In the Sahara Desert, SCP Foundation agents encounter the Kingdom of Abaddon, a group with reality-bending powers. After suffering heavy casualties, the survivors report back, prompting the Foundation to classify Abaddon as a high-level threat. Research Team Omega-5, led by Dr. O51, is tasked with developing a long-range weapon using an anomaly known as Item001. Despite initial failures and ethical concerns over using children as test subjects, they achieve control over Item001's destructive powers. However, after an incident leading to the death of a high-ranking official, the weapon is contained, and the children are classified as a Thaumiel entity.
