The ultimate authority. They oversee operations and have access to the Command Tablet to issue orders or promote personnel.
(Players argue. Voices raise. Agent Cole draws his gun on Dr. Fisk. Researcher Varma tries to reach D-9921.)
Checks his rifle. “Why not just flood the cell with gas? It’s a painter, not a dragon.”
"Because he has nothing to lose, and you have expensive training. Subject 4421, you step onto the first stair. What do you see?"
The GM should follow the Foundation's own maxim: tell them only what they need to know, and only when they need to know it. Don't reveal the full document for a new SCP.

(The GM describes the scene. Players introduce their characters.)
Format: Turn-based action or freeform narrative. Solving the problem rarely involves shooting. It involves a "re-containment procedure" (e.g., singing a lullaby, counting to 10,000, or not blinking).

(The scene opens with Dr. Vance standing behind a thick pane of reinforced ballistic glass. He adjusts his lab coat and clicks a button on his intercom. Inside the containment chamber, D-9302 sits at a steel table. On the table rests a anomalous velvet box, classified as SCP-XXXX.)
Security will monitor your vitals. If you hear three chimes over the intercom, a containment breach is in progress. Evacuate immediately.

The SCP universe is vast and complex, with a rich lore that includes various factions, objects, and entities. Familiarize yourself with the core concepts, such as:
Crafting the Ultimate SCP Roleplay Script: A Guide for Creators
Give us the card, D-9302. We survive together, or we burn together.
: Map these specific character cues to chat commands or automated NPC dialogue loops to trigger specific map events (like light changes or glass breaking).
