SCP stands for "Secure, Contain, Protect," which is a fictional organization featured in a collaborative writing project. The SCP Foundation is dedicated to identifying, capturing, and containing anomalous objects, entities, and phenomena that pose a threat to humanity. Each anomaly is assigned a unique SCP number and documented in a report detailing its properties and containment procedures. The SCP Foundation operates under strict secrecy, often using scientific and military methods to manage these anomalies. The stories often explore themes of horror, science fiction, and the unknown, with various characters, including researchers and agents, interacting with the SCPs. Popular SCPs include SCP-173, a statue that moves when not observed, and SCP-682, a highly intelligent and hostile reptilian creature.
