All Foundation personnel are permitted and encouraged to read this document.
A ROUNDERHOUSE Joint Rating: +768 Welcome, O5-13.
Administrator Franz Williams, circa 1891.
LEVEL 1/001 CLASSIFIED Item #: SCP-001 Site-01.
SPECIAL CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES: All personnel are permitted to put in a request to their local Human Resources officer if they would like to visit Site-01. Visits are generally limited to one per 4 years, in order to avoid large amounts of damage to the property. The Site itself is maintained by the Office of the Administrator, and any concerns with the physical building or grounds should be directed there.
DESCRIPTION: SCP-001 refers to a collection of 13 anomalous areas present within Site-01.
These anomalous areas vary in size and effect, and are scattered throughout the ground of the site. A full list of SCP-001 instances is attached below.
Site-01 is a mansion in rural Virginia constructed between 1764 and 1766 by Duke Franz C. Williams, an Austrian noble who would later become the founder and current Administrator of the Foundation. Williams' emigration from Europe was incited by the Seven Years' War, later regarded as the First Occult War. Documents relate that he arrived in the New World in a private party of twelve, purchasing the land for the mansion ahead of time. The party that arrived would become the first Overseers of the Foundation that they formed, though the organization as it is today would not take shape until the late 19th century during the American Civil War.
Safe Safe It became customary for new Overseers to make their own additions to the mansion as they were inducted, modifying and changing rooms to suit their needs, often with anomalous effects. Due to the secrecy associated with the former O5 Council, access to the Site itself was severely restricted until very recently.

SCP-001-11 Description: SCP-001-11 is a small armory in the basement of Site-01. A variety of firearms and traditional weapons are arranged on the walls, along with appropriate ammunition. Touching any of the weapons will display a particular scar on the subject's body, generally from a minor wound along the extrema, but occasionally from a significant torso wound. The scar disappears after letting go of the weapon.
Attached File: Weapon: A vibrospear, of the sort used on Luna during the Solidarity Campaign.
It is inlaid with symbols and markings.
Scar: A bite mark along the calf. The teeth marks do not correspond with any possible human dental set or known animal set.
Weapon: A custom rotating-barrel hand cannon. Emblazoned with the logo of the Foundation Agents Corp.
Scar: 15 large knife wounds across the chest, neck, and arms, ragged and violent.
From: o5-11@overwatch.scp.int To: admin@scp.int Subject: Re: Mission Date: 05-03-2063 You gotta stop worrying about me. I've been doing this shit way before I had a desk job, remember? You had better, you're the one that put me behind it.
I have the best security detail on the planet and I'm going to a site nobody even knows about. The little people need to know we haven't abandoned them. That's how you get people actually defecting.
Focus on getting the other seats filled before you start worrying about what happens if mine goes empty, OK? You're a good boss, but you worry too much.
I'll be fine, I promise.
Administrator's Note — 11: Troy never asked for any of this, but he had the unfortunate fate of being too good at his job. I couldn't let someone like that waste their time in the Foundation hunting down magic objects and following up on Bigfoot rumours.
His condition for being shoved into administration was that he could still take on field jobs if he wanted. As his rank rose, he got less and less time for it, until eventually seeing him go out was a rare thrill. He was a good goddamn Agent.
But he was right. Ultimately he knew something I still fail to understand. Some people just aren't fit for this life. It's one of intrigue, pettiness, and messy, messy politics. He was a simple, down-to-earth guy, he wasn't good for any of that.
But he accepted my offer anyway. Not because he wanted to, but because he thought he should. He was altruistic like that.
Made it a surprisingly good long time behind a desk job, too. Back then if you'd asked anyone how well they thought Agent Lament would do at a desk job, you'd have been laughed out of the room. But there he was. Instead of sneaking into Adiyat or looking into the resurgence of the Spirit, he was making tactical decisions about how best to defend against the Insurgency from the protected walls of the safest place on Earth. He was good at it, but that doesn't mean he was okay with it.
One day he decided he was needed in Site-34 in the Levant. This was in 2063, near the tail end of the Crisis, where none of us were really sure which of our personnel were still truly loyal. You can imagine how worried I was about an Overseer presenting publically, but he said that the people needed to see him, to see that their leadership wasn't scared. He always cared a lot about what people thought.
One of his bodyguards turned out to not be as loyal as we thought. Troy put up a hell of a fight, though - the autolimo arrived at 34 and opened up to a bloodbath. He'd stabbed the assassin with his own knife 12 times before breaking his neck — probably good, Twelve would've castrated the guy for information if he didn't kill him. But he'd gotten cut up a lot, way too much. He might have survived if he was here. As it is, he bled out before the car even stopped.
Knowing Troy, though, that's probably exactly how he'd have wanted to go out.

▷CLOSE◁ SCP-001-13 Description: SCP-001-13 is a small graveyard on the outer grounds of Site-01.
13 gravestones are arranged in a grid of four columns. Each bears an inscription that changes depending on the reader, conforming to their relationship with the subject of the tombstone. The following is a list of messages as recorded by O5-13.
01. Here lies Django Bridge. An archivist to the end.
02. Here lies David Rosen. Never saw it coming.
03. Here lies Everett Mann. Could make anything except happiness.
An empty grave.
04. Here lies Tilda Moose. Didn't know what she had until she gave it away. Died trying to get it back.
05. Here lies Chelsea Elliot, née Glaistig. Feet in two worlds, fit in neither.
06. Here lies Ali Ibn-Bijhan. Betrayed his countrymen. Died of the guilt.
07. Here lies Agatha Rights. The only one I have ever loved.
08. Here lies Thaddeus Xyank. Came from tomorrow to help us today. Never forgot what he left behind.
09. Here lies Jean Aktus. A relic of the past, but he knew that.
Administrator's Note: ▷CLOSE◁ 10. Here lies Kain Pathos Crow. He was a good boy.
11. Here lies Troy Lament. The best I have ever known.
12. Here lies Alto Clef. Rot in hell.
13. MEMENTO MORI It's been eighty years, Gears. I got you onto senior staff, then directorship, then the Council. I know you well enough to know what you do when you're thinking about ending things.
It's okay. I was here before the Council, I'll be here after. You all ran the place well, but at the end of the day, you're still human. You make mistakes, and you have flaws, and that's alright. You did the best you could, and it was pretty good.
I'm sorry for putting this crushing burden on you and the others. I can't help but feel responsible. This life isn't an easy one, they might still be alive if not for me. They'd certainly have been happier.
You were all the best and brightest of the Foundation of then. I took you and I ruined you, and I'm sorry.
Don't worry about what happens after — my office has a handle on things, we have since I stopped refilling your seats. It's time to start burying the past. Make room for the future. There will never be a group like this again, but that's okay. The mere existence of the Council seems to invite tragedy. It's time for something different anyway. I don't know what, but the age of the Council is over, I can tell you that.
Come to my study when you're ready to end it. It's okay, Charles.
Don't worry. You did a good job. I'm proud of you.
