Good evening, Director.

I have been paying attention to you and your department's efforts of trying to contain GoI-6183. I understand it's not that simple, and despite that, you still continue to adhere to the Foundation's principles.

Which is why I am assigning you to a project that might help you with that. Everything you need to know is in this file.

sub-project#15839

You have until tomorrow to respond. Don't keep me waiting.

O5-8,
Overseer of Foundation Projects and Development.

ADDENDUM 8747/1: Contextual Information.


Recruitment Letter


Humans have evolved since the dawn of humanity. The range and scope of our cognitive function and capabilities spans across the multiverse. From what was once a little spec, now to the warden who seals the anomalous, we are the dominant species who reign supreme across the globe thanks to the advancement of our species.

One of these advancements were the creation of technology; an irreplaceable aspect that runs within the heart and lungs of the Foundation. Prior to its creation, any rumor someone made about a video game or incident would be called an "Urban Legend" because nobody would be able to verify if the rumor was true, or not. Today, finding out the answer would be a simple Google search on your phone. Of course, this advancement has birthed more progressive and complex anomalies. Such anomalies can be invaluable to our goals, others would be laughable, or even change how the world could function.

Regardless of their nature, the core directive of our Foundation hasn't altered; the question is, what's the best way to respond to these anomalies? Contain, study, supress information, and above all, protect humanity from their existence. While these containment procedures yielded successful results, they do not, however, develop the complete cessation of further and current digital anomalies, as the Foundation possess no feasible method for that field of action.

This is where you come in; whoever you are, you know you've been an invaluable member the research and advancement of Foundation technology. Our objective is to manipulate digital anomalies on a conceptual level, and you are here to help with that goal. We are not just looking for people who have an answer to the unknown and work with what they do not understand. We're looking for those to who can shape the capabilities of what the Foundation can do, and inspire others to achieve the same.

Welcome to Project Cybersphere.

Roseanne Thatcher,
Director of Containment,
Site-19.







ADDENDUM 8747/2: Containment/Decommision Attempts.

FOREWORD: Due to the aftereffects of O5-8's actions, containment projects relating to SCP-8474 must be approved by the O5 Council. All personnel, regardless of clearance and position, are welcome to provide their own proposals. Please note, many proposals have been omitted for brevity.


PROPOSAL: Intentionally sever association with SCP-8747 within the Cybersphere via ontokinetic anomaly. (SCP-239)

COUNCIL VOTE SUMMARY: APPROVED (6-4-2)

RESULTS: Upon Overseer order, SCP-239 was allowed to be awoken from her medically induced coma. SCP-239 was then clarified about a "giant monster" affecting central computers, and was provided a brief description, casual description of SCP-8747 and -A. She was then instructed both anomalies to be erased from existence and non-Foundation lifeforms to lose recall of said anomalies.

SCP-239 commanded the anomaly to be removed from existence, only for Foundation staff to report no noticeable changes from computerized systems6. Civilian populations and Groups of Interest worldwide lacked recall regarding SCP-8747, only for the anomaly to be reported shortly after. This, however, has temporarily lessened Foundation resources in concealing the veil.

SCP-239 was re-contained shortly after.


PROPOSAL: Engineer a machine capable of severing connections between our reality and the Cybersphere, thus invalidating SCP-8747's effects.

COUNCIL VOTE SUMMARY: DENIED (4-8-0)

RESULTS: N/A

Even if this machine worked as intended, it would render all digital systems useless worldwide as we are too dependent on the Cybersphere's existence, hindering Foundation operations significantly. AIAD, IT, and relevant staff required for developing and maintaining Foundation technology would be rendered obsolete. Finally, civilian populations are highly likely to believe anomalous phenomenon should all digital systems become dysfunctional. - O5-3


[30 PROPOSALS OMITTED]


PROPOSAL: Establish contact or influence a hypernarrative entity to contain/decommission SCP-8747.

COUNCIL VOTE SUMMARY: APPROVED (10-2-0)

RESULTS: Five minutes following deployment of a specialized memetic agent into a medium containing high-energy narrative structures, O5-1 received a verified email from a SWN-001 entity, reading, "Do you guys ever learn from your mistakes?"

No further communication was received.


PROPOSAL: Create an ontokinetic eigenweapon, capable of encapsulating SCP-8747-A in a dome-like medium, suppressing it's effects and potentially eradicating SCP-8747.

COUNCIL VOTE SUMMARY: APPROVED (8-2-2)

RESULTS: The proposed eigenweapon was created and PROJECT CYBERPSHERE staff confirmed it's intended, functional use of encapsulating SCP-8747-A; however, it was later discovered the capsule had no effect of suppressing it's effect. 20 minutes following usage, the capsule housing SCP-8747-A began to "corrupt" and 1 minute later, SCP-8747-A's size has increased by approximately 5km in diameter. Reports of more digital systems rendered inoperable were followed.

Future similar proposals will not be accepted.


[130 PROPOSALS OMITTED]


PROPOSAL: One D-Class is to be surgically implanted with a Cognitive Adapter within their cerebellum. He is then to be provided false information of SCP-8747-A and directed into AO-8747's subconscious transfer device. From there, he is instructed to traverse to SCP-8747-A and vocalize infohazardous data of ●●|●●●●●|●●|●, theoretically inducing a hostile attack onto it's position.

COUNCIL VOTE SUMMARY: DENIED (2-9-1)

RESULTS: N/A

While a creative theory, it is likely that ●●|●●●●●|●●|● will not attack SCP-8747-A itself, and instead attack the D-Class. Furthermore, there is even the possibility that ●●|●●●●●|●●|● will be virulent towards AO-8747's structure, which cannot be allowed as it is one of the few methods the Foundation possess of accessing the Cybersphere. - O5-7






COUNCIL VOTE-8747-24


PROPOSAL: Based on evidence gathered, security footage, and testimonies of PROJECT CYBERSPHERE staff, it is the opinion of the O5 Council that O5-8 has majorly violated extensive Foundation policies, specifically those detailing Foundation project management and safety requirements, which led to the formation of an EKHI-Class anomaly, resulting in the containment breach of over 1,000 digital anomalies and near collapse of the veil. As such, the O5 Council has deemed O5-8 to be unfit for an Overseer role and must be preemptively replaced. Below contains a summarized vote regarding O5-8's position.

NOTE: As the vote is directed towards a Foundation Overseer, O5-8's vote will not be considered.

COUNCIL VOTE SUMMARY:
YAY NAY ABSTAIN
O5-1
O5-2
O5-3
O5-4
O5-5
O5-6
O5-7
O5-9
O5-10
O5-11
O5-12
O5-13

STATUS
APPROVED

RESULTS: Despite attempted negotiations, O5-8 failed to appeal his removal and demotion to the Ethics Committee. O5-8 will not be allowed to return to Overseer status, regardless of his contribution and improvement prior to D-Class demotion. During afterward discussions following the Council vote, O5-8 recommend the Foundation approve of Dir. Roseanne's proposal.



COUNCIL VOTE-8747-25


PROPOSAL: Invest resources, time, and maintenance into reprogramming AO-8747 to contain SCP-8747.

COUNCIL VOTE SUMMARY:
YAY NAY ABSTAIN
O5-1 O5-5 O5-10
O5-2 O5-6 O5-11
O5-3 O5-7 O5-12
O5-4 O5-9
O5-13

STATUS
APPROVED

ADDENDUM 8747/3: Final Report.


INTENT: Eradicate SCP-8747-A's current nature, thereby neutralizing the anomaly, and anomalously repair its sector to pre-SCP-8747-A status. This requires re-engineering of AO-8747's mechanics and functionality, whilst omitting usage of human sub-conscious transfer.

HYPOTHESIS: By eradicating SCP-8747-A, and repairing its sector within the Cybersphere, SCP-8747's effects will be invalidated. Though while this is a hypothesis, the accurate outcome of SCP-8747-A's eradication is uncertain; therefore, all IT, technical, and AIAD personnel must commence preparations for misplaced scenarios by this attempt.

RESULTS: Decommission attempt successful; Foundation computerized systems are now able to successfully overwrite undesired data prior to SCP-8747's effects. Furthermore, future Foundation projects involving manipulation of the Cybersphere has been indefinitely suspended, with the exception of unanimous approval by the O5 Council.

SCP-8747 is pending reclassification to NEUTRALIZED by the Classification Committee.
