I'd like to preserve the universe in which you were.
Even if I would be left alone.
Even if this path would lead me to my gravestone.

"Saiga Factions" are organizations consisting of Rokumi Saiga (犀賀六巳) and his followers. Though their organizational activities have been confirmed only several times, their evidences have been detected from venues of anomalous phenomena all over the world, revealing their very wide range of activities. Though it has been revealed that they had based their operations formerly in Japan, their present state is unknown.
Rokumi Saiga seems to conduct his activities in mutiple parallel universes, revealing no background or identity. The Foundation has confirmed signs that he lived in Japan previously; however, he is not on any Census Registration of Japan. Saiga refers to himself as a scientist, known to have profound scientific knowledge centered on spatial-temporal physics focusing on movement between parallel universes. The individual possesses technologies to observe parallel universes, which differ from the present universe to which the Foundation belongs (hereafter the Present Universe), and move between them, often showing traces of intervention in target universes. His purpose is to save and relieve the target universes and mankind belonging to them, according to the documents discovered by Foundation investigation.
Saiga secretly possesses anomalous items collected from various parallel universes, and probably utilizes their anomalous properties to save parallel universes. However, apparently the anomalies are hidden in anomalous space, hindering the successful search for them. Saiga seems to have gained knowledge about the Foundation and other organizations relating to anomalous objects in the process of the movement between parallel universes, and pays close attention to hide himself from those organizations.
Plus, there are evidences that Saiga has had relationships with mankind in several parallel universes, and he has a certain number of followers in each universe. The followers refer to themselves as "Saiga Factions", and are basically friendly to mankind. But here "mankind" means mankind in the all of universes including parallel universes, so Saiga Factions' activities might severely damage the Present Universe. Saiga Factions don't stick to the Present Universe; when those damages are determined to be necessary to save mankind in the target universe or more universe, minimizing victims, they will conduct their activities without hesitation even if they anticipate the damage to the Present Universe. Therefore, the Foundation and other organizations recognize Saiga Factions as dangerous groups.
Though Saiga was considered to have already dead from the perspective of discovery circumstances of SCP-233-JP, following investigation revealed that he is potentially still in hiding in another dimension. He potentially continues his activities straddling multiple parallel universes in order to save "mankind" in some dimensions. However, it is unknown in detail — which universe the individual came from, whether he is Rokumi Saiga himself who started the activities, or whether he is Saiga's heir or identical being from another parallel universe.
Saiga Crest (See the top of this page) is used as a symbol of Saiga Factions.
One theory holds that the outer circle means a conceptional universe, that the black circle on the near side does the present world, and that the white one on the center does the saved world.
Saiga Factions often raise, worship, and flaunt the symbol. However, in only a few case it has been confirmed that Rokumi Saiga himself raised it while his activities. It shows that he makes it his principle to hide himself while his activities, in organizational contradiction to his followers' attempt to spread the activities. On the other hand, recovered documents imply that Saiga has realized such a situation and intentionally leaves Saiga Crest in the saved universes, expecting encouragement of solidarity.
Since Saiga Crest is considered to be important nodes for Saiga Factions' activities, it has been a subject to Foundation surveillance with various media, including the internet, books, and documents. Note, however, that Saiga has realized the surveillance, and also Foundation's detection of his realization.
— The prince loved sunset. Loved enough to sit on his chair at an adorably little planet, which is his house, in order to enjoy it all the livelong day. His planet was extremely small; all he needed to see another sunset was to angle his chair a little, just a little… —
Le Petit Prince, the nursery tale which motivated my curiosity to waft in the universe.
Where springhead of my inspiration is.
When I couldn't avoid end of "sunset", all I need is to find a new "sunset".
What is important is
the angle.

The atmosphere in the shelter has come to worst. Water and food are getting increasingly scarce, and medical supplies have already been exhausted. Since we, only students and children, cloud flee, there are no adults here. Even fussy kids get on my nerves. Everything — those dickwards caused everything.
The monsters. They ruined the world. Those whose bodies are kept at constantly high temperature, with five fingers and internal skeleton — the abominable monsters.
The emergency siren in the shelter wailed. Picking up arms, which may not be very effective though comforting, I, their elder, tempt them.
However, you know, the monster standing at the entrance of the shelter called out to us. Using air vibration, the monster, I mean, the person conveyed the words of salvation.
Dear Mr. Saiga.

At that day, the Lord Savior came with sorrow on His beauteous face. His mouth, which always has provided the truth and led all animate beings, lets just sighs out. As a bishop offered a question quakingly, He finally relaxed His features. With relaxed features and warm, embracing voice, the Lord Savior told;
"This angle has to be abolished again, as it is a variable number of my theorem."
The Lord Savior abolished everyone — His quaking bishop, servant maiden, and people walking in the town — and then has gone.
But mourn ye not; the distruction will not last forever. When we are about to lost forever, shall Saiga, the Lord Savior, come again.
In order to save us.

Among rubble still with whiff of past usual days, the man stands. His long white coat is terribly smeared with dust and blood.
"I have saved them… In +251.7°, now it's raining for the first time in several hundred years…"
The man looked heavenward. Ephemeral orangish sunset and sparkling stars came into his sight. At his foot is an oddly-squashed bloody cradle, blowing in a wind, and made a hushed sound.
"Wonderful…"
On his face, still looking up at the sky, is a string of tears — tears of delight.
