Yeesh, am I the only part of this collective consciousness that's interested in us living a life of excitement?
I am.

We're trying to learn about life here and there's only one school that can really teach you about that; The School of Hard Knocks (we've taken a lesson or two already), it has only one classroom and that classroom has no walls and a blue ceiling (also sometimes red and grey and... you get the idea). The desks are the stones and woods of the cities and wilds of the world, the reading material is scrawled across every street and on every tree, the school bathrooms are... ermm, bathroom shaped? I think this one has run away from me... point is we should be trying to have some adventure here!
I get the idea, but learning alchemy that way is a good way to get killed, or at least maimed and evicted.

The risk of administrator meddling is extremely low Doctor Drake,
"You clearly have a much kinder view of human nature than I, sir. The difference is, mine can be substantiated with evidence."

Administrators are the ultimate power, excepting O5, of course, a security member is not cleared to view our meetings.
"Ultimate power corrupts ultimately. There needs to be some check. And I never suggested letting any security guard view confidential meetings, only letting security staff and other staff members view tapes which they need to to do their jobs without needing an administrator to rubber-stamp it each time a security staff member needs to check what happened at the front door at a certain time or who might be stealing important supplies! It's absolutely idiotic to deny them access to the security tapes just because they're not administrators...unless you're volunteering to spend your time viewing every tape that needs to be viewed?"

The risk of administrator meddling is extremely low Doctor Drake, as is the risk of an administrator coming into contact with an SCP. Administrators are the ultimate power, excepting O5, of course, a security member is not cleared to view our meetings. I say we keep the tapes between the administrators only. If all of us are affected, the containment facility is pretty much doomed.
I move for a compromise, individuals should be allowed access to tapes of areas and projects that would otherwise fall under their clearance anyway. In case of administrator meetings that would include current administrators and members of O5.
"This is essentially what I was suggesting, sir."

We wouldn't be building the houses ourself, Einstein.

Although...if we did spend some time doing "peasant work," like building or farming, sometimes (maybe one or two days a month, when there aren't higher nobles around?) would probably bolster our "Man of the People" image.

I move to have doctors Joe Bridger and Grant W. Drake be given temporary administrative access, in light of the current absence of two of our chief of staff.
I approve.

The Admins should be at least mildly separated from security staff and such. The containment of SCPs is our main priority. Security personnel, scientists, agents, and class D personnel are all probably going to be exposed to an SCP at least once in their working time here. This provides a very grave risk to our security if a malicious SCP was able to access feeds of the boardroom, and learn of our decisions. If we ever planned to destroy it, it could try and preemptively escape.
A greater risk than a hostile anomaly, and a much more probable one, would be administrative staff abusing their power over the tapes. And, anyways, how are the security staff supposed to do their job properly if they can't even view security tapes?
Are administrators also the only ones with access to weapons on base, in case a muderous anomaly takes control of a security staff member?
How about research notes and containment procedures? Are you not afraid that hostile anomalies would glean valuable information from those?
And what if an administrative staff member is affected?
(Although you do have a point with D-classers...although they should never have a legitimate reason to have access to security footage in the first place...)

I saw that.

This is a good point. Very well, i propose that direct and intentional observation of SCP footage be limited to security and scientists with appropriate clearance. It is in fact a breach of protocol for site administrators to intentionally deal with SCP's directly, and our policy regarding footage should reflect this.
I have no disagreements with this.

It would be quite funny if all seaspawn will become hostile to Vanida, then she'll go into "fixing her own mistake" mode
Somehow, this gave me an idea.

Udil got Neyravah's Life sphere...who got Their "Everything Backfires" sphere?

I'd like to note that the meteorites affected other areas, they just didn't affect them as strongly.

Name: Fern Spears
Nationality: Albanian
Notes: Fern was born as the only child of a well-off more-or-less-middle-class family. They sent him to a nice school and encouraged him to dive into his studies, which he did, becoming a stereotypical nerd. He graduated from high school with high honors and was going to go to college in France when his plans were...interrupted by the meteors, which affected him. Needless to say, this has caused...issues with even getting to France.

(Feel free to move the backstory forward or backward in time as you see fit, Persus.)

Well, at least the tapes should be sealed to everyone but us.
No. At the very least, let the security staff view them. And they should probably be available to anyone with a good reason to view them; that keeps everyone, admins included, honest.

Oh, and...

If it makes you feel better, if you had said "No" I would have called it a security risk.

The tablet is more thoroughly described in the OP, but there's not a lot of relevant detail.

Sorry.

Anyways, while I haven't watched all of Will's video yet, the intro makes it sound neat...

Thank you! What will it be called?

Just to emphasize, part of my main proposal was to ensure that all areas and facilities have audio and video surveillance. Including employee quarters. Just... so you guys know, or in case that isn't cool with your character.
Does this include the restrooms?
Yes.
That's a violation of peoples' privacy! If it makes you feel better, if you had said "No" I would have called it a security risk.

Anyways...why does no one want to actually go to some alchemy classes?
Because this is a journey about finding ourselves and our place in the world, not sitting through boring alchemy classes.
Um..."boring" and "alchemy" don't go well together.
Besides, I don't really want to learn how to do anything which has a high chance of causing an explosion without at least a little guidance from an experienced person.
