Voidform lore
Monday, August 14, 2023 | 21:24

General.

Foundation detected an energy disturbance, increase in hume with a dead drop, found a crystal (designation to be given)

Crystal interacts with the staff, CM stole it and waltzed it across the base
Foundation received an unknown doc, seemingly attached to the crystal. Interaction between doc and crystal not understood.
Doc terminated.
Crystal kept growing, having gold bands attached. Crystals intercommunicated. They communicated with Research, especially Engallagher (?!)
The woods wish to destroy what Foundation keeps dear
Eventually, the crystal left.

No proper report given in thus far (til this)
CCTV show the crystal acknowledges different GoI, referring to itself as a Catalyst
Lack of D-class found a week later, which made ethics conduct rituals to bring D-class from "doomed worlds".
Severe PTSD and burn wounds detected from ppl gotten from it.
Another dimension was from dominance-shift K-class

They also pulled a shadow figure, in a suit, with a smile. Entering the circle broke electricity and thauma, inducing psychosis. Leaving the circle, showed interest. Room got cold and dry, lights stopped working, electricity didn't function well. Not a human (duh). It was visibly 'bored', seeking 'entertainment'. 7 MTF and CM were killed, entity unharmed saying 'poor response'. No further term attempts.

Entity eventually moved on, calling itself an Ambassador (of what was to come). He was already here; Mentioned Cameron and Stoker, one being Serpent's Hand, with disdain towards him, GOC and others.
The other was an employee, without expanding on it. Saw a need to terminate CI
Creature waved goodbye to site advisor, leaving.

Later, creature appears 4 more times, observing or mocking, talking about energy and souls, leaving note: reason is it was hungry. "Fat lizard would sate me"
Creature never introduced itself by name, CI eventually identified smth of name "Fragment" an Administrator of CI to keep track of 'em.


LRT incident
A door was found outside the perimeter, simple and unguarded, connected to computer. Pass fragmented to GOC CI and F. Mentions of a creature inside, "blackout prison complex"
Creature called itself "Many Things" or "Archivist", "puppeteer", "dead man"
GOC said there was another door, creature causes mischief to CI
F got familiar with Long Range Teleportation (LRT) team, a subfaction of Archon Laboratories inc.
A pseudo-megacorp led by AI ("Archon") said one dim is not enough.
Subgroups run from the AI, have paratech way better than GOC, and have good rel with them. Not stopped from being cooperative

F stormed a door, finding a humanoid creature, an android, in a mechanical room.
There were symbols on the doors, referred to as "Seals"
It had a Lobby, used as a hub for authed teleportations, dealing with tp maint and securing ppl from blackout complex. Creature inside was "anti-existence" ("1 = 0")
Used fragments of void, experimented for what was actually termination of void matter
Images recovered from how it was used like
Man levitating in a tank, with seals around 'em, containment attempt.
Cont methods were on display, until GOC bronk 'em
Tp every 0.5sec in another universe.
GOC hit the shit with super reality anchor
Obsessive cultists from CI who worshipped the creature, found a way to hijack the code and stopping the sys and halting the door, disabling life inhibitors.
Guard droids dispatched later. F staff entered with force and 7th cont method. F staff weren't there, GOC reported that tho.

Later, F staff (Charles) entered the complex with LRC hacked doors blackout hijacked. 3 defensive measures ("bane of its existence") were up but na.
He walked in and was afflicted; His soul took damage from entering the area cuz anti-life field, void entered the space; charles called "provisional catalyst"
Stasis 2, demise orb droid 2, the runic wall??!?!?
Why contained? "it offended someone it didn't like"

F got report of an object containing anomalous power. Archon Lab teams said comms hijacked by CI and blackout, mentioned Catalyst, which were "reverse-engineered elder god", made by thauma, paratech and others, taking chunks of "god-killer flesh" used to power cells. Catalysts were both locks and keys, if runes and catalysts were met by Corrupted, or those affected by void influence, releasing them and rendering the thing uncontainable, as pairs were unique. The current head of LRC labs was Dr. William Blake.

Later, F found Archon AI, calling F "blatant incompetence", asking if they WANT the universe destroyed, as they ignored CI. Some bs was hostile faction, wanting to release the monster.
Futhermore, the monster shouldn't be allowed to exit, page forwarded for blackout complex.
After F gross negligence, complex was unstable.
Voidspawn ("voidform") come from the void; Resilience against guns, thauma, anomalous energy => dangerous to staff and SCPs. Higher in order = higher power.
Archon can term voidspawn with "chipped wood" ammo, which they safeguard info from us, efficient only against weakest voidspawn. Otherwise, it would "Suffice for now" "if we don't fuck this up"

Prevolent 3-hexagon shape Archon labs have.
Voidspawn said Charles should keep his hands out of the void, so he wouldn't risk his life. His life would be a problem, and he would be 'sorted out' if Charles "stood" a problem.
He ignored the threats and only tried to avoid the creature. CI encountered "the collector", who had a heavy MG, who eventually corrupted a Catalyst.
Corrupted runes look different, turning black and purple, color of the void. Charles rallied ppl to stop CI operations. He finally managed to keep a Catalyst out of void hands.

An operative from blackout came, angy, an infiltrator, who could shapeshift and got close to Charles. He successfully terminated Charles, but medical made him able to walk it off. Recovered in 3 days.
A man in black-purple beret, saying this is where war begins.
Shortly after, F conducts operation "Cancelled Delivery" when black order insurgence sent deliveries, F and Jagerbombers shot smth and got a catalyst, GOC got 2.
GOC acquired an archon container of a third catalyst. "The Computer" (intl database) was recovered, A-1 acquired it, probs went to O5.

A member "Cade" met with an operative, there was an A1 look-alike made of a blackish liquid, had 2 purple eyes, protecting and saving the member. Creature only threatened charles as undertone.
Shortly after, F was confronted with a proposition. Computer was nearly taken by F and an O-1 operative gave void a catalyst to be consumed.
GOC tried cleansing ritual, which was disrupted. CI stole all 3 GOC catalysts.



Major Corruption Incident
Multiple catalysts were vulnerable, some being active, some 'vulnerable', some corrupted.
Archon said catalysts can be "destroyed", which is a threat that should be considered.
A device was made to try to defend

A creature appeared, known to us as 'dead man', who was high-ranking and enjoys staying in Foundation. Serves as main info source for void.
Referred to Cade as "Cameron Stoker", mentioning blackout is a threat to all, calling ppl lunatics

A month back, a blackout op was captured and interrogated
Manifested hands, screaming, reaching in that blackout insurgency was split into 2 groups:
•	"offices" (humanoid, defectants, want to evacuate)
•	"enlisted" (against foundation)

One would die of a heart attack, knowing it beforehand, disintegrated

Charles' life threatened again, said his time is 0 and also infinite, heralded by specter of death and voidspawn


Thing came, calling itself "Ghost", very chatty unlike the rest. People thought he was bad but no
Big computers are known as "Shards". Called other shards "brothers"
All shards are pieces of the creature inside. None saw og creature, just specters of it.
A shard tried to mimic the original, calling himself "Him", "Dead man walking", but real name is "Fragment", and the only "articicial" brother

Not all people in void are 'willingly' in void.
Ghost confirmed fragments are the equivalent of O5 within the void, the original being akin to their leader.
Ghost divulged info that the Catalysts are pieces of OG's personality, ghost being his "kindness".
Fragment is nothing to him.
Dead man ("Archivist") is the fragment of knowledge, knows a lot the original did, inheriting his sarcastic humor too. Shares a past with Cade
A council member was working with "the hand" making a joke about serpent's hand, mocking their efforts.

Ghost confirms 3 other brothers in the city:
•	Militant (Johnson Marauder) - Nothing to do with original; A person the original elevated as a sign of respect. Basically a chad. Even before becoming void monster, he was powerful as an SCP without powers. With powers, "only gods know what the fuck he can do to us". Although Militant is cool with void, he will fuck Foundation up.
•	P - Doesn't like his full name.
•	Infiltrator - already infiltrated orgs, puppeteering them around.
•	Construct (#4?!) - part of church of the broken god. Says physical augments are boring, uses paratech like Cortex, believes things are stronger than flesh, using void energy to create mechs. Is worshipped by Ghost. Described as "no nonsense" goal getter, doing his job properly. Distant but efficient person, embodies F model of 'cold but not cruel'. Believes in cybertech superiority without forcing it on ppl. Best tinkerer of the Shards, Archivist being the second best thaumaturge.
•	Revenant - best thauma of the group. Nothing much else known


The Incident
CI used ritual object, Adonic Obelisk, which blackout delivered by heli, trying to break the creature out.
Almost worked - 2 catalysts destroyed.
Archon labs cooped with GOC, making it clear they like 'em better, assisting 'em in defending against CI.

All creatures became stronger, void appeared less and less. What they wanted from Foundation, they got.
Rumors say void tries to make deals with F personnel. Shady things happen, void biding its time. Advised to terminate the Woods.



Voidforms don't see people, instead see souls and energy, in the form of little orbs of these colors:
Light-Blue - any regular human
Dark-Red - Scarlet King followers
dark-Grey - Significantly augmented person
silver - church of the Broken God
Light-green - The Serpent's Hand
Blue & diffuse colors - Reality Bender
Light-red + Red - sarkic people
Purple-Black - void
White - the Woods
Hollow blue - O5 council members
Gold + 13 blue pieces in the middle - The old man


Thesaurus for terms used by Void:

The Old man = the O5s boss
False kings = O5
Honest mistake = Chaos Insurgency
Followers of a dead God = any GOI which worships a God
