New and Unexpected Problems
rating: 0+x

O5-1
1 was worried. This in itself was a rare occurrence but why it was being prompted was rarer. Somehow through anomalous causes or not humanity had gone under foundation radar and invented FTL. This, however, was not the main reason for O5-1's worry that was, in fact, the belief that the veil protocol had been breached and was no longer in place. To try and quickly gain control of the spread of this information he called O5-3 to quickly set up a council meeting with hopefully all the members.

O5-2
2 had been busy at the time of the news and found out too late to try and gain control of the situation in his local area. Just 3 minutes later his video monitor started responding to the power-up signal from Site-01 in the hope that it could hold a council meeting.

O5-3
3 after receiving the call from O5-1 was starting to rush around Site-01 to prepare the council chambers for the emergency discussions and many votes that would take place following the start of the fix to prevent a broken masquerade scenario. He finally after briefing the Site on the matter at hand quickly took his seat at the table of the council and prepared to start the video call for all the members that couldn't reach the chambers.

O5-4
4 had heard the news and was busy trying to organize MTF's and disinformation assets to gain control and deny the existence of FTL travel. A short while after he started trying to dissuade information on the topic the video monitor started to power up signifying a council meeting.

O5-5
5 opened the door to the council room and hurridly took his seat alongside O5-3. "Morning 1," he said trying to keep a clear mind on the problems he had at hand.

O5-6
6 woke up in the middle of the night to his phone ringing, which was odd considering that only two people had his number and there was nothing major he thought they would need him for now. As he flicked it open to check the message he saw the first part only and jumped out of bed quicker than many thought a human could and ran out of his quarters down the hall towards the council chambers. This left his phone turned on lying on his bed with the text "Potential Broken Masquerade, FTL invented," facing towards the ceiling.

O5-7
7 was quickly checking lists upon lists of her informants looking for any clue of the development of FTL that she had potentially overlooked in her summary reports or missed details that could have related to it. Having decided that it was not a fault of her intelligence gathering. She prepared to turn on her monitor and address the council about her findings.

O5-8
8 had been on his way to Site-08 with his factorums when the alert went out and immediately turned around and started speeding back to Site-01 to attend the meeting from the council chambers. He arrived with a greeting to 3 and 5 and quickly took his seat before getting his things into order and preparing for the coming meeting.

O5-9
9 watching one of his pet projects when his factorum came for him. He walked calmly from the room and down the stairs towards, his study to accept the video call and decide on what to do with the situation they found themselves in.

O5-10
10 had known this was coming, The archivist was the only one to know everything that had happened in the other universes, and this time he was going to act accordingly and vote right to stop the activation of the bloom. He calmly walked down the stairs towards the council chambers giving out a few orders to prepare his decision upon the matter.

O5-11
11 was up late writing a dossier for the ethics committee to review and decide on new procedures for several humanoid SCP's. When the alert came through the intercom she quickly put on some clothes and walked to the chamber since her study was so close to it.

O5-12
12 was inspecting Site-19 though none of the people around him apart from 2 members of MTF Alpha-1 "Red right hand" new that, after being informed about the impending problem he quickly took control of one of the many on-site theatres and motioned for the MTF Alpha-1 members to guard the doors and not let anyone in.

O5-13
13 had already been informed by ten and was sitting in the chamber just around the corner watching as 3, 5, 8, 10 and 11 entered all in different stages of panic. She walked forward slowly before claiming her seat at the table and waiting for ten's proposition.

O5-14/O5-15
As the video monitors were connecting to the council chamber, O5-1 started to prepare his speech about the current situation that the Foundation found itself in. Just as 1 was about to start his planned speech 10 shook his head signalling to 1 that he would like to start the meeting himself.

"You should all know why we are gathered here and what the current problems facing us are, however for the record I will repeat the reasons for this emergency meeting, Humanity has somehow through anomalous means or not developed FTL travel capable of escaping the Solar system and being repeated, this represents a threat to the survival of the veil protocol and the foundations, ability to contain the anomalous and protect humanity from the dangers presented by the anomalous. We are gathered here today to decide what to do with the potential loss of the veil protocol and dangers presented to humanity by the invention of reusable FTL travel."

After 10 had concluded his speech 1 began the formal process of the council. "First of thank you Ten, now with the situation that we are presented with does anyone have any propositions that we can vote upon?"

2 immediately spoke up "I would like to lay the proposition of breaking the veil and revealing the foundation to all of the human race to better protect them and have more of a hand in securing the anomalous and stopping knowledge about it from spreading."

10 listened in the full to 2's proposal before speaking up "I would like to counter 2's proposal and offer that we maintain the veil protocol and set up a site alongside any major FTL ships that are set to leave the system so that we can still contain the anomalous and protect humanity while not limiting the growth and improvement of technology."

A period of five minutes passes with no other proposals put forward.

"I believe it is time that we vote on 2 and 10's proposals," said 1
