In-Game Name: Nova Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:60666004 Current Research Rank: Experienced Researcher Foundation Test Log(s) (graded 8+/10 only): Your Operations Advisor Overseer, has informed you there is a group of insurgents collecting foundation data at a field operating base on the surface. They are armed and well secured. How would you approach it? (100+ words): Assuming i have permission to take these measures i would at first have 2 teams for 2 separate objectives. Team A would be in charge of attempting to identify the method in which the insurgents are actually collecting data and attempt to block it and Team B would be sent on a stealth operation in order to fully identify all the security present for the sake of the data collection site as well as hopefully identify any key individuals tech or perhaps even how they are collecting the data from that side. While this happens i would attempt to have their communications shut down so that information cannot leave the site. as well as ensure that all methods of exfil or retreat for the insurgents are blocked off so that they cannot manually report their findings either. After enough research has been done one final operation will take place in which case the camp will be stealthily terminated at their weakest possible point. (most people are asleep people may be spread out elsewhere ETC.) After the whole operation has been completed a complete report of how they were collecting data, what they had collected and if possible the reason they were doing it would then be reported to Operations Advisor Overseer directly as he was the one who informed me of such. I am unaware if this follows procedure or not but with no direction this is how i would go about it. There is a strange SCP that calls himself the “targeter”. When the name of another individual is said within earshot of the “targeter” the “targeter” will teleport to the individual that has had their name said, and run off. How would you suggest the foundation approach apprehension and / or termination of this individual? (100+ Words): Assuming the SCP cannot be easily terminated or has been specifically requested to not be terminated but rather contained (if this was not the case then i would use the SCP's own ability to trap it in a room and shot to death.) I would have a D Class personnel with a device that when activated would stop the D Class's heart. Killing him. Locked within the arranged containment chamber (or a temporary one if there is none) that cannot hear any sound from outside the containment chamber. Would have a site wide notice for anyone who comes across the "targeter" to say the D Class's name within close proximity of the SCP. Once the targeter arrives the D Class would be killed via activation of the device to stop his heart and access the room would be limited to level 3 personnel and above who are well aware of his anomalous ability's. Further containment procedures would most likely not be for me to decide. Yet again i am unaware of if there is a general procedure for this or if this follows that but it is what i would do with no further direction. An abandoned camp site has been discovered on the surface, hidden incredibly well within the brush. There are documents, newspaper scraps, as well as an old laptop with unknown data being transferred to a suspicious I.P. address. How do you react? (100+ Words): I would attempt to have all cellular and Wi-Fi signals jammed so that the laptop cannot transfer more information. While having someone check the ip address to determine its location and send a squad to investigate the area and attempt to find the reason why and what information was being sent there. While another team is investigating the site. Checking the documents, trying to find key information within the newspaper and trying to identify the what information was being sent and why as well as everything that is on the laptop. My next move would dpend on the results. If the information is found to have no relation to the foundation or anything of interest to us then it would be abandoned and left as it was. But only once that is a 100% certainty. If it has relations to the foundation then any and all information sent would be cut off as best as possible and an investigation into who is responsible would be undertaken. I cannot say how that would go as there are too many independent variables. Yet again. Dunno if this follows procedure but is what i would do with no guidance.

I really wanna see an actual good UNSC VS Covenant server on GMod again. Every now or then one pops up but it always dies cus they don't have a community and struggle to create one or kill it themselves. I have been on many of those servers and just want the same experience i had when i originally found a UNSC VS Covenant server (the only good one ever) I am going to list a few specific details just to try and help give a basic idea of how those servers generally work best at least from my experience. If this actually manages to spark some interest i am always willing to talk about this topic as i would love it if this actually happened. Main Basis - The entire server would be Semi Serious RP that all relates to the ongoing battle between UNSC and Covenant. It would start in a period near the start of the human covenant war and events could happen to signify important events. People on both sides would be able to deploy and go into combat with the opposite side. The entire server being PVP based. Deployment rules - For the sake of fair combat/realistic battles there would be deployment rules based on the strength of each thing past the basic infantry. grunts and jackals as well as marines could go out whenever with absolutely no restrictions but anything above that would need a reason to go out, such as the battle being to far in the other sides favour. An example of power for certain ranks is a brute ultra taking out a whole squad of like 10 marines singlehandedly or a brute chieftain man handling like 4 spartan 3's. NLR would also be based on the rank/power of the individual so that killing something like a brute chieftain is a major win for a significant amount of time and may allow a gap in power to let others join in for the time being. The deployment rules being ignored for full scale war events in which the deployment rules are ignored for a specific time period. In order to make it so higher ranking people don't get bored they can always switch to the weakest job in their faction or a weaker life if they have it so that they may go out freely. Capture points - Another way of causing a full scale war event besides event team would be to capture every capture point for your side (the main objective for all the skirmishes) this allows the side that has captured all the objectives to raid the enemy factions base. There could also be specific missions for certain individuals that go outside the deployment rules. Such as an Elite zealot assassinating a certain individual within the UNSC base as a lone mission. Permadeath - As a way to "keep things interesting" certain events or missions could have a permadeath (or PD for short) effect. Meaning if you die your character fully dies in lore. This can mean i variety of things based on the type of permadeath. Such as: Name PD: Death manes you must simply change your RP Name. No loss of rank but any RP with that character is lost and your accomplishments are reverted. Half PD: You lose anywhere from a rank to a rank reset (if you are a try-out class such as Covenant Elite or an ODST otherwise it would be a full PD) dependant on the specific rules. Full PD: Death means you must fully start over on that life, your name changes you are wiped from the roster completely and must restart (or switch to another life) This could either be an optional thing to participate in such as an event with the reward for surviving being the ability to be promoted without restriction (such as double promos and ignoring promo timer as well as just more generous promotions from command) or mandatory missions for classes that are meant to be a revolving door by nature. PD Classes - certain classes (from my experience Spartan 3 fireteams and Elite Zealots) may be free for anyone to try-out for with no restrictions as a powerful class you can get without having to work through a whole ranking structure. But the downside would be not only the fact that it is difficult to join but also that people in these classes would be forced to go on full PD missions from time to time. Where you have to survive in order to keep the class and succeed in order to rank up. Possibly leading to a more permanent position or simply more power. Refusal to go on the mission being an instant removal. I think that's enough to talk about. Its already an absolute wall of text but if this genuinely sparks some interest or has a chance at happening then i would love to talk about anything else anyone may have questions on. I really hope this happens. I will be checking this post occasionally to see if something has happened with it but for a more immediate response my discord is @GrandNova#9890 Feel free to ask anything there. A video of the server i get most of the inspiration for this from that sadly shut down due to the owner destroying it himself basically. Just as another note the suggestion is more for the server itself then the mechanics i listed. While i think those mechanics are a good way to go don't take it as me demanding it be that way if it happens.

Lore: 25/25 Creativity: 10/25 Presentation: 20/25 Writing: 23/25 Grade: 78/100 (Exceeds Expectations) Note: Everything below should ONLY be taken as a bit of feedback and tips to help improve in the future. This is a really good test log and you did very well. But you can always improve. Additional Comments: [This test is something that has already been done to further extremes with the use of recording devices. And it was found out that SCP 173 would not move when recorded as long as the recording would be viewed at a later date. Meaning its ability to determine if someone is or even will look at it is more psychic in nature and extremely anomalous. A few personal ideas of mine to help improve your writing and presentation are to switch to video log in order to be more descriptive. This also allows you to include images in the Video log besides just explaining it. I have also been thinking of trying to do a full in character test so I can have a legitimate video log although that is difficult to say the least. I would save audio logs for interviews with certain SCP's or interrogations. In terms of presentation I would encourage different colours per person based their rank and so forth. This carrying over into their speech during audio/video logs. This is something I do myself and can be seen in any and all of my tests. It is of course up to you if you do it or come up with your own creative solution to help with reading but this is what I would recommend. I don't care if people do the same as me in terms of presentation its our personal ideas and writing that makes our tests unique.]

Notices of required security clearance are not to be taken seriously by the reader and are done to make the document feel more genuine unless you intend to use the Information in RP. You are free to read Level 4 clearance no matter your own clearance but cannot bring up information from these sections in RP unless your clearance level is 4+ or you found out another way. Parts of the document that are redacted are done to make it more genuine. You can just highlight the redacted area to read the information. Just don't take any redacted information taken from these sections into RP. Please let me know what you think of the database entry. If it is well received I may start making more of them for these tests. Maybe get creative with it.

Name: Nova Rank: SRIC Callsign: RC02 Date of LOA Leave/Return: It started around the end of april. It is very hard to distinguish when it will end right now. But i will be gone for a few months most likely. Reason (if private write N/A): School pressure went from mild to maximum, Some personal issues are going on in the family and i simply don't have the time to dedicate myself to anything else right now. I need to finish up. I really hope that everyone is doing okay. Note: I will still be able to see everything on discord so if you need to say something then you can. Also to explain why i didn't post before, there was so much going on at once that i need to deal with immediately that i basically completely forgot about it. I then had a fake memory of making it but when messaged directly i thought about it and realised i had none. Sorry for any inconveniences this has/will cause.

Name: Nova Rank: Senior Researcher in charge / PFC Callsign: RC02/XX4 Date of LOA Leave/Return: 27/04/2020 - 3/05/2020 Reason (if private write N/A): Death in the family, we have managed to set up a funeral plan that works with the pandemic but will be away during this for 6 days. Although i will still be active on discord just not in game.

Note for the future you seemingly forget to edit everything form the top of the log down to the location your at. Grade: 73/100 Lore: 20/25 Creativity: 20/25 Presentation: 15/25 Writing: 18/25 Test quality: Meets Expectations Extra Notes: Perhaps use the Alpha class personnel for the practical part of the tests, they are more expendable then you are. In this case just use a block of cement the skin/flesh is taped to. if there's a dent in the cement it didn't work. How and why we can make invisible Armour is never stated as 1424's flesh is never stated to be invisible. The use of stronger firearms or at least specification of the firearm used for this test would of been nice since there is probably a threshold to what the flesh can protect from. Try and add more detail to the tests, you have creative freedom aside from just what happens in game.

Grade: 70/100 Lore: 17/25 Creativity: 15/25 Presentation: 23/25 Writing: 15/25 Test quality: Meets Expectations Extra Notes: Nice presentation, you forgot the numbers for the case file. The practicality of this test is odd because it is able to move around on its own, also damage it takes is stated to not heal or regenerate in any way, you never stated if it did but i can presume that you intended for it to. An examination of the wounds may have been nice, whenever your doing a test on an SCP you would want to cover as much stuff relating to the topic as possible, long high quality test logs are our favourites after all Also remember to mention everything in the log itself rather then in the conclusion, new info shouldn't come out of nowhere such as the knowledge of stray bullet only told to us in safety hazards.

Grade: 75/100 Lore: 25/25 Creativity: 15/25 Presentation: 20/25 Writing: 15/25 Test quality: Exceeds Expectations Extra Notes: Good test, creativity would be higher due to the general lack of temperature based tests but this is a challenge so it was more obvious. Try to add a bit more creative flare to your writing, describe certain actions a little bit more, using video log instead of audio log works great for this as you can describe certain movements/actions with more detail, would of been interesting if you tested how SCP - 999 reacted to quick change in temperature from cold to hot, like if you were to have them enter the cold one then immediately the hot one. Perhaps a more drastic temperature change would have caused something interesting to happen. Remember you do have some creative liberties when doing tests.

But 044 is a howitzer! Whatever, heres the grade for what it is. Grade: 45/100 Creativity: 15/35 Presentation: 15/25 Writing: 15/40 Test quality: Approaching Expectations Extra Notes: The test log is quite hard to read, perhaps try and space out the audio log/observation a bit better? get rid of the initial prompts in the original template. Theres not much i can say about the lore because SCP 044 is nothing like the SCP's described which seem to more symbolize different parts of brain, make the audio/video log more of a proper representation of exactly what happened as it was happening not a list of what happened, because these are new SCP's in the conclusion you should define them in the best way you can. Make sure to read over it as well, there were some grammar problems that made it hard to read. Don't worry too much about the low grade, i would of done a lore grade if not for the lack of info on the SCP used, and i couldn't do much with creativity since you were just figuring out how a new SCP works.

Grade: 80/100 Lore: 22/25 Creativity: 23/25 Presentation: 15/25 Writing: 20/25 Test quality: Exceeds Expectations Extra Notes: A good example of an test with an SCP that can't be used in game. Although i would like it more if you explained where and how you got the resource, maybe a transport ship or salvaged from another site? Where you got the chemist would also be good, perhaps you also should of gotten a chemist and weapons expert as both would generally be needed as the chemist wouldn't normally know how to make a weapon.Try and add some more creative flare to your writing, perhaps explain exactly what is happening each time a timeskip happens because without explanation it can leave the reader a little confused on whats going on when it goes unmentioned. Great test though, keep up the good work.

Please look back over the test, at its current state this test log is incredibly hard to read due to grammar problems and i don't think that you were testing on SCP 044 considering its a howitzer, you also mention SCP 999 and "little 066's" without any mention of them even being in the test via SCP's involved, i believe that if anything you may have been talking about 5208? due to the multiple colored specimens but this isn't mentioned anywhere, please look back over the test log, i will grade it once it has been updated. Also remember to take out the initial prompts.

Grade: 65/100 Lore: 20/25 Creativity: 15/25 Presentation: 15/25 Writing: 15/25 Test quality: Meets Expectations Extra Notes: Try to add a bit more creative flare into the writing of the test itself, the spot on the creature where you are firing the gun from also matters a great deal, perhaps an examination of where the bullets are/got stuck would be good. Please try to space out different sentences a bit more so it is easier to read. Makes our lives a lot easier, otherwise its a good test.
