//------------------------------// // *Classified* // Story: SCP Equestria // by Little Solarflare //------------------------------// Authors Note: This story is based off the SCP foundation which I had originally browsed after being entertained by Pewdiepie's videos (An awesome horror game commentator on youtube). After being entertained by the site for a few hours I thought "Hey, what if there was a similar organisation inside Equestria?", and thus it ended with this. This is not intended to be exactly like the foundation, rather a ponified version of it. Therefore to any members of the SCP foundation, this is Not SCP as you know it, rather an organisation set up by Celestia in Equestria. There are no humans in this, and this story is NOT a crossover. All terms which you are so familiar with such as 'Euclid' 'Keter' and personnel classifications such as 'Class D' do not exist in this story (I personally dont think Celestia would approve of using criminals -if there were any- as involuntary test subjects). This is instead something completely new which my coffee induced imagination has conjured up. Im sorry to those who have no idea what I am talking about. But to delay you no longer with my ranting, please enjoy the story. Little Solarflare _________________________________________________________________________________ Classified The following information is ‘eyes only’ To Lieutenant Groundshaker You have been selected to be part of SCP Facility- 13043 To have been chosen to by this organisation means you are amongst the best at what you do, be it a researcher, guard or caster. This means you are the top 0.5% of all candidates whom were monitored by Celestia, the Royal guard and the Royal Canterlot Scientific Community. Simply, you were born special. You were born the best. What will be revealed to you know is classified information. Any leakage of this intel will lead us to track you down, followed by a complete memory wipe as well as disacknowledgement of any correlation between you and any previous time of you inside the organisation. _______________________________________________________________________ Dear Lieutenant Groundshaker; We are pleased to announce that Her Royal Majesty Celestia, Regent of the sun, Co-ruler of Equestria etc. Has judged you personally and seen you fit to be part of the SCP Foundation. This foundation is aimed at protecting the citizens of Equestria from horrors and threats which the average citizen should never know the existence of. A handful of individuals such as yourself are chosen for your strengths be it combat prowess, research skills or magical talent. However your colleagues and yourself all possess one attribute which virtually exists in no other living being. Your intuition. All selected members have displayed an ability to make vital split second decisions whilst under extreme pressure. An attribute which is vital for the operations within SCP-13043, and in case of a breach, your very survival. This particular facility deals with the research of the unknown and ancient. As the role of a security officer, you are to ensure the safety of all scientific personnel before yourself. You will be required to be armed and alert at all times, and if need, to be able to initiate a containment protocol in a moment’s notice. You will be briefed and covered with greater detail once you enter the compound. The facility will provide you with all necessary comforts whilst you are employed with us. Should you experience any illness or homesickness during your time in the facility, please report to the medical centre ASAP. Should you be deemed physically or mentally unfit after your routine checks, you will be subject to a memory replacement and sent back to your original occupation, although you will be compensated by our organisation. If you wish to become a permanent employee, you will be subjected to further testing and judged by your performance. If you should choose to work with us, at the bottom of the letter is a pill. Swallow it at the end of the letter. If you have decided to continue with your life as it is. Do nothing for one minute. You will remember nothing and can continue living your life normally. Choose wisely, for we only offer this opportunity once. SCP facility- 13034 What is SCP? This is a precautionary protocol set down by Celestia. The protocol stated to form an organisation of the strong-willed and strong-minded who can be entrusted with the task of preventing the horrors of the past to ever reach the general populations. The land is not as innocent and carefree as it seems, with many ancient and bizarre artifacts hidden away from under the land which even Celestia herself has no knowledge of. It is the responsibility of the members of the SCP to contain and study these ‘artifacts’ and to determine whether it could be incorporated as an asset to society, or deem it too dangerous to exist. These artifacts are to be kept away from public knowledge until they are deemed safe. Any artifacts destroyed will be stored in the archives of Starswirl the Bearded, and the knowledge permitted to only a select few. Artifact classification Artifacts can be either in the form of sentient life, or a totem permeating miniscule energy spikes. There are several levels to be classified, either on the side of benign or malignant. Benign Tau Artifacts under this category have been proven to be of medicinal value or have displayed a healing or calming effect to those within it’s proximity. If proven safe and manageable, it is recommended that these be placed immediately within hospitals around Equestria and if possible, duplicated. Sigma These artifacts have shown to be reactive to magic, enhancing the wearer or the user within the artifacts vicinity. These are to be placed in Canterlot University or other areas which require high levels of magic use. Rho These artifacts have proven to be neutral, being neither harmful nor beneficial. They are instead to be placed in the Canterlot museum or archives so that archaeologists may properly study them. Malignant Theta Theta level artifacts are harmful, or their original purpose was to cause harm. They however not dangerous unless meddled with. These are often in the form of ancient weapons found around the areas of the gates of Tartarus, the catacombs of Canterlot or in rare cases, scattered around Equestria. If such items are found, they are to be immediately secured by any means and brought before a SCP official or handed over to the ███████ Kappa Kappa level artifacts are those which cause strange discordant effects to those around the item, known to drive ponies to insanity. Prolonged exposure to these items are potentially harmful, and in extreme cases, lethal. Guards protecting these artifacts must be subject to a daily psychological test as well as work in 3 hour shifts at maximum. If found outside of facility, do NOT approach the artifact, rather contain the area the artifact and report it. A specialist containment squad would then be dispatched to deal with such a threat. Should you have no means of contacting us, find every possible mean to destroy such the artifact. Beta Beta level artifacts are sentient. They could either be the form of a living creature, or an animate object. These are only physical threats and should be able to be dealt with minimal casualty, although one should use extreme caution when approaching. Should it be difficult, activate the beacon within your armour and a squad of guardsmen will be sent your way. Alpha- Magic threats. These are threats which only the strongest of casters or a regiment of guards should be allowed to deal with. Avoid all contact with this creature if possible, and escape. Immediately report to ███████ if discovered Omega Do not even attempt to apprehend this artifact on your own. Immediate emergency protocols should instead be implemented, and the elements of harmony or the Princesses should be contacted. Threats on this level are nothing less than a total national emergency. If you are curious to know what could possibly be this dangerous, look no further than the Discord incident from the previous year. The Facility Unfortunately you have not yet reached the position of a permanent employee within our organisation and we cannot disclose the location of SCP facility-13043 to you. However what we can tell you is that you will be located deep underground. Artificial sunlight will be provided at the courtesy of our organisation. The facility will have necessary living space and creature comforts provided, such as a gym, lighting, fresh water and medical supplies and doctors. There will be a daily edition of the “Equestrian Times” delivered so you can keep in touch with society as you work below, although you can specifically ask for any text or book you desire to read. There are three main components of the facility you will need to know about. Green Zone. This is the living quarters where you will be staying and resting during your time here with us. This is where the gym, Cafeteria, hospital and other recreational facilities are located. This is also located closest to the surface, if any trouble occurs, there are elevators which operate 24 hours to bring you back, however please note that clearance and a good reason would be required. Blue Zone This is where most of the work occurs. The armoury, the labs and the containment fields are all located here. The only ways in and out of this area is through a 6 meter long adamantium door which is 2 metres thick, or the maintenance hatches. Should any breach occur, this door will shut, effectively containing any danger or artifact within. Red Zone These are the maintenance tunnels. Only qualified engineers are allowed in and out of these passageways. Should anypony find themselves lost inside, follow the green sun stones and you will be directed back up into the green level facility, behind the hospital. Know your colleagues: Different personnel are assigned different roles, they were be uniformed according to such. Medical Staff: White cloaks with a red hoof imprinted on side. Research Staff: White cloaks with Blue hoof Maintenance: hard hat and red vest Security team: They will be identical to the royal guard. Facility personnel (i.e cooks/ cleaners): nametags +blue vest That is all that you will need to need for now. Welcome Lieutenant Groundshaker. If you wish to join us, now swallow the pill. If you have read this letter and wish not to join us, fold the letter. We hope you make the right choice.
