The story takes place on November 26, 2014, at Biological Research Area 12, a large facility of the SCP Foundation that houses and experiments on live biological entities and hazardous tissue samples. A technical glitch causes a system failure and a large-scale containment breach, leading to the escape of several anomalous creatures, including the deadly SCP-143, SCP-153, SCP-811, and SCP-939.
The Foundation personnel are overwhelmed, and when they call for help, they are met with a surprise attack by a group of heavily armed troops who do not bear the insignia of the SCP Foundation or any known Mobile Task Force. The troops slaughter the Foundation personnel, and it is later revealed that they are members of the Chaos Insurgency, a mysterious and clandestine group that steals anomalies for their own purposes.
The story then delves into the history and motivations of the Chaos Insurgency, revealing that they were created by the SCP Foundation's O5 Council in 1924 as a black ops group to carry out their dirty work. However, the group eventually became rogue and defected in 1948, becoming a thorn in the side of the SCP Foundation.
The Chaos Insurgency is led by the Engineer, a mysterious figure who is controlled by an anomalous object known as the Engine. The group's goal is to use anomalies to gain power and control, and they believe that the SCP Foundation's obsession with order and secrecy is a disease that must be eradicated.
The story concludes with the SCP Foundation's Mobile Task Force tracking down the Chaos Insurgency and engaging in a fierce battle to recover the stolen SCP-939 creatures. Although the Foundation emerges victorious, the story raises questions about the true nature and goals of the Chaos Insurgency and the extent of their infiltration into the Foundation.
