Extrasolar Activities

BeholderProgram.gif

Chair:

One of the primary motivating factors for the initiation of Project Heimdal was the concerns raised by SCP-1050's research and containment team. As such, Area-179 is one of the primary facilities responsible for relevant operations. As such, the facility has been provided with a direct contact line to the Beholder Prgram's extraterrestrial surveillance network.
Integration Program

Slowly Changing Perspectives

Due to Area-179's proximity to Site-322, it has become one of the central facilities of the Integration Program.

Notable Incidents


To add:


Date: February 29th, 2006
Designation: Event-BRANDO-558
Description: D-691 is transported to SCP-5697-1; after rejecting the offered meal, the subject and SCP-5697 spent the event's duration smoking and discussing their respective pasts.
Additional Notes: Upon return, D-691 displayed a newfound interest in hobbies not previously observed, such as reading and writing.


Date: May 12th, 2012
Designation: Incident-5648-1
Description: SCP-5648 is discovered by Agent Matsumura, and subsequently appeared from a storage closet before the agent later that day.


Date: November 5th, 2013
Designation: Incident-2438-LAPINATE
Description: Instances of SCP-2438-1 bred in Exposure Trial 147 breach containment, spreading to multiple Foundation facilities around the world. Infected rabbits were observed digging burrows in the terrain surrounding Area-179, primarily near the SCP-1179 exclusion zone.



Date: December 24th, 2019
Designation:
Description: SCP-6483 overpowers local reality-anchoring infrastructure, initiating a Nativitatis Event within Site-322 and later proceeding to the neighboring Area-179.


Date: February 29nth, 2020
Designation: Incident I5035-A
Description: SCP-5035 breaches containment using instances of SCP-5035-A to disfigure and mutilate testing personnel in Lab 3F of sublevel-3's D-Wing. The lab's entry door was sealed shut, and re-containment was enabled by the intervention of Edward T. Dune. Object subsequently transferred to sub-level 9C and confined using a Chalmez-Forte Matter Stabilizing Stasis Gate; containment class thus updated to Euclid.


Date: February 16th, 2021
Designation: SCP-5215-1-3
Description: A manifestation of SCP-5215 is detected by Area-179 observatory systems in spite of the anomaly manifesting in a separate county. This prompts facility management to establish a temporary low-level anomaly testing program lasting from February 20th, 2021 to March 2nd, 2022, in order to develop a more clear understanding of how the phenomenon operates.


Date of Incident: April 3rd, 2021
Designation: Incident-5293-01
Description: SCP-5293 breaches containment, causing major collateral damage to Area-179 and unknowingly kills Researcher Sauls.
Additional Notes: When asked about its feelings in regard to the death of Research Sauls, it simply stated that it wishes to kill him again. Investigation into the subject's sadistic tendencies is ongoing.


Date of Incident: December 3rd, 2022
Designation:
Description: Senior Researcher Richard Battaglia disappears, leading to the discovery of SCP-7034
