At least you won’t know it’s a Thaumiel if you do. Unless you become an O5 council member, you’ll likely never see a Thaumiel class SCP in your entire career. Due to the nature of the anomaly, nothing else can be written about it. Keters are creepier to work on when they’re classified that way because of the extreme scarcity of info we have on them. Keter class anomalies can’t be contained reliably and/or have containment procedures that are too complex to perform easily. Should you get assigned to Site-19 1993, bring eye drops and remember to tell a coworker when you’re going to blink. SCP-173 is tagged as object class Euclid since it has a bad habit of teleporting away and breaking people’s necks when they aren’t looking directly at it. Most SCPs fall under this SCP class especially if they show signs of sentience or sapience. EuclidĮuclid classed SCPs are harder to contain either because it takes more work to do so or containment procedures aren’t refined enough to rule out the possibility that the anomaly will perform an unpredicted behavior. It looks weird and it takes time to get used to, but it’s basically the Foundation’s dog. If you see a large orange slime creature walking around the office building, it’s Safe so don’t be alarmed. These anomalies tend to be non-sentient as well or, at least, non-hostile towards humans which lowers the risk that they’ll try to escape. Most of the time, an SCP is classified as Safe because we know enough about it that containing it doesn’t take a lot of work on or resources for us. It does not mean that the object itself is safe.

Safe means easily contained in the SCP classes system. But if you can’t fit it into a Thaumiel anomaly and it’s about to cause the next apocalypse, it’s Apollyon. Thaumiel is trickier but the gist is that if it is the box, meaning you can use it to contain another SCP, then you can classify an anomaly under it. If we leave it unmonitored and it easily escapes, it’s Keter. If we aren’t sure what it will do if we left it unattended, it’s Euclid. If it fits in the box and we lock it, can we leave it alone without anything bad happening? If the answer is yes, an object is Safe. Now, conjure up a hypothetical SCP in your head that we can put there. Don’t worry about the size, just imagine that you have one and it can be locked. When we classify anomalies, we categorize them by how easy they are to contain. Those ones end up dead in a week because they don’t understand that SCP classifications aren’t based on how dangerous an anomaly is. We get a lot of researchers who snigger at the Locked Box method of classifying an SCP. The Locked Box Test: How SCP Classes Are Determined To do that, you need to know the ins and outs of the SCP classes, how they’re classified, and why we choose to categorize them into a particular object class. The rest are the ones we can’t contain, the ones we haven’t found.Īs a researcher, your job is to classify the anomalies that field agents find. The creatures kept in containment by the SCP Foundation are some of the greatest threats to mankind’s continued existence. If you happen to be lacking in common sense, like the researcher you replaced, that congratulations is going to turn into a condolence for your family soon. The fact that you’re here means you’re one of the best of the best. It takes someone with serious credentials to even be considered for the role. To whoever is reading this, congratulations on becoming part of the SCP Foundation. The new Anomaly Classificiation System further classifies anomalies on the basis of how risky they are and how easy they are to neutralize.

It classifies anomalies into a range of primary object classes, but there are also some non-standard classes you need to know about.The locked box test is used to determine SCP classes, on the basis of how easy they are to contain.
