New Passive SCP (Keter) > SCP-689 [Haunter in the Dark]

[Luke Holding 15]

All the current passive SCP's hold 1 common ground, they are marked as "Safe". With an introduction of a new passive SCP that is Keter it can mean more options for people on site and could boost activity.

The added benefit of this job being added, new job classes can be created to allow more of a variety.
"SCP-689 Observers" & "SCP-689 Protection Personnel".

The "SCP-689 Observers" will work as following:
- Spawn inside of SCP-689 CC and keep eye contact onto this SCP
- Failure to do so could lead to one of the personnel in the server who saw 689 could die due to 689.

The "SCP-689 Protection Personnel" will work as following:
- Have 2 slots open as Standard MTF units but 1 slot open as the Commander (Potential for WL job)
- They would maintain the security of this SCP at all times and in the event of a breach they would be tasked in terminating all the CL1 and lower personnel that have seen this SCP during the containment breach. (Red icons on their visors will identify those who are to be terminated)

How the containment of this SCP would work:
- 3 bright lights, connected to separate batteries to each other (to prevent possibility of a breach) would permanently keep this containment chamber open at all times.
- These 2 observers would be keeping regular eye contact onto this SCP to make sure that a containment breach does occur. 
- The Protection Personnel would be wearing specialised Helmets that make them blind but with technology of echolocation. Similar to 939. 
- Only CL3+ Researchers can test on this SCP with no exceptions being made. 
- The Site Director must grant any tests that are to be conducted on this SCP due to the high risk of a major containment breach (Even with SD off site, no testing's on this SCP should happen without their approval)
 

However, if containment has been breached, all personnel CL1 or below are to be instantly terminated if they have ever come into contact with this SCP. 

Due to the added risk of someone potentially breaching this SCP, a Key card with CL4+ Access (If added for v7 It can be Zone Manager+) is to be added onto the containment door to ensure there was SD approval. (Tactical Personnel specialising in the containment/Protection of SCP-689 would have 1 commander with CL4 key card).

No Given MTF name or insignia has been created for these personnel who protect or contain 689 but changes can be made to make them sound more professional. "MTF A-17 > Blind Hero's"

More information can be provided if requested, this is just a starting idea for a new addition. 

A current addon doesn't exist that is good for 689 but it should be easy to be made.

I like the concept and the SCP itself is interesting, but I don't think the idea will stand up well to playtesting. I mean, the Observer's entire purpose is to constantly stand watching a statue, so I don't know why anyone would choose that over D-Class. Creating an entire armed division with the sole purpose of guarding a single chamber and killing any low-level person who sees the SCP just isn't feasible. Also, if there are no competent Observers or Protection Personnel online, a chain-reaction (like the one mentioned in the article) could start, which I don't think would be brilliant to play against.

To respond to this, the way to have observers is quite simple. In the report at the top there were shifts of D class watching 689 in a process with incentive that if they did a good job they would have reduced sentence. How the d class can be selected for this measure is simple gathering from CDC by the Protection Personnel Present. Since such a high level is added onto the keycards also it prevents those of CL3 and lower being able to start a chain reaction due to them not having access.

This I understand, this is why I recommended it for v7 as adding it to v6 at this time is basically impossible. Also, with the idea of terminating all low level personnel who saw it does sound possible but with a system like 096 it is possible. So if anyone looks at the statue like when they look at 096's face they turn up on the HUD's of the Protection Personnel. Then if their is a containment breach they are able to proceed with that process as they are able to know who has seen the statue due to a similar process being in affect like with 096 and if someone does see its face.

Again a Valid Point made, this is why the planned incentive process can be used for the observers and another option for competent Protection Personnel could be a Similar system to how A-1 gain their members. It would work as follows, Making the job WL specific and hold forum applications or Invite only. This would allow competent Protection Personnel to be there at all times. Also relating back to there being competent Observers, there could be the option of having a separate containment procedure to what is stated in the article. Giving the Dev team the option to do what they wish as a containment procedure to a Passive Keter SCP. Still need to think about this issue as not had much time to think of it but there is always a solution, just the only one so far I can think of is to provide incentives for them performing their job.

We have 012 and 513 which are euclid and only 500 and 1025 (ex keter) which are safe
