I will kiss whoever added the Front Runners. God bless! It's always awesome to see that anyone besides me enjoys my work enough to think of it!
Added three new units. I edited the first two in after realizing we didn't have enough actually scary task forces concepts. Tried to model them after some creepy pasta i read. The last one i put in just because i liked the pun.
Mobile Task Force Epilson-Niner (aka "The Midwifes") Monitor sperm banks and track donors. Responsible for the destruction or removal of non human reproduction materials given out under the guise of normal semen. Their name refers to their secondary function, when fertilization could not be prevented {DATA EXPUNGED}
I'm torn between the midwifes and the abortionists as a name. I can't decide which one grosses me out more. And if you don't think this is disturbing, three words for you: mewing spider babies. That is all.
Mobile Task Force Mike-Ait (aka "The Silencers") Find all forms of communication between graves and the surface, normally put into place as a precaution against accident burial, such as pipes, bells, and even phones, and sever them.
give a copse the means of contacting the world of the living and there is a chance… no matter how small…
Task Force November-Wun (aka "Cause and Effective") Very good at what they do, they are highly trained experts on probability, chance, and event manipulation. Specialize in using temporal anomalies, resolving time travel paradoxes, and the laws of causality.
Dose anyone know how long this site has been around since?
I was talking about this site just wondering how long it been around since it a cool site that all
Well, originally, it was a a wikipedia styled wiki that started this time last year.
It went over to the current site on the 19th of July.
So its been here a while…
Question: Are there any guidelines as to the naming of task forces?
Greek Letter - Number
Delta One
Omega Seven
Rho Nine
Epsilon Thirteen
Phi Ten Trillion
etc. etc.
Just a few things I noticed that I thought were odd:
- Is SCP-126 housed in Site-17 or in Site-19?
- Are SCP-044 and SCP-046 held in Sector-19 or in Reliquary Research and Containment Site-76?
- If SCP-026 is kept in Bio-Research Area-12, why does his entry say [DATA EXPUNGED] instead?
- Is SCP-053 housed in Site-17 or in Bio-Research Area-12?
- SCP-255 isn't listed as missing in its article. Why is Task Force Epsilon-4 listed as currently retrieving it?
and also, kappa-42 (lucky seven)'s entry said that there's three dead, two suicide and another terminated. What happened to the seventh?
Judging from the numbers, I'd imagine that that one survived.
The other positions, I assume, have not been filled as of yet.
Some task forces burn through new recruits faster than others, I would suspect.

You know what? Never in my wildest dreams did I think you would be the one to mention that first.
When I saw the Nassau's name, I looked it up on the other wiki.
USS Nassau, Tarawa Class Amphibious Assault Ship
That's no weather ship, it's a warship! Should it be changed?
Not only that, but she's still in commission with the USN. I'd recommend a retcon here - the USS Peleliu, another Tarawa-class, has been decommissioned. Perhaps she was placed back into service as a meteorologic research ship? She's a little large for the task, but the flight and well decks might be useful, particularly for SCP purposes.
Heck, in-universe, we could even say she's operated by the Coast Guard instead of the NOAA, in which case the weapons could be retained if that makes sense.
Armed Bio-Containment Area-03: Location of an underground Facility in Hakone, Japan built specifically to contain SCP-3001. Is under protection of the JSDF as well, with numerous stockpiles of Non-Nuclear and Nuclear weapons on-site, both to hold off invaders and to subdue SCP-3001 if necessary.
SCP-3001? You must be kidding me.
I feel obliged to register my discontent regarding MTF-γ5: "They're on our side, Sir!" I do not feel, first of all, that this nickname is consistent with the other ones in the list, in that task force monikers are generally usable as nicknames for individual team members; i.e. "You're a Mole Rat/Front Runner/City Slicker now" (also, "Welcome to 'They're on our side, Sir!'" doesn't work very well). The name is also noticably clumsier than the others, which are usually catchy, easy to remember, and have some relation to the task force's specialty.
Lastly, I do not believe Gamma-5 should be designated a Mobile Task Force. While control of the media is certainly a priority, Foundation plants would probably work best, and be easier to insert, alone, even if they were trained together. In addition, I was under the impression that mobile task forces were about the ability to use force in regions around the globe. Wouldn't media plants be rather stationary, not to mention unarmed?
It's an old joke.
"I want to name my [whatever] "they're on our side, sir!" and put it in big letters on [something visible]. the confusion should buy me time for a few extra shots."
The idea being that just as the battle commences, the commanding enemy officer will turn to someone and ask "what's that say?". cue confusion.
A fitting reference for a misinformation group, I think.
I'd always imagined G5 as the team whose job would be to sabotauge news crews/reports in cases of highly visible SCP activity in public areas. for example, if godzilla stormed central park, they'd be the small group of guys sedating cameramen and reporters, then administering amnesiacs and cover stories before they went on the air. You'd need a task force in that scenario. Undercover in various media sources probably means monitoring them for preparedness sake.
