[A/N] Check out SCP Illustrated for the video.

"I want to read more SCP stories!" Ruby said coming back through the dorm room to see SCP-173 standing in the middle of the room.

"Are you sure that's wise, Ruby? If these things can be transported into our world by us reading them, then shouldn't we NOT read these stories? There is no logic or reason behind the fact of us reading these besides potentially having others come into serious harm or injury." Weiss interrupted as she also came into the room.

"But, on the other hand, if we find a good story then we can help people better and possibly make more friends." Ruby said confidently.

"Actually that's... A good idea..." Weiss replied.

"How about we click on something that is trusted by this 'Foundation'. Let's choose the Mobile Task Force read." Blake said scrolling up on the laptop.

*scared nut noises*

"The following data release has been authorized by the following council members and administration staff." The voice said as a bunch of names appeared for only a second before the video continued.

MOBILE TASK FORCES

"Hope this is interesting." Yang said pulling up a few chairs for everyone to sit on.

"Mobile Task Forces are elite units comprised of personnel drawn from across the Foundation and are mobilized to deal with specific threats or situations that sometimes exceed the operational capacity or expertise of regular field personnel and, as their name suggests, may be relocated between facilities or locations as they are needed. Mobile Task Force personnel represent the 'best of the best' of the Foundation."

The screen showed the picture of a man in a mask and black clothes with a gun pointing in the direction of the camera.

"Best of the best, huh? So these are the specially trained people that contain and do all the dirty work?" Blake questioned.

"Mobile Task Forces vary greatly in size, composition, and purpose. A battalion-strength combat-oriented task force trained to deal with highly aggressive anomalous entities may consist of hundreds of troops plus support personnel, vehicles, and equipment and can be deployed in whole or in part to deal with threats across the globe."

"So I'm guessing it's a secret police that is everywhere at all times." Weiss said. "And 'hundreds' to deal with just one aggressive entity?"

"Probably only if the entity is really dangerous." Yang answered.

The screen then shows the behind view of a police officer.

"However, a Mobile Task Force can also be a small, specialized intelligence-gathering or investigative task force that may have fewer than a dozen personnel if that is deemed sufficient to accomplish their goals. While in the field, task force members often pose as emergency responders, local or federal law enforcement, or military personnel appropriate to the region in which they are operating. Mobile Task Force Commanders can also request the assistance of local field units or personnel stationed at nearby Foundation facilities in order to accomplish their missions."

"So that proves my guess." Blake said.

"Each unit is fundamentally structured in a way that best suits their intended purpose. While combat-oriented task forces may closely follow military hierarchy and organization, smaller units may have an informal or otherwise esoteric chain of command."

"What's esoteric?" Ruby asked.

"A group that is understood by only a small number of people with certain knowledge or interest." Weiss replied.

The picture once again changes to a man on one knee pointing a rifle.

"As such, the responsibilities of the Mobile Task Force Commander for each particular task force can vary greatly; the commander for a large task force might focus on maintaining multiple teams and deploying them as necessary to each assigned operation, whereas the commander of a small team might deploy with their team and direct the operation from on location."

'Makes sense.' Most of them thought.

"Similarly, the cohesion of each unit will vary as well. Some Mobile Task Forces consist of personnel who have trained and worked for many years or even decades together, whereas the personnel of a Mobile Task Force formed on a moment's notice to deal with a specific incident may know little more than each others' names and fields of expertise."

"So they sometimes don't even know each other?" Ruby asked.

"Sometimes there's an emergency, they can't be together all the time." Yang said to her sister.

"Mobile Task Forces are typically commissioned as deemed necessary by the Foundation's Director of Task Forces, often with the direct approval of one or more O5 Council members."

The screen shows a scuba diver-esk man.

"What's the 05 Council?" Blake questioned.

"Seems like some people important." Weiss replied.

"A significant number of Mobile Task Forces are created to deal with specific anomalies exhibiting traits that standard containment or response teams are unable to effectively counteract, though many were also created to preempt an emerging or theoretical threat."

"So they take measures against things they have yet to prove actually exist?" Ruby asked.

"I guess so." Yang answered.

"Mobile Task Forces created for the purpose of containing a particular anomaly are typically deactivated at the end of the recovery operation or when ongoing containment is deemed no longer necessary." The screen shows a robot looking man. "Occasionally, such task forces remain operational if the expertise and experiences learned are considered useful for future incidents, but otherwise the task force will likely be disbanded and its personnel returned to their prior posts."

"That guy looks cool. He's like a robot!" Ruby outbursted.

"Very rarely, a Mobile Task Force will also be disbanded if it suffers sufficient casualties to render it incapable of operation. In these cases, if the prior capability of that particular task force is deemed necessary, a new task force may be commissioned to replace it."

Mobile Task Force List

"I'm guessing this part is all the different Task Forces and what they're supposed to do." Weiss said.

"MTF Alpha-1 ("Red Right Hand")
Task Force Mission: Mobile Task Force Alpha-1 is a task force that reports directly to the O5 Council and is used in situations that require the strictest operational security. The task force consists of the Foundation's best and most loyal operatives. Further information regarding MTF Alpha-1 is classified Level 5.

...

Level 5 classification identified. Information shared."

"OOoooOooOOOo. Secret stuff!" Ruby squealed.

"I feel like we're digging a bit too deep." Blake responded.

"We've already gone so far, why turn back now?" Yang questioned.

"Indeed. I believe we need to know more about these people in case if we need to effectively capture hostile SCPs that have breached into our world." Weiss explained.

"In 1924, the SCP Foundation formed a covert special task force, known only to the O5 Council, codenamed the 'Insurgency.' The leadership of the Insurgency was comprised of members of MTF Alpha-1, the Red Right Hand, famed for their loyalty to the O5 Council and the total secrecy of their origins, identities, and operations. The Insurgency leadership was supported by research, security, and retrieval personnel, all taken from Foundation ranks."

"1924? That was a looongg time ago." Ruby mentioned.

"To the majority of the Foundation and the anomalous world, the Insurgency was a splinter group that went A.W.O.L. with several researchers and anomalous objects."

Blake was reminded about a certain group that also changed their views.

"In reality, the O5 Council had created the Insurgency to complete missions with ethically questionable methods and politically unsavory results—while keeping the Foundation's public reputation clean."

"So they use this group called the 'Insurgency' to do all the morally unacceptable things while the Foundation itself stays in good reputation?" Weiss asked.

"Sounds a lot like a few things your company does with it's controversial labor forces." Blake answered the heiress.

"Hmph..."

"For approximately twenty-four years, the Insurgency operated under the guise of Foundation defectors, using anomalous objects to secretly further the goals of the O5 Council."

"So they never truly left." Yang pondered.

"In 1948, as part of a seemingly routine staged operation, the Insurgency removed several SCP objects from Foundation containment and transported dozens of defecting Foundation researchers to various safe locations. That same day, multiple other unplanned raids of Foundation facilities occurred. The Insurgency seized SCP objects with great research and military potential and inflicted severe casualties to Foundation personnel."

'This seems like something bad.' Ruby thought.

"The Foundation's biggest lie had become a reality. Their covert black ops team had defected, and the Foundation faced a new threat from an organization now calling itself by a new name: the Chaos Insurgency. The O5 Council was stunned. The defection or even the slightest hint of disloyalty from Red Right Hand personnel had been unprecedented. The motives behind the Insurgency's betrayal remain unknown to the Foundation. All attempts to find, apprehend, or assassinate the defecting Insurgency operatives failed. This information is classified within the Foundation, which maintains that the Insurgency defected in 1924 and that the actual defections in 1948 were simply raids made by the already-existing splinter organization."

"The name Chaos Insurgency sounds cool though." Ruby said to the others.

"Alright, now onto the other groups." Blake continued.

"MTF Alpha-4 ("Pony Express")
Task Force Mission: Mobile Task Force Alpha-4 consists primarily of personnel trained to act as undercover employees and specialize in tracking, intercepting, and securing anomalous objects sent through postal and package delivery services worldwide."

"That's simple, they just chase after the mail." Yang said.

"MTF Alpha-9 ("Last Hope")
Task Force Mission: The reborn Omega-7. A Mobile Task Force explicitly intended to train and utilize humanoid SCP objects in the field."

"Weird name." Ruby pointed out.

"So sometimes they even use SCPs to hunt other SCPs?" Blake pondered.

"MTF Beta-4 ("Castaways")
Task Force Mission: MTF Beta-4 is a task force created with the sole purpose of assisting and monitoring GoI-466 (Wilson's Wildlife Solutions) in their interactions with local fauna-based anomalies."

"Faunus? Like Blake?" Ruby questioned.

"No, Ruby. Faunus and Fauna are different things. Faunus are people with animal characteristics while Fauna are plants and indigenous animals." Blake responded calmly.

"Oh."

"MTF Beta-7 ("Maz Hatters")
Task Force Mission: Mobile Task Force Beta-7 specializes in the acquisition and containment of anomalies exhibiting extreme biological, chemical, or radiological hazards as well as the rapid containment and cleanup of areas affected by such anomalies. This includes the planning and deployment of contingencies for wide-area or pandemic spread of anomalous disease agents or other contagious phenomena."

"The chemical cleaners I guess." Yang said.

"MTF Gamma-5 ("Red Herrings")
Task Force Mission: Mobile Task Force Gamma-5 specializes in preventing the dissemination of knowledge of anomalous events or phenomena in cases where initial suppression efforts have proven ineffective or insufficient, or in cases where such knowledge has already reached critical levels of public exposure. This includes the research and deployment of experimental amnestics as well as memory fabrication procedures."

"Wait. They alter memories to make people forget about slightly bizarre stuff?!" Weiss blurted out.

"That's just not right..." Blake said with the other nodding in agreement.

"I don't feel like I can go on with this... Why don't we read something else less boring?" Ruby asked.

"Sure."
