SCP Foundation

An article I'm working on got me thinking about how the Foundation deals with serious transgressions in policy. Something serious enough that in a normal company would get someone fired and/or sued. We've all read about being demoted to D-Class and getting assigned to Keter duty, but those are artefacts of lolfoundation and not really to be taken seriously. So, really, how does the Foundation do it?

Case in point: in my article, a Research Assistant's negligence causes the deaths of two D-Class assigned to him as well a severe danger to several others and potential damage to facilities and equipment. If this were to happen in a regular company, said RA would be fired and most likely have civil, if not criminal, charges brought against him.

Some people may already familiar with the solution I came up with, but I'd like to see what other people think about how the Foundation would handle this. What do you do with someone who can't stay around, but has potentially damaging information?

Demotion to D-Class actually does make sense, especially after a mind-wipe or whatever. Of course, that's only in situations where they'd want to kill the fuckup. In situations where they'd want to just get him (or her) out of the way, they'd probably send them somewhere where fucking up won't cause much damage (see "Antarctica Duty," above).

Mind-wipe, then pull strings to give them a life sentence at the local Supermax? Logically they would then be a no-no for D-Class recruitment (unless the accepted rule is that it's only death-row people.)

Come to think of it, they might even just have black-sites full of disgraced researchers, Insurgency spies and art terrorists.

I just thought of something that could be even scarier.

Permanent 231 duty.

I think I posted something about this in a (much less coherent) past post, but there's a lot of options. Amnesticization, demotion (with potential loss of security clearance), reassignment, having their entire Foundation tenure pharmaceutically obliterated and living out their mundane life under continued surveillance.

I think probably the Foundation's most likely response is major amnesticization (talking in the 10 months to years range) and reassignment to a role in which they do not have the responsibility necessary to make similar future behavior a danger. This is following a you-can't-be-fired-from-the-Foundation world, and the entire idea is future damage mitigation rather than punishment. (Imo punishment is the realm of the Ethics Committee, and is usually for pretty big infractions and intentional malevolence.)

So, in my view, assuming their actions weren't malicious, this person would probably end up either taking care of a non-organic Safe SCP or pushed into some kind of administrative position handling non-critical information, with no memory of their work on the previous SCP. Edit: Their career track could continue upwards - fostering resentment is a security risk - but notes in their employment record would make it difficult for them to be put in a position of responsibility for peoples' lives.
