SCP Control, Containment, Protection

Humanity has existed for 250,000 years, but only the last 4,000 have mattered.

So what were we doing for nearly 250,000 years? We hid in caves, huddled around tiny campfires, afraid of the things we didn't understand: explanations for how the sun rose, monsters with human heads and bird bodies, stones that were alive. So we called them "gods" and "demons," and begged them for forgiveness and prayed for salvation.

Then their numbers dwindled, and ours grew. As there were fewer and fewer things to fear, we began to view the world more rationally. And yet the inexplicable things never disappeared, as if the universe were deliberately showing off its absurdity and impossibility.

Humanity can no longer live in fear. Nothing can protect us. We must protect ourselves.

While others live in the sunlight, we must fight them in the shadows and keep them hidden from the public eye, so that everyone else can live in a rational, ordinary world.

We control, we contain, we protect.
