After recovery of SCP-1166, Class-C amnestics were administered 
to researchers and three executives of Corporation. An H- 
Type internet-based disinformation campaign was commenced by 
staff due to several references to SCP-1166 by a radical animal 
rights group. 


Intake Report-1166: Upon assuming custody of SCP-1166, Dr. 

conducted the following interview. SCP-1166 was provided 
with a specially modified touchpad in order to respond to staff 
inquiries through a text generator: 


Dr. : Please provide a brief description of yourself 
for the record, SCP-1166. 


SCP-1166: (written response) am a white labraTory rat. 
specimen R-82611. know wh.en hurting starts when the 
say R-82611 


Dr. : SCP-1166, do you know why you are currently 
in possession of the Foundation? 


SCP-1166: (written response) Foundation makes dokter 
stop hurting we. foundation not hu8rt we? 


Dr. : lam not going to hurt you SCP-1166. Now, 
you have been observed to experience a state 
indistinguishable from clinical death, and then 
subsequently revive. Yet you retain memories prior to 
each instance of death. Is this accurate? 


SCP-1166: (no response) 
Dr. : Is this accurate, SCP-1166? 


SCP-1166: (written response) R-82611 remember many 
many times. painf7I. but better now, dokter? 


Dr. : Are you aware of other specimens similar to 
yourself in existence? 


SCP-1166: (written response) no 


Dr. : Do you have any insight as to how you came 
to be self-aware and able to communicate with humans? 


SCP-1166: (written response) no 
Dr. : That will be all, SCP-1166. 


Addendum: Prior to the commencement of Experiment 1166-3, 
Researcher _ filed a formal complaint with the Site-23 Ethics 
Committee. Relevant documentation as follows: 


Request for Review by Site Ethics Committee 


SCP Involved: SCP-1166 


Requested By: Researcher 
Priority: B2 


Comments: SCP-1166 displays intelligence that may be 
equivalent to that of a normal human, along with 
emotions such as sadness, anxiety, and fear. Unlike a 
standard D-Class subject, SCP-1166 has not committed 
any crimes against established society, nor has it 
"consented" to any [COMMENTARY EXPUNGED]. 
Carrying out Experiment 1166-3, or indeed any of the 
other planned research slated for SCP-1166 would be an 
act of wanton cruelty for no purpose except to confirm 
what we already know. Science does not require that we 
abandon our morals, such as they are in this place, and 
neither | nor any other Researchers can continue the 
inhumane treatment of this poor being. We still have 
consciences, damn it. 


MEMORANDUM 


To: Dr. 


From: Site-23 Ethics Committee 


RE: Review Request 1166 


After three rounds of voting over a two-day period 
involving numerous abstentions by members, by a 7-6 
decision the Committee has approved further testing 
involving SCP-1166 provided that updated parameters 
regarding its use are adopted. 


While the Committee recognizes the objections of 
Researcher _ regarding intrusive and painful testing on 
a sapient and non-consenting life form, SCP-1166 
displays properties that must be understood and 
documented in full by the Foundation. SCP-1166's 
regenerative properties in particular merit further study; 
applied knowledge of its principles may have great 
benefit both in the containment of dangerous 


phenomena and in use by Foundation staff. 


This being said, measures to minimize distress to 
SCP-1166 are authorized and encouraged. The 
Committee recommends use of amnestics to reduce 
SCP-1166's memories of particularly traumatic events, 
and after review of Experiment Log 1166-2, anesthesia 
for medical procedures is now required. Research staff 
are encouraged to communicate with SCP-1166 ona 
daily basis regarding non-mission sensitive topics as a 
further means of documenting its anomalous intelligence. 


Upon his request, Researcher has been transferred to 
work on SCP-

SCP-1167: Disembodied Robot Head 


Item #: SCP-1167 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1167 and any related 
objects are to be stored in a 3m x 3m x 3m chamber at Site-1167-2. 
Each is to be kept in a locked case equipped with a security camera. 


Site-1167-1 is to be staffed by 2 security personnel at all times, 
disguised as forest rangers. Exploration temporarily suspended. 


Any anomalous material or items found at Site-1167-2 are to be 
studied and cleared by Dr. Stinson before being brought into contact 
with SCP-1167. 


Description: SCP-1167 is an automaton approximately 20cm tall 
consisting of a control unit attached to an articulated arm and a flat 
base. The subject's components are of unknown manufacture and 
utilize an advanced power source that has not required recharging 
at any point during containment. SCP-1167 was discovered by 
spelunkers in [REDACTED] and delivered to local authorities, who 
passed it on to Foundation personnel. Site-1167-1 has been 
established at the discovery location. 


SCP-1167 is capable of limited locomotion by pushing at the ground 
with the base of its arm to gradually propel the control unit forward. 
Left alone, SCP-1167 will attempt to navigate outside of any 
containing structure, at which point it will adopt a heading towards 
23.56 S, 68.16 W, changing direction only to avoid obstacles. 


SCP-1167 is capable of synthesized speech but does not respond to 
questions. SCP-1167 continually repeats the following message in 
124 languages, including 8 dead languages and 15 which have not 
been identified. 


SCP-1167: Broadcast alert. Recovery failed. Initiate 
retreat and seek reinforcements. Alert. Alert. 


If anearby person speaks approximately 5 full sentences of a 
specific language, SCP-1167 will use that language exclusively until 
the person leaves the immediate area. Between each repetition 
SCP-1167 will produce a 1 second burst of static. The sound is 
identical each time, but has not yielded any meaningful information. 


SCP-1167 was delivered to multiple testing sites and placed on the 
ground to track movement over 100m. This information was used to 
triangulate the subject's possible destination. A research team was 
sent to the location, which is in the vicinity of the Monturaqui crater 
in Chile. An initial survey yielded no anomalous discoveries. 
SCP-1167 was delivered to the site and placed upon the ground. 
SCP-1167 scanned the environment before speaking. 


SCP-1167: Scan complete. Conveyance missing. 
Maintain location and await reinforcements. 


Site-1167-2 has been established for further study and excavation of 
the target location. Several anomalous objects have been located 
and presented to SCP-1167 to produce additional messages. 


Addendum: 


SCP-1167-1: A mechanical hand with similar construction to 
SCP-1167, discovered 220m NE of Site-1167-2, 5m below ground. 
The wrist is cleanly severed. 

SCP-1167 Reaction: Scan complete. Missing component relocated. 
Retain for repair. 


SCP-1167-2: Unnatural scarring of a section of bedrock measuring 
150m x 1m, discovered 1km NE of Site-1167-2, 8m below ground. 
Sample acquired. 

SCP-1167 Reaction: Scan complete. Archived status report: 
Weapon modification ineffective. Continue pursuit. 


SCP-1167-3: A non-functioning control unit similar to SCP-1167, 
minus the arm/base. Recovered during an exploration of the cave 
system under Site-1167-1. 4 members of the exploration team 


remain missing. 
SCP-1167 Reaction: Scan complete. Archived status report: Unit 
leader terminated. Target lost. Initiate retreat.

SCP-1168: A Highly Immature and Completely 
Unofficial Parody 


Item #: SCP-1168 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1168 is stored within a 
hermetically sealed containment unit in Sector-19. Personnel 
assigned to Sector-19 must not fit Profile Alpna-1168 (see 
Addendum 1) or Profile Beta-1168 (see Addendum 2). 


Description: SCP-1168 is a copper sculpture identical to the work 
Statue of Theseus by Georgios Fytalis, with the following deviations: 


* Dating indicates it was created atleast years after the 
genuine sculpture. 


In the sculpture's left hand are 30 silver coins dating from ca. 
30, stamped with the 1977 design of Chuck-E-Cheese game 
tokens. 


Inscribed on the outer side of Theseus' shield is the phrase 
Arooote obv Ta Kaioapoc Kaioapi.' 


Inscribed on the inner side of Theseus' shield is the phrase 
SIC DOMITO SAEVVM PROSTRAVIT CORPORE THESEVS 
from Catullus 64.2 The inscription appears to have been 
engraved some time after acquisition; it is currently unknown 
how this engraving occurred. 


SCP-1168 displays no anomalous properties while inactive. The 
object activates whenever 170 or more meters of yarn is placed into 
the sculpture's right hand. SCP-1168 closes its right hand around 
the yarn, the yarn is annihilated by anomalous means, and the 
object enters a "pending" state. 


When SCP-1168 is in a "pending" state it will appear inactive until a 
human subject fitting Profile Alpha-1168 or Profile Beta-1168 enters 
SCP-1168's radius of effect.3 


When a human subject fitting Profile Aloha-1168 enters SCP-1168's 
area of effect, SCP-1168 will unclench its right hand and move its 
right arm to point its tertiary finger in the direction of subject for at 
least 5 seconds’, after which it will return to its "pending" state. 
Subject is subsequently designated SCP-1168-1. 


When a human subject fitting Profile Beta-1168 enters SCP-1168's 
area of effect, SCP-1168 will move its left arm to point two fingers in 
the direction of subject for at least 10 seconds, after which it will 
return to its inactive state. Subject is subsequently designated 
SCP-1 168-2. 


When SCP-1168-1 and SCP-1168-2 simultaneously exist, 
SCP-1168 will deactivate, and SCP-1168-1 will instantly materialize 
a wooden club and be encased in a 3m x 3m x 3m cube of ice. 
SCP-1168-2 will seek instances of SCP-1168-16 and initiate 
ritualized interactions (see Addendum 3). After completion, 
SCP-1168-2 ceases designation. 


The ice surrounding SCP-1168-1 is impervious to any interference 
and melts at a rate of 176mL per day. After SCP-1168-1 is free of 
the ice, subject ceases designation. 


Addendum 1: 
+ Document 11168-01: Profile Alpha-1168 


Profile Alpha-1168 subjects have public records of any of 
a list of sex crimes (see document Alpha-1168 for a list 
of currently known crimes which fulfill the criterion). 


Addendum 2: 
+ Document 11168-02: Profile Beta-1168 


Profile Beta-1168 subjects are blond Caucasian men 
aged 15 to 18. All subjects are in their junior year of high 
school. 


Addendum 3: 
+ Document |1 168-03: Log of interaction between SCP-1168-1 and S¢ 


Foreword: Log of interaction appears similar 
to a scene from the video "The 
Misadventures of Skooks - Part 3/6" 
from Youtube user Orpheusftw. SCP-1168-2 
faces SCP-1168-1 from its left side. 


<Begin Log> 


SCP-1168-2: Boy, am | glad he's frozen in 
there and that we're [sic] out here, and that- 


SCP-1168-1 materializes a brown stetson on 
its head and a golden badge in the shape of a 
six pointed star on its breast. 


SCP-1168-2: -he's the sheriff and- 


SCP-1168-2 develops a thin layer of frost 
around its skin. 


SCP-1168-2: -that we're [sic] frozen out here 
and that- 


SCP-1168-2 teleports into SCP-1168-1's block 
of ice. This does not hinder SCP-1168-2's 
speech, which originates from its position at 
the start of the interaction. 


SCP-1168-2: -we're [sic] in there and | JUST 
remembered- 


SCP-1168-2 teleports into its initial position. 


SCP-1168-2: -that we're [sic] out here. But 
what | wanna know is, where's the sex 
offender?

Addendum 4: 
+ Document |1168-09: Post Recovery Interview #6 
Interviewed: Jude Kriyot. Male. 23 years old. 
Interviewer: Agent O. 


Foreword: On / /20 , SCP-1168 was on 
public display in the Syntagma Square in 
Athens, Greece. It is currently unknown when 
SCP-1168 replaced the original sculpture. 
According to eyewitness account, the interview 
subject approached SCP-1168, after which the 
object entered an active state and selected 
SCP-1168-1 and SCP-1168-2 from nearby 
individuals. Interview subject was taken into 
custody by police along with eleven 
other witnesses. 


<Begin Log, 03:50 / /20 > 


Agent O. : I'm just gonna ask you a few 
questions. 


Jude Kriyot: Okay. 


Agent : Your name is Jude Kriyot, 
correct? 


Kriyot: Yeah. 


Agent : You’re a student from 
[REDACTED]? 


Kriyot: Was. Not really doing much these 
days. 


Agent : Why did you do something to the 
statue? 


Kriyot: The statue? | thought this was about 


the dude freez- 


Agent : Please answer the question, Mr. 
Kriyot. 


Kriyot: Sorry. Uh, | got a letter from an old 
teacher. He had... stuff. Y'know. He told me to 
do it or that, uh, stuff would. Y'know. The stuff 
would be aired. We sent some letters back and 
forth, | was asking how he'd know, he dodged 
it by saying he had friends in the area. 


Agent : Do you still have these letters? 


Kriyot: I've only got a few left. | took to... 
burning them. After a bit. But | can get them if- 


Agent : That won't be necessary, thank 
you. 


A raid on Mr. Kriyot's home after interview 
discovered letters confirming correspondence 
with said teacher. Ashes were found in the 
trash can. 


Agent : Could you describe this man to 
me? 


Kriyot: Okay. Old white dude, probably in his, 
uh... seventies? Grey hair, pretty long. Usually 
wears a ponytail. 


Description and letters correspond to Pol _, 
former teacher at [REDACTED]. 


Agent : Do you know why he wanted you 
to place the yarn on the statue? 


Kriyot: Well, he knew me, and he knew he 
had me by the balls. 


Agent : Allow me to rephrase. Do you 


know his reasoning for wanting the yarn 
placed on the statue? 


Kriyot: Yeah. He mentioned that it was a 
metaphor or something. He was a sucker for 
bullshi- er, sorry, pompous gestures. 


Agent : It's all right. Could you explain 
what you mean by appeal? 


Kriyot: Well, you know, Theseus killed the 
Minotaur. Dude's old. Told me his health 
wasn't the best, thought maybe this would 
make the old gods happy or something. He, 
uh, also knew my health wasn't the best, 
mentioned something about it doing the same 
for me. 


Agent : Were you expecting the statue to 
move? 


Kriyot: What? 


Agent : Did you think the statue would 
move? 

Kriyot: Oh. 

Agent : We have witnesses saying the 


statue pointed at Mr. and Mr. 

Interviewee remains silent for one minute. 
Agent : Are you all right, Mr. Kriyot? 
Kriyot: No. I'm not all right. 

Agent : Would you like to take a moment? 
Kriyot: [Pause] No. | can continue. 


Agent : Why the silence? 


Kriyot: I'm sorry. It. Reminded me of some 
shit. 


Agent : Some shit? 


Kriyot: |. Yeah. |, uh. Look man. | burned the 
letters for a reason. [Pause] The teacher had 
an art group at the college. He asked me to 
show up once. 


Agent : An art group? 


Kriyot: Yeah. When | got there, uh. It was a 
warehouse, | guess. A private art show. There 
was a... a Statue, sculpture, whatever, fuckin' 
Dali thing. Moved when you put a coin in it. 
And... She was there. There because | was 
there, because | told her... Because | told her 
it was cool.
