Who would the SCP foundation, GOC, Ci Etc. Side with.

So, i was thinking of a fix for the lwotc SCP faction mod, and i asked myself, who would the SCP foundation actually side with. On one hand, they could side with ADVENT, seeing as they are the new world government. On the other hand, they could side with Xcom, seeing as how they were both secret military organizations. GOC is a bit trickier, but they most likely would be with advent. CI might help the resistance, but i also think they might side with advent, if the foundation sided with xcom. Serpants hand though, would 100% side with Advent.

They would side with XCOM or just oppose elders in general.

While siding with Advent would explain certain anomalies for SCP foundation, they are suppose to protect humanity against anomalies and interdimensional occupants...that occupy alot of the SCP articles as enemies of mankind. in most stories SCP foundation will actively fight against aliens whenever they try to do anything to Earth. And it wont be long till they would discover all the magic about gene therapy clinics and what happens to people and what Avatar project is about.

GOC would make most sense to side with XCOM for few reasons
1) Both XCOM and GoC are from the same organisation, the United Nations. UN is just the public face of the Council.
2) Both XCOM and GoC share similar ideology of "shoot first, ask second". No integoriations, rampart destruction, XCOM smashes everything it sees instead of capturing and containing, everything you make is human tech derived from aliens . Things like Avatar facilities also share the fate of "What we cannot understand, we blow up !". Leviathan, Chosen Sarcophaguheses are all the same "Dont bother with research, just blow it up, even if it could be used".

3) Both XCOM and GOC share similar view at reality benders
GOC has wizards schools and reality benders in their ranks, XCOM has psionics. In same universe the difference between them wouldnt be that large. As long as they are useful and loyal to our cause, we can use them.

4) GOC are the true defenders of humanity, during SCP 5000 they were the only thing that stood against SCP foundation when it decided to wipe out humanity, so when it all comes down, GOC will stand, even against its own specie... and these Elders that want to enslave us ? In eyes of GOC, Elders = anomalies needing exterminating.

Chaos Insurgency wouldnt side with Elders either (Or atleast, not initially), The Engineer knows better, though i guess their hostily towards Advent might not be initial and they would be on the side of the "winners" which would be Advent for a big part of the campaign but as The Engineer would learn more about Advent and XCOM would start unraveling the Avatar project he would come to a conclussion that Elders will genocide mankind.

So Chaos Insurgecy would still be i guess hostile to XCOM on side of Advent till you finish Advent Blacksite facility and even after then i guess they would be still hostile but to both factions as they would see XCOM as just a branch of GoC with fancier gear and flying HQ.

Horizon Initiative would also side against Advent, seeing them as hell spawns, so would Marshall and Carter because Advent pretty much renders their business inoperable. And all those "for the lolz" groups (are we cool yet, gamers against weed) would also be hostile to Advent since they would be on their hit lists as undesirables. And world wide slavery doesnt sound very fun.

But those dont exist as raider factions

Cultists of Yaldabaoth would be badass as enemy faction though, having flesh monstrosities as combat animals, cultists with psi powers and shapeshifting mechanics.

Serpents Hand would be interesting depending on the "void" threat that elders and warlock allude to, if its a real threat and Elders can only stop it, then yes, SH would side with Advent to make that happen. If the opposite is true and Elders are just incompetent and Void could be beaten by other factions in our galaxy, then they would stay aside and let XCOM liberate Earth.
