— Edgar W. McInnis
Welcome to Site-43! We're different.
Looking for scary monsters in solid boxes? This place isn't for you. Looking to feed people into a meat grinder? You'll have better luck at Site-19. Looking for a relaxed backwater full of eccentric academics, and a chance to try out some crazier containment techniques? Come see what we get up to down below.
There's a few things you need to know before you get settled in. First of all, have you got any reflective objects on your person? Anything made of glass, or clear plastic? We're gonna have to confiscate those. No, they should have told you before you arrived. See, there's a mirror monster loose in the compound, and the best part is, that's intentional.
It might take you some time to get used to this place. Why not ride the Inter-Sectional Subway System and check out Intake Point Nine-Four, in the middle of Lake Huron? It's all glassed-in, and it's quite a view. Maybe you'll spot one of the underwater panthers that are loose on the lakebed! That's also intentional.
We handle containment differently at Site-43. We have to, because we can't actually take on more super-dangerous anomalies. We've still got quite a few, but they're the ones we can't move. After the annual magic gunk refinery explosions started happening, we…
Hey! Where are you going?
I'm glad you decided to stay. I have some stories to tell you about this place, and the people who work here, and the people who don't work here anymore. We keep a lot of secrets down here in the dark.
Right now, there's two things dominating most of our time. On the one hand, we're fighting a shadow war with an ancient Austrian memeticist society (no, seriously). On the other hand, we're trying to catch a less-ancient American memeticist corporation (yes, seriously). Of course there's a lot more than that going on; it's a big, weird Site. Maybe you'll bring us some new stories. Maybe they won't even be about memes. Please, let them not be about memes.
Yeah, let's start with this one. It's a good introduction to the way things work in this place. Okay, so there's this janitor, and his visible friend, right? They're gonna die of old age here.
Hey, that's the Site Director! He's been the Site Director for more than twenty years, minus a two-week period where… hahaha, oh man, funny story. Okay, maybe notfunny, but…
We don't talk about this one much anymore. It looked like it was gonna be the Next Big Thing, but then there was that unfortunate business with the bombs, and… well.
Ugh, is it that time of year again? Go into your room, lock the door, and if you hear explosions, don't worry about it. They're old explosions.
I hope things turn out well for the janitor, he's a pretty swell dude.
You want to hear about how this place got started? Oh, sure, it's an interesting story. Along, interesting story. A long interesting story about a textually-transmitted disease and the pseudoscience ads that have cured it for four hundred years. Do I have your attention yet?
How about those underwater panthers, eh? Can you believe it, they actually tried to capture them back when they were building the Site. Hahaha. Boy,that turned out well.
Come here for a second. You see that door? That one, right there? Don't ever open that door. Why? Because it leads to a gigantic ravine and a gigantic underground factory. They say it's haunted. And then they get amnesticized, because it's SECRET haunted!
Have you met Dr. Blank and Dr. Bradbury? They used to be quite the team, back in the day. They're quite the team again, thanks to what happened during that whole General Bowe disaster. You didn't hear about that? It's a great object lesson in why our way works.
I think you're ready for the big picture. It's got lots of small pictures in it, if you get bored.
Are you a history buff? Yeah, not a lot of people are. But the history of this place is truly wacko, so I think it's worth taking a dive into. Just don't breathe too deep.
Don't believe the title. You're not gonna learn how to break down esoteric effluence by reading this. You might just learn how to become a better researcher, though.
So, keep this under your hat, but we might be in an alternate reality. Yeah, it's 5243's fault. Yeah, a lot of things are, around here.
I've decided I'm never going to die. When you die, all the awful shit you deleted comes back to haunt you in CD-ROM form. Not even joking. There's a file on it and everything.
Have you seen Dr. Corbin lately? She seems really down; Theology and Teleology is a depressing field. I hear they're getting some cool new bones, maybe that'll cheer her up.
It's that time of year again. Apparently. It's hard to tell when you're stuck underground, surrounded by sick people. Merry whatever! Keep your distance, please.
This place doesn't exist in a vacuum. There's a whole world of Sites out there! And we saved their asses. It's classified as all hell, but that's the short version. Thereis a long version.
People say this place was founded by two men who were very close, for a very long time. People say a lot of things about those two; they're the only ones who really knew the truth.
Have you ever wondered how someone comes to work at the Foundation? No, of course not, youdo work at the Foundation! Well, I bet everyone else wonders. At least a little bit.
What was your first anomaly? Did you stumble on it in the wild, or did you get to see it behind glass, where it couldn't hurt you? Did you take a chance, and risk it all?
Not many people who work here are remembered once they're gone. Conversely, not many people whodon't work here are forgotten. Sometimes these things dovetail.
Everybody who works here has a story. Some of them are funny, most of them are sad, a few of them are scary, but very few are boring. Some of them are harder to classify.

So "magic explosions happen here annually" is the short version. "Magic timeline shenanigans happen here often" is the longer version. Thelongest version is also… really upsetting.
It's really sad, what happened to Dr. Deering… but don't tell his brother. It's really sad what happened to him, too. They have that in common; it's basically the only thing they share.
Not many people bring a bona-fide anomaly with them to the Foundation when they're hired. That's, like, a reverse signing bonus! Anyway, ask Dr. Blank about ocean liners.
People working in IT have it rough, so it's no wonder some of them snap under the pressure. Chief Marroquin, though, he snapped in style — 1990s Apple Macintosh style.
There's no D-class at Site-43, and we treat our humanoids well. Even we have our limits, however, and wouldn't you know it? Child cannibalism is one of them.
VKTM takes up a lot of our time here; we've hired a lot of researchers for their file. Dr. McInnis seems to have a special interest, even though he isn't project head… wonder why.
by Ihp
We do a lot of memetics work at 43, and there's a reason for that: we're in a slow-burning war with the original memeticists. Watch your language around them, or you might lose it.
We've been finding a ton of these weird little objects that do big, terrible things lately. Sometimes we figure them out. Sometimes that's good. It wasn't, in this case.
Ever meet somebody with a stupid name? No, I mean astupid name. No, I mean a really, really,really stupid name. Yes. No! Alright, you're not getting it. Here's what I mean.
by Ihp
Not everyone has a story, if you ask me. Take Dr. Wettle. Please. Hahaha! But seriously, there's no explanation for why he is the way he is except personal failings. There can't be.
Have you met Dr. Reynders? She's the easiest person in the entire Site to meet. She has no schedule, and she's always in the same place.Always. Sincenineteen-forty-three.

What would our world be like if all the strange, wonderful, horrible things were gone? We might be about to find out. Is it possible we've been doing things wrong this whole time?
Wow, seems like only yesterday I was introducing you to Phil and his mirror monster. Time flies when you're having fun, eh? Time hasn't flown for Phil very often.
A lot has happened in the past year, and it's trickled all the way down to everyone's favourite sad-sack janitor. I think perhaps it's time to look back on what we've accomplished.
We all have strange childhood memories. Oh! That reminds me. You are required to report all strange childhood memories to the Spectrometry and Spectremetry Section ASAP.
We don't own this land. It wasn't for sale, and anyway we never paid a penny for it. There is an injustice baked into this story, and it's hard to digest; this park was stolen.
If you've noticed anybody acting kinda weird lately, you should tell Dr. Lillihammer. Okay, I know, everyone here is already weird, but. I meanreally weird. Like, Australian weird.
Explosions are not a rarity at this Site. The thing is, we've gotten used to our explosions. Our explosions arescheduled. We do not approve of unscheduled explosions at this Site.
byPlaceholder McD and
HarryBlank
Perhaps I should have clarified earlier. We don't approve ofanything unscheduled in our regularly-scheduled magical meltdowns. Poor Dr. Wettle… and poor Dr. Zlatá?

Lake HuronSupply,Control, andPurification.S&CPlastics. How do we dare to be so overt? And what kind of a name is "The Secure, Contain, Protect Foundation" anyway? There's got to be something deeper going on. There's got to be a story here.
Dr. LeBlanc has been hanging out with Dr. Wettle for a long time, now. That can't be healthy for him. But maybe, just maybe, it can be healthy for Dr. Wettle…
In an office deep and dreary, Dr. Elstrom's feeling leery of the requisition forms she's forced to sign the whole day long. Presently she feels a pang of conscience, and begins harangue designed to keep her spirits warm: calm down, Karen, sign the forms.
You ever notice how many funny guy SCPs we contain these days? When did that start, anyway? Why haven't I ever heard of the very first funny guys to get contained?
Karen Elstrom gets a lot of shit as Site-43's chief administrative officer. She brings more than a little of it on herself. Why does she seem so keen to be that thing what rhymes with 'itch'?
Hatred is romance plus time. Love is romance plus time plus having something in common.
We celebrate our good fortune at the end of another successful year of s-ing, c-ing and p-ing. It's not much of a celebration, because we haven't got much good fortune.
byCalibold
Philip and Doug have grown so much over the past few years, and they've really made an impact on Site-43… and beyond. At least VKTM cared enough to hire some good actors.
Thegiftschreiber announce the dawning of a new era with attacks on all branches of the SCP Foundation. Thilo Zwist knows that only he can set things right. Is he wrong?
Okay, you ever feel like people are getting worse at writing? Not specific people, butpeople, basically everybody? Oh, cripes, iseverything an anomaly now?
There's something on the horizon. No, actually, it'stwo somethings, and theyare the horizon. And the horizon is getting closer.
Spectrometry and Spectremetry studies the limin between life and death, the ultimate fate of all mankind. Naturally, nobody takes them seriously. Except the ghosts.
Science, in a nutshell, is about testing the boundaries of the known. Parascience is about testing the boundaries of theunknown, and that can get a whole lot weirder.
Dr. William Wallace Wettle is not the unluckiest man on Earth. That would be a mark of distinction, and poor old Willie's got none of those. But when worldwide probability goes on the collective fritz, his one point of stable sad-sackery becomes the Foundation's most distinctive asset. He's about to become very famous, and he's going to hate it very much.
The eighth of September, 2002 is a black mark on the safety record of Site-43. Acroamatic Abatement Facility AAF-D exploded, eight staff members died, and the lives of the rest were irrevocably changed. It's time we found out why it happened… and what it all meant.
Marie Arsenault is about to greet her last trick or treater. Sleep tight, child.
What better night to go hunting for ghosts than All Hallow's Eve? Any other night. We should have pickedany other god damn night. Shift happens.
Some of our people are becoming magic people. Some magic people are becoming our people. The end of the year is a time for becoming, and belonging.
Lillian Lillihammer is back from her cryptomantic training retreat. By the time this day is out, she'll be making Delfina Ibanez and Udo Okorie wish they could retreat themselves.
We're a tight-knit group at 43, and the passage of time has little effect on that. When we think one of ours is in danger, well, that's whenwe're at our most dangerous.
The Occult and Supernatural Activity Taskforce of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police is a big name for small men in large hats. And there's not much inside those hats.
Some fights never end. Some fighters just won't quit. The Guthrie family has been in the trenches for three generations, and their long struggle might just set the rest of us free.
It's an open secret that the staff of Site-43 get up to a lot of monkey business with each other. It's time to start prying closed doors open and figure out why.
You look at something often enough, you stop seeing it. That's not the case with Site-43's unique, anachronistic crest; you can't really stop seeing yourself, after all.
byIhp
There is something rotten in the State of America. Magic is making sure that hundreds of corrupt fascists with no term limits or oversight are remaining in power potentially forever — and the culprit is a shadow out of Site-43's past.
We mark out our lives with milestones, but sometimes the progress doesn't seem so great.
Karen Elstrom is one of the longest serving, and longest suffering, members of Site-43's staff. Doesn't she deserve a little happiness? The universe would seem to believe not.
First the worst thing happened, and then the worst thing got worse. The Survivors of Site-43's cataclysmic catastrophe are just now learning how all-encompassing it is; opposed by the impersonal forces of time and space, can they build a better world?
Yuletide at Site-43, once again. They don't know how good they've got it, or how bad they'll have it next year. Neither do I. See how little I get posted in the next nine months?
A whirlwind of doomed worlds rushes past the seven members of Provisional Task Force Sampi-5243, as each September sees a new opportunity to shatter their warped and wasteful lives. Does every trial have its end? Every duty? Every life?
Drs. Blank and Bradbury barely made time for each other in the last twenty years. They certainly never made time for a family. Suddenly, time makes a family for them.
It's been over a year since Dr. Udo Okorie learned she isn't wholly of this world. In a dusty oubliette full of long-buried secrets, she discovers far more than just her own origins.
It's been a rough year at Site-43. There's only one way it can end.
Thirty years ago, Chief Delfina Ibanez lost everything. Her vanished past just came roaring back; come hell or high water, she's going to make damn sure it will not fade again.

Who says there's nothing good on the radio these days?
ALL-SECTIONS STAFF MEETING MINUTES [EXCERPT]
The next agenda item was SCP-5904, a set of memetic videotapes. Dr. Wettle was selected as lead researcher after remarking, without prompting, that he still owned a VHS player.
This ain't your daddy's history. Or your mommy's. Or maybe anybody's?
VKTM takes up a lot of our time here; we've hired a lot of researchers for their file. Dr. McInnis seems to have a special interest, even though he isn't project head… wonder why.
We don't have D-Class at 43, but we're an outlier. Theydo have D-Class at 19, tons of them in fact, and VKTM noticed; this is what they did about it. Poor Dr. Whatserface.

VKTM is really branching out. Did you see the pilot for their game show? Someone needs to explain to them that the "game" part doesn't mean "animals kept for hunting purposes."
These tapes are so much fun. First we get to find out what horrible thing they commited to film; then we get to find out what horrible thing it does to us. Every day is Christmas.
Ever feel like Groups of Interest exist to make our lives morally complicated? Half the time VKTM leaves me going "haha fuck yeah!" and half the timemy lifespan is shortened.
What's more American than Thanksgiving? The closing ranks. The sharpened knives. The carving-up. The sheerconsumption. Taking what you don't need! Taking itall.
You ever see one of those travel documentaries where it's almost like the documentarians got bored with real countries, and made up a fake one? No, you haven't. Not like this.
I used to think I wanted to know what made these people tick, what goes on in their weird alien brains. And then I found out. The goodie bags had better be worth it…
There's a reason we don't cross-test anomalies: the results are unpredictable. There's a reason we wish anomalous media companies wouldn't cross-pollinate: this is that reason.
They tell stories 'round these here parts 'bout the meanest, nastiest, stupidest, most ornery critters ever to walk the face o' this ol' Earth. They're awful unselfconscious like that.

Are you ready for a very special VKTM holiday production? The holiday is something called "the SCP-7000 contest," and the question was rhetorical, because you're already on set and on camera, Marjorie! I'm sure the other members of the O5 Council wish you the best of luck as the games begin. (Save any admission of crimes against humanity for the lightning round.)

Ron Gambi learns the hard way that social media in the time of Vanguard is a toxic swamp of dangerous bad actors. It's nice to see continuity in the midst of change!
The cursed media landscape caters to all tastes, and sometimes that generates some truly inscrutable shit. Like… who wants to see some actress' knees this bad? And thismuch?

.aics Mnemosyne, Glacon and 8-ball fight to free their fragile human handlers from the supposed Prophet of WAN. Will they forget their foes before CORE remembers its allies?
Site-15's Director gets a tad too curious about a hazardous semantic anomaly and falls into a web of self-abstracting logical truths. Don't ask who wove it. Seriously, don't.
The pataphysicist supreme hears a call to adventure from across an interstellar gulf. Will he be the hero of this journey, and if so: what will he find, and how will he change?
If Placeholder McDoctorate is going to explore the storyhole, he'll need a crew. Preferably a crew with unrealized narrative potential; a blank slate, if you will. You will! It is written.
McDoctorate and Blank are committed, but the Placeholder Exploratory Engine still needs its archetypical complement filled out. Place has a list; time for a secondary character harvest.
Things sure have changed. Used to be they didn't think twice about feeding human beings into geometric meat grinders. Why'd they stop? Well, there's this underground urban legend…
Have you been to Toronto? Used the subway? There's some leftover anomalous shit in Museum Station. Okay, they say it's safe and all, but a load-bearing sculpture appears out of nowhere? You can't tell me that's normal. Even for us, that isn't normal.

Anomalous media is getting thoroughly out of hand. What's next? Slipcases that restore deleted scenes? Commercials thatmake you buy stuff? Rating stickers that change content?
Parawatch is kind of a problem for us. No, not like that; they're easy to silence, and they're not great at digging stuff up. Theyare a magnet for anomalous awfulness, however.
Have you ever felt like all the love has gone out of the world? Whenabouts was that? When you felt it, yeah? No, I need to know the exact date. For the report.
What do you get when you cross a deer god, a Polish mage, two American mages, a Canadian theologist, and the storybook world of Sloth's Pit? Fire. You get fire.
"Canada? What have they got, anomalous maple syrup mooses?" No. First, the plural of "moose" is "moose." Second, what we've got is anomalous hydroelectric beavers.
There's always been a divide between the Global Occult Coalition and the SCP Foundation; our ideologies and approaches are incompatible. What could bridge that gap?

Dr. Everwood's been under a lot of stress lately, and so has reality in the hall leading to their office. Here's the thing about coincidences in the SCP Foundation: they're not a thing.

A question is posited: is it okay to steal your co-workers' lunches if the lunches aren't very good, and also if the food is foreign? Why, yes, the positeris American. How'd you guess.
A suggestion box, one that ACTUALLY addresses people's concerns. How nice!
Or maybe it isn't… Yeah, judging by the results, it really isn't.
There's a hot new trend at Site-43: literally catching on fire. We can't wait to find out if it's a terrifying new thing or a dumb new thing! Odds are 50/50.
There's a hole in the wall atOutpostProvisional Site Site-232, and it's coughed up one hell of a problem for Dr. Fellows, a whole cast of eccentric experts, and possibly all life on Earth.
You ever noticed how much stuff at this Site has its own logo? Yeah, Dr. Blank makes most of those. For an archivist, though, he sure has an interesting filing system.

Want to write for this canon? You don't have to use the established characters — but you can! You don't have to contribute to existing storylines — but you can! (Except Archetypicals, that's self-contained.) You don't even need to write about Site-43 itself — though you can — as long as you're using some of the elements outlined in the next tab. You should think of this place as a set of storytelling tools. We've got a detailed, well-defined Site, a big ol' cast you can bend to your whims, and a generalized Canadian-ness that should satisfy your entirely inappropriate need to, say, create an actual Canadian branch.
This is a canon about real people in absurd situations. Click onward if that appeals to you at all.
Canada is a Foundation backwater, so Site-43 is set up differently from most other R&C facilities. Personnel are organized into pseudoacademic Sections and encouraged to engage in long-term collaborative research projects. Containment procedures are more creative than the norm; the intensity of supernatural activity in the Great Lakes region makes putting everything in boxes impractical, so more esoteric solutions are devised. Containment breaches are rare, D-class are nonexistent, and the sense of camaraderie is strong. People live at 43, and they don't all hate it.
One major focus of research is the ancient Austrian secret societies known as theschriftsteller andgiftschreiber, memeticists focused on upholding or undermining the cause of universal order. For reasons as yet unknown, thegiftschreiber have been conducting a sustained campaign against the Canadian government and Site-43 since the late 1960s. A good primer article isSCP-5054-EX.
Site-43 is also the centre of containment efforts for GoI-5889, Vikander-Kneed Technical Media. Absolutely nothing is known about the origins or motivations of this group, but their effect on the wider American media landscape is all too clear. VKTM produces media which drives people insane, picks away at their insecurities, pokes fun at their failings, and generally unsettles people to unclear ends. What's more, they seem all too aware that 43 is on their case. A good primer article isSCP-5889.
Time Periods: There are three main time periods covered by this canon, roughly defined:
Crossovers — On Guard 43 considers every canon that doesn't contradict most other canons to be… canon. If it doesn't shoot the setting into space, or break the Veil with kaiju, or say the Foundation never existed, it probably happened. That doesn't mean On Guard 43 exists in all those other universes; it doesn't need to work both ways. Crossing over with other canons is encouraged!
S&C Plastics in particular is a great fit. In fact, S&C Plastics is hard canon for On Guard 43. If you don't like Site-87, Site-43 probably isn't going to be for you.
Elements of Resurrection are hard canon. ETTRA, introduced in theOld Foes splinter, is a major component of Words of Power and Poison. As theNew Faces splinter is hard canon to Old Foes, the whole kit and caboodle definitely happened in the context of On Guard 43.
AIAD, by virtue of the Limited Memory series which features Placeholder McDoctorate, is also hard canon.

Schmidt, Susanna (Aliases: Crocker, Elizabeth; Righting, Ophelia) | giftschreiber |
Former CIA operative, thorn in the side of the Foundation for the better part of the 1960s onwards.

Competence is her passion, Mathematics is more of a hobby. Daughter ofa well-known Director. Trying to live up to her name, with mixed results. | |
McDoctorate, Dir. Placeholder | Director; Pataphysics Dept., Archetypicals Division |
Can always tell a good story. Inventor of the Placeholder Exploratory Engine,The REISNO Cannon,several Foundation AI conscripts, and the Narrative-Space-Time model of reality.

Saxon, Dr. Zachary Charles | Senior Researcher, Pataphysics Dept. |
Professional, consistent, and occasionally irritable. Assistant Director of Pataphysics. Unafraid of Place — they're not necessarily friends, but they have a strong working relationship. Slight neat freak. Expert in dimensional Pataphysics,saved a species of half-fictional characters. Seeks appreciation. | |
Stern, Holly Dean | Systems Technician, Site-87 |
An independent thinker; will either prove you right or prove you wrong. Occasionally the smartest, but always the most rational in the room. Specializes in computer science and electrical engineering. Notably, friends with Dr. Saxon. Strives to be unbound by expectations. | |

You don't need to add to some over-arching narrative to write for this canon. Maybe set something at 43, definitely vibrate on some of the same frequencies as the existing material, and you're good. If you do want to contribute to the two open series, though, there's a few things to keep in mind:
Harry would love to see anything you wanna write about Site-43. If it doesn't impinge on his so-called storyline, though, feel free to ignore the fuck out of him.
Grigori would love to see anything you wanna write about VKTM.Grigori would love to see anything you wanna write about VKTM.
Queerious would love to see anything you'd want to write about Heather Garrison, 'absence' or anything else within her funky little splinter canon. While the main books of Heather and Lillian are planned out, you can add your voice to the chorus and help define the Margins and boundaries ofForgotten Memories. Feel free to reach out to her with any questions!
Placeholder's seriesis Placeholder's series. The man has plans. If you would like to write something relating to the Archetypicals Division (for example, naming and employing them in the containment of a metanarrative anomaly), contact Placeholder McD via wikidot pm. We may be able to work something out.
If you want to add something you wrote to the hub, use the following code:
[[div class="bubble"]]++ **[[[SCP-XXXX]]]: The Series Title**A description! Hopefully one that either fits on one line, or fits //well// on two. If you fuck that up, Harry's probably going to rewrite it on you. He's probably not gonna ask nicely. He's like that, I'm afraid.[[/div]]
If you're not sure what you've come up with fits into the existing series… good! Add it under "Canadian Cont(ainm)ent." That's where non-series stuff goes. If you end up writing a whole damnthing eventually, we'll give you your own spiffy collapsible and banner. We're nice hosts like that.
Bug Harry when you post something and he'll do you up a little icon like the other entries have. He works fast.
