The Horizon Initiative 

The Horizon Initiative is an organization created in the late 1960s by various influential sects in the main three Abrahamic religions as a response to the growing number of anomalous activities and groups which they perceived as threats. Though the full extent of their goals is uncertain, the Horizon Initiative is known to target SCP objects, either with the intention of retrieving or destroying them, depending on each item's perceived place in their dogma.

The Initiative is led by a tribunal composed of leaders from the three largest sects involved in its creation, though a large amount of internal strife often leaves the official leadership in less than full control of the organization. The HI's main combat force, Project Malleus, is generally deployed in anti-cult operations and in SCP retrieval operations.

The Initiative's relations with most other Groups of Interest and the Foundation seems to be in a state of constant flux; while all parts of the HI perceive the Church of the Broken God and Fifth Church with a great degree of hostility (and at times engaging them in armed conflict), sentiments toward the Foundation and the GOC vary greatly, from open hostility to a limited willingness to cooperate, depending on the internal affiliation of individual members.
The Horizon Initiative is a new Group of Interest, and by God, I hate them already

sailor's invitation 

“Sailor’s invitation” The sailors come on to shore to a new port and have a good time with the locals. As they’re boat starts leaving the dock the next day, they yell to the locals “join us! Come!”… they do not actually intend on anyone to act upon the invitation. They were just being polite. A sailor’s invitation is a false invitation, it’s a polite way of saying goodbye and also hope or expect that the receiver doesn’t act upon.
They told me to come but it was a sailor's invitation.

Sailor’s invitation: Messi and the Argentinians attend Salt Bae’s Restaurant… they have such a good time, they tell Salt Bae to join them at the World Cup. Salt Bae did not realize it was a sailor’s invitation … sailor’s invitation
