Welcome Back, Sophia Light.

Don't forget Omega-7:

It's been almost 10 years since that event. Everyone who lived it remembers, and don't want to forget what lead to the death of ■■■ Mobile Task Force units. Although the information related to Omega-9 is now confidential, you must know what diffenciate Alpha-9 from it's previous attempt.

For a quick summary, Omega-7 had the iniciative of using SCPs for the capture and containment of other SCPs entities. The hole idea was to use the anomalies for our own objectives, thinking that if we couldn't understood them, at least we can control them. Of course, that was at the time the Foundation still had the idea of terminating some SCPs and threat every single one of them with no right. Some will call it "The goos old days" but for me it's more like a mistake that I don't wanna repeat.

Well. You know the rest. One thing lead to the other, more humanoid SCPs were found and we added them to the club with no previous test. I'm still wondering what we expected back there, but the answer was obvious. The only survivor from that incident was Iris Thompson, formaly known as SCP-105. She had 17 years old back then and had to experience the death of every single of her friends back then. It is clear that she will never forget the Foundation, but at least she's still loyal.

I supose it's just about choosing the best option out of a bunch of worse options.

Because that's the thing. Back then we though the foundation have everything on it's palm, with major groups of interest controlled at a certain degree and containments being nothing more than putting the anomaly inside a metal box and forgetting it's even there. But after Omega-7 everything went down. It wasn't the catalyst but the warning of everything to come. Suddenly, anomalies began to be more complex, more interconnected, more organized, and suddenly their containment became more difficult; they couldn't simply be locked away. There were other groups who wanted to get them out; there were anomalies who wanted to collaborate with the others; there were others who were too human and others were too inmoral to just being locked away.

The ethics committee certainly had quite a bit of work that season.

And this is where Iris stands out from the rest. Not because it is a particularly complex anomaly, but because it is essentially one of the few options we have to remind us that not all anomalies behave the same way, that with enough training they can still be convinced that the foundation is the best option for them.

Of course, the registration for the new project will be stricter than the previous one; we can't just put anyone who has some kind of superpower on the team and expect them to live for the good of humanity. That is why we are not looking for the best of the best, nor even someone with whom we could control them, although we could, but someone who maintains a strong belief in the foundation's purpose, its role in the world, and its convictions and morals, beyond any kind of seduction that other interest groups might try to exert on them.

They are not chosen because they are the most powerful or the coldest, but because they best represent humanity, they best represent the balance that we are now seeking between the anomalous and the everyday; they are our Last Hope.

If Omega-7 was nicknamed Pandora's Box, I think it's fitting that Alpha-9 should carry what's left inside the box.

And I remain the hope that, perhaps in the future, this will be the direction in which the Foundation can operate.

SCP Member's files

Name: Iris Thompson

Age: 27

Gender: Fem

Tag: SCP-105

Class: Squad Leadership/Scouting and surveillance

Bio:

Iris was one of the first anomalies contained during the 1990s. She is one of the few remaining from that era, and although her psychological profile has shown that she has certain rebellious impulses against the foundation's orders, she still remains ideal, and we are grateful that she adheres to her own principles, as she also serves as a reminder of the past.

Anomalous properties:

She possesses a camera that, once each photograph is taken, serves as a camera that can directly see what is happening in the place where the photograph was taken. As the only Iris, she is able to interact with the environment within the photograph itself. These interactions have also been altered in the place where the photograph was taken, and sometimes this manifests itself with her putting her hand directly into the photograph.

Name: Samson Sachs

Age: 113

Gender: Male

Tag: SCP-4128

Class: Mobile Task Force

Bio:

Although Samson was registered in 1975, his classification was late, hence his SCP number was so high. However, Samsung is a crucial member of the Foundation because he is one of the easiest to control and handle, since he is cautious by nature. He maintains a positive attitude and tries to emulate his greatest inspiration, the original Superman from Action Comics.

Anomalous properties:

Samson possesses superhuman strength and endurance, however he does not possess any other remarkable attributes in his anatomy; he does not have superhuman reflexes nor does he have a physique greater than that of an average athlete; however, his strength and endurance allow him to perform feats that no other person could; he has even been shown to be bulletproof.

Name: Emma

Age: 17 (Photo above is an old one)

Gender: Fem

Tag: SCP-040

Class: Support

Bio:

A girl who was subjected to unknown experiments, but from which no information can be gathered due to her lack of memory. Conflicting stories about her will make you understand that she wasn't the only test subject; it's likely there are clones of her out there, but for now, only this instance of Emma is known.

Anomalous properties:

She has great talent in biokinesis, being able to create complex multicellular organisms based on unicellular organisms found in the environment. She is able to control and command them, as well as alter the biochemistry and biology of living organisms carbon based, although she admitted that she finds it quite difficult to do so with plants.

Name: THE SPECTER

Age: Unknown

Gender: Possibly Male

Tag: SCP-4494

Class: Mobile Task Force

Bio:

A literal physical manifestation of the concept of justice and the fight against crime is quite similar to a vigilante from the pulp comic era. During freetime he lives in the foundation's facilities, watches movies, and plays video games. He is very dramatic at it.

Anomalous properties:

It has the ability to teleport and manifest itself wherever it is needed with a fog in a crime zone, although it can only be at one place at a time. If he fails in his mission, the area where he was fighting becomes a war zone in which people will completely forget about fighting crime and the laws of the region. He is skilled with guns and hand-to-hand combat, however he is also able to pull any kind of gadget out of his trench coat. These usually refer to things similar to those seen in superhero pood, for example, throwing weapons or explosive pens. He never takes off his clothes.

Name: Claudia

Age: 25

Gender: Fem (Identified)

Tag: SCP-347

Class: Scouting and surveillance

Bio:

A humanoid creature of invisible appearance but who, according to her, is a woman of mixed race features. She has lived on the streets for many years and refuses to talk about her past; it is likely that her name is not even her real name but simply a reference to the actor from the film The Invisible Man. She is cooperative as long as she is treated well; however, she is also capable of developing overly dependent emotional relationships to the point of spying on people she is interested in, not to mention that she has a rather flirtatious attitude.

Anomalous properties:

She is completely invisible and violates the laws of logic and physics about the behavior of light, causing any object that enters her to disappear, including food and other objects. Despite her invisibility, she is able to see perfectly. As time has passed within the foundation, it has been shown that she is becoming invisible to different spectra, not only to light but also, for example, heat, electromagnetic or radiation sensors.

NOTE: This image is a selfportay made by SCP-423

Name: Fred

Age: Unknown

Gender: Male

Tag: SCP-423

Class: Scouting and surveillance/Mobile Task Force

Bio:

It has no physical form, however, during most of its manifestations it is described as a middle-aged or young man, usually leaning towards a teenager or young adult, although it is not limited to that age since it can vary depending on the chosen material.

Anomalous properties:

This is a sentient metafiction idea: a character who inserts himself into popular stories depending on his choice. He usually appears as a secondary character in the stories, but being sentient, you understand most of his actions. It is even capable of interacting with the characters within the chosen work.

Name: Rainer Mille

Age: 26

Gender: Male

Tag: SCP-4051

Class: Mobile Task Force

Bio:

A young man with unusual abilities who had a brief but successful career as a vigilante. Once recruited by the Foundation, everything fell apart due to the Foundation's own mistakes. That's all we can say, but he's a good kid.

Anomalous properties:

He can open tiny wormholes to pocket dimensions containing a virtually infinite number of a single object. If he can imagine and understand an object, he can open a portal to the dimension where infinite copies of that object exist and pull one of them out.

Furder information about his habilities are restricted to B-Class.

Name: Hector

Age: Unknown

Gender: Male (Identified)

Tag: SCP-1360

Class: Squad Leadership

Bio:

A sentient robot developed by Anderson Robotics (an anomalous organization that is able to create impossible tech) that was builded for war but refuse to participate on it. It´s a very polite and kind being with a deep empathy.

Anomalous properties:

Not only is he sentient (even though there's nothing in his system to suggest sentience), but he also possesses a vast array of tactical abilities: military-grade armor, advanced sensors, strength capable of piercing steel, extraordinary targeting systems, integrated weaponry… Hector will refuse to use any of these abilities, always seeking ways to ensure no one gets hurt, and he acts more as a tactical agent than as a protector of everyone involved.

Name: Leora

Age: 24

Gender: Fem

Tag: SCP-4818

Class: Mobile Task Force

Bio:

A young girl fan of comic books that as soon as she get anomalous properties, developed a deep moral compass and an urge to help others, She was recruited by the Foundation with the promise of doing right in the right way, She accepts.

Anomalous properties:

She can generate solid structures of light, move between light and dark areas, and use these abilities in highly creative ways, both for defense and combat. Her main weakness is absolute darkness: without available light, her powers are greatly reduced.

NOTE:

I've learned of the discontent within O5 regarding the new project Alpha-9, and I understand why. Compared to Omega-7, Alpha-9 is nothing more than a watered-down version of the force that Omega-7 once was, with a lower success rate. However, this is to be expected, as the success rate, excluding the event that dematerialized Omega-7, was 100%.

But I'd also like to make a small observation about how Alpha-9 is currently being organized. I want you to take a look at the scene in the cafeteria and see everyone around a table. Notice the difference from the old Omega-7 years, when most of them simply ate in their respective cells or tried to avoid each other, not even interacting with the non-anomalous squad members. Meanwhile, right now we have SCPs who, rather than being treated as anomalous agents, are treated as people, and I think that's the greatest strength within Alpha-9.

Including SCP-5031 as many requested is a terrible idea. Since we are not trying to recruit the most powerful or strongest nomadic members we have at our disposal, if that were the case we would have already brought in entities that we are not even able to control, such as SCP-682, SCP-053 or SCP-166. I also want to emphasize that the success rate we are using to measure Alpha-9 is not the same as the one used to measure Omega-7. With the first team, we measured their effectiveness in neutralizing anomalies and anomalous events, while with Alpha-9 we are focusing more on the successful capture and healing of most of the SCPs that may come into our hands, prioritizing their understanding over their destruction.

I also understand that there have been concerns about including former Omega-7 members in Alpha-9, as well as other SCPs, that their mental state would not allow for the enormous amount of stress that Alpha-9 usually handles. Therefore, these requests will be suspended until further analysis or a better alignment between the suggested SCPs and the Foundation's intentions. Until then, we can only be grateful that thanks to the existence of Alpha-9, the Serpent's Hand has left us in peace for a while.
