In case you've been wondering what we're doing here :)

The administrator is requiring that we all remain briefed on our mission statement. Any action running contrary to The SCP’s goals will see you terminated and red-lighted. He also threw in something about frozen assets and deportation, but I doubt he’d bother filling out the paperwork involved. Regardless, be absolutely positive that you understand the following and remember to connect to this blog through secure connections only. If this is leaked to the public… just don’t let it happen.

Mission Statement:

The Signal Cascade Project exists as a means for collecting a national database of genetic information. In building this comprehensive genetic database, which will eventually contain the DNA of every American, we hope to predict and correct the behavior of our citizens. It is this government’s belief that attaining the genetic information of its citizens is paramount to national security. As the very conception of the nation-state comes under question, it is crucial that we develop the necessary means of adapting our control. It is no longer sufficient to know our citizen’s past and present; we must be able to predict, with great certainty, their future. The Signal Cascade Project exists as this government’s long-term solution to assuring its continued authority.

As such, The SCP has been granted Imperative Operation Classification. As far as the United States government is concerned, The SCP’s ends justify nearly any means. We have been given an inexhaustible budget and access to all but the highest level programs including (but not limited to) those of the CIA, FBI, NSA, and DOD. Even so, success through conventional means is believed to be improbable if not impossible. Initial poling demonstrated a strong aversion and resentment to any claim on a citizen’s genetic information. It was accepted that we do not currently have the means of legitimating any such claim. In addition, we do not have the means of enforcing any national mandate or physical apprehension of said information. Rather, we believe that the opposition to a show of force of that magnitude would result in the possible illegitimacy and dissolution of the state.

Thus, the original SCP was created as a think tank devoted to the creation of an Atypical Subversive Strategy. In other words, The SCP was created to convince the population to willingly volunteer their genetic information. If the public’s relation to their genetic information can be modified, then their behavior regarding their genetic information can be modified. These ASSs capitalize on the relative novelty of the genome and the public’s general misconceptions and ignorance regarding its meaning.

The current iteration of the Signal Cascade Project was born out of the most promising ASSs, which will be explained in further detail later. It is now The SCPs mission to carry out these strategies as well as begin rudimentary planning for the eventual use of the collected information.

Due to the highly confidential nature of this project, any unauthorized declassification of information will lead to the physical termination of the parties involved.

In my eyes, we’re playing with fire. Most of the country will buy whatever we tell them, but I can’t help but worry that someone will catch on to us. I don’t have the classification to view the “Atypical Subversive Strategy” yet, but if I get that promotion to Section Two next week I’ll hook you guys up. From what I hear it’s pretty rock-solid. Still, a little foresight into where we’re headed will help us keep these oh-so-sweet salaries, no?
