PROFILE.

Driven and enthusiastic, [𝐺𝐴𝑅𝐷𝐸𝑁 𝑉𝐴𝑅𝐼𝐸𝑇𝑌]’s promising career with the Foundation has become rather turbulent in the last few months. Originally scouted by Ex-Head of Containment at Site-120, Dr. Adam Barclay, from the population of Nx-33, “Inverness-shire,” Scotland, [𝐺𝐴𝑅𝐷𝐸𝑁 𝑉𝐴𝑅𝐼𝐸𝑇𝑌] showed potential that was hard to dismiss. In the years after their recruitment, [𝐺𝐴𝑅𝐷𝐸𝑁 𝑉𝐴𝑅𝐼𝐸𝑇𝑌] quickly impressed senior staff members at Site-120 with their innovative containment procedures and patents. Although their research was unorthodox, these groundbreaking experiments reached them the position of a Lead Researcher at Site-120 — a standing significantly higher than their former mentor, Dr. Barclay. Perhaps this led Barclay into the arms of the Group of Interest known as The Hive. The exact series of events that lead to Barclay’s betrayal seven years ago are still unclear, as are his present whereabouts and intentions. While investigating the scandal, the Foundation demoted [𝐺𝐴𝑅𝐷𝐸𝑁 𝑉𝐴𝑅𝐼𝐸𝑇𝑌] to Assistant Researcher, but outside of that mentorship, the internal investigation did not uncover any direct link between [𝐺𝐴𝑅𝐷𝐸𝑁 𝑉𝐴𝑅𝐼𝐸𝑇𝑌] and the Hive. Since seven years ago, they have remained Assistant Researcher, the ties to Barclay's expulsion a lingering presence in their Foundation career. However, the Committee believes it may be time again for [𝐺𝐴𝑅𝐷𝐸𝑁 𝑉𝐴𝑅𝐼𝐸𝑇𝑌] to rise. Under the care of [𝑅𝐸𝑉𝐸𝑅𝑆𝐸 𝐸𝑁𝐺𝐼𝑁𝐸𝐸𝑅], it is our belief that Themis will be a great test to see where they stand with their talents. — Internal Memo from the Ethics Committee.

LAST ASSIGNMENT.

ASSISTANT  RESEARCHER;  Site-120.  Assisting  Head  of  Containment  and  Lead  Containment  Researchers,  specializing  in  Containment  Hardware.  Notable  event  includes  an  internal  review  of  possible  connection  to Group of Interest The  Hive  and  a  demotion  to  Assistant  Researcher  rank seven years ago. They have been passed over for promotions ever since.

INTERRELATIONS OF NOTE.

𝑂𝐿𝐷 𝑆𝑃𝑂𝑅𝑇. You've worked with the Iota-10 operative before, having conferred with him in maintaining the Veil before containment. His frank reputation precedes him, and you don't mind his demeanor. ...But you remember having a Perfect Record yourself, a mere gilding over the crisscross of the scars needed to get the work done. You're afraid to ask, but will he reach a breaking point like you did?

𝑉𝐸𝐿𝑉𝐸𝑇 𝐺𝐿𝑂𝑉𝐸. You'd like to think of yourself as a friendly person but this teammate drives you up the wall, and maybe the ceiling? Though they've saved your behind when you've been stuck in an unwanted social situation, their finesse and mannerisms come off practiced to you. It'd be nice to know if they were actually interested in your research or if they're letting you talk on for other reasons...

𝑄𝑈𝑂𝑇𝐸 𝑈𝑁𝑄𝑈𝑂𝑇𝐸. This new teammate stands just to the left of their words, in the same way an anomaly is just off from reality. They clearly know more than they say, and the puzzle is figuring out what they want and what they’ll do to get it. Without giving away too much information yourself, of course. The fact that there's a history of inconveniencing the Foundation is the cherry on top.

𝑈𝑅𝐵𝐴𝑁 𝑀𝑌𝑇𝐻. Finally, someone who is as enthusiastic about learning more about SCPs like you! While you two come from different fields and experiences, you're more than willing to share the berth of your knowledge with a kindred spirit. Hopefully their curiosity is limited to research and doesn't wander into your personal details.

PROFILE.

Though SCP-6997-A is still listed in official documentation as Agent Nathaniel Ortiz, I firmly believe Ortiz ceased to exist on ██/██/████. However, whether SCP-6997-A is aware or even suspects that it is not the original Ortiz is unclear at this time. We can say with any level of certainty that, at this date, SCP-6997-A has not shown any anomalous properties of note other than the means of its creation. Indeed, no such thing has ever been recorded in the decades-long history of observing and maintaining SCP-6997. And while SCP-6997-A may be the breakthrough we need to understand the obelisk, the mystery behind the true purpose of its existence is decidedly unnerving. As was its sudden request to be reassigned to AEED. Though AEED is less than ideal, lest it reveal its true nature to one of the Ethics Committee’s bleeding hearts, it must be removed from the Anti-Mnestics Division as soon as possible. To raise as few alarm bells as possible, I recommend using our insiders to reassign SCP-6997-A to the Broken Scales of Themis, where one of our most loyal operatives can more closely monitor it. And if the Ethics Committee suffers the fallout should SCP-6997-A's true nature is ever discovered, it can only work to our benefit. — Top Secret Internal Memo from O5-█ to O5-██.

LAST ASSIGNMENT.

JUNIOR LAB ASSISTANT; AEED, A  role  requested  by  the  operative  and  approved  five  months  ago.  Peers  in  the  Anti-Mnestics  Department  were  curious  as  to  why  their  career  field  agent  decided  to  start  fresh  in  research.  They  believe  this  request  to  be  a  “midlife”  crisis  case  after  the  previous  field  operative's  incident  with  SCP-6997  on  ██/██/████.

INTERRELATIONS OF NOTE.

𝑂𝐿𝐷 𝑆𝑃𝑂𝑅𝑇. It's not in your memories, but his, a tall man with a blank face and a mindless, inscrutable smile. There are many memories of you two working together, field agent to field agent. Nothing intimate that might require more finesse in your façade, but enough to know that this man could unravel what you are, what you aren't, if you aren't careful.

𝐺𝐴𝑅𝐷𝐸𝑁 𝑉𝐴𝑅𝐼𝐸𝑇𝑌. They're a SCP like you, but unlike you, they're free. A researcher like you want to be, are trying to be, could have been if it was your skin you are living in. You're drawn to your new teammate from a place you can't parse, but the fear comes with it. Can you allow yourself friendship when that is a privilege in the face of self-preservation?

52 𝑃𝐼𝐶𝐾𝑈𝑃. You have no clue about the secret notes that have slipped into their hands, written in code by observers you will never meet. Not when you're alive, anyway. They are your hidden handler, your executioner-in-waiting. Whereas the Ethics Committee would "securely contain" you, Overwatch is more than happy to send their agent to "protect" the world from your existence.

PROFILE.

The Ethics Committee is eager to acquire [𝐷𝑌𝐼𝑁𝐺 𝐵𝑅𝐸𝐸𝐷] and his decades of varied, field-tested experience for MTF Chi-00. Recruited after a youthful encounter with MTF Delta-14 “Winter Wonderland,” [𝐷𝑌𝐼𝑁𝐺 𝐵𝑅𝐸𝐸𝐷] was quickly reassigned from Foundation Security to Parazoology, onward to Tactical Theology, and, ultimately, a distinguished career spanning several relevant Task Forces. While some might remark that [𝐷𝑌𝐼𝑁𝐺 𝐵𝑅𝐸𝐸𝐷] could easily have furthered his rank, comfort, and prestige by settling in any of these roles long-term, his file reflects a persistent hunt for new challenges — and a willingness to generate friction whenever he finds himself at odds with not only the conduct of teammates, but the directives of superiors. The Committee is of the opinion that this doggedness represents more of a risk to [𝐷𝑌𝐼𝑁𝐺 𝐵𝑅𝐸𝐸𝐷] than the success of The Broken Scales of Themis; this operative has time and again demonstrated his readiness to pay prices few are prepared to contemplate in order to save lives, preserve the Veil, and achieve the Foundation’s objectives. — Internal Memo from the Ethics Committee.

𝑆𝑀𝑂𝑂𝑇𝐻 𝑂𝑃𝐸𝑅𝐴𝑇𝑂𝑅. Too smooth, perhaps, but that’s no crime — their record, what you know of it, is undeniable. Still, they’re just another boss. They’ll prove what they’re worth. You’ll follow their orders until those start sounding like bullshit.

𝐿𝐼𝑉𝐸 𝑊𝐼𝑅𝐸. They shipped in with a few ghosts on their back; you know that weight well, but that doesn’t mean you’re about to indulge their self-destructive tendencies. You can’t afford to let the past haunt your present in this line of work. Hopefully they’ll figure that out before somebody else gets hurt.

𝐸𝐿𝐸𝑉𝐴𝑇𝑂𝑅 𝑀𝑈𝑆𝐼𝐶. You never used to hide from this medic. Then again, you weren’t married to any of the other ones. That was a long time ago, and ended before it soured your friendship — for the best. Since then, you’ve stayed close. Until that mission, and what it took from the both of you…

𝐶𝑂𝑊𝐵𝑂𝑌 𝐺𝑅𝐸𝐸𝑇𝐼𝑁𝐺. They’re taking risks, seeking connection the way they are in a job like this. While none of your coworkers would believe it, you know those dangers better than most. Which is why you’re keeping an eye on them. From a distance.

PROFILE.

Dependable and unwavering, [𝑆𝑀𝑂𝑂𝑇𝐻 𝑂𝑃𝐸𝑅𝐴𝑇𝑂𝑅]’s recruitment to the Foundation could be considered a “happy accident.” Originally rescued from anomalous location [DATA EXPUNGED] during the initial exploration into SCP-████’s domain, he was initially stated to be terminated at the end of the mission — however, [𝑆𝑀𝑂𝑂𝑇𝐻 𝑂𝑃𝐸𝑅𝐴𝑇𝑂𝑅] proved vital in containing the entity responsible for the phenomenon. In order to avoid potentially losing a valuable asset to the Foundation, the Ethics Committee decreed that he would be spared. In the years after this event, [𝑆𝑀𝑂𝑂𝑇𝐻 𝑂𝑃𝐸𝑅𝐴𝑇𝑂𝑅] has proven himself to be invaluable and his appointment as the commander of MTF Chi-00 shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. While he surely will be missed in “Law’s Left Hand,” it seemed only right that Themis should be given MTF Omega-1’s best blade. The Ethics Committee is certain that The Broken Scales of Themis will flourish under the steady guidance of this operative. Indeed, there are very few who represent the mission of the Ethics Committee as well as [𝑆𝑀𝑂𝑂𝑇𝐻 𝑂𝑃𝐸𝑅𝐴𝑇𝑂𝑅], and even fewer who could say they have sacrificed as much as he has for the success of the Foundation. Though some of the research staff at Site-φ may feel uncomfortable seeing [𝑆𝑀𝑂𝑂𝑇𝐻 𝑂𝑃𝐸𝑅𝐴𝑇𝑂𝑅]’s face after the Xerox Revision, we are certain his excellent interpersonal skills will ease any concerns that may arise. — Internal Memo from the Ethics Committee.

LAST ASSIGNMENT.

MTF  OMEGA-1;  Located  and  terminated  Director  [REDACTED],  Head  Researcher  [REDACTED],  and  General  [REDACTED]  after  a  data  breach  on  [DATE  REDACTED]  was  traced  back  to  them.  [𝑆𝑀𝑂𝑂𝑇𝐻  𝑂𝑃𝐸𝑅𝐴𝑇𝑂𝑅]  was  also  able  to  confirm  a  connection  between  this  breach  and  Group  of  Interest,  Anderson  Robotics.

INTERRELATIONS OF NOTE.

𝑂𝐿𝐷 𝑆𝑃𝑂𝑅𝑇. If the Ethics Committee had given you the option to select your teammates, 𝑂𝐿𝐷 𝑆𝑃𝑂𝑅𝑇 would have been at the top of the list. You wouldn’t say you two are anything close to friends — you’re barely acquaintances — but you know enough to admire his track record and diligence. Still, you’re surprised the Foundation willingly sent you their best dog and you’re ill-prepared for the awkwardness of holding his leash. The weirdness will hopefully go away once you’ve gotten to know him better. Hopefully.

𝑉𝐸𝐿𝑉𝐸𝑇 𝐺𝐿𝑂𝑉𝐸. You’ve seen their type before and you’re not impressed. More importantly you refuse to be a stepping stone for anyone more interested in climbing the corporate ladder than staying true to the core values of the Foundation. If the Committee wants you to put 𝑉𝐸𝐿𝑉𝐸𝑇 𝐺𝐿𝑂𝑉𝐸 in their place, they don’t have to ask you twice.

𝐾𝐼𝑁𝐺'𝑆 𝐺𝐴𝑀𝐵𝐼𝑇. There was a second after Site-φ Director Buckley Osterholz handed you 𝐾𝐼𝑁𝐺'𝑆 𝐺𝐴𝑀𝐵𝐼𝑇’s photo where you thought a new kill command had come down directly from the Ethics Committee. You’re not sure if you’re relieved that you were mistaken or are just waiting for the other shoe to drop. You wonder if the feeling is mutual.

𝑅𝐸𝑉𝐸𝑅𝑆𝐸 𝐸𝑁𝐺𝐼𝑁𝐸𝐸𝑅. Another familiar face, but one you’re less uneasy about encountering again. However, you’re certain the same can’t be said for them — because while you haven’t seen them in person since the final development stages of the Xerox Revision, they’ve certainly seen yours enough to be sick of it.

PROFILE.

Unquestioning and unerring, [𝑂𝐿𝐷 𝑆𝑃𝑂𝑅𝑇] has a past as vacant as his natural expression. Though no declassified records exist of his life before the Foundation, the recondite entrant started his career in the Decommissioning Department, and after the successful prevention of a K-Class Scenario in [DATA EXPUNGED], he was assigned to an International Field Agent position in MTF Iota-10. In the years after his inconspicuous recruitment, [𝑂𝐿𝐷 𝑆𝑃𝑂𝑅𝑇] has accrued an impressively perfect mission record, no matter the parameters of the assignment. In fact, he is one of the rare Foundation operatives who has never taken a vacation or requested leave. Due to this, there is no doubt this agent would be an ideal choice for the position of supportive MTF Operations Controller out of all the possible candidates. His seeming lack of ambition would also guarantee there will be no friction between him and the MTF Commander, [𝑆𝑀𝑂𝑂𝑇𝐻 𝑂𝑃𝐸𝑅𝐴𝑇𝑂𝑅]. The Foundation’s superiors have confidence in reliable [𝑂𝐿𝐷 𝑆𝑃𝑂𝑅𝑇], expecting the agent to uphold his unblemished success rate and ensure his special directive within the team goes without a hitch. — Internal Memo from the Ethics Committee.

LAST ASSIGNMENT.

MTF  IOTA-10;  Secured  anomalous  instance  in  rural  Czechoslovakia,  liaising  with  covert  cells  within  Czech  law  enforcement  and  federal  government  agencies  to  prevent  civilians  from  encountering  SCP-3155.  Contained  the  instance  without  any  public  awareness  or  casualties,  and  facilitated  relocation  of  SCP-3155  to  Site-49’s  B-Wing  within  14  hours.

INTERRELATIONS OF NOTE.

𝑆𝑀𝑂𝑂𝑇𝐻 𝑂𝑃𝐸𝑅𝐴𝑇𝑂𝑅. Your new commander. Directed by your superiors to be supported by all means. He orders, you follow. His will overrides all. There is no room for error or personal attachments. Your loyalty is sworn, professionally.

52 𝑃𝐼𝐶𝐾𝑈𝑃. Your new teammate. Sports an impressive resume involving covert CIA operations. Ah, was that classified information? Not to a previous senior agent of Iota-10. 52 𝑃𝐼𝐶𝐾𝑈𝑃’s inclusion into MTF Chi-00 is noteworthy, and their exclusion in mentioning their background is an inconsistency worth investigating.

𝐿𝐼𝑉𝐸 𝑊𝐼𝑅𝐸. You’ve met this operative, once; 8 years, 3 months, and 17 days ago. If they remember the tall nondescript thing in the gray-blue suit who commandeered their mission through executive order, then they have remarkable memory. You recall the encounter as well. (It was not quaint.) However, the person you see now is a shell of themselves.

𝑀𝑋. 𝐶𝑂𝑁𝐺𝐸𝑁𝐼𝐴𝐿𝐼𝑇𝑌. Your new teammate. Interfaces others with ease. You’re drawn by a prerogative to comprehend their talents in order to better understand your peers. It’s a one-sided curiosity, you thought. Then, you’ve caught them looking. But there’s nothing interesting about you. You’re certain.

PROFILE.

Born to a highbrow family and destined for a military career, [52 𝑃𝐼𝐶𝐾𝑈𝑃] grew up with a silver spoon in their mouth and a silver bullet in the chamber. Their work in various classified government organizations, namely the CIA, would speak for itself — if this operative hadn’t ensured that their clandestine accomplishments were well-hidden. But [52 𝑃𝐼𝐶𝐾𝑈𝑃] was never one to rest on their laurels; indeed, they always seemed driven, desperately, to seek something more. Really, recruitment into the Foundation’s Site-01 covert cells was simply inevitable. With the Ethics Committee’s newest enterprise underway, it won’t hurt to have [52 𝑃𝐼𝐶𝐾𝑈𝑃] running counterintelligence within MTF Chi-00. The Committee has stood in the way of the Overseer Council for far too long; and as long as [52 𝑃𝐼𝐶𝐾𝑈𝑃] plays their cards right, the Broken Scales of Themis should be the first step of this operative’s long-sought climb to the top. — Top Secret Internal Memo from O5-█ to O5-██.

INTERRELATIONS OF NOTE.

𝑆𝑀𝑂𝑂𝑇𝐻 𝑂𝑃𝐸𝑅𝐴𝑇𝑂𝑅. Your contact in the O5 warned you to watch out for this operative, but if your new commander is good, you’re better — and sneaking information back to the O5 right under 𝑆𝑀𝑂𝑂𝑇𝐻 𝑂𝑃𝐸𝑅𝐴𝑇𝑂𝑅’s nose would be a great way to prove that. Besides, if your commander has something to hide from the Council, isn’t it your duty to expose them? Just imagine how good it look to the O5 if you took out the Ethics Committee’s favorite pet project.

𝑃𝐸𝑅𝐹𝐸𝐶𝑇 𝑆𝑇𝑅𝐴𝑁𝐺𝐸𝑅. An agent who hasn’t earned their stripes is sure to be the weakest link on the team and 𝑃𝐸𝑅𝐹𝐸𝐶𝑇 𝑆𝑇𝑅𝐴𝑁𝐺𝐸𝑅 is so green it’s practically comical. It’s not that you feel anything as shameful as envy over the ease in which they’ve climbed the ranks — it’s just that you can’t understand what the Ethics Committee saw in them. There’s nothing special about 𝑃𝐸𝑅𝐹𝐸𝐶𝑇 𝑆𝑇𝑅𝐴𝑁𝐺𝐸𝑅 at all, you’ve checked. But there has to be something you’re missing. You’ll keep a discreet eye on them for now.

𝑀𝑋. 𝐶𝑂𝑁𝐺𝐸𝑁𝐼𝐴𝐿𝐼𝑇𝑌. This teammate has a real knack for making fast friends, and you’re doing your best to be one of them; their talents and knowledge will be useful to you, so long as they don’t get cozy enough to find out what you’re really up to.

PROFILE.

[ TW: PARENTAL DEATH ] Daring and gifted, [𝐹𝐿𝐼𝑀𝐹𝐿𝐴𝑀]’s astuteness is a product of their nature and nurture both. The sole heir and successor to the Foundation’s greatest researchers in the Department of Mythology and Folkloristics, this budding scientist was left alone with their legacy after an unfortunate experiment claimed their parents’ lives. Their loss appears to have only encouraged their studies. Indeed, one of the research papers they submitted during their internship displayed knowledge and nuance well beyond their years. This triumph ensured their place as [𝑅𝐸𝑉𝐸𝑅𝑆𝐸 𝐸𝑁𝐺𝐼𝑁𝐸𝐸𝑅]’s pride and joy, and earned them a glowing recommendation. From there, [𝐹𝐿𝐼𝑀𝐹𝐿𝐴𝑀] quickly moved up in the scientific world, publishing several key articles regarding containment procedures. Their success won them not only admirers, but accusations: a minor internal investigation followed up on suspicions of plagiarized work, with inconclusive results. Now as elite as their parentage, [𝐹𝐿𝐼𝑀𝐹𝐿𝐴𝑀]’s reassignment to MTF Chi-00 should prove illuminating - especially since they’ll be working alongside [№2 𝑃𝐸𝑁𝐶𝐼𝐿], their past research partner, and [𝑅𝐸𝑉𝐸𝑅𝑆𝐸 𝐸𝑁𝐺𝐼𝑁𝐸𝐸𝑅], their esteemed mentor, once again. — Internal Memo from the Ethics Committee.
