 50 meters deep beneath the ground in Orinda, California, and the garden that lies at the bottom, producing the SCP-6706-2 instances.

SCP-6706-2 instances appear as thick roots grown into the shape of a male human or female human and possess swords, shields, and spears all made of root growths grown out of the SCP-6706-2 subject. If SCP-6706-2 instances capture an area, large root-like growths will appear from the ground, covering most floor space within the room. It is currently theorized that the more SCP-6706 spreads, the stronger it becomes. 64-KALT PROZ PROTOCOL "Boiler Room"

The garden located within SCP-6706-Alpha is 65 meters in diameter and is capable of producing dozens of subjects within minutes. It appears that SCP-6706 is beginning to weaken, as drone footage reveals the garden beginning to wither. It is theorized that this is due to the constant production of SCP-6706-2 instances although not confirmed.

Addendum-6706-1: 64-KALT PROZ PROTOCOL "Boiler Room"

64-KALT%20PROZ.2.png

Preface: 64-KALT PROZ PROTOCOL "Boiler Room" was developed on ██/██/20██ by Director Charles Hollender, Assistant Director Lorem, Project Head Zofia Kalt, and Dr. Sam Strass. PROTOCOL "Boiler Room" was developed in response to the attack by SCP-6706-2 instances and the spread of the SCP-6706 growths throughout Armed Reliquary Area-CH-1, located under Black Hills, California. After the rescue mission into Reliquary Area-CH-1 failed, and all operatives were terminated, immediate action was taken to prevent further loss of foundation facilities.

Abstract: This temporary protocol has been created to prevent further loss of life and foundation property.

Protocol Information: 64-KALT PROZ PROTOCOL was developed by Project Head Zofia Kalt to prune and weaken SCP-6706 from expanding and becoming stronger.

  • Eight operatives of Mobile Task Force Epsilon-9 ("Fire Eaters")
  • 16 operatives of Mobile Task Force Epsilon-11 ("Nine-Tailed Fox")
  • Eight F-10 Flamethrowers
  • 20 Incendiary Grenades

The spread of SCP-6706 marks a disaster for the Foundation and surrounding areas. This cannot be allowed to continue. We cannot allow this pest to attack us. The damage sustained in sites is not enough to detonate the warheads, however, we can rid the sites of the SCP-6706 growths. The briefing of 64-KALT PROZ PROTOCOL is listed below:

  • Two teams of 121 are to enter the facility and move to the rear of the building.
  • Task force agents will slowly move back through the facility, igniting each room unit by unit.
  • Operatives exit the facility and lock the entrance for approximately 12 hours.

Discovery: SCP-6706 was first discovered on ██/██/20██ as several hundred instances of SCP-6706-2 attacked Reliquary Site-90-1 and terminated 96% of personnel. A total of ███ staff were terminated and 12 persons escaped to Site-90, 18 kilometers away. Mobile Task Force Epsilon-11 ("Nine-Tailed Fox") and Mobile Task Force Titan-1 ("Off the Books") were deployed to Reliquary Site-90-1 and terminated 70% of instances before they retreated. Mobile Task Force Zeta-6 ("Midnight Trackers") were deployed to track the instances and Anvil-12 was deployed to investigate the structure the instances retreated to. An audio log is listed below.
