   Summary

   Doctor Ryland Grace has been working for the SCP Foundation for as long as he can remember. His controversial views in academia led him to being put on their radar, and he quickly became one of the many researchers forced to do menial work for The Foundation.

   Simon is haunted by the sins of his past and it leads him to signing up for a program. Somehow, watching everyone around him die after every trial is worse than what he had before.

   When an anomaly of global proportions is discovered, Grace is tasked with researching its properties and extracting its data. This causes him to cross paths with Simon when he’s selected to be on Grace’s project.
