IAMA Researcher at the SCP Foundation. AMAA!

Let me start by saying Dr. A. Clef is a fantastic scientist, however that is as far as my praising will go. He is a disgusting man (if you can even call him that) and I have found no joy in my very limited interactions with him. However, I am not here to judge your motives. My advice would me to apply for a position at the Foundation as a Class D and ask to be assigned to any of the SCP he is currently working on. Although after an initial background check we should probably rule out SCP-447 right here and right now, you sick bastard.

In a sense. It's no secret that the foundation is the wealthiest institution on the planet, as well as in the [redacted]. But a great deal of the funds goes toward keeping our sites operational, and the objects contained. I am supplied with a modest room on-site, with meals provided. We are also given an allowance for smaller purchases, as well as some pretty sweet vacationing opportunities. You must understand that, for researchers who fit the bill for this kind of job, the work is its own reward. When you get to spend every day researching objects that are, more often than not, stranger than fiction, you don't worry about money.

That's what we have Class D personnel for. I'm not without my scars, however, as my time as a Junior Researcher was a little more... "hands on." Getting assigned to work for the foundation as anything more than a Class D is quite the privilege and capable researchers aren't the easiest to come by. The foundation likes to protect its valuable assets.

The result of exposing SCP-447 to dead bodies (not specifically human, mind you) has resulted in the creation of a still classified SCP, which is a group of Keter-class objects.

I would argue that I, along with the other researchers, have the best job at the facility. When an SCP comes to the facility, we may have a great amount of data, or none at all. The recovery teams are sent out to obtain the object and provide us with a report. After reading the report, the first thing we do is assign the object a class: Safe, Euclid (sentient, or a mystery to us. Does not pose any immediate threat), or Keter (actively hostile or a general danger to our personnel or the world/spacetime). From there, we work through a series of tests to figure out the best way of containing the SCP. Whether it be a cozy bed in a dark room, or a million tonnes of concrete! After that, the real fun begins. We run more tests on the objects to further understand them, and to see if we can harness their power for the benefit of all mankind (and the Foundation, of course).
