I enjoy it when an SCP references another one, it expand the “universe” and makes for more interesting reading. A pair I found very fun to read was [SCP 76](http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-076) and [SCP 73](http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-073). If you read the addendum to 76, it gives you clues about the origins of this SCP. I liked how the author constructed these two and linked them together. I didn’t figure out what these two were until I read SCP 73 ---

That one was sort of inspired by a dream I had where Puget Sound (which I live less than 1000 feet from the banks of) was a massive inland sea that absorbed most of the northwest. I decided that day to make an SCP out of it and that was what resulted. ---

Yeah, 73 is clearly supposed to be Cain but what’s 76? It puzzled me because it was obviously supposed to be something. ---

Its Abel! Cain and Abel! Though they spell it “Able”. There was a line saying he was unusually familiar with livestock, and apparently Cain was the farmer and Abel was the shepherd in the stories. ---

The lethal region behind the veil sounds like the reference to God being behind a curtain or something in the Old Testament - Holy of Holies, perhaps?

And the restrictions on Team B sound like the priest classes from the same time period. Don’t have a Bible at hand or the time here at work to look it up online and confirm. And if you read the supplemental logs, any reference to what is in that area is written as “[h]im” or “[h]e,” suggesting that someone devout originally capitalized the H and it was being ‘corrected’ to lower-case in the Foundation report. ---

More on 1348: team A is the group who can’t have a religious background and are to carry out Protocol 228-MELECHAH in a Bad Situation. Googling “melechah” seems to indicate it means in Hebrew [barrenness or a salt land](http://soamc.org/tfh/FILES/Bible_Studies_-_KJV/Personal%20Bible%20Study/index6.htm); it would imply that the location is to be purged. Another thought: if the exclusion on team B means the usual priest group is excluded, perhaps it is/was a splinter group that blundered into Something Big and the Foundation is just trying to contain it as best they can? ---
