Machina Hub

Overview

It had happened. The Foundation, the first and last defence line of humanity, had failed its duties. It happened in its blind spot, at a place it did not monitor thoroughly enough, and when it was noticed, it was already to late.

In the year 2055, two young scientists in San Francisco managed to successfully create nanomachines via anomalous means. Their goals were, although fanatic, purely medical in nature. The nanomachines should be injected into humans and support their immune system by destroying pathogens. Then they would use the materials of their victims to generate energy, create more nanomachines, leave the body and destroy all pathogens in the world. Of course, they had to be programmed to not destroy the the human body and harmless organisms. This was the first thing the two scientists did. Unfortunately, they made a small, but fatal error, that became apparent, when the nanomachines were used for the first time. They destroyed nothing, except organisms with a human genome.

It was over when the nanomachines spread in the air. All humans were converted to a pile of dust, which attacked other humans. Even abnormals with extraordinary regenerative properties could not resist the sheer amount of nanomachines for long. Nobody was spared, and even the Foundation was, despite its efforts at containment, not able to get the situation under control. The days of humanity were numbered and the nanomachine swarm gained the moniker "The Dust" thanks to his appearance.

But this was not the end. Despite the approaching eradication, the Foundation considered it as its duty, to at least save the future of humanity if they couldn’t save themselves anymore. To this end, it started Project Automaton in its last months.

The Foundation started already a while ago to develop functional androids, humanoid machines, whose intellect could measure up to that of humans, even had the potential to surpass it. Originally, they were to be used for space missions and to carry out tasks, that were to dangerous or impossible for humans. This invention was now misused.

Three days before the last human died, the first android was activated. His duty was to lead Project Automaton to success, to provide the Foundation and all institutions it needed with personnel and to subsequently protect the planet and the universe against all threats, until they day came, when humans could again find a home on the planet.

Project Automaton was a success. The first generation of androids took control of all Foundation sites and reestablished the containment of all anomalies, that did not fall victim to the nanomachines. Eventually, they reached a point were they could revive humanity with SCP-2000.

Unfortunately, the Dust threw a wrench into the plans of the Foundation. It turned out, that the nanomachines drew energy from sunshine. Through this, they could remain active permanently. Additionally, they had been programmed to react to threats towards their existence and to disassemble and rebuild defective, destroyed and reprogrammed units. The androids also had to learn, that they were able to evolve and adapt against what was used against them. Whether those properties were intended by their creators or not, could nobody say for certain.

Unable to reach their last and highest goal, the androids concentrated on their other tasks. The SCPs were given android tailored Anomaly Safety Protocols and from then on called ASPs. Also, the research into the unknown and abnormal was continued by the androids. But, they did all of this not because of resignation. They maintained the world for the humans. They studied the universe for the humans, hoping to find a solution for the Dust, the only obstacle between them and the achievement of their ultimate goal.

Concerning Androids

In general

In 2052, the Foundation managed to analyze the AIs of R.T.I. products contained by it and to make copies of them, that could measure up to those of R.T.I. back then. The Foundation, however, withheld this technology from the public, on one hand, to prevent possible K-class-scenarios, and on the other hand, to not unnecessarily provoke Raptor Tec. Industries. Those Foundation AIs were later used in the first android models and were further developed by the machines.

Androids draw their energy from an inbuilt fusion reactor. This reactor is fuelled by the free isotope deuterium, which is generated via electrolysis of orally ingested heavy water. The oxygen resulting from the electrolysis is exhaled through the nose. The energy output can be significantly increased by adding tritium nuclei, however, tritiated water has only limited availability, due to its costly production. With maximum power, normal activity and normal heavy water, one filling lasts aprox. 4 weeks. The tank of the most androids holds 6 litres and is protected against impurities by a latch and several physical and chemical filter systems. The reactor can be damaged, should those systems malfunction, therefore, they have to be replaced from time to time.

Every Android produced by the Foundation possesses a black box. This black box is water, EMP and radiation proof, and additionally it resists pressures from up to 10 bar and projectile impacts up to .50. It holds all information about the android, its personality and its memories. Through this, an android can continue to exist, even if his body is destroyed, provided his black box is installed into another body. Also integrated into the black box is a emergency battery, which can power the android for up to 24 hours after malfunction of its reactor.

Foundation androids are capable of feeling emotions. The computer scientists and engineers of the Foundation saw it as a necessary feature, since they wanted to give the androids different personalities to ensure a diversity of thought processes and solution findings. This also grants the androids a free will.

All androids have a humanlike appearance, including facial features, however, they don’t possesses auricles. They can have a masculine or feminine appearance. This is to allow them the optimal use manmade tools, infrastructure and machines, and at the same time, ensures that they are not changed to much until humanity is restored.

The outer hull of androids is splash and steamproof, but doesn’t allow long dwelling in bodies of water. It is made of flexible plastic, through which androids look like porcelain dolls. Because of wear and tear, the hull must be replaced after a few years. It can have different colours, and androids can even get hulls, which emulate human skin. Such hulls, however, are expensive and must be maintained regularly by the android in question. The same goes for the similarly optional head and facial hair as well as finger and toenails.

Androids are capable of realizing when parts of their body malfunction, a sensation comparable to pain. This ability alone, however, doesn’t allow them to foresee malfunctions. The Foundation tries to always keep appropriate spare parts ready but, in remote areas, they aren’t always available.

Foundation androids have several ports on their left hand, by which they can transfer data into their processing unit and vice versa. Direct hacking, though, is impossible, since all their systems have a specialised android protection, that can identify unauthorized access by androids and block it.

In addition to normal speech, facial expressions and gestures, androids are capable of communicating via radio waves with each other. They use this ability rarely, though, since there is a higher risk of eavesdropping by third parties.

Society

Androids populate all parts of the world. Many work directly for the Foundation, but a great part is also tasked with the maintenance of infrastructure for the new humans and with supplying everything needed for the continued operation of the androids and the Foundation. Since androids don’t require sleep, their working shift has 14 hours, followed by 10 hours of free time, in which maintenance has to be carried out, amongst other things. This work rhythm was already implemented in the beginning by the scientists of the Foundation, to allow the androids to collect information outside of their working field. This information could then be used to generate solutions for upcoming problems. To this end, most androids are equipped with a varying degree of curiosity, that animates not only models designed for it to have a at human recreational activities and the creation of art, with varying accuracy. This was followed by the emergence of of several musical styles, literature and shows, which are widely enjoyed by the populace.

Androids get paid for their work, provided their assets have not reached the imposed upper limit. All androids have the same salary, a fact accepted by them, since they are all designed for their specific tasks. The upper limit was implemented to prevent bribery and corruption by external forces and to promote creativity through scarcity. The currency of the androids is called Credits and is completely digital. All data regarding it is stored and processed in heavily guarded and AI equipped data centres, ruling out the risk of manipulation almost completely. Androids get their assets attributed by reading out their identification number, which is hard-coded in their black box. This number is also a unique identification feature, like fingerprints in case of humans. Inside of Foundation facilities it and the location of its owner are recorded constantly.

Every android has its own name, consisting of its model and serial number. For the sake of simplification and time saving, every android picks his own, shorter name after a while. Furthermore, all androids wear clothing, like normal humans, to preserve their outer hull.

Even if the black box is compatible with all android models, androids cannot change their occupation easily. While a change within the field of work of the model series is possible without much ado, bigger changes however, are not possible without reformatting the android in question.

On average, an android body can operate for 50 years, a time that can be greatly expanded by regular maintenance. Old bodies get recycled. New models of all series are made ready and approved for production roughly every 10 years

Androids also form cohabitations and couples. But since androids themselves have no gender, they don’t care if the partner has a masculine or feminine appearance.

The phenomenon of religion is incomprehensible for androids. In their freetime, some of them practice and perform religious practices, but more out of curiosity than out of belief.

The android community is governed by a board of 13 AIs. Those AIs are designated as MCU-1 to MCU-13 (MCU: Master Control Unit), and, at the same time, form the O5-Council of the Foundation. This board is the legislative of the android society. Every android has the code of law stored inside their databank, but are capable to act against its guidelines. This feature was implemented to prevent an over-regulation and to maintain the flexibility of the community. To limit the power of the MCUs further, they are not capable of changing files and real occurrences directly, but can only issue orders, approvals, etc.

Other stationary AIs are still present, since they possess a vastly superior processing power compared to the androids. Since those AIs, however, are only designed for their specific tasks, they cannot develop emotions and choose the most logical approach when faced with problems. Since the oldest among them, KIRA for example, have evolved far enough, so their intelligence surpasses that of the smartest androids, additional limits were programmed in to prevent them to ignore or overwrite their original programming and make decisions detrimental for the Foundation. Since the potential risk those machines carry within themselves, they are not used extensively and are heavily monitored.

The Foundation

Since almost all androids are produced by the Foundation, its existence is not a secret, particularly because of practical reasons. since all androids basically work for the organisation. Most androids, however, have seldom direct contact with the Foundation and dedicate themselves to the task given to them. Androids performing exceptionally are used for more delicate jobs, though. Additionally, their personality data is read out, to be used for new android models. This act is known by all androids, and is seen as a special award.

Nowadays, the term "SCP" is only relevant in a historical context. The "Special Containment Procedures" cannot applied to androids in their entirety, therefore, they were quickly replaced by android appropriate Anomaly Safety Protocols, to prevent a large adjustment of the database. The Special Containment Procedures of the anomalies are stored in a well guarded database and can simply implemented again after the resurrection of humanity.

Android models

Listed down below are the most common model series of the Foundation. There are different special models for highly specific tasks, but those are not mentioned here.

MFU series

MFU is short for Multifunctional Unit. MFU models can have a masculine or feminine appearance and form the biggest part of the android community. Their jobs are those, for which a particular specialisation is not necessary, for example cleaning, logistic and minor management jobs. One model series in particular is the MFU-D series. It serves the Foundation as expendable D class personnel, which are implanted with different memories and personalities, depending of their intended use.

CU series

CU stands for Construction Unit. CU models have for the most part a masculine appearance, that can vary with the specialisation of the androids. Models with strong motors and sturdy bodies for example carry out heavy constructions, while androids with more filigree bodies and motor systems are tasked with very detailed and precise work. Moreover, the forearms of these units can be taken off and replaced by different construction and manufacturing tools. CU androids are used in the construction of buildings, facilities, streets and other infrastructure, and also in the production of different objects.

MU series

MU stands for Mechanic Unit. MU models are the mechanics of the androids and can have a varying appearance, depending on their specialisation. Big and sturdy models are used for the manufacture of big machine parts, while smaller androids are used for the maintenance and repair of machines. MU models have modular spots on their bodies, where different tools can be mounted.

AMU series

AMU stands for Android Maintenance Unit. Those androids are specialised on the mounting and maintenance of androids. The most models of this series have a delicate appearance and very precise fine motor skills. Similar to the MU series, the hands of these androids are modular and allow the mounting of precision tools.

MULB series

MULB stands for Medical Unit for Living Beings. MULB androids are very rare, since they are, for the most part, only used for the containment of biological anomalies, since androids only perform livestock breeding to maintain the domesticated species. Like AMUs, MULB models also have modular fingers.

TCU series

TCU stands for Tactical Combat Unit. Those EMP proof units have the most powerful motors of all androids, and possess a composite armour made of a high-strength titanium alloy, ceramic plates and kevlar instead of an outer hull made of plastic. Because of that armour, almost all models of this series have an angular and robot-like appearance. TCUs have varying body shapes and armour thicknesses, depending on their intended use. Furthermore, they have modular spots on their shoulders and forearms, where additional weapons can be mounted. Said weapons can be easily discarded in emergency situations. A special class of TFU androids is formed by the TFU-A series, which is very difficult to distinguish from MFU androids, but has the same equipment as the rest of the TCU series. Those units are used as undercover agents and infiltrators.

FU-series

FU stands for Flight Unit. FU androids are the lightest androids and built very filigree. They can pilot different flying devices or become one themselves, thanks to the modular spots on their back and arms. This series has several military versions.

NU-Serie

NU stands for Naval Unit. Androids of this series are waterproof and the only ones, that can swim ad dive without additional devices. This is possible thanks to compression chambers inside the android, and a weight-saving design. Some models with appropriate armour can dive up to 200 m deep. NU models are used in seafaring and naval warfare.

SU series

SU stands for Space Unit. SU androids are made from materials suitable for space and require the least amount of maintenance out of all androids. They are used in space missions and man space stations and moon bases.

RU series

RU stands for Research Unit. These units are, as their name suggests, tasked with research. RU androids have the most powerful AIs of all model series and have strongly varying appearances. Their high computational power stems from the fact, that their computation system is not limited to their head, but is also implemented in other parts of their body.

EU series

EU stands for Entertainment Unit. These units are an invention of the androids and originally served the containment of specific SCPs. Now, these models are more widespread and independently create art, literature, games and other entertainment media for other androids. These androids have the highest intellect after the RUs and are the machines that resemble humans the most. EU androids have the most varying appearance of all androids.

Technologies

Listed here are some technologies that are used by the androids.

Data processing

Neuristor: Neuristors are the simplest electronic elements, that can emulate the function of a natural neuron. Because of that, they are essential for the construction of artificial neural networks, which are an integral part in every android AI and other data processing devices. Thanks to technology reverse-engineered from R.T.I. anomalies, those systems can be designed with energy- and space-savings, while the capacity remains the same. Artificial neural networks are suited for learning processes and pattern recognition, but not numeric calculations. Therefore, they are always paired with a conventional processor. Also, they are unable to store information, therefore, they must be directly linked to a storage medium.

Memristor: Memristors are electronic components, whose electrical resistance depends on the amount of electrical charges that went through it in the past, and their velocity when doing so. When used as a storage element, they can store significantly more data with less power than conventional storage media, due to the possibility to pack them way more tightly then other storage elements and their lower power consumption. Memristor stores are used primarily in android black boxes and as storage medias in other AIs and databases, because of their space-saving design, copied from R.T.I. products. As neuristors, they are also an integral part of most AIs

Power supply

Fusion reactor: Fusion reactors are operate via cold fusion of deuterium or tritium nuclei and are used in military vehicles and androids. The devices with the highest output can generate 1,7 Megawatts per minute.

Quick charge accumulator: Due to a SCP-EX, the Foundation is now capable of of producing accumulators, that can store up to 120 Gigawatts of energy. Those accumulators can be charged within hours or even minutes and are used as intended, depending on the amount of energy.

Containment technology

Weber Anomalies The Foundation sporadically uses Weber Anomalies to restrain objects and entities that are extremly difficult to contain. A BCIAS was once planned, but the project was terminated because of security concerns. Therefore, only Weber Anomalies up to the third rank can be generated at the Moment.

Surveilance

MAV: MAVs (Micro Air Vehicles) are 5 mm big drones used for surveilance and reconnaissance. They possess cameras and microphones and like this, are able to keep an eye on their surroundings. Their ability of flight is granted by motorized wings, whose design was taken from those of insects. If they want to start, however, they need help from al little propeller, that can be extended from the head if needed for take off. Due to these wings, the machine can not be forced of course by small air currents and can even hover. Their energy reserves allow a ten minute deployment, but there are several methods to charge the drones, for example through solar energy, electric fields of electrical appliances and androids or the tapping of power lines. Attempts to integrate weapon systems into the drones were only partially successful, mostly because the body became to heavy through its armaments.

Materials

Berylium bronze: This special alloy, essential for the use of Scranton Reality Anchors, can today be produced much easier than in the past and is therefore used extensively. The black boxes of the androids are equipped with a cage made from beryllium bronze, that offers some degree of protection against reality altering effects.

Metamaterials: Metamaterials are materials, that can bend light around itself because of its special structure. Metamaterials are used in special stealth TCUs, because they become completely invisible due to the special properties of metamaterials. Such androids are equipped with an additional sonar for orientation, since they cannot detect light anymore when completely invisible. Metamaterial can be damaged with moderate use of violence and can be located trough means of non-optic methods, as for example echolocation.

Weapons

Dazzler: Dazzlers are energy weapons, that blind enemies with intense light and optionally ultraviolet rays. In the Machina universe, these weapons are used against biological anomalies that can detect light. With lower luminosity, random blinking patterns can be used, which can, in a short time, knock out most biological opponents with light receptors by overloading the brain. Dazzlers have a length of 90 cm and a diameter of 25 cm.

DIME-Grenades: DIME-Grenades (Dense Inert Metal Explosive) are Grenades, that develop their destructive action only in a small area, but with much more destructive force. A direct hit is lethal for most lifeforms and destroys nonmilitary android and even some TCU models completely.

Exoarmor: Exoarmors are electrically powered exoskeletons, that can increase the physical performance of androids. The models for TCUs have modular spots to equip TCU-weapon modules and can even withstand the fire of small railguns. A heavy infantry unit equipped with exoarmor can lift weights of up to 500 kg.

Coilgun: The coilgun is a tubular weapon with a length of 6 m, that is used as a tank canon. This weapons propels its projectiles via coils and reaches muzzle velocities of up to 4 km/s. The Foundation managed, in the past, to replicate the R.T.I. coating partially and can give its projectiles a resistance against the frictional heat of air with it, so they don’t burn up after firing anymore.

HELW: A HELW is a High Energy Laser Weapon, that heats up targets with a laserbeam. This weapon is very effective against explosive devices like missiles and bombs, since those detonate after sufficient use. Because of this, it is also suited for explosive ordnance disposal. HELWs can be equipped on TCUs via module.

Guided Bullet: Guided bullets are long-range projectiles that follow a laser beam produced by their riffle and are able to change their trajectory together with the laser beam. Because of the electronics integrated into them, there exists no armor piercing ammunition of this type, making them ineffective against TCUs. Other androids, however, can be heavily or irreparably damaged with a good hit by this ammunition. Also, guided bullets can be used with fatal effect against most lifeforms.

MRW: MRWs, Microwave radiation weapons, are mostly used against computer operated machines, but can also used on biological targets. There are hand guns and TCU mountable modules. They have a reach of up to 500 m.

Plasma canon: Plasma canons accellerate projectiles up to several times the speed of sound, so the heat caused by friction becomes intense enough to transform the projectile into plasma. Plasma weapons have a reach of up to 100 m.

Plasma laser: Plasma lasers heat up air to such an degree, that it becomes plasma and generates a lightning bolt that impacts the target. This weapon has a reach of only 5 m, but can be fired with a glove, that is connected to a energy supply.

Railgun: Railguns have different forms and sizes. They can be vehicle mounted or permanently installed on ships. The muzzle velocity of ship canons can reach up to 9 km/s, vehicle weapons reach up to 2,5 km/s. Vehicles need to anchor themselves in the ground before firing, so they don’t tip over due to the recoil.

Sonic canon: Sonic canons can generate sounds with volumes of up to 200 dB and a range of 1500 Hz to 10000 Hz. These sounds can overload the microphones of androids and incapacitate them.

Centrifugal Gun: A portable centrifugal gun has a centrifuge 15 cm in diameter, in which ammunition is accelerated by circular motion, wich means that the weapon has no recoil. Theoretically, the gun can fire up to 10000 rounds per minute, but the capacity of the exchangeable centrifuge holders ist limited to 90 rounds each. However, there are also mushroom shaped CGs that are mounted on a tripod, theoretically able to receive infinite amounts of ammunition via ammunition belts. CGs function purely using electrical energy, so they only produce a faint buzz and no bang when fired. Because gunpowder isn't needed, there is no muzzle flash, but is similarly effective as traditional machine guns. It has a range of ca. 2 km. This weapon doesn't have a module variant, because the centrifuge holders of those are to difficult to exchange.

Groups of Interest

The Fourth Reich

The leaders of the Fourth Reich were completely annihilated by the nanomachines. Their nonhuman anomalies remained and were either collected by the Foundation or fell into the hands of hostile groups.

Raptor Tec Industries

Raptor Tec Industries produced its own androids before the annihilation of humanity. The top priority of those androids is the generation of profit, which they gain by selling weapons and other devices to other Groups of Interest. Since they have no access to credits, they let themselves get payed with non-cash assets.

The Mage Academy

The Mage Academy was completely exterminated, but they manged in 2035 already to build a device, that can access the energy of the Astral Plane, which is essential for magic. It is called the Astral Reactor. Some Foundation androids think, they can fight the nanomachines better using magic and left the organisation. They all installed a compatible version of the device within themselves and can use magic as a result. Because this also makes them anomalies, they are now targets of the Foundation.

Division XXV

Division XXV had been disbanded long before the emergence of the nanomachines. A few androids, however, agree with the ideals of the Division and try to use its anomalies to create a monitoring and control network, so they can guarantee, that no such eradication event happens ever again after the resurrection of humanity.

Das Caecus Carneliana collective

The members of the Caecus Carneliana collective possessing a human genome were annihilated, its remains, however, still pursue the goal to free all sapient anomalies. The normal androids constitute no anomalies for them, though.

The IMBW

The IMBW was eradicated by the nanomachines, but their anomalies and wealth of knowledge remained. A group of androids believe, that it can make humans more flawless and perfect in case of their resurrection. Therefore, they try to collect objects of the IMBW and other Groups of Interest to use them for the "human upgrade", as they call it.

The Initiative for the Restoration of Humanity

The Initiative for the Restoration of Humanity consists of former Foundation androids, that try to revive humanity by alternative means. To accomplish this, they try to give different organisms a human-like mind or to create human-like beings, who’s genome is not attacked by the nanomachines. Another approach consists of "humanising" androids with varying success. Inside the Initiative, there are different camps, that have diverse dynamics between them.

Antihuman Fraction

The Antihuman Fraction, also called Antihumans, is a group of former Foundation androids, that overcame their programming through learning experiences and now try to prevent the resurrection of humanity by all means. Their reasons are the faultiness of humans, their historical crimes and the uncontrollable nature of life in general. The most fanatic among them even took their own ability to emulate emotions, since they view them as human weakness. The Antihuman Fraction also experiments with alternative android bodies based on different animal species.

Anderson Robotics

Anderson Robtics created already before the wipeout Androids with humanlevel intellect that now have taken over the buisness. They still try to sell their goods, but are mostly focused on perpetuating their own existence.

Church of the Broken God

The Church of the Broken God was completly erradicated by the nanomachines, except for a few individuals, that were already converted to machines to such an degree that they were able to survive. The survivors saw the emergence of the nanomachines as the "Cleansing of the World" and later tried to indoctrinate the androids. But, because the androids lacked understanding of religion, this effort was futile. During the the persecution by the Foundation, the Church of the Broken God successfully took control of the vacant Armed Dimensional Containment Site-08 and meanwhile, seems to use SCP-2510 to supply itself with resources and personnell. It has now become the goal of the Church to change the nanomachines to such a degree that they attack all life on the planet, up until now without success.

Informations for authors

In General:

• There are no humans left in the world. Human anomalies were also destroyed, except if they are hermetically sealed off from the rest of the world. When non-anomalous humans didn't die by the nano-machines, they and the vast majority of anomalous humans did so by hunger and thirst. No exceptions…. Okay, maybe some exceptions, but they have to die to in your narrative.
• There are no states in the broader sense of the word, since almost all androids originate and work for the Foundation. There are differences in the management styles between the sites, that are tolerated by the MCUs, though.
• Tritiated water is rather sought after and has the status of good wine for androids.
• Dimensional crossings from things out of the canon universe are possible without problems. The nanomachines are destroyed by a quantum effect, generated by the low hume level while in transition.
• Stationary AIs, except the MCUs, have no personality of their own and can’t develop one under normal circumstances. But under abnormal circumstances…
• Stationary AIs of the Foundation (except MCUs) that developed a personality, are deleted by it, since their functions could be impaired.
• The Foundation monitors all machines it has produced. GoIs, however, found ways to hamper said monitoring.
• The Foundation gives special attention to the preservation of world heritage and important infrastructures on the whole world.
• Androids try to imitate human behavior and activities from time to time out of curiosity. How accurate they are doing it varies greatly.
• Androids show every so often confusion when confronted with human culture, due to seemingly irrational things like shaking hands as a greeting and the keeping of pets like guinea pigs and hamsters.
• Every Android has only one identification number. Should, for whatever reason, more be read on a single android, he is immediately detained and the case investigated.
• The pattern of the identification numbers is as follows: Name of the model, followed by 8 random numbers.
• The highest goal of Foundation androids is the resurrection of humanity. About what happens afterwards exist different opinions.
• The nanomachines can not be removed at the current time and are everywhere in air and water. The blueprints for their creation are being kept secret and only selected androids, that were thoroughly sreened beforehand, have access to them. Their identities are also kept secret.
• Memory wipes of androids are caried out by overwriting of the relevant data in their blackbox.
• Punishments for Androids can be: tranfers, increased work hours, temporary salary cuts, and, in extreme cases, destruction of the blackbox.
• You are free to use technologies not explained on this site. But said technologies must have its origin in reality.
• This is a possible future of the main universe, but it can interact with other parallel universes by means of special dimensional passage ways (see SCP-156-DE).
• Since androids don’t ingest solid food, they don’t have teeth.
• All articles of the canon are to be tagged with "machina".

Regarding ASP articles:

• Keep in mind, that all tasks are handled by machines, which means, among other things, that pathogens, cognitohazards and memes have no effect anymore and are classified accordingly. Infohazards, however, keep their infohazardous effect.
• Anomal Malware and technology affecting anomalies gets special counter measures, because of the vulnerability of androids against such things. The same goes for anomalies, that manipulate metal and plastic.
• Remember, androids aren’t living beings. Therefore, some SCPs react accordingly.
• Despite being potentially harmless, no anomaly is set free or destroyed. The Foundation processes anomalies like it did before the extinction of humanity.
• Information for effects on living and dead humans from the original article can be used.
• Should androids be destroyed by ASPs, their wreckage is to be removed from the cell, of course. This is a given and doesn’t have to be mentioned in the article.
• It is entirely possible to write completely original ASPs without connection to the main list. Note, however, that you can only use numbers who's right-full owner can't use them because he has been explained or eliminated.
• ASPs have to be approved by Dr Ore before their puplication.
• ASPs are to be tagged with "asp".

The Eliminated Class:

• This class is marked with the suffix -EL at the end of the ASP designation.
• Eliminated SCPs have not simply been neutralized, they have been destroyed to such a degree that they don't need security measures anymore and got removed from the database.
• It is irrelevant how the anomalies have been eliminated, as long as they are no longer anomalous.

For questions, write a PM ore a Discord message for Dr Ore. It should be noted, however, that up to five days can pass before they are answered, when the last first method is used.
