Which organization do you consider the “most good” or to have the best mission in the SCP universe?

​

Between the SCP Foundation, the GOC (Global Occult Coalition), and the Chaos Insurgency, which organization do you consider to be the most morally justifiable?

I know that calling any of these groups simply “good” or “evil” is a pretty big oversimplification, considering how different their ideologies, goals, and methods can be. Still, if you had to choose the organization whose overall mission you find the most reasonable or morally defensible, which one would you pick?

The SCP Foundation, for example, primarily focuses on containing and studying anomalous entities and phenomena in order to protect humanity. On the surface, this might make it seem like the most responsible organization. However, the Foundation is also known for using extremely questionable methods: complete secrecy, human experimentation, D-Class personnel, forced containment of sentient anomalies, and making decisions that can have enormous consequences without any accountability to the general population.

The GOC, on the other hand, takes a much more direct approach. It generally views many anomalous phenomena as potential threats that should be neutralized or destroyed rather than contained. In some ways, this could be seen as a more morally consistent approach than the Foundation's, especially when dealing with genuinely dangerous anomalies. At the same time, the GOC can also make drastic decisions and destroy anomalous entities that might not necessarily be hostile or dangerous.

Then there's the Chaos Insurgency, which is usually portrayed as much more antagonistic than the other two. However, I'm curious about how people interpret them beyond simply labeling them as “evil.” Depending on the canon or interpretation, their motivations can be considerably more complicated than just wanting to cause chaos or harm.

So, if you had to judge these organizations based only on their ideology, goals, and what they ultimately want for humanity, which one would you consider the “best”?

Would you rather live in a world protected by the Foundation, the GOC, or the Chaos Insurgency?

Are the playable LCZ/HCZ/EZ areas the entire zones, or only a part of them?

​

I’ve been wondering about something regarding the layout of Site-02 in SCP: Secret Laboratory.

As far as I know, Northwood hasn’t officially confirmed whether the areas we can actually explore in-game represent the entirety of the LCZ, HCZ and EZ, or only a portion of those zones.

For example, when we play through the LCZ, are we supposed to understand that the area we can physically walk through is the entire Light Containment Zone, or is it more likely that the actual LCZ is much larger, with additional rooms, corridors, laboratories, offices, storage areas, etc. that simply aren’t represented in the playable map?

The same question would apply to the HCZ and EZ.

The fact that Site-02 is described as having multiple subsections makes me wonder if the playable map is essentially just one accessible section of a much larger facility, rather than a complete floor plan.

I’m not claiming this is canon — I know there doesn’t seem to be an official Northwood statement confirming either interpretation. I’m just curious whether there’s any developer comment, wiki information, or other lore material that clarifies this.
