Editing SCP Foundation (section)

== So what is the Foundation? ==

The Foundation is [[Inquisition|an secret organization that protects the world from supernatural, or anomalous as they prefer to call it, threat by containing and studying objects, people, creatures, places, and phenomena that break the accepted laws of physics and thus threated the world's normalcy]].  Dangerous or otherwise interesting objects that they discover are classified as SCPs, which stands for Special Containment Procedures.  

The Foundation has a policy of focusing on containing the anomalous rather than destruction because they want to understand what they fight against, and because destroying anomalous objects often has unexpected consequences.  

Although the Foundation does have some knowledge of magic and other supernatural stuff that could be used to help them contain the supernatural, most SCPs are contained by mundane means if possible.  To help keep the existence of anomalies a secret from the world with fewer deaths, the Foundation uses amnestics, drugs that erase memories, on civilians who witness the supernatural.  They also use amnestic drugs on their own members to keep dangerous information classified, as well as protection against things like anomalies that can spread just by knowing about them.  

But the Foundation is not exactly the good guys, as they are willing to do just about anything to keep the world safe and sane, including performing extremely unethical experiments on people, sacrificing many lives, and imprisoning any anomaly they discover including sapient ones that just want freedom.  There are very few lines that they will not cross as long as it furthers their mission.  

For dangerous experiments and occasional human sacrifices, the Foundation uses prisoners called D-class personnel, who are mainly recruited from prisons.  They are supposed to be mostly death row inmates who are all killed at the end of every month, but one of the above facts probably isn't true.

The Foundation is run by a council of thirteen overseers, who are the mysterious all powerful bosses of the organization, and by an ethic committee, whose job is to decide exactly how evil the foundation is permitted to be.  The only person above the O5 Council is the even more mysterious administrator, who rarely does anything.
