>>149120983Might be a bit of a cop out, but I think I would tie with an underutilized (to my mind) aspect of SCP: everything is need to know. Taken to an extreme level, this would make it so virtually no one really knows what level of capability the Foundation is capable of. I think an SCP show would work well with a lower-level researcher at like level 2 clearance (mabye with vignettes for a level 3 character to show that they only know so much too). A big part of a show like this would be dealing with the mystery around the Foundation as much as the mystery around the SCPs. Like Thaumiel shit would be a big reveal.
Also like to imagine that the Foundation amnesticizes personnel quite often. That kind of thing would work well for a show. Can help keep the Foundation in a morally-grey area, like a reveal that they amnesticized researchers when they had to do more unethical shit or something.
So to answer the question, I would have it kept rather vague. Maybe have the odd scranton thing in some cases of more powerful entities, references to potential use of SCPs, allusions to a extradimensional base (very hushhush), sinister undertones to certain encounters like maybe a low level researcher gets some X-files-esque request to stop looking so deep from some mystery foundation personnel, that kind of thing.
At the same time, would be a cool idea to have a higher level character break down and let on that things are somewhat bleak or dire higher up (think that south park episode where they joke about how the government is spreading 9/11 inside job details to make the US government seem all powerful when it's not the case). I find that kind of dichotomy interesting.
Also, like that other anon mentioned, keeping them restrained on the global level makes sense given the existence of UN-partnered GOC and UIU (kinda confused on their continued existence desu, givent the US is depicted as being completely associated with the Foundation, they have good stories though)
