Code of Ethics (CoE)

Area-315 Foundation Personnel Regulations

Humanity First

The Foundation’s primary mission is the preservation of humanity. All containment, research, and operational decisions must prioritize human survival and welfare. Unnecessary suffering must be minimized, whether inflicted upon civilians, staff, or anomalies. Efficiency must never come at the cost of needless harm.

Proportionality

Threat responses must match the scale of danger. Excessive force, destructive protocols, or reckless experimentation are violations of this principle. Combat teams must neutralize threats precisely; researchers must balance curiosity with restraint; containment must avoid cruelty at all costs.

Dignity & Respect

Every sentient being—staff, Class-D, or anomaly—possesses inherent dignity. Respect is not optional. Class-D are human beings, not tools; sentient anomalies are entities capable of thought and must be contained accordingly. Disrespect erodes morale, discipline, and the Foundation’s legitimacy.

Transparency in Oversight

All actions with ethical weight are subject to Ethics Committee review: experimental designs, containment revisions, and disciplinary actions. Documentation must be complete and honest. Concealing facts is itself an ethical violation. Oversight is not a barrier, but a safeguard.

The Greater Good

Sacrifice is sometimes necessary, but never without purpose. Every loss must yield a demonstrable benefit to humanity. Sacrifice without justification is cruelty; sacrifice with purpose is duty. Leadership must ensure this burden is carried with solemnity.

General Rules

  • 1.1 – Personnel must adhere to the CoE at all times.
  • 1.2 – Ignorance of the CoE does not excuse misconduct.
  • 1.3 – Violations result in disciplinary action based on severity.

  • 2.7 – SCPs may not be used for personal gain.
  • 2.8 – Concealing/falsifying identity leads to severe action.

Combative Personnel

  • 3.1 – Uniforms must be worn while on duty.
  • 3.2 – Remain stationed in areas that you have been assigned to except reassigned.
  • 3.3 – Escort Class-D for testing when required.
  • 3.4 – Escort all non-combative staff to shelters during breaches.
  • 3.5 – Termination of staff requires the same authorization as mentioned at 2.6.
  • 3.6 – Unauthorized access to higher clearance zones is prohibited.

  • 3.8 – Unauthorized termination of SCPs is extremely forbidden.

Class-D Subjects

  • 4.2 – Crossing CDC security lines results in termination after warning.
  • 4.3 – Attempting SCP breaches results in immediate termination.
  • 4.4 – Only Class-D may be used for anomaly testing.

Managing & Administrative

  • 5.2 – Ethical violations by leaders judged more severely.
  • 5.3 – Admins may not directly test SCPs.
  • 5.4 – Executions require the same authorization as mentioned in 2.6.

Personnel Clearance and Classification Overview

All AHCRA-315 personnel are issued a Security Keycard. Keycard levels and personnel classifications determine operational access and exposure permissions across all facility sectors.

Security Clearance Levels

Security Clearance Levels are in form of a Keycard given to every personnel on-site — even Class-D. These determine access permissions and movement tracking within the facility.

  • Level 0: Granted to primarily Class-D personnel for identification, escort, and limited movement tracking.
  • Level 1: Access to most standard facility zones; no anomaly contact; used by interns or cadets.
  • Level 2: Standard clearance for most staff; allows interaction with anomalies under supervision.
  • Level 3: Granted to senior division members and researchers; near-complete access to research sectors.
  • Level 4: Reserved for Site Directory, Board Command, and Department Leadership.

If you encounter a keycard labeled above Level 5, contact Level 4 personnel immediately.

Classification Overview

Classifications indicate how closely personnel operate near anomalous or hazardous entities.

  • Class A: Critical administrative roles; no anomaly exposure; first to evacuate during emergencies.
  • Class B: Operational personnel with limited anomaly handling; evacuated during major breaches.
  • Class C: Regularly interact with contained anomalies; subject to health and psych evaluations.
  • Class D: Used for testing or direct anomaly exposure; sourced from death row and repurposed.
  • Class E: Mostly temporary classification for those exposed to anomalies.

Authorized for internal AHCRA-315 reference only.
Verified and approved by the SCP:Foundation and RAISA.

[CLASSIFIED] The Coven of 13

General dossier on anomalous Group of Interest "The Coven of 13"

NOTICE: This document contains sensitive intelligence. Level 3 Clearance required — Unauthorized dissemination strictly forbidden.

Name

The Coven of 13

Summary

Primary Investigated Part of this GoI is an Anomalous Fanatical Cult/Group of Interest.

Overview

The Coven of 13 is an anomalous fanatical cult first recorded in 1972. Initially, it remained relatively neutral and caused minimal harm, maintaining sporadic but non-lethal conflicts with the Foundation. This was attributed to their stronger connection to their so-called “gods,” making them less desperate and less violent.

Between 1985 and 1995, the group disappeared entirely for unknown reasons. However, around 2001, the Coven resurfaced, this time fragmented, extremely fanatical, and violently obsessed with its beliefs.

Currently, the Coven is split into several branches:

  • Proto-TC13: Remaining members of the 1972 Coven, disorganized and without central leadership.
  • Neo-TC13: Modern splinter groups formed after 2001, highly fanatical and violent.
  • Split-TC13: Individuals or smaller cells sharing similar beliefs but unaffiliated with Neo-TC13.

Important Known Individuals

  • Osiris — Formerly interrogated individual, later escaped. Known to operate within Area-315. Note by [DATA EXPUNGED]:
    “This individual is an untrustworthy little rat. He will lie as much as needed to benefit himself. He might still hold valuable connections to these ‘gods,’ so handle him carefully.”

New Information

New data and updates will be logged here as investigations continue. Please also view the Facility Incidents log of this GoI for more specific information.

[Side Note - Osiris-Interrogation-0.1]

Logged by: [REDACTED]

Osiris has stated that the Proto-TC13 — or as he calls them, “the original coven” — attempted to co-exist peacefully with the Foundation. Other facility reports and evidence appear to support this statement.

[First Log - TC13-001 - Significant Pattern]

Logged by: [REDACTED]

On hostile bodies of Neo-TC13 cultists, numerous anomaly-related records have been discovered. These suggest that the group actively documents anomalies they encounter and may attempt to weaponize them. Current investigations support the theory that Neo-TC13 is attempting to bring one of their deities into the mortal plane.
