SCP-647 does excrete waste products. The waste is ordinary water, 
mixed with a fluid visually similar to motor oil. Analysis of the oil-like 
liquid is ongoing. 


As the time since the last feeding increases, the transformation 
becomes more elaborate, including a blanket and lining of 
newspaper (after two days), cans of food (after three days) and 
bottles of alcoholic beverages (after five days). 


Its natural habitat is an urban environment. SCP-647 chooses one 
spot, usually in the corner of an alleyway, out of direct view of main 
streets. After feeding two or three times, SCP-647 will relocate, 
usually during the night. Locomotion is achieved by means of 
movement of the flaps. 


SCP-647 has also been know to actively attack a subject rather than 
waiting for them to enter on their own. Attacks have been triggered 
by: 


¢ Attempts to damage SCP-647 (including sample retrieval) 

« Attempts to remove extra components manifested by 
SCP-647 

¢ Time periods of more than 7 days between feedings 


In addition, after eight days, SCP-647 will attempt to relocate. If 
blocked, it will spray a caustic liquid similar to its digestive juices 
onto all nearby objects (including walls), causing them to dissolve 
over fifteen to twenty minutes depending on composition and mass. 


SCP-647 is self-repairing. Fibrous tendrils will grow across any 
tears, taking on the appearance of duct tape after approximately one 
hour, and appearing as cardboard matching the rest of the surface 
after twenty-four hours. When set on fire, SCP-647 will let out a 
loud, human-like shriek and attack any subject in range, while the 
surface will [REDACTED]. 


Circumstances of Retrieval: A sharp decline in the number of 
indigent persons with no correlating increase of admissions to 
homeless shelters in [REDACTED] was noted by routine data- 
mining. Agents were dispatched to investigate. After a ten-day 
search, Agents located the source of the decline, SCP-647, as it

Excerpts from PHYSICS Division Field Manual 1: 
Operative's Handbook 


Preface 


We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of 
infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. 

- H.P. Lovecraft 

- "The Call of Cthulhu" 


"Fuck that shit. Let's find out what's on that horizon." 
- Agent "Madrigal" 
- Strike Team "Noble Phantom" 


For most of human history, our species has been at the mercy of 
powers foreign to, and supposedly greater than, ourselves. Magical 
or religious, extraterrestrial or extradimensional, these parathreats 
have been the Damocles Sword hanging over the head of our 
species since the first apes came down from the trees - or out of the 
water, based on which evolutionary theory you ascribe to. 


No longer. Our species is now taking back control of our destiny. We 
are now at war with That Which Should Not Be: the Real fighting 
against the Unreal. And you, as a Coalition recruit, are one of the 
heroes who will serve a vital role in that war. 


This manual is not meant to be a comprehensive guide to 
parathreats. Reading it will not teach you how to defeat a physical 
god. That knowledge will come with time, and experience. Instead, it 
is meant to serve as a distillation of the fundamental principles 
learned by PHYSICS operatives since our founding in the late 
1940s, broadly applicable in all parathreat scenarios. Think of it as 
the foundation upon which you will build your skills: broad, plain, 


largely invisible, but vital nonetheless. 


Five Precepts 


1) You are expendable. 


There are over six billion human beings living in the world today. 
You are one of them. Cold-hearted as it may be, given the choice 
between the two, humanity wins every time. Before anything else, 
you must come to terms with this fact: not only for yourself, but for 
your friends, family, and loved ones. If the time should come that 
you are asked to make the ultimate sacrifice, you must do so swiftly, 
resolutely, and without hesitation. A moment's delay could be 
disastrous. 


2) You are not disposable. 


The Coalition doesn't have limitless reserves. Our numbers are 
small enough, and the threats we face terrible enough, that we 
cannot afford to lose a single operative to accident or stupidity. Your 
life is a vital resource to be nurtured and husbanded, and if it must 
be spent, it must be used to maximum effectiveness before it is lost. 


3) Knowledge is power. 


The threats we face are numerous, and each one is unique. In order 
to combat them effectively, we must know what we are facing. 
Information, more than any bullet or blade, is our weapon, and we 
need as much of it as possible. Keep no secrets from your 
comrades or superiors. If you learn something, pass it on as soon as 
possible. If you are killed, your last act before dying should be to try 
to make sure someone knows how you died. 


4) Don't question it, just accept it. 


There are things you will never know. There are things that the 
human mind can't comprehend, and other things that you will simply 
never find out. If you obsess over the things you do not know, you 
will become distracted and lose focus. As much as you can, focus 
on the Here and the Now. 


5) You are only human. 


You will make mistakes. You will grow tired and weak. There will be 
moments when you act stupidly and other moments when you 
express unexpected brilliance. You cannot let failure allow you to fall 
into despair, or success to lead to arrogance. Down either path 
leads disaster. 


The Golden Rule 


Never work alone. 


Preparation 


1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, 
which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2 
And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 They that were 
foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: 4 But the wise 
took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 

- Matthew 25:1-4 


You can't cut with a dull knife, you can't drive a car without gas, and 
you can't face world-ending parathreats without being prepared, 
body and mind, for what's coming. Your handlers and trainers will 
take care of the specific things you need to learn to prepare for your 
job. This section of the manual is meant more to outline things you 
can do above and beyond required training to maximize your 
chances of survival... and more importantly, your ability to complete 
your mission. 


Body 


¢ Keep Healthy: This goes without saying. Eat healthy, make 
sure your innoculations are up to date, don't slack off on PT. If 
you have any pre-existing conditions, make sure your 
teammates know how take care of you in case you are 
incapacitated. If you have any new health issues come up, 
make sure someone else knows, even if it's as minor as a 
cold or a sprained ankle from playing basketball. In the field, in 
a crisis situation, is the last time to find out a team member 
has a severe fever. 


* Know How to Fight: PHYSICS Division has many assets if 
you want to brush up on your personal combat training. Make 
use of them. 


Practice Flight: Practice your escape and evasion 
techniques: learn how to climb a fence (chain link and barbed 
wire), break a window safely, kick down a door, and most 
importantly, how to fall safely without injury. When the shit hits 
the fan and you have to get out of there, know how. 


* Be Ready for the Worst: Make sure your first aid and CPR 
certifications are up to date. Keep your issued medical kit on 
you at all times, and know how to use it on yourself and 
others. 


Mind 


¢ Stay Healthy: Your mind is your most important weapon. 

Make sure it is healthy. Get regular psych evaluations, and 
follow the recommendations of the shrinks. Addictions and 
phobias can cripple performance at the worst possible time: 
have them treated right away. Watch your comrades too: if 
one of your team members starts to behave in an unstable 
manner, contact an evaluator for an assessment. Don't try to 
cover for your friends: it's better to get them help now than to 


let minor issues become major ones... or worse, let a 
cognitohazard fester in the mind of your teammate. 


¢ Train Yourself: Observation and situational awareness are 
vital in this job. Practice both. Logic puzzles are another good 
way to hone your mind. Broaden your knowledge base as 
much as possible: you never know when a minor factoid will 
turn out to be vital. 


¢ Learn to communicate: If you don't know the local language, 
then at the very least, learn how to say the following words 
and phrases in the country you'll be operating in: 


Yes. 

No. 

Help. 

Emergency. 

Danger. 

Do you speak [language]? 

Stay away. 

Drop the weapon and lay down. 
| need a telephone. 

Where can | find a doctor? 


O® 


OOD QO OOo 


¢ Know Your Enemy: Read after-action reports. Read Threat 
Entity dossiers. Talk to more experienced field operatives 
about their experiences. Find out everything you can about 
the parathreats you may face. The greatest fear is the fear of 
the unknown: make sure you have as little to fear as possible.
