"Mankind in its present state has been around for a quarter of a million years, yet only the last 4,000 have been of any significance. So, what did we do for nearly 250,000 years? We huddled in caves and around small fires, fearful of the things that we didn't understand. It was more than explaining why the sun came up, it was the mystery of enormous birds with heads of men, and rocks that came to life.

Something has gone wrong in one of the Foundation's largest facilities. The building personnel have vanished for reasons unknown. SCPs that are meant to be kept under lock and key simply... aren't. And strangers of all kinds--most of whom have never even heard of the Foundation--have entered the facility through means unknown even to them.
Security, it's safe to say, has been compromised.
