Mass Effect: Containment Breach
AN: An Idea that popped into my head recently. After watching Cabin in the Woods and realizing how similar to SCP it seems I thought why don't I combine it with Mass Effect. The SCP Organization in this universe is a combination of the SCP Foundation and The Organization from Cabin in the Woods with a few personal changes on the organization's goals and structure. Monsters from both franchises will appear in this fic. I HAVE NOT abandoned my other fics and this one will probably be updated once in a blue moon. So without further ado lets get started.
Chapter 1: The Organization
Councilor Tevos looked out the window at the various ships docking with and leaving the Citadel. She made it into a small hobby to learn the styles of different species' shipbuilding techniques until she could identify them with a small glance. Volus Frigate. Turian Dreadnought. Salarian Freighter. Human Cruiser. Humans... A species that had only been apart of the Galactic Community for little over a decade. The humans were a wild card of a species. They could be as tactical as any Turian but combined it with ferociousness that would make a Krogan blush. They would make a fine Council Race in a few thousand years provided they could be controlled. That would no longer be a problem once Liress finds out..
Tevos was then forced out of her train of thought by the appearance of the Salarian Councilor Liress. Tevos hoped it was the information Liress said she would find. If anyone could find it it'll be her or the STG... Liress entered without a word and sat down at a conference table near the window. So far Liress has not said anything so she decided to start the conversation with a short but effective "Well?". Liress had still not said anything and appeared to be in a state of deep thought. "Liress have you found out about.."
"Wait until Sparatus gets here." Liress forcefully interrupted
"But have you.."
"Wait until Sparatus gets here." She said more forcefully than before. "He is already on his way"
Tevos mentally decided her questions can wait for a few minutes while Sparatus made his way here. He should be present when Liress reveals the information anyway. The minutes went by fairly quickly until the door lifted up to reveal the Turian Councilor Sparatus. He was a straight to the point person which was evident since he immediately asked "Do you have it? Do you know..."
"Sit" Liress interrupted again. This time it was not forceful or assertive but almost tiredly. Neither Tevos or Sparatus argued and quietly took their seats at the table. Wordlessly Liress activated her omni-tool and a screen on the wall activated and showed bodies. Numerous Salarian bodies seemingly tossed in the sand of what appeared to be a desert. The some of the bodies showed signs of being shot while others were quite simply mutilated. There was even a burlap sack that seemed to be filled with something mushy... "We found them in the Earth desert called the Mojave." said Liress "They were sent to find the information we requested on the human group called the 'SCP Organization'. A few days later there tracers were activated and we found them along with a message.
"A message?" asked Tevos struggling to keep her lunch down from the images she just seen.
"Yes a message from SCP. It was found at the scene. I have not seen it yet so it'll be a learning experience for all of us." she replied while playing it on screen.
The message was a simple text letter in the human language English.
They say curiosity killed the cat... Several of the salarians were shot when they tried to infiltrate our facility. The others were killed when they stumbled on to something they shouldn't. We can't have you continuing to send STG agents to our doorstep so we're willing to tell you what our group is about and to tour our facility so you'll see why we use such secrecy. There is a human soldier on the Citadel now called Captain David Anderson. He is one of our agents. Meet with him in person and say the phrase "The ones in the dark must be shown the light". He'll only be on the Citadel for a few days so that will be your deadline. Don't meet with him and we'll take that as a refusal and don't expect to get this offer again. If you do meet with him than we'll show you how far the rabbit hole goes...
There was a silence between them all as the Councilors privately thought of the pros & cons of the offer. Councilor Sparatus currently saw nothing but cons and was quick to voice them.
"The nerve of these humans" He said the word humans with obvious venom as he'd done many times before. "To make demands of us the Citadel Council"
"We must look at this from their perspective. We did send agents to infiltrate their base. They believe they are perfectly within their right to make demands." replied Tevos' diplomatic side. Truth be told she was also slightly insulted at their nerve but was better at hiding it.
"Tevos what would we look like going up to a random human captain in public and speaking some obvious code phrase?" he countered.
Tevos thought about that too. The media and conspiracy theorists were going to have a field day with this. She was 100% sure SCP knew this and did it just to embarrass them or was it for some other reason? She had no more time to dwell on it because a loud ping noise caused the attention of all the councilors to focus on the screen. The message was gone. Liress checked her omni-tool on a hunch and confirmed it wasn't there as well or any evidence it been there at all.
"Who wants to bet if we check the cameras it'll just show us looking at a blank screen." Sparatus commented wryly.
"No deal." joked Liress but her face quickly adopted a look of slight fear. "Councilors just who are we dealing with?"
AN: Yes Liress just who are you dealing with? This came out a bit better than I hoped. I have a little info dump below on this universe's SCP. It'll let you know what they're about.

SCP Organization
The SCP Organization has existed in one way or form since the dawn of human civilization but the modern variation came to be in the early 1700s with the establishment of the European Branch outside Paris, France. Several more branches were founded in Asia, Africa, Australia, South America, and North America over the course of several decades with small outposts scattered around the world. The North American Branch operated in the Maine wilderness before moving to the Black Hills in South Dakota in 1914. By 1950 the American Facility was the largest and was made into the organization's headquarters. When the First Contact War came and went SCP already had outposts on nearly all humanity's colonies and new facilities on the larger ones.
SCP Organization: Goals
The Organization was originally founded to hunt down creatures most of humanity would refer to as monsters. Supernatural or mystical objects were also on the groups list for collection so they could possibly be reversed engineered for human use. As the years went on and their knowledge on what the creatures in their possession were their goal had evolved into protecting humanity from them.
SCP Organization: Structure
Director- The Director is the head of the entire organization. The Director holds complete control over the entire organization's policies, research, and expenditure. Only large organization affecting decisions are made by him.
Regional Director- Regional Directors or Regs run the day to day operations of the different facilities. They are second only to the Director in terms of authority.
Scientists- SCP employs many scientists to help further their goals and research. Their ranks range from class 1 to 4. With 1 being the lowest and 4 being the highest.
Agents- Agents are plainclothes operatives SCP sends to obtain new specimens, recruit new individuals, etc. Usually ex or current military they are a force that should not be underestimated.
AN: I can already hear you thinking "Well this is a little vague and incomplete. I still have unanswered questions." I know you do but unfortunately you don't have proper clearance to know more.
