Plot

"Don't let the foundation down."

- OVERWATCH, Operation Red Skies

Task Force has a story-driven campaign included in the operations, going from the order of the listed operations, top to bottom:


 * Operation Red Skies
 * Operation Black Nightmare
 * Operation Clean Out
 * Operation Blind Eye

This page summarizes the plot as best as it can in its entirety, all included details don't need to be true and should be taken with a grain of salt.

The SCP Foundation
Main article: SCP Foundation The SCP Foundation is known to be a secret worldwide organization, containing anomalies (designated SCPs) that break the natural law from the public eye in order to not cause havoc outside of their facilities. The Foundation has employed researchers to test on SCPs to discover their behavior, may they be hostile or friendly towards test subjects that are used for said SCPs. The SCP Foundation has forces that take care of incidents like in Operation Red Skies, and that's what the players also play as:

Mobile Task Forces
Main article: Mobile Task Forces

MTF, for short, has a range of task forces that deal with various threats, may that include combat against hostile threats or recontainment of breached SCPs, or a mix of both. The involved task forces in these operations are currently Epsilon-11, Alpha-1, Beta-7 and Eta-10 (in order of appearance in operations).

The character OVERWATCH, presumably the Overseer that is in control of the Mobile Task Force's operations or a directorate, stays up close with the squads included, informing them of any updates and additional information on the operations they're currently conducting.

Canonically, the same players that appear in one operation don't appear in another, since they are still operating in the same task force they've been deployed in as.

The Overseer Council
Main article: Overseer Council

The Overseers, or O5s as part of their numeral designation, are the top-ranking personnel that take control of the entire Foundation and know about everything there is to know about the operations they commence. Some Overseers are considered anomalous, whilst some are considered normal. With this known, they're to be secured tightly, not exposing them anywhere where they could be in threat due to how much information they have ahold of. In the plot, however, this is pretty much the case.

The only Overseer we get to hear about specifically is O5-4.

Foundation Personnel
Foundation personnel are often involved in operations before the incident, as they operate normally in research facilities. Said Foundation personnel are commonly just researchers, but can vary in roles as it's a general role (may they be janitors, security etc.).

The Chaos Insurgency
Main article: Chaos Insurgency The Chaos Insurgency, CI for short, is a pack of rogue Alpha-1 operatives that have defected to cause havoc in the SCP Foundation after what they've seen during their stay there. The insurgency also consists of other personnel and not just Alpha-1 operatives, including escaped Class-D personnel, former intelligence members and warring militia members. Their main goal is to take use of the Class-D Personnel themselves, releasing them. Additionally, they capture SCPs as torture devices, and Foundation Personnel for interrogation.

In the plot, they are responsible for antagonizing a war between both major parties, including themselves, by infiltrating Site-19 and capturing O5-4, making themselves a bigger target than they always have been.

The United Nations Global Occult Coalition
Main article: UNGOC

The Global Occult Coalition is an organization under the direct control of the United Nations and is tasked with 'defending humanity' from Anomalies, however they call them 'Parathreats'. The GOC formed out of the Allied Occult Initiative following the seventh occult war, a shadow war which occurred during World War 2, and consists of one hundred and eight anomalous organisations, forming the Council of 108. The GOC does not share the foundations view of researching anomalous objects, instead they believe destruction of said objects is the best course of action for Humanity.

In the plot they seem to be hostile toward MTF operators, suggesting there might be a conflict between the two organizations.

Class-D Personnel
Even though they technically count as Foundation personnel, Class-Disposable personnel are considered test subjects to the Foundation and are completely separate, considering their authorization and power below normal Foundation personnel. Canonically, Class-D personnel are used as test subjects being tested on SCPs for a better understanding of the anomaly. In Operation Red Skies, they're seen rebelling against the squad with light firearms.

Prelude - Operation Red Skies
In an unknown time, the Chaos Insurgency has infiltrated Site-19 and caused a ruckus across the whole research facility, releasing Class-D personnel and arming them with light firearms and taking Foundation personnel hostage to buy the Chaos Insurgency more time, capturing O5-4 in the process to their Antarctic base.

After some time, Epsilon-11 is deployed to secure the site of all hostile threats and turn off the lockdown. Along the way, they've discovered the O5's office almost entirely bloody with the label "COME FIND HIM" written in blood behind the desk, with the Chaos Insurgency's logo displayed on the left. OVERWATCH acknowledges and informs that Alpha-1 will be on their way to rescue the O5.

E-11 stick to their objective and complete the operation. This is where the hunt begins.

On The Rescue - Operation Black Nightmare
The time is 1735 hours. An Alpha-1 squad infiltrates a Chaos Insurgency base, formerly Site-07, through an abandoned mineshaft and eliminates many insurgents along the way, finding information about the Chaos Insurgency's plot to infect Foundation sites with stolen instances of SCP-008 in the control room on the way.

The O5 is rescued and the squad fights through infected Class-D and Foundation personnel, equipping themselves and the O5 with gas masks due to the contamination.

Once the squad arrives on the surface, they take out the remaining forces and then destroy the remaining AA guns, allowing the squad to exfiltrate.

Janitor Service - Operation Clean Out
After the organized biohazardous attack against Site-07, Beta-7 is dispatched to disable the ventilation control system, terminate the remaining Chaos Insurgents left behind and all of the infected whilst rescuing the live ones, still in their emergency respirators.

Having the majority of the spores neutralized, the operative experiences what appears to be a flashforward scene with them being the last one sitting next to a wrecked helicopter in a snow cave, with OVERWATCH not being present with the operative. After the operative suddenly passes out, eventually gaining consciousness, the operative reports their flashforward to OVERWATCH, just to be appointed to a psychological evaluation post-operation and advised not to think about it any further.

The operation carries on as normal with the ventilation control system shut down, concluding it as a success. During exfil, the operative asks OVERWATCH if the flashforward was true. However, OVERWATCH dismisses it as an eruption and cuts off comms with the operative, assuming he was fed up with the topic.

Blind Man's Buff - Operation Blind Eye
After SCP 096 breached containment from an unknown site, Eta-10 has dispatched a recontainment unit to find 096, they didn't report back. A second unit is dispatched in order to find 096 and the missing squad, which is dubbed as 'MIA'.

On arrival the Eta-10 squad heads toward a house which OVERWATCH says harbours a GOI, group of interest. The squad members take down three guards on the outside before proceeding into the building through the basement. Evidence of torture is found slightly suggesting that Sarkicism is at play. The squad finds a laptop and runs directly into the United Nations Global Occult Coalition in a nearby town. After dealing with the UNGOC, and their heavy firepower, they head toward a supply drop of SCRAMBLE gear, finding a cave nearby. The cave has a deceased corpse inside with a 'callsign' directly mirroring the operative who found them.

The squad continues to the area where 096 was last seen, a campfire is still burning nearby suggesting the last squad was there not so long ago. The squad searches for 096, finding it and bagging it.
