I had to take a short break last week. Starting up again with a fairly simple but interesting one. Hope you enjoy it!
love the content always man. dont burn yourself out.
I will enjoy it, as I always do ^u^
Bruh where do you get this art from? Do you make it?
This sounds like star seeds journey too get back too source the whole “knowledge of the unknown “ hits home
@@Nobody-Cool Look in the description
i like the older scp articles because they can bring up an interesting premise for an "anomalous object/entity" without it being on an eldritch sized world-ending scale
for real, i like the world ending ones as much as the next guy but i feel like we havent had anything except them recently
I likely he simple one. Like ones that chase no harm, they are just a cool consept that's not will understood.
There's lots of smaller scale SCPs in the higher numbers just go look people don't always cover them on TH-cam.
@@markanthonybowen9419 Yeah, i just wish there was more of them on youtube channels like these, since i wanna listen to them while playing somethin
Yeah I liked the entries that were just "weird stuff" like the kind of stuff you'd expect an organization like SCP to accumulate over time. Not everything had to be a world ending crisis or bloodthirsty monster or malevolent entity scheming in the shadows, some stuff just...was. Made it feel more...real I guess? Like how not everything in life has a story or grand purpose, it just kinda is.
I like to think Directorate K has an almost identical file on the Foundation.
"There are these weirdos that just keep stuff in cages because they are "anomalous," whatever that means. Idk, they seem harmless enough, so we made a deal with them."
I can imagine Directorate K and the Foundation doing a field exercise together.
Directorate k null internal memo of the bureau of culinary health and heuristic wellness.
While obviously outside the prescribed boundaries of a complex interdependence system as defined by the committee of small appliance repair ( see attached documents) and classified as a mR-27 threat to dietary health and wellness, it is the opinion of this governing body that the organization/entity monikered " The Foundation" is not antithetical to our present and long-term goles. Our projections demonstrate a exponential upturn in unwi an immolation by a factor of ten to the twenty third on the Millbrook/Kandinsky castigation scale in the absence of this free actor. Therefore after preliminary reevaluation by the division of janitorial psyops and an extended Olive Branch by the describe free actor our embassy has established diplomatic relations and concessions including but not limited to the 9 Mile station protocol ( see attached documents).
It is the current opinion of this division that we....
The ultimate "my goals are beyond your understanding" scp
SCP-1659, why are you fishing near the Eiffel Tower where there is no pond or a lake?
you must understand, me neutralizing this toddler will generate significant cornmeal sales in zimbabwe
Pre-9-Mile Island SCP containment plan: "Just stay beyond our understanding forever"
Sending the signed copy of a treaty between two incredibly powerful super-national entities to one of the signatories via donkey is just the ultimate flex.
Everyone: why are all the keter entries apocalyptic murder monsters?!?!?
1659: I'm 'bout to make these people clean street signs and eat gourmet food.
I think it’s Keter because I’m therapy, 1659 COULD take over anyone. Imagine if it had some messed up plans, and decides to take over the mind of world leaders, or even a member of O5.
You're on coin spinning duty for the rest of the year
Hey guys i just finished my doormouse inventory whats up?
K, "You don't have any reason to believe we are a threat."
F, "We don't have any reason to believe you are NOT a threat either."
The Foundation in a nutshell.
I love SCPs like this. Not some world-ending threat trying to out-edge other world-ending threats. Just a weird phenomenon with a cool story and an interesting containment protocol.
I'd argue that is the ideal SCP. It is just something anomalous and is presented in an entertaining manner. Just because we can create infinite variations of "world ending threats" doesn't mean we should, nor should they clutter up the SCP wiki with them!
Just so you know, whenever someone thanks me for listening, I always expect to hear the phrase, “If, indeed, you still are.”
I sometimes end my rambles that way
1659 is basically a Penn & Teller act. While everyone's watching Penn spin coins, Teller is secretly loading widespread cultural change from his pocket.
I see this SCP as the ultimate "shadow government". Sure, the cultural impact they have SEEMS benign, nevermind the fact that they either own or finance the infrastructure and businesses fo which they're cranking up demand by influencing cultural sensitivities.
Then you add up the fact that they themselves have addmitted to have an overarching goal (or goals?) to the apparently pointless tasks some of their member carry out and all of a sudden you're reminded of the saying "there's a method to the madness"...
THEN you get to the agreement and it all gets hella creepy. It looks like the Foundation is getting a lot more out of it than the Directorate is, but the Directorate clearly shows what they care about: the Foundation doesn't get to know what they want, nor does it get to even try to stop it.
Odds are the Directorate knows exactly what and what not to do in order to further their agenda. Not taking up Foundation resources so it stays effective at its job might very well be a part of such agenda. Maybe it's that case... or maybe they just know that if they stick to the terms of the agreement, they'll eventually reach a point at which the Foundation won't be able to stop them even if they tried.
Still, an awesome take on the "uncontainable, mass influence Keter" trope.
When a Keter class is benign, but still can not be contained.
except from the 500tnt/kilogram explosive xD
"probably benign"
"mostly harmless"
@@elduquecaradura1468 Probably an accident, as in just wanted to clear a bunch of rocks to build a new restaurent. I live in a place that the soil has a lot of huge rocks in it and you need to blow them up with tnt.
Well guys you know. The vast majority of Keter class SCP's that I saw where "If this ever brakes containment it will delete the Wiki alongside the universe"
My point still stands.
It really unnerves me how they're so compliant with the Foundation. It should be reassuring but it just triggers the brrrrr instead.
Totally. One sets up boundaries to protect against the other, but in doing so, you start a countdown til one crosses the other.
I mean if the SCP’s only purpose is to nudge humanity on a specific non destructive foodie path, having a peace treaty with an organisation that is one of a very short list MAYBE capable of stopping you is just good business.
@Qagmez 7668 Not really sure the SCP foundation really counts as a 'lawful authority'.
@Qagmez 7668 Probably only after giving them no choice and orgs like GOC and ORIA bring in to question whether or not many countries agree that the SCP has authority. Personally, I find that The Serpents Hand is the only trustworthy organization out there.
- L.S.
@Qagmez 7668 Why would they roll over so easily? That's the point. It feels like they don't believe they're giving up anything significant. Why? That's weird. Those requirements feel pretty restrictive.
This is an interesting one, a group that is clearly anomalous, and with effort, probably could avoid detection by the foundation, but they actually got into an agreement with them, one that seems fairly generous for the foundation, considering the nature of Directorate K. Part of me wonders if the directorate sees the foundation as an equal, or as an annoying pest that is easier to work with than work around. I wonder if 1659 and the foundation ever work together on a common goal.
i suppose that 1659 understands the thorn that the foundation could be. by entering into an agreement with the foundation, 1659 is pacifying the foundation and creating some level of protection against inquiries into its source. i think that it's understood by both sides that if the foundation could lock away 1659, it would.
@@iamzid also think about it this way, the foundations goal is never to kill or destroy an SCP. 1659 has to be completely aware they are classified as an SCP and understand that implication, so they know worst case as long as they dont try to destroy the world the SCP foundation wont try to kill them. I find the agreement between the organizations similar to two members of an oligarchy, aware of some capability each other presents, and the non-destructive intent each other has, and therefore decided it would be easier to just rule their own districts of the world as they see fit while keeping track of one another. Its not like their authority undermines the Foundation anyway, plus it costs no money to make treaties.
Or they work behind the backs of the foundation, if the foundation is incapable of realizing how deep the control goes
Strictly speaking, the SCP foundation is extraordinary powerful, all world governments bend the knee to them and they have access to the most destructive "technology" humanity has ever discovered (either the use of other SCPs or technology created by the study of other SCPs) and while the SCP foundation has always been concerned with containing SCPs they have not hesitated to destroy them in the past provided it was practical to do so. The foundation also has a history of dealing with powerful groups that wield anomalous "firepower"
All these factors collectively would mean squaring off with the foundation would not be ideal, especially if your intended goal is another other than destruction and strife.
In short, for directorate K, it's more practical to cooperate with the foundation than it is to attempt to fight, given that both sides are interested in human longevity the peaceful compromise seems logical.
I think that the whole SCP is, in its nature, anomalously unfunctional. With the document suggesting they have no goals and affected personnel doing basically nonsensical task. So really it's basically shared self-sustaining, mass delusion that doesn't have a beef or conflict of interest with the Foundation because it really doesn't have a interest in anything. Hence why the agreements are so heavily favorable for the Foundation.
I've been on a binge of SCP videos recently and I can immediately hear when I've clicked on a new video. It sounds... deeper? Maybe clearer? It's like you're talking to him face to face in a small room as opposed to listening to a recorded lecture. Honestly I thought that the previous audio quality was a conscious choice because it fit with the visual presentation.
the scp foundation swapped to online learning recordings bcs of covid
I like it more after the mic and space upgrades, more roomy and intense
I fell out of love with these awhile ago and didn’t know why. Went back and checked,totally this. Dunno why.
I've always liked Directorate K. It's truly weird but not specifically dangerous, and the people running it seem pleasant and cooperative.
The detail of a triennial conference to review the ongoing situation is intriguing. I'd like to attend, but I'm not sure which side I'd rather be on.
You just *know* the catering would be top notch.
Xoxo ❤️
SCP Foundation no question. Directorate K personel seem brainwashed.
@@craigbowen9995 Hi! My work for the Bureau of Dry Beans is meaningful and voluntary. Please don't get the wrong idea of what's going on here, dear!
@@craigbowen9995 I can't explain what a civil engineer does any more than she could explain why I weave grass triangles. We all have our purpose and we all do our jobs.
Sounds like this SCP was written by a disgruntled govt employee
As someone who has to deal with management and look at budgets, I can tell you this scp describes every bureacratic organization.
The Vogons have entered the chat. Resistance is useless.
I was career US Federal civil service for twenty four years. I encountered few gruntled government employees.
They played to a government entities strengths and weaknesses. They essentially self contained it via diplomacy.
Containment with benefits :p
Sometimes "whatever it takes" isn't horrific. Its a good day when the foundation can use it's words
@@dome2919 "By any means necessary" means just that, sometimes.
You mean to a *bureaucracies* greatest strengths & weaknesses. If this entity was anything reminiscent of governments themselves through most of our history, it would have simply conquered the world; instead of going through the trouble of drawn out, restricted diplomacy.
@@KevinJohnson-cv2no Domination doesn't seem to be its goal, which makes it like some of the less discussed governments of the world which had better things to do than paint maps.
Sounds like they are abusing the butterfly effect to make major changes without it being obvious.
I’d love to see a Tale &/or K-class scenario involving these guys! They don’t even have to be the antagonists, just the fact that a global pseudo-hive-mind is affecting world events via seemingly-innocuous activities sounds fascinating! Just imagine the wars &/or K-class scenarios that were prevented as a result of janitors feeding aphids, or mechanics painting fences, or chefs walking around with toy poodles! Or better yet, imagine a scenario in which Directorate K deemed a breach of 9-Mile protocol to be necessary, either to save the world, or to further an essential goal that was previously undisclosed, or simply bc the state of culinary trends is just that dire!
Directorate K Agent: "It's scary because you don't know."
Me: "Know what?"
Directorate K Agent: "Yes."
Finally a non-meta/apocalypse/fanfic article. This one is very cool!
I really enjoy these more mundane SCP entries because they are, in at least some sense, completely realistic. To me, this inspires a greater sense of existential dread than some pan-dimensional entity bent on erasing the multi-realities.
What do you mean by fanfic article?
Less meta stuff, more Robodude
@@dillon10121 Davenport for example is a not great not terrible Lovecraft fanfic.
Agreed. These earlier entries make me remember why I got into SCP in the first place.
I support this scp purely because I like food and they seem to like food too
I like this SCP due to it being rational and diplomatic. Finally an SCP that can talk some sense
The piece speaks to the fallacy of "control". unless you know what someone or something wants, it's impossible to know for sure you have truly affected their capacity to achieve it. That something can "override" any human's personal will so totally that it's not even perceived by an outside observer as brainwashing towards an unknown goal but a "career choice" speaks to an immense level of power and is really unnerving!
So a Keter that can’t be contained yet contained by a documented agreement from both parties. There’s something to this SCP that makes me think that this collective might cross the line at one point.
Yeah I was really confused as to why this was keter. But I guess it was just the uncontainable nature of it
Honestly it makes me think of Marshall Carter & Dark ltd. Even though they’re 2 very different organizations.
@@mattylewin1684 Yeah I get that vibe too actually, though Directorate K don't seem as shady or out for profit at any expense as MC&D
it shouldnt be Keter but enstead a Cernunnos SCP
containable but too costly to contain
@@kurokami5964 but it might end up being a dominance shift scenario. That’s the only thing. They don’t know much about what they do. And they come in numbers.
I love it when you cover lesser know SCP's, keep on the good work!
1659 subjects have the best job satisfaction regardless of the task how I envy them.
Some powerful entity can see future possibilities well enough to adjust them through the butterfly effect. The dogs that got chased away for example would had triggered some event during the conference. Or if some future important person will choke on a bee that day they send a lot of pest control to the places he will be. etc.
I wonder if Guy Fieri and Gordon Ramsay are high level members of SCP 1659
Seeing the thumbnail, I was expecting something on the darker end of the SCP tone spectrum. I was pleasantly surprised to find it wasn't. Volgon's/Dr. Miller's calm, collected demeanor while describing the Directorate's...unique field operations was delightfully absurd.
I really like this one. Makes the foundation feel global and just a little bit vulnerable
This is a brilliant scp. There’s so much potential for further world building based on a huge amount of factors. I hope to see more articles
Interesting that the article says no violations of the 9 mile station protocol by the SCP itself have been observed, implying perhaps that the foundation has violated the protocol themselves
I love the line “we’re thinking of building a restaurant here”. Maybe this is coincidence, but there really is a restaurant called 9 Mile Station. I’d like to think the author lived nearby, saw it being built, and fabricated some wacky story they just had to write down.
I love when the Foundation actually has to negotiate with SCPs.
Wouldn't it be funny if Directorate K was actually more significant than they seem, but they deliberately made themselves act this way so the Foundation wouldn't interfere with their goals?
I’d like to share that I listen to your videos as a sole night shift guard in a guard tower at a large jail. Your videos are the perfect addition to my already scary experience being the only person in a large tower that is only lit by my security monitors.
I was on the field mouse detail for awhile, it was enjoyable work and I learned a lot, but I was eventually relieved and told to return to my previous position of stenographer until further notice.
This is giving off SCP - 001 "Good boy" vibes. Random tasks for seemingly no reason that have a greater casual effect on the world.
Great entry. I miss old SCP without canons and overarching narratives.
3:50 A sentient organization is having a lot of fun with being/having a psychic network. It's so efficient, so modular!
I don’t know what scares me the most. That either Directorate K is beyond logical reasoning or that Directorate K might be hiding something and that all this actually means something and that the lack of logic is misdirection or code.
That tidbit about people chasing stray dogs with brooms in Budapest sounds like a normal everyday occurrence from the 8. district.
I feel like 'Nyócker' could become an SCP itself.
This one's weird because half the stuff they do is actually kinda helpful, but the other half is just like "dude, what the heck?"
They're not heroes but not villains either.
They're just people in power.
So this is why they want us to eat bugs...
Gives me vibes of “my goals are beyond your understanding” whilst some dude spins a coin at a bus stop lol
I enjoy the culinary overtones present in this SCP, and I find the "burro-mounted messenger" greatly amusing.
Love it when the Keter-class is uncontained
Eh, I'm honestly kinda tired of the fact that so many new ones are uncontained. I tend to downvote uncontained SCPs on the wiki unless they are exceptionally written.
sounds like something a keter class would say......
Overseer Command would unanomously disagree
I mean, in theory, that's what Keter means.
that is what keter means
Fantastic video! I really admire the clarity of video and audio, even if clarity is purposefully degraded.
To me, the more mundane an SCP is, the more existential dread it can inspire because it is more relatable.
I doubt you'll see this but if you do I have to say, if you ever feel up to writing something and want it to be in a non-foundation POV I think it'd be pretty amusing to hear the Directorate's file on The Foundation. Regardless, I hope your break went well and thanks for more of your excellent content. Great job!
Thanks for the lesson Dr Millar

It's behavior clearly backs up it wants to peacefully coexist. First established yourself to be at a position of strength, not attempt to take over the world in secret when they could of, and when spotted quickly form peace treaties that the foundation find acceptable. But still with the power and screwed up nature of it this is going to be a tense relationship as long as it's not trying to betray the foundation.
So basically they're the SCP Foundation, but out of context
The discord notification got to me before the TH-cam one did. Hilarious!
so scp-1659 is an abnormal "country identity" that involves
Thanks for another quality upload, these have become great for filling the void of work and mundane life
So... how does Carol fit in all of this? We have someone banging on her door at the office right now...

Oh fuck yeah a new video
Awesome, I had put this off for tonight for my before bed treat. Thanks for posting. I always look forward to each lesson. 😸
They just want to build some snazzy resteraunts bro
Ok, so, people with OCD are an SCP.
Yeaaaahhh baby!
That's what I've been waiting for!
That's what it's all about!
WOOOOOOHHH
These are the Keters I live for!
Functionable uncontainable, but benign. Very interesting stuff
Please never stop, your channel is gold for going to sleep. Especially the freaky ones.
The craziest part of Directorate K is the head of global operations is someone named Pepe Silvia and despite the vast Foundation resources and contacts among the various alternate realities not one of our searches have been able to identify this individual!
You’re an inspiration, man. Thank you
We missed you! Glad you are back!
Earliest I've ever found a video, nice 👍
I always loved your videos i got back into the scp rabbit hole an been watching alot of these again
This scp is the definition of my goals are beyond your understanding
It's refreshing when the scp isn't some end of the world causing monster. A very cool keter scp brought to life with your awesome work. 😁
"Dr. Bright may no longer refer to SCP-1659 as a temp agency."
Honestly, this is pretty much exactly what it feels like to work at just about any large company...
Performing pointless tasks that have nothing to do with your stated purpose to further unknown and potentially sinister ends is just called being a middle manager.
I so love your SCP readings!
This was a great one! Very interesting and fun to listen to your reading
The Directorate, whoever and whatever they are, is one of my favorites because whatever it is, it _seems_ to be, if not benign, then at least about as well-intentioned as the Foundation. It's one of the best examples of a Keter-class as well, because it doesn't interpret "Keter" as "capable of creating an XK Class End of the World Scenario" but rather as what it is: difficult to contain.
Woooot
En-ooey! XD
Love your work. Don't ever change.
Fascinating premise one of your better videos
It's actually pronounced Directorate C
🤓
Awesome, a birthday vid!
Great content as usual !
New Volgun video, let's gooooo! While you "only" read SCP articles, the amount of effort you put into voice acting, the 3d models, and effects, make you the best SCP channel out there, without any competition.
I appreciated the spooky backing track, but Directorate K sounds more silly than scary. They're a clandestine group of people spanning the globe who... Have absolutely no idea why they're doing what they're doing, other than that they're part of a super special secret group. It's very Night Vale
This one was honestly fascinating. I just wish there was little bit more regarding directive k. It's a bit too barenones in that regard
Yeah, an interview would have rounded things out a little bit, even if it's jus cryptic word salad, to make the skip more unnerving. But I do appreciate the subtlety of it. It's dusturbing without trying too hard, I'll give it that.
@@TheMeanMongoose Yeah completely agree
I bet it's trolling the foundation, all the members of directorare K are laughing so hard lmao
Da king is back baby he neva miss
The author of such beautiful prose: good job.
Didn’t expect something this good from a series one scp
Y'know what reminds me of an isekai system, performing tasks to level up and getting gifted with knowledge beyond their means. High level diplomacy skills being the tip off.
Sounds like life when your spawnpoints a ghetto
lol the culinary criticism part made me chuckle lol
Great article Kalinin!
That was as frustratingly inexplicable as it was intriguing.
I feel like the scp reached out first because it knew the foundation was powerful enough to mess with it.
"Hey youre powerful and Im powerful. Lets be neutral"
Loved this one
I love how goofy yet ominous this one is
Some interesting concessions have been made for SC0-1659
Allowed to control up to 0.01% of the current human population, since we just surpassed 8 billion people, that means 1659 has an allowed size of roughly 800,000 people or more than double it's currently known size.
1659 is basically free to do as it wishes short of large scale property damage and loss of life, they have been granted the ability to defend themselves but the foundation has allowed themselves to interfere in order to prevent further escalation.
Thanks to this video I thought of a radical SCP idea
This was a really good 1
Love the new redaction noise
