Caecus Carneliana-Collective

Caecus Carneliana-Collective

The logo of the Caecus Carneliana-Collective, given by SCP-032-DE.

The Caecus Carneliana-Collective is an organisation actively hostile to the Foundation, that wants to achieve the release of sentient SCPs contained by the German Branch of the Foundation. Until recently, the number of its members was unknown, but is estimated to be approximately ██. The Caecus Carneliana-Collective is led by so-called 'Branches' and a 'Stem', the subjects of which are so-called 'Fruit' and 'Leaves'. It is known that the Branches consist of eleven (11) different individuals, while the Stem represents some kind of leader. Even if he exerts a certain guiding power, the Stem is a part of the Branches. The Fruit function as subordinates, and are created by the Branches; the Leaves, in turn, are produced by the fruit. On the ██/██/19██, incident DE/B33 occurred, thanks to which the Collective successfully placed itself in the spotlight of the Foundation.

All members are either abnormal and/or possess abnormal abilities. These are generally regarded as anomalous objects.

The internal infrastructure is similar to the philosophical structure of a tree. Noteworthy are the names of the Branches, as well as of the Stem. Each member of the Branches bears a name from the 'Sephiroth' and has appropriate abilities. The Stem bears the name 'Kether'¹, at the moment Kether's abilities are unknown. All branches are living individuals. All members of Caecus Carneliana share a characteristic lack of emotions, although some reports suggest that an unknown number of members can imitate emotions to facilitate communication with the outside world.

There are often incidents at Sites in Germany caused by members of Caecus Carneliana, often resulting in a containment breach.

All actions of the Collective take place in the Central European area², in the case of the extension of this to a larger action area, MTF-Unit DE22-𝕴 ("Light Chain"), specialized for the Collective, is to be dispatched to contain the members.

For unknown motives, SCP-032-DE went to a site of the German branch of the Foundation and passed on a lot of the now known information about the Caecus Carneliana-Collective. It is known that the Collective spreads knowledge about the Foundation to the public and some groups of interest.

It is not known where the members of C.C. are currently located. The possibility of a fixed site of residence of the members is being considered. Where the members, as well as the Collective as such, have/has come from, is unknown.

Relations with other groups of interest

Preamble: The Caecus Carneliana-Collective managed to hide itself from many groups of interest, as well as the SCP Foundation itself, but revealed itself to the 'public' after the German branch managed to secure a certain number of SCPs. At the moment, the Collective gives out knowledge about itself out of unknown reasons.

SCP Foundation

Date of the first contact: ██/██/19██

Relationship: Hostile

Description of the relationship: The Caecus Carneliana-Collective first came into contact with the SCP Foundation when an incident occurred at a site of the German branch. Since then, the Collective has been extremely hostile to the Foundation and actively opposed it. At the moment, the SCP Foundation is trying to contain the members of the Collective.

Mages Academy

Date of the first contact: unknown

Relationship: Bad

Description of the relationship: The Mage Academy is currently not seen as hostile by the Collective, since Caecus Carneliana is not directly interested in it, but more and more encounters occur. Sooner or later there will be an confrontation between the two Groups of Interest.

Raptor Tec. Industries

Date of the first contact: ██/██/20██

Relationship: Neutral

Description of the relationship: Even if the two groups are aware of each other, they keep their distance. The initial contact was made using SCP-032-DE, C.C. assured R.T.I. the neutrality between the two Groups of Interest. Since R.T.I. is apparently trying to find out more information about the Collective, it is observed by Caecus Carneliana. Caecus Carneliana wants to keep the distribution of information under the control of the Collective.

The Fourth Reich

Date of the first contact: unknown

Relationship: Neutral

Description of the relationship: The Collective has no hostile intentions against The Fourth Reich, but does not enter any alliances. Caecus Carneliana is interested in the incantation techniques of 4R.

Section XXV

Date of the first contact: unknown

Relationship: / (previously: Hostile)

Description of the relationship: Caecus Carneliana was carrying out hostile procedures against the Section XXV, trying to free the captured subjects, but often failed to find the sites of the Section XXV. Rarely, members of C.C. were captured by Section XXV, but out of loyalty to the Collective did not pass much information on. A current member of the branches ("Hod") was created by Section XXV.

The Collective is still looking for subjects captured by Section XXV. However, Caecus Carneliana is not interested in the objects left by the department.

Notes for authors

WARNING:

This section is intended only for authors who want to write an article or tale about the Caecus Carneliana-Collective. Some places contain spoilers.

The tale series One Tree, One Jewel, One Family - Hub explains a lot about C.C. in its course, and all interested parties are encouraged to read it if they want to know more about the Collective.

[+] General

• Caecus Carneliana wants to achieve only one thing, the liberation of the sentient SCPs and the dispersal of the SCP Foundation.
• The SCP Foundation is not the only enemy of Caecus Carneliana, organizations like the GOC are also on the blacklist.
• 'Normal people' can't be members of C.C., only individuals with special abilities are selected. These are selected personally by Kether and put to a test, whether the new recruit really has the guts. Most branch members have a special past with the Foundation. Recruits can only be 'branches'.
• Caecus Carneliana has no usage for technology.
• Depending on the order the subordinates are polite towards the commanders (leaves -> fruits -> branches -> stem).
• In polite conversations between the subordinate and the commander, the branches call each other by the meaning of their name (for example, Daath -> The Knowledge, Kether -> The Crown).
• It's not like C.C. hates everything alive. C.C. Never attacks or threatens civilians, but passes on knowledge about the Foundation to them. One might argue whether with that C.C. puts civilians at risk, but the members of C.C. don't think like this. They want to bring the Foundation to the public and by this, weaken it.
• Object-like SCPs (such as SCP-036-DE or SCP-068-DE) don't matter to C.C.
• The Foundation has no 'internal' sources of information about the Collective³.
• The Collective has a fixed site (not to be confused with a site of the Foundation). The members use it for meetings.
• Groups of Interest with the same or at least similar goals as the Collective are considered by Caecus Carneliana as a 'partner' (not as a 'friend'!).

---

• All C.C.-articles are to be tagged with 'caecus-c'.

[+] Characters

Informant (SCP-032-DE) / Daath

• The informant does not want to destroy the Foundation! After his freeing (Incident 142I) he was guided by Dr. Brenner on the right way. He went back to C.C. to convince the members of Caecus Carneliana. He does not want any more bloodshed!
• On the contrary to his comrades, Daath can show compassion.
• Daath emits a special aura. For enemies and strangers it appears as cold and rigid, but for friends as light and warm.
• Don't kill the informant!
• The informant isn't being contained by the Foundation either!

Dr. Brenner

• Dr. Brenner is dead.
• He won't be revived or invoked by anyone.
• For his treason, the doctor was persecuted by the Foundation and then killed.

Kether

• Kether leads the Caecus Carneliana-Collective, but all offensive actions are first discussed with the branches.
• Kether was the one who brought the branches together, although they are only a tools for his goal.
• Kether is the founder of Caecus Carneliana.
• He never takes part in the offensive actions of C.C., he only observes them. Kether has completely different plans apart from the main goals of C.C.⁴, none of the C.C.-members know about Kethers plans.
• Kether isn't a human, not any more. He has no compassion and shows no mercy. He does not know what a 'fellow' or 'friends' are.
• Here too, Kether is neither killed, nor contained by the Foundation.

[+] Branches & other members of C.C.

• I ask for a prior agreement, if someone wants to write an article about a Branch!
• A Branch always has a name out of the Sephiroth.
• A Branch can be killed, but is then replaced.
• There are only 11 Branches!
• The characters in the Ein Baum, Ein Juwel, Eine Familie tale series are canon!
• There can theoretically be unlimited Fruits and Leaves.
• Leaves are mostly 'not alive' (e.g. SCP-020-DE).
• The strength of the abilities decreases with the hierarchical order (Kether = Stem > Daath = Branch > Vivyan = Fruit).
• Leaves always have a mark of C.C in some way.
• Leaves can develop emotions, but not without external influences.
