+ Welcome to ORDOX
[[/div]]
ORDOX is not a typical anomaly-containment organization. It does not conquer. It does not neutralize. It listens. It reflects. It _understands_.
Rooted in the unseen directive of a hypothesized ontological entity known only as **[[[scp-ordox-000 | Source-0]]]**, ORDOX represents a paradigm shift in anomalous study and interaction. Where other groups strive to suppress anomalies, ORDOX seeks to decode them — not for power, but for truth.
The organization is structured around a secretive high-clearance council known as the **Cardinal-7**, which acts upon the interpreted will of **[[[scp-ordox-000 | Source-0]]]**, delivered solely through its enigmatic emissary, **Ex Cause** — a humanoid anomaly whose body, mind, and soul appear bound to **[[[scp-ordox-000 | Source-0]]]**’s elusive consciousness.
ORDOX is decentralized, operating through **cloaked philosophical enclaves** and **anomalous neural networks**, rather than bunkers or blacksites. All activity is filtered through a four-fold principle:
- **Locate** – Ordox operatives are tasked with locating anomalies across all known and hidden dimensions, timelines, and conceptual spaces. Detection is prioritized through intel-sharing, psychic imprints, or spontaneous anomaly spikes. No anomaly escapes our attention for long.
- **Secure** – Once located, all anomalies are to be isolated from public interaction, local perception, and inter-anomalous interference. Securement is not merely physical — it extends to informational, metaphysical, and ontological containment. In cases where containment is impossible, recursive obfuscation and global misinformation protocols may be deployed.
- **Use** – Every anomaly holds a potential application. Ordox is committed to extracting knowledge, energy, or mechanisms from anomalies in service of humanity. Whether it's medical enhancement, dimensional travel, or existential resilience — the anomalous is not just feared. It is understood and applied.
- **Destroy** – Not all anomalies can be understood or used. Some threaten the fabric of humanity, time, or cognition itself. In such cases, neutralization becomes a priority. Extermination units operate under Aegis Protocols to eliminate threats swiftly, with minimal collateral damage and maximum secrecy.
Multiple anomalies currently under ORDOX analysis defy containment, logic, or classification. Among them is **SCP-ORDOX-000**, also known as **[[[scp-ordox-000 | Source-0]]]**, a potentially sapient ontological anchor with no confirmed form, function, or origin — and yet referenced in dozens of metaphysical events across continents.
ORDOX holds a complex stance toward other anomalous entities and organizations. Its members are known to appear within SCP Foundation blacksites, not to steal anomalies, but to leave behind encoded philosophical insight. Hostility is rare, but so is permission.
This is not a faction. This is not a rebellion.
This is **ORDOX**: The organization that whispers back.

+ About ORDOX
----
> **“To know the unknown. To shape the impossible. For humanity.”**
**Ordox** is an independent, non-aligned, and highly classified global initiative that emerged within the shadow cast by the anomalous. Operating outside the jurisdiction of any recognized government or Foundation charter, Ordox does not seek mere containment. It does not fear the impossible — it seeks to **understand** it, **utilize** it, and, when circumstances demand, **destroy** it.
Ordox does not classify anomalies as permanent threats, but as potential revelations. While others preserve the status quo through isolation, we study the fabric of unreality — and weave it back into the world, on humanity’s terms.
----
**▌Origins**
> "There is no founding year. Only the moment we first listened."
> — [REDACTED], Cardinal-3
The true origin of **Ordox** is obscured by design, buried beneath layers of myth, missing documents, and redacted truths. Unofficial internal records attribute its formation to the early 20th century, in the wake of a cluster of trans-dimensional signal events collectively known as **The Echo Events** — transmissions that were never meant for human comprehension, yet received by human minds.
To the public, **Ordox does not exist**. No logos. No leaks. No survivors.
Internally, it operates as a stratified web of scientific, tactical, metaphysical, and ontological divisions — all unified under a singular guiding directive known as **The Aegis Protocol**.
This protocol dictates the operational core of Ordox through four uncompromising pillars:
- **Locate** the anomaly.
- **Secure** it from the world — and the world from it.
- **Use** what can be repurposed for human advancement.
- **Destroy** what cannot be controlled.
Where others choose paralysis, we choose action. Where others contain, we comprehend. Where others deny, we rewrite.

+ MISSION
> "To fear the unknown is human. To **use** the unknown is Ordox."
> — Internal Motto: Division of Applied Anomalies
[[/div]]
Ordox is not a passive warden of the anomalous. It is an active force — one that seeks to understand, deconstruct, and when necessary, **repurpose** the impossible.
Unlike containment-focused organizations, Ordox believes the anomalous can — and must — be **used** when the benefit to humanity outweighs the risk.
Ordox does not ask “How do we hide this?”
It asks:
* Can this anomaly **eradicate disease** on a global scale?
* Can this entity **prolong life** without dependency?
* Can this device, thoughtform, or occurrence **reshape our understanding of matter, mind, or mortality**?
This mindset, enshrined in the third pillar of the Aegis Protocol — **USE** — has enabled breakthroughs including:
* Experimental biotech systems years beyond current science
* Selective cognitive enhancement in embedded field agents
* Interdimensional data architectures immune to meme-infection
But even within Ordox, the cost of such advancements is never ignored. The boundary between evolution and extinction remains perilously thin — sometimes no more than a thought away.
Where the anomalous whispers, **Ordox listens**.
Where it wounds, **Ordox learns**.
Where it bleeds, **Ordox collects**.

> "We don't follow Ex Cause. We follow the voice behind the veil."
> — Fragmented internal doctrine, redacted from all non-Cardinal archives.
At the apex of the Ordox hierarchy stands a figure cloaked in mystery and permanence: **Ex Cause** — a masked entity of unknown origin, whose words are not his own. He is not worshipped. He is not obeyed. He is **heard**.
Ex Cause is understood not as a leader, but as a conduit — the sole vessel through which the will of an incomprehensible presence known only as **Source-0** is delivered. While **Ex Cause** speaks with human form and voice, those who have witnessed his transmission episodes describe a transformation: light bleaches his eyes, his voice deepens beyond natural acoustics, and his presence shifts into something **not of this world**.
The existence of **Source-0** remains one of Ordox’s most heavily classified enigmas. Access to its designation and records is restricted to **Cardinal-level personnel**. Within lower operational circles, its mention is prohibited. Even among the Kardinals, its reality is debated:
-Some insist **Source-0** is a fabrication, a psychological framework for control.
-Others believe it is **Ordox** itself, a sentient architecture guiding the organization through **Ex Cause**.
-A few whisper it is not an entity, but **a direction** — a destination.
No direct contact has ever been confirmed. No data logs survive intact. No recordings hold steady. But when **Ex Cause** speaks the words of **Source-0**, silence falls across the Foundation’s enemies… and even across its allies.
**Known Hierarchy:**
- **[[[scp-ordox-000 | Source-0]]]**— Entity of unknown nature. Possibly the anomaly itself.
- **Ex Cause** — Human intermediary; interpreter of **[[[scp-ordox-000 | Source-0]]]** ’s will.
- **The Cardinal-7** — High-clearance operatives.
- **Field Analysts** — Conduct studies, retrieval, and philosophical assessments.
- **Archivists** — Data curators and anomaly interpreters.

+ INTERACTIONS WITH EXTERNAL GROUPS
> **"We do not disrupt order. We disrupt assumptions."**
> — Cardinal-2
[[/div]]
Ordox maintains deliberate operational autonomy in all matters of anomaly acquisition, study, and application. While cooperation is considered where mutually beneficial, ideological and methodological differences often lead to conflict with other major anomalous agencies.
- **The SCP Foundation** has repeatedly classified **Ordox** as __non-compliant__ and __recklessly experimental__, particularly regarding our refusal to indefinitely contain or neutralize entities with viable scientific or humanitarian application.
- **The Global Occult Coalition (GOC)** designates **Ordox** as a systemic threat to the “balance of normalcy,” due to our resistance against total destruction of anomalies deemed “unsafe” without comprehensive analysis.
- Groups such as the **Serpent’s Hand** and **Chaos Insurgency** have, at varying times, initiated both opportunistic collaborations and aggressive incursions against **Ordox** outposts. These interactions are managed on a case-by-case basis with strategic oversight.
------
**ORDOX** doesn't regard **The SCP Foundation** as an enemy, but rather as a misguided sibling — bound by fear, restrained by its own dogma. Their philosophy of containment over comprehension is seen by **ORDOX** as inherently flawed and spiritually corrosive.
**Ex Cause** has been intercepted during no fewer than three Foundation-initiated raids. In each instance, no attempt at permanent containment proved successful. **ORDOX** considers these engagements non-hostile; evasion, not escalation, remains the standing protocol.
Rather than extract anomalies, **ORDOX** infiltration teams have been documented accessing Foundation blacksites to **implant encrypted philosophical constructs** — fragments of knowledge, meant to challenge, provoke, and one day illuminate.
> We don't steal what they fear.
> We leave behind what they are not yet ready to understand.
Still, **Ordox** endures — not bound by nation or creed, but anchored by insight.
A sigil in shadow. A design beyond design.
A force that does not fear the anomalous — it **uses** it.
