Initial capital and contingency (including possible long-term destruction) dominate one-time costs (~$33.7M); annual recurring costs driven by witness management, specialized MTF operations, and ongoing R&D/monitoring (~$8.39M/yr).
🏗️ One-Time Capital Costs Total: $33.7M
Long Term Strategic Options $25.0M
[#24] Budgetary allowance for one-time invocation of large-scale mitigation (relocation, urban demolition, mass evacuations, or permanent destruction campaigns).
Initial Research And Lab Setup $4.5M
[#13, #17] Construction/upfit of BSL-3/4 containment capability and initial R&D startup funding/equipment for pocket-dimension access research.
Contingency Reserve $2.0M
[#18] Liquid contingency / emergency response fund reserved for rapid, unexpected expenditures.
Equipment $1.3M
[#6, #7, #8, #9, #14, #20] One-time purchase of rapid-reaction transport (armored vehicles/helicopter purchase option), sensor nodes deployment, drone fleet purchase, secure communications hardware, initial PPE/decon setup, and digital forensics/evidence kits.
Facilities $660K
[#1, #3] Secure site acquisition and structural retrofit (site purchase/clandestine compensation and reinforced containment, airlocks, blast mitigation) plus one-time perimeter hardening (fencing, barriers, signage).
Mitigation Tools $150K
[#15] Explosives handling infrastructure, certified blasting crews, secure explosive storage, high-power saws and specialty blades, and initial training/certification.
Morgue Cold Storage $90K
[#16] Refrigerated trailers / cold rooms and initial evidence-storage chain-of-custody equipment.
🔄 Annual Recurring Costs Total: $8.4M/yr
Witness Management $2.5M/yr
[#10] Recurring costs for witness handling per confirmed tlacua event—relocation, housing, psychological care, payments/inducements, legal fees and rapid-response suppression teams. (Budget sized to cover multiple events per year.)
Staff Wages $1.9M/yr
[#4, #5] Perimeter security force salaries (local hires, supervisors, vehicles/equipment) and MTF-Nu-5 specialized operational staffing, rotation, hazard pay, training and equipment amortization.
Research And Monitoring $1.6M/yr
[#7, #13, #17, #19] Ongoing sensor network monitoring (satellite tasking, comms), contracted BSL facility access (if not built), continued R&D into pocket-dimension access and suppression, and recurring costs of running Protocol TLAHUEMMANALONI (every-15-day protocol operations, consumables, ordnance, and post-operation analysis).
Cover Story And Legal $900K/yr
[#9, #11, #23] Ongoing secure communications monitoring/takedowns, PR firms and municipal liaison payments, forged/managed inspection reports, and legal defense/settlement budget.
Contingency Replenishment $500K/yr
[#18] Annual replenishment target for the contingency reserve to maintain readiness after any drawdowns.
Logistics And Transport $400K/yr
[#6, #8] Lease/on-call costs for rapid-reaction transport (vehicle leases and helicopter contracts) and drone/aerial ISR operations & maintenance.
Supplies And Consumables $205K/yr
[#14, #25, #15] PPE consumables, decontamination supplies, hazardous-waste processing contracts, fuel/batteries/replacement tools and mitigation consumables (blasting/replace parts).
Community Mitigation $100K/yr
[#21] Local community appeasement payments, small infrastructure projects, and other local mitigation to reduce curiosity and leaks.
Facilities Maintenance $88K/yr
[#2, #3, #16] Continuous on-site utilities (power/HVAC/lighting/communications), routine building upkeep, perimeter repairs, and morgue/cold-storage maintenance and power.
Forensics And Mortuary $80K/yr
[#12] Forensic pathology, DNA testing, temporary morgue services, and disposition (cremation/clandestine disposal) depending on throughput.
Digital Forensics $60K/yr
[#20] Staffing and operational deployment costs for digital evidence seizure, Faraday bags, portable forensic stations, secure wiping and takedown operations.
International Coordination $60K/yr
[#22] Budget for repatriation of remains, consular/diplomatic cover, and multi-jurisdictional coordination per cross-border incidents.
Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $8.4M/yr
75.0% probability / year
Normal operating year with routine tlacua events managed within the regular response and cover-up budget.
routine tlacua events regular protocol execution no major breaches or exposures
🚨 Minor Incident $9.1M/yr
15.0% probability / year +$750K vs baseline
Isolated, high-visibility tlacua event requiring elevated witness management, extra legal and PR actions, and targeted emergency response.
single high-profile public tlacua viral video requiring extensive takedown and witness relocation
🚨 Major Breach $14.4M/yr
7.0% probability / year +$6.0M vs baseline
Containment failure or partial breach causing casualties, site damage, extended forensic operations, and significant legal exposure.
partial loss of access to SCP-7279-Ome multiple assimilations or site personnel casualties
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $38.4M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$30.0M vs baseline
Full-scale failure requiring invocation of long-term strategic options (mass evacuation, demolition, relocation, or multi-month military-style operation).
uncontrolled, sustained tlacua cascade public exposure requiring evacuation/demolition
🚨 Research Breakthrough Requiring Scale Up $13.4M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Discovery or decision to aggressively pursue containment/suppression by large-scale R&D and capital expansion.
research breakthrough or decision to mass-scale experiments approved multi-year suppression program
👥 Personnel 33 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 21 [#4] Perimeter guards (18 guards across three 8-hour shifts plus 3 supervisors), local hires and associated equipment.
MTF-Nu-5 Operators 12 [#5] Specialized tactical team members (8–16 operators assumed; 12 used for budgeting) for Protocol TLAHUEMMANALONI and tlacua response.
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges enabling a medium-confidence estimate; however, anomalous behavior, event frequency uncertainty, and large optional one-time strategic costs introduce significant variance.
