Chapter 4 - Chapter 4— Caution of a Future Queen

[Alexandra]:Let's not get overconfident.Yes, we're overpowered—for this era.But the SCPs? Some of them are eldritch horrors that don't care about strength or intelligence.And Marvel… Marvel has Thanos, Infinity Stones, Dormammu, the Celestials, and a cosmic horror list long enough to make me physically ill.

I paused, letting that sink in. Even with my boosted brain, the threat list scrolling through my head was terrifying.

[Alexandra]:We have no idea which Marvel continuity we're in.Could be MCU. Could be comics. Could be the X-Men timeline. Could be a mash-up from that God's imagination.All we know right now is that we're in ancient history.

So before we start bragging about how strong we are, let's focus on the only thing that matters:

Founding the SCP Foundation. Secretly. Efficiently. And early.

[Julius]:Agreed. The moment SCPs appear, we need infrastructure.Containment chambers, secure bases, transportation networks, trained personnel…

[Cleopatra]:And medical facilities—when SCPs start showing up, people will get hurt. A lot.

[Darius]:Let's not forget espionage. We need intelligence in every empire, every kingdom. No surprises.

[Alexandra]:Exactly.So… let's brainstorm. Who has ideas on how to actually begin the Foundation in 330 BC?

There was a moment of stillness in the chat, like everyone was taking the question seriously.

Julius was the first to answer.

[Julius]:We leverage our positions.You're Alexander—conquering the known world is already in your timeline.Cleopatra and I control massive ancient powers.Darius has Persia.Jonah will handle infrastructure and early supernatural research.

If we form a secret alliance and unify our empires over time, we can slowly build a hidden organization within them.

I nodded thoughtfully.

[Alexandra]:A multinational shadow organization hidden within our empires…That's how SHIELD started, in a way. Good idea.

Cleopatra chimed in next.

[Cleopatra]:We should start with the basics:A hidden headquarters.A secure location no one can stumble into.Maybe we each build a "branch" in our territory and connect them with coded couriers.

We can't use modern communication tech yet, so we use espionage channels and codes.

[Alexandra]:Agreed. Local bases first. Global base later.

Darius weighed in.

[Darius]:Security must be absolute.Ancient people are curious.If they stumble upon our facilities, we risk rumors spreading.We need layers—cover stories, false identities, fake cults or secret societies acting as shields.

I grinned.

[Alexandra]:Creating ancient world "front organizations"… That's a brilliant idea.

Jonah's message appeared next.

[Jonah]:I can start designing primitive-but-effective containment units using your Flash Forge.Metal, stone, specialized locks…We can make early SCP chambers centuries ahead of their time.Even if SCPs aren't here yet, we should prepare for the worst.

[Alexandra]:That's perfect.And once SCPs appear, we upgrade quickly.

And finally, I summarized everything:

[Alexandra]:Here's our initial strategic roadmap:

Step 1 — Each of us builds a hidden safehouse or underground chamber in our territory.It will act as our first SCP Branch.

Step 2 — We connect these bases using spies, coded messages, and a unified secret alliance.

Step 3 — We begin recruiting loyal soldiers, healers, engineers, and researchers.Start with a few. Expand later.

Step 4 — We slowly merge our empires under one shadow command structure.Not publicly—secretly.

Step 5 — When the system detects the Foundation is "formed," SCPs will start appearing.So we must have infrastructure ready.

[Alexandra]:Remember—We're strong for ancient history.But against true SCP monsters?Against Marvel cosmic beings?We're still larvae.

The others went quiet… sober… focused.

Good. They finally realized we weren't playing a power fantasy—we were preparing for a multiversal apocalypse.

I raised my hand, feeling the strange energy of Flash Forge buzz at my fingertips.

[Alexandra]:Alright.Let's get to work.Each of you—start building your base.In one week, we meet again.And the true SCP Foundation will begin.
