I am not shocked by this, as I have asked for writing a support case about AWS SCP and it wrote it in the style of the scp-wiki. I got a good chuckle out of it and wondered if it made sense to add it as a joke to my default prompt.

Yep. The focus on dramatic code names, "access levels", and "containment" is all very characteristic of SCP fictional content. (The use of Unicode characters like U+2588 FULL BLOCK to imitate "censored" text is popular in that community as well.)
