O.N.W.A.R.D.

Office of Neurological Weapons and Alternative Research & Development

O.N.W.A.R.D. is a paramilitary research and intervention organization of unknown origin, first identified by the SCP Foundation on December 5th, 2022, following the Site-30 Incident. O.N.W.A.R.D. is advertised as an ultra-secret organization operating under the International Crisis Security Council (I.C.S.C.); investigation suggests a deeper infrastructure, applied neuroscience, cybernetics, and para-cognitive weapons development, with tactical deployment capabilities rivaling those of MTF detachments.

Their stated mission, as relayed by a captured operative (Peter Remington), is to “provide global assistance to the human race.” However, their access to secure Foundation distress frequencies, their use of classified comms encryption, and their possession of bio-augmented soldiers with embedded command protocols imply an origin rooted either within a defected Foundation sub-division or an unacknowledged black-budget program that evolved beyond Foundation oversight.

Subsequent intelligence indicates that O.N.W.A.R.D.’s capability is not limited to regions or sophisticated R&D, but is supported by a structured, internationally sanctioned asset pipeline operating under a supranational framework. This program operates through an internationally sanctioned covered-up treaty from the 1940s, enabling the legal transfer, conditioning, and restructuring of juvenile volunteers into non-military combat assets operating exclusively under O.N.W.A.R.D. authority. Internally designated as <Project R.E.C.K.O.N.>, these operatives represent the organization’s primary operational extent: an adaptive strike architecture engineered for recursive lethality, strategic persistence, and post-contact evolutionary response.

Structure and Organization

O.N.W.A.R.D. 's hierarchy mirrors Foundation command models but employs numerical codenames and irregular ranks, denoting clearance and operational authority rather than seniority. Each unit operates as part of a Squadron, under the control of a centralized intelligence system or command AI referred to as OVERWATCH.

Known designations include:

Ordinal Command — Senior field officers, likely post-human or cybernetically stabilized assets.
OVERWATCH — Central command network, presumed AI-supervised or highly sophisticated and complex leadership framework.
OW-QATO / OW-IRI — Subdivisional identifiers, possibly regional or operational branches. The suffixes correspond to unique serial lines embedded into operatives (e.g., OW-QATO 2993-012).

Each operative carries serial designations tattooed into their skin, and their armor systems are integrated with identification strings that act as both IFF tags and bio-monitor relays. O.N.W.A.R.D. forces display genetic modification markers, synthetic organ grafting, and vocoded vocal modulation, suggesting either neurological weaponization or cognitive augmentation protocols.

Operational Profile

O.N.W.A.R.D. has demonstrated:

Advanced infiltration and exfiltration capabilities, including unregistered air transport and adaptive stealth signatures, suggesting highly developed military doctrine and experience.
Anomalous battlefield endurance, with operatives continuing combat after catastrophic injury.
Integrated combat AIs and synaptic relay implants, allowing squad cohesion without verbal communication.
Nonstandard doctrine, prioritizing surgical containment, termination, and retrieval of anomalous threats using mixed technology unknown to the Foundation.

During the Site-30 Incident, O.N.W.A.R.D. inserted two squads into an active breach without prior authorization, sustaining 75% casualties within ten minutes of contact with SCP-939 entities. Despite this, their actions allowed Foundation MTF Kappa-5 (“Full-Metal Jackets”) to reclaim the facility. Survivors displayed near-total emotional flatness and procedural adherence, indicating potential conditioning or mnemonic regulation.

Following Site-30’s reclamation, the Foundation detained the surviving operatives. Standard amnestic treatment was halted by Administrator “Nautilus”, who authorized the acquisition of Ordinal 3 (Remington) into Foundation service. Per order of Admin "Nautilus", Remington and the survivors of the Site-30 were formally acquired from O.N.W.A.R.D. through secure channels for a total value of USD $2.1 billion. Its later reassignment from Site-76 to Site-73 to Site-66 is cited as a “clerical error,” though several internal memos suggest deliberate placement for monitoring and reverse-engineering O.N.W.A.R.D.'s neurological assets.

Dr. Domantus Kazlauskas’s initial interview with Remington confirms O.N.W.A.R.D.'s hypothesized structure, tactical organization, and a high degree of cognitive compartmentalization. Remington’s inability or refusal to disclose information appears willful, but is also neurologically restricted by embedded inhibitors.

Known O.N.W.A.R.D. operatives exhibit:

Blunted mechanized speech, suggesting neuro-conditioning.
Vocoded masking, possibly to suppress vocal identifiers or emotional inflection, additionally suggests tertiary mechanical implants.
Cortical reinforcement implants, assumed to stabilize cognition under high-anomaly exposure.
High resistance to amnestics and dramatically increased pain tolerance, likely due to biological editing or increased number of cognitive implants.

Remington himself, designated OW-QATO 2993-012, demonstrates obedience to “OVERWATCH” and recognition of Foundation command as “secondary hierarchy,” implying some pre-existing knowledge of Foundation protocol frameworks.

Foundation Profile:

Threat Classification: Controlled / Cooperative (conditional) potentially endangering to the greater public and the Foundation.
Original Hypothesis:
- Rogue offshoot of a pre-Foundation weapons research directorate
- Independent PMC specializing in neuro-cybernetic warfare
- Governmental paramilitary network using recovered anomalous technology
Ongoing Missions:
- Identify and trace remaining O.N.W.A.R.D. operatives (3 unaccounted for).
- Analyze recovered O.N.W.A.R.D. equipment for anomalous signatures.
- Investigate O.N.W.A.R.D. for potential digital or extradimensional nature.
- Continue observation of Subject Peter Remington, Site-66.

Addendum 002.1:

“O.N.W.A.R.D. represents a new frontier in the weaponization of the human mind. They are nothing like the insurgents, not saviors, not contractors. They are the lightyears ahead of any conclusion of every failed ethics meeting the Foundation ever held.”

— Dr. D. Kazlauskas, post-interview memorandum, 12/11/22
