US Marine reacts to SCP: Overlord 

"I'd be out like that's not my job" Welcome to SCP, this is literallly their job lol.

I love that this guy had no knowledge of SCPs or MTFs and was still able to say one of the most common lines repeated in the fandom -- "I wouldn't wanna be a Mole Rat." Yeah buddy. Me too. No one but Mole Rats want to be Mole Rats...

They're wearing masks because: "This movement was suspected of organizing chemical attacks all across New England in the early 2010s." Turns out the compound was short on anthrax and long on eldritch horrors, but the recon team didn't know that.

The reason they're so calm about everything, including people dying, is because they're SCP MTF units. They're pretty used to people dying regularly and fighting off anomalies there's literally no way to explain. Edit: WTF WHY DID THIS COMMENT BLOW UP

The reason why she said it so casually when they called in the death was because for the most part the mtfs (mobile task force) was because they die pretty regularly

Something I really liked about Overlord was that they didn’t use jump-scares, they just made you feel a sense of discomfort and uneasiness throughout the whole thing

8:02 during world war two, the polish resistance rallied behind the mantra "poland is not yet lost". the flag on his helmet shows he is a polish operator, and why he would have "not yet lost" on his rifle. pretty cool detail

"I wouldn't want to be a Mole Rat." Your instincts are good 🤣 Zeta-9 is almost a meme for dying horribly in the bulk of situations they get sent in to explore. They still manage to be pretty badass, especially in SCP-1730

For something to be so creepy that they shot in broad daylight is a massive achievement for the film makers.

fun fact they made this with $20kish and they filmed it in 5 days (iirc)

These guys are part of MTF(Mobile Task Force) Epsilon 6, also designated as "Village Idiots" Their mission is to contain and search out any anomalous activities in rural areas. So it makes sense to bring them on in such a situation. Backup is mostly provided by MTF Nu 7, also reffered to as "Hammer Down". This is a battalion-strength MTF that provides support in containing difficult anomalies, while also send in to really bad anomaly breaches in the SCP Foundation. Then we have Zeta 9, reffered to as "Mole Rats". They are tasked with containing underground anomalies, as well as dimensionel ones. This MTF has the highest mortality rates in all of the MTFs. Then we have Lambda 5, also known as "White Rabbits" They are send in against reality benders. Nu 13 are called "Ghostbusters" and handle all supernaturel anomalies. And last but not least Beta 7, also known as "Maz Hatters". They are tasked with containing infectious and pandemic anomalies, such as SCP 008, the "Zombie Virus".

Quick heads up about why they don't shoot the "demons". The goal of the SCP foundation is to Secure Contain Protect, so they can study these creatures. If you kill them, not studies, means this OP was useless for them.

I love how earlier Besson said “try 1234” on the passcode, and they didn’t try it. Later he uses “1234” and it works. I wouldn’t doubt a thing he says afterwards. lol

Welcome to the SCP rabbit hole. - DR [REDACTED]

6:06 I love this attention to detail, mtf - "the molerats" specializes in anomalous or unpredictable terrain and they are exactly who the foundation would send to explore a steamy hole of unknown depth

It's great to see the military pov on these kind of media, specially veterans like you, because mostly what is considered a little "unnecessary" or "wrong" actually makes sense within the universe of the content. For example, the lots of sneaking is because they deal with anomalous entities, objects, locations and events in a daily basis. It doesn't matter how detailed the briefing and reports are, you don't mess nor underestimate the anomalies. The amount of resources available for a seemly small raid is justifiable because you never know when a crack on reality, a portal or a monster might appear. It's real world mocked up by a hundred.

All MTF (Mobile Task Force Units) featured in SCP: Overlord: Epsilon-6 (“Village Idiots”) : Specializes in the investigation, containment, and subsequent cleanup of anomalies in rural and suburban environments. Nu-7 (“Hammer Down”) : Armed Mobile Task Force Nu-7 is a battalion-strength force consisting of three company-sized elements of special operations infantry forces, a light armored vehicle company, tank platoon, helicopter squadron, chemical-biological-radiological-nuclear (CBRN) platoon, combat engineer platoon, nuclear weapon specialist (NWS) squad, plus additional combat specialist and support personnel. AMTF Nu-7 is based primarily out of Armed Bio-Containment Area-14 and is tasked with responding to incidents involving loss of communication with major Foundation facilities under circumstances wherein a site-wide breach, enemy compromise, or other similarly catastrophic event is suspected. Zeta-9 (“Mole Rats”) : Mobile Task Force Zeta-9 specializes in the investigation, exploration, and containment of underground or enclosed areas exhibiting anomalous phenomena, particularly those with inconsistent topography or unstable spacetime. Mu-13 (“Ghostbusters”) : Mobile Task Force Mu-13 specializes in the tracking, analysis, and containment of incorporeal or intangible manifestations and entities, particularly those believed to be sentient, sapient, or otherwise intelligent and adaptive. Beta-7 (“Maz Hatters”) : Mobile Task Force Beta-7 specializes in the acquisition and containment of anomalies exhibiting extreme biological, chemical, or radiological hazards as well as the rapid containment and cleanup of areas affected by such anomalies. This includes the planning and deployment of contingencies for wide-area or pandemic spread of anomalous disease agents or other contagious phenomena. Lambda-5 (“White Rabbits”) : Mobile Task Force Lambda-5 specializes in traversing unstable, surreal, and controlled reality, and containing potentially dangerous persons and artifacts capable of manipulating space and time. Gamma-5 (“Red Herrings”) : Mobile Task Force Gamma-5 specializes in preventing the dissemination of knowledge of anomalous events or phenomena in cases where initial suppression efforts have proven ineffective or insufficient, or in cases where such knowledge has already reached critical levels of public exposure. This includes the research and deployment of experimental amnestics as well as memory fabrication procedures. Source: www.scpwiki.com/task-forces

It’s an scp containment task force it can be made up of people all over the world made for the containment of anomalies the terms of the names you heard in the video were other task forces such as the mole rats and others

I love the SCP lore. For example if they came across a rock on that stream. To you it's just a simple rock. But in the SCP universe that rock could be 'The Never Ending Screaming Rock' if where if you touch it the rock begins to scream so loud it you melt your brain or something like that.

So a few context questions to answer: The exact nature of the group is that they are a Mobile Task Force for the SCP Foundation. Not any military and are completely fictional. Basically imagine Rainbow Six but entirely designed to fight, capture, and quarantine paranormal and extradimensional anomalies or entities. They don't have air backup because the air surrounding the compound is potentially dangerous. The floating humanoids remember. Until they know know its safe they aren't gonna send any helicopters. Also the reason they were in the compound so long is because they don't just clear the place out but basically are detectives who gotta turn the whole place upside down looking for anything noteworthy hence why they went through the laptop randomly.

To be clear: Stuff getting weird is normal to these guys. They're a Mobile Task Force from a foundation (SCP) based on Securing, Containing, and/or Protecting anomalous entities, that's not affiliated with any governments, soooo..... Basically? This is their job. This is what their made for, and used to. They can't exactly leave just like that.

I appreciate how your reaction praised what the video did right in terms of tactics while still not being too hard on the mistakes since it’s a film meant for entertainment. Lots of other reactors like to nitpick just to show how operator they are.

This was really cool to see, a Marine reacting to SCP and hearing his reactions to all the weird stuff that goes on in a normal day in SCP.

These guys are essentially the Ghostbusters for the exorcist, but they carry ARs instead of proton packs, there's a whole lot more of them, and they have the highest mortality rate of any operations unit in history. You made a joke about slenderman, but these are the guys you would actually send after slenderman, that kind of thing is what they do. They have each different kinds of units with slightly different experience and specialities that best suit them towards certain situations, but they are all pretty much the same in regards to their actual ocupation and how they go about doing it. TL;DR its Delta Force VS Demons. These guys encountering weird shit or a high number of KIAs during any given operation is not at all out of the ordinary. In that universe, I'd be glad someone has that job, but I'd definitely be glad that person is not me.

In the intro they were talking about the cult being related to chemical weapon terror attacks, that's why they're going in with masks, along with keeping their identities as secret as possible.

"that night vision looks dope tho" knowing the fundation, i doubt its only night vision

You have to remember their constant state of awareness and being prepared to fire is just due to the fact they're dealing with SCPs. Supernatural anomalies that could be anywhere and do anything at unknown reaches from their main AO

The reason their weapons are raised so frequently because, well within any SCP environment, you could encounter any form of threat whether it's human or an entity, so you've always got to be alert and ready for the worst case scenario.

Mole rats: When their is a hole, portal or anything that needs someone to poke their head into they are called in to investigate it and not surprisingly they have the most M.I.A (missing in action) out of any other taskforce

The creator actually responded to another reaction video done by a soldier who commented on the tactics. He said some of the "tactical fails" (my words) were a result of a script change or not being able to move film equipment around. Hence, cut corners because filmmaking

i wonder how many people notice that the hole is where the tentacles came out from, and the fact that they are so close to it just sends shiver down my spine during the reveal.

"They're like some sort of Task Force." Well, they are called the Mobile Task Force.

I love how everyone reacts the same. "why wouldn't they gtfo after seeing the demon-ish creature?" etc. Epsilon-6 are a group of mercenaries that trained to work in an rural and suburban areas and investigate any paranormal shit including ghosts, demons or hellish creatures. But in general it is a recon taskforce that goes in first to investigate SCP.

A fun fact: The guy with the rifle "Not yet Lost" has the Polish flag on his helmet. I think "Not yet Lost" on the rifle is the reference to the English name of the Polish anthem "Poland is not yet lost". Just my take on it.

I imagine some of the differences in how these teams operate compared to conventional military has to do with the fact that this is The SCP Foundation. They’re dealing with demons, aliens, and anomalies. Probably explains the more casual conversation between the soldiers. Once you’ve come face to face with cosmic horrors I imagine you’re a little more aloof about life lol. That and this had a smaller budget and it’s entertainment.

The best part of this is watching the way a trained Marine, responds to SCP zaniness. These guys see crazy monsters and unexplainable shit on the daily.

at 3:47, "amnestic treatment" means they were given drugs that would give you amnesia. in the SCP lor and writings its used as a plot device. some people don't like it because it encourages bad writing. anyway its like the blue flashy thing in the men in black series. commonly used on the public. as for the overwhelming power in using artillery and air units primary objectives as follows. secure: secure the location and stop, mitigate, and/or neutralize any anomalous threats. contain: contain any anomalous entities or artifacts protect: protect both the public and the anomaly from coming in contact with the general public and, stop others from obtaining, interacting, or knowing about the anomaly. (outside the scp foundation(mostly)) i hope this helped. there is always more to add tho but i boiled it down.

SCP is basically a foundation of soldiers, scientists, doctors, and test subjects who work with anomalies, such as a flying humans or zombies or unknown viruses and even god like entities. They work to contain these things and protect the world

I specifically want to mention the reason they are so incredibly calm in their speech is because they're part of the SCP Foundation, Specifically Mobile Task Forces. These operatives are trained and conditioned to deal with very specific threats and anomalies, Which is also why there are several Task Force names.

8:23 inside of the SCP universe theres special forces called Mobile Task Forces, each one specialized in something else sent out to either contain, re-contain, neutralize, or investigate something that the public cant know about. Anomalous mostly. They work for the SCP Foundation. Heres each Task Force mentioned in this video: Lambda-5 Codename: White Rabbits Gamma-5 Codename: Red Herrings Epsilon-6 Codename: Village Idiots Nu-7 Codename: Hammer Down Zeta-9 Codename: Mole Rats Mu-13 Codename: Ghostbusters Beta-7 Codename: Maz Hatters

I think that "know your Ally: Britain" by US National Archives would be a really good reaction for your channel

If you're wondering why they tried to gas the anomaly instead of shooting, it's because they wanted to contain and study it. Or at least contain it for the organization to study.

It was great seeing your react/commentary (especially from a situational pov). I just discovered SCP and am looking forward to getting in deeper. Thank you for your service!!!

The reason that they hold out their weapons is because all combat personnel are supposed to be cautious when they're in a containment mission, they've seen what other anomalies are able to do so they have to be ready for anything that comes their way, the reason for this is because they CANNOT let ANY anomaly escape, one of these anomalies(SCP 173), after breaching containment was able to kill 500,000 Civilians across North America in 48 hours AND was able to destroy 4 Foundation Facilities.

The task force names all have code names related to their specialization like Nu-7 is 'Hammer Down'. They are used when the big shit happens and are battalion sized group. The 'Mole Rats' are Zeta-9 and specialize in indoors/underground areas with unkown, changing/anomalous topography. There's a bunch of different MTFs, each with a cool name and even a video on all the more notable ones, explaining their specialities made by the guy who played Lambda-1 in this video.

8:00 He is supposed to be Polish and "not yet lost" is a pretty important quote to the Poles. Their commander in chief said it while trying to organize a defense of Poland in WWII.

I usually ignore reaction videos but since I’ve never been in the military yours was a bit helpful in knowing what is going on.

If you watch the making offs, you will actually learn that they had a military instructor on the set to assure fire arms safety guidelines and make the shots more realistic

In the scp universe seeing something floating is probably the least terrifying or confusing thing you'll see

CBRN guy here - Masks they use are standard to the U.S. military, M51s meant for vehicle crewman as opposed to the standard M50 with twin M61 canisters. These guys mount a single M61 canister and a single hose (usually meant to attach to a vehicle's filtration system) leading to a PAPR in their packs. And yes, Sceptre 2 is rocking a shaded outer eyelense as opposed to everybody else.

I enjoy watching someone unaware of the SCP react to this, great video

I really enjoy watching your videos I've seen this video by itself but your commentary makes it a lot different, thanks for all you do.

“ this is getting weird “ welcome to the SCP. Oh, and they’re airsofters.

I love how virtually every time you go "Ah, see I would've done THIS instead" they do THIS immediately after. Shows how much thought went into the project. I really like this reaction vid, I love that you give the guys some leeway for smaller faults rather than ragging on them like other "experts react" videos.

Great reaction dude! I really love the concept of this, a shadowy organisation using spec ops teams to investigate, contain and if nessecary (or possible) take out monsters that defy reality (and more bizzare things like sentient ideas)

Already 3 mins in and I love your reactions, very respectful and in grossed in what is going on.

NGO normally stands for Non Government Organisation, so that might be the case here.

“Idk how id feel about passing something like that” This is a normal Tuesday for these guys mate.

Bro that animation is so crazy. I cant believe they animated some of that. The ending was the biggest reveal. Hope theres gonna be a part 2

i really like your reaction. I like that you value the cinematic masterpice and tell some tactical thinks that would be different in the real world and dont rage about that they dont do it one to one like reals special forces. Thanks

You’d actually be surprised it was a pretty low budget film

I love how often you're asking questions as to why any of this is happening. That's the magic of what makes this short film so creepy. The only thing more terrifying than the horrors you see before you are the horrors you DON'T see. "Stephen King once wrote that “Nightmares exist outside of logic, and there's little fun to be had in explanations; they're antithetical to the poetry of fear.” In a horror story, the victim keeps asking "Why?" But there can be no explanation, and there shouldn't be one." What is remembered when you finish a horror movie or a scary book is that unanswered mystery of "Why?" The only thing more horrific than what is explained to you is what is left to doubt. Human imagination is the key factor in deciding just how horrific something is, that is the difference between horror and terror. Horror is that jumpscare in that movie you watched, or that video game you played. Five Nights at Freddy's is a good sign of Horror in a video game for example. There is a clear threat; the animatronics. And when they get you, you know its going to jumpscare you. And eventually, the horror loses its effectiveness because you know that if you lose you're just going to get jumpscared. Nothing is left up to the imagination anymore. The unknown factor is lost the longer you play something with a horror based loop. A game I like to chalk up to Terror, is Subnautica. I am Thalassaphobic (A person with an uncontrollable fear of deep, large bodies of water; the ocean). So that game is perfect for this. How fear works in Subnautica compared to the Horror of FNAF, is that it doesn't need cheap jumpscares to make you leap out of your skin. Subnautica is NOT at all built to be a horror game, but in some twisted way, it turned out like that regardless. The horror, of Subnautica, stems from this Terror. Terror, is fear that creates tension or apprehension in a person based on the stimuli surrounding them. It is the fear generated from your own imagination. Asking "what if" all the time. What if: something grabs my leg? What if: the burglar finds me? What if: the plane crashes? These things might not even happen, but its the IDEA of it actually happening that raises a persons tension, and instills a fear through that apprehension and stress. In subnautica there are these large, predatory fish known as Leviathans in the open ocean of Subnautica. The first time you meet one you're going to experience that instant horror as it chases you down. Now, lets say you find yourself back at a trench you'd explored before. Its deep, dark, and you never actually reached the bottom before. But lets say you got to 298 meters down before you had to resurface. It was no biggy... nothing happened that first time. But now... suddenly your mind snaps back to that Leviathan experience. Its roar getting closer behind you as it chased you down. Now you look into this trench. And you ask... "What if there is a Leviathan down inside there?" Now you're apprehensive to go down, your stress level is higher than it was before. Because now your imagination is rampantly searching for ANY signs of trouble. Constantly seeing images of that Leviathans face coming at you from the dark depths of the ocean waters just ahead of you... but is it actually there? Oh! No you're just seeing things... until you're not! XD NOW THAT IS FEAR.

Ok but I feel like this man has no idea what the scp foundation is and it adds so much and I love it 😭😭

Great video always cool to see someone who served perspective on these

If it hasn't been stated in the comments, SCP means Secure, Contain, Protect. It's part of a massive community created lore where an organization called the SCP Foundation, a secret entity goes around to capturing and storing all the weird shit in the world from Ghosts, demons, cursed objects, or weird unknown sci fi stuff. If they cannot capture said object because it's too dangerous or too large, so they secure the entire area. Terms like MTF means Mobile Task Force which is comprised of ex military guys from all over the world. They are usually sent as heavy hitters. Another term is Amnestics, meaning they wipe your memories like the MIB.

"Stuff got weird" is basically the MO of these guys. SCP is a lot more than just these films and definitely worth looking into.

Good assessment and advice.

Good reaction. Very informative. Gotta remember that ROE would be quite different considering they likely know they’re not just dealing with a mundane human threat.

The soldiers are part of the SCP foundation, they're a recon team. The SCP foundation is an international organization, hence the different accents and black kit. They're not traditional military.

should have watched SCP Dollhouse first. i love these films and Hollywood would never get these right

I think the SCP that made those big holes is SCP: 106 when he kills you, he doesn't necessarily kill you he puts you in this slimy gross decayed place there's only one exit and there's about seven halls you go in one you might be lucky to find the exit, but most don't escape but you do get damaged every 3 seconds because of the germs, lack of Oxygen, and all the disease's, most people die if there were 10 people in there only two or three or even one, and leaves behind an infinite or a hole so deep you can't hear or see the bottom.

one of my favorite scp pieces ever made 10/10

Ok so for background to anyone who’s interested: the whole idea with this is that the scp foundation (secure contain protect) does what the name implies with anomalous objects, locations, and other nouns. In its original form the scp foundation is a horror website where users write and submit descriptions of anomalous objects, as well as how they secure them, for review by other users, I believe the number of scps now stands upwards of 5000 unique entries. The operator’s depicted in this short film are mtf (mobile task force), their job is to enter places where anomalous things have occurred, and clear immediate threats to allow more specialized containment teams to enter and contain the anomalous materials So yes it’s literally their job to deal with situations like this

Wow, this is a pleasant surprise, but I'm glad you've found this. Merry Christmas CAC and viewers

Thank you for your service

It's been like 4 freaking years and this video is still amazing. Creepy, random things is the kinda whole thing that SCP MTF units deal with. Also, hearing a bunch of different accents isn't odd because in universe they pull the best soldiers from around the world to become a part of a Mobile Task Force unit. One of the most often used in media seems to be MTF Epsilon-11 Nine Tailed Fox

26:06 An invisible cultist anomaly? Killed by gunfire? That doesn't happen everyday.

I suggest to watch the lore for SCP, and I think OriginalHuman had been watching SCP stuff earlier this month. You should watch Evan Royalty's other SCP film too.

Big ups for the portal tattoos, looks sick af

Enjoyed this. Quite like the SCP universe. Great getting a pov from a professional too. Cheers bud.

Who wants to join the scp "they said it well be fun"

They’re “at the ready”, and moving as they do, due to the fact that the SCP Foundation deals with “anything happening at literally any time”. Read some of the Wiki. All the gear is the actors gear. Airsoft guns and stuff. Almost all the main guys in the squad are scp RU-vidrs in some way

and through the whole thing he just smiles

The reason they didn’t use thermals is because ISR didn’t see anything so thermals would be useless, the camera is part of the anomaly, the SCP foundation is in the business of anomalies

What i like about the whole SCP thing is that it has specific enough framework that it's somewhat consistent, but still vague enough that it's easy enough to write your own fiction for that setting. AND it makes the willing suspense of disbelief easier too. For example various SCP 'operators' or whatever someone would like to call them, basically functions like a mix of PMCs, paranormal investigators, recognizance and to a certain degree scientists all rolled into one because 99% of the time they have no clue what kind of supernatural/alien shenanigans they might run into. Which in turn makes the SCP setting pretty diverse and interesting.

"right here is where we would RTB" MTF: we dont do that here

I know this was like, two years ago but still fun, looked at some of the comments and didn't see anybody mention anything about the camera, so here's my take on it: The camera is an anomalous entity that allows 3rd dimensional beings to perceive beings in a higher dimension as 3rd dimensional, and that the unperceivable bogeys that are in the building were members of the cult forcefully ascended to a higher dimension, causing them to lose their sanity due to being unable to perceive the higher dimension, which corresponds to the video playback in the basement with how they screamed as they transcended, going mad. The camera being able to allow 3rd dimensional beings to view higher dimensional beings as 3rd dimensional would explain why only it and not their NODs can view the beings.

You should check out a series called generation kill. It's takes place during the invasion of Iraq I think and is basically "The office" tv show mixed with marines.

Fun watching several different military persons reacting to this, some are super analytic and critical about everything while others just reacts to the story of the movie.

My first thought after seeing the invisible anomalies with the camera was that they better send in Mu 13 (“Ghostbusters”) to try to contain since that seems right up their alley and then when I got to the end of the film was that they may need to send other MTFs that specialize in dealing with things like that

I always thought, and still go with my own answer- The MTF units are so calm bc, they are picked specifically, and trained specifically to not be afraid of death, pain, or the things they may experience on any mission assigned to.

Soldier in short: "first well attempt a *less lethal option* if they don't respond to that, smoke'm." Exactly 75 seconds later... American soldier reacting: *"bR0 sHo0t 1T what you MeAN?"*

*Sees multiple people floating above the building "Alright this is where we rtb. Time to head out" lmao

I seen the train to busan and part 2 . I was severely hungover watching it . They make the best zombie movies in Korea on Netflix and some freaky ass horror movies in Korea. This SCP shows are pretty cool

SCP is the best community creation ever. Also the best rabbit hole I have ever gone down to

13:09 I've seen a lot of military reactors nitpick this part cause he was in the doorway for way too long. I'm pretty sure that part was in slow-mo and cut back to normal speed the second the flashbang went off.

You should watch a video explaining the SCP universe and organisation it’s very interesting

I subscribed cuz u seem like a cool guy,keep up the good work

Just FYI, the group Miew 13 is a very elite task force in the SCP Canon. As for the camera, it is probably anomalous in nature and is able to detect extraphysical objects.

Did you know that this video was made in 5 days? For the great quality, it is very impressive! Also, SCP foundation searches for anomalies and contains them. This team has the goal to look through the area for these anomalies.
