Communications via SCP-1193-02, mostly concerning 
SCP-1193-01's oven and refrigerator, indicate that SCP-1193-01 
may lack conventional thermoreception, and that it is experiencing 
no substantial discomfort despite borehole temperatures in excess 
of 674 degrees Centigrade. 


SCP-1193-02 is a GPO 746 telephone, topaz yellow, manufactured 
in 1971. Its dimensions preclude it having been delivered to the site 
via the borehole; containment team's present working theory is that 
it was installed topside for the purpose of communicating with 
SCP-1193-01. Installation was conducted by unknown parties, by 
unknown means, for unknown purposes. The rotary dial has been 
glued into place, rendering it unsuitable for outgoing phone calls. It 
is attached to a conventional twisted-pair line which enters the 
drainage pipe containing SCP-1193-01 and descends parallel to 
SCP-1193-01 until endoscopy is no longer practicable. 


At between 0838 and 1034 hours Mountain Standard Time each 
weekday, the phone will ring five times. If answered, an unidentified 
voice will willingly engage in conversation with SCP personnel. The 
voice on the other end of the line invariably claims to be a human 
being, and regularly mistakes the individual on the other end of the 
phone for an authority figure. Interrogation to date has therefore 
been relatively uncomplicated. Notable parallels exist between 
information elicited via SCP-1193-02 and demonstrable facts about 
SCP-1193-01. To date, anomalous information received via 
SCP-1193-02 has included: 


¢ References to human features, but an anomalous body plan. 

¢ References to insensitivity to heat or cold. 

¢ References to 'a cousin’ or other relative, who will soon arrive 
to ‘pick [him] up.’ 

¢ References to discomfort and boredom at confinement. 

¢ References to minor seismic events along the Little Chino 
fault complex. 

¢ References to discomfort at having a limb or other body part 


restrained, as by handcuffs, a jelly jar, a pipe, a cast, or in one 
instance, a gopher hole. 


At present, data related to SCP-1193-01's size, physical form, and 
body plan beyond the parts visible through endoscopic investigation 
should be regarded as provisional. For contingent protocols and 
physiological testing data, consult Document RTMR-Delta.

SCP-1194: Damaged Toy Horse 


Item #: SCP-1194 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1194-1 is to be kept ina 
secured storage locker in Research Sector-12 when not in use. 
Deactivation of SCP-1194 is to be initiated through the termination 
of the active SCP-1194-2-T subject or, if more convenient, the 
SCP-1194-2 instance. 


Testing Chamber 13-A (a standard humanoid containment unit) and 
13-B (modified to serve as a stable) are to be maintained for the 
purposes of experimentation involving SCP-1194. Please see 
Document 1194-C for extensive information on standard testing 
procedure. 


Description: SCP-1194 consists of two parts: SCP-1194-1 and 
SCP-1194-2. 


SCP-1194-1 is a small device (roughly 3 cm x 1 cm x 4 cm), 
consisting of a speaker attached to a pull-string (roughly 6cm of 
which is exposed while not being activated, with an actual length of 
roughly 11cm) and a plastic case; analysis of the speaker, however, 
shows it to have at some point been rendered inactive despite the 
remainder of the mechanism being functional. Upon being 
protracted, the string will slowly retract to its original length at a rate 
proportional to the length removed. When a female subject pulls the 
string until an additional 3cm is exposed, SCP-1194 is activated, 
causing the manifestation of an SCP-1194-2 instance.’ Partial 
retraction, or retraction by a male subject, does not have this effect. 


SCP-1194-2 is an organism, largely similar in physiology and 
morphology to an adult member of Equus ferus caballus, with an 
average height of 139cm. Upon the activation of SCP-1194, 
SCP-1194-2 will appear on the nearest suitable flat surface,2 


provided such a space is present within 30 metres of the device; 
otherwise, activation will fail to occur. Instances have displayed 
various sizes, breeds and both sexes, and are notable for various 
biological irregularities — including the presence of betacyanins, 
pararosaniline and other pigments not usually found in mammals on 
their coats, typically causing a mild purple or pink colouration. 
Specimens do not synthesise or otherwise produce these chemicals, 
causing this colouration to fade over time. 


The death of an SCP-1194-2 specimen, that of the relevant 
SCP-1194-2-T subject, or the string of SCP-1194-1 being pulled 
during an active state, will cause the current instance of SCP-1194-2 
to disappear. Should the lattermost situation occur, a new specimen 
will appear provided the conditions for this occurring are met. Upon 
disappearing, the volume previously occupied by the specimen will 
be replaced by a gas consistent in composition and density with 
standard tropospheric air. 


The following is a copy of the text found on a torn document 
recovered with SCP-1194-1 (see below). A section of the document 
has been rendered illegible. Further investigation has revealed no 
information regarding the object’s relation to Group of Interest "Dr. 
Wondertainment".

Wondertainment takes no responsibility for the 
destruction of life created by Dr. Wondertainment, or 


damage caused to said life after creation. For more

department currently associated with Dr. 
Wondertainment. 


Specimens of SCP-1194-2 behave in a manner normal for a horse 
of their estimated age (typically four to five years, except in three — 
at time of writing — known cases: please refer to documentation 
regarding SCP-1194-2-5, -9 and -13, all of which were significantly 
below the average age of other specimens); several notable 
anatomical and physiological distinctions are, however, present: 


¢ Firstly, specimens are effectively incapable of vocalisation; 
examination has revealed no direct cause of this, as no 
features of relevant tissue or mouthparts seem to function in a 
preventative manner. Experimentation involving the placement 
of specimens in situations which would cause distress has 
failed to provoke any vocal reaction, despite successfully 
doing so in the cases of normal horses. 


* Specimens do not excrete faeces or urine, despite intaking 
and digesting food normally. Specimens do, however, 
maintain a relatively constant mass if well-fed, and will lose 
mass if not provided with food: how this is regulated is not 
currently known. 


Extended lack of contact with their relevant SCP-1194-2-T 
subject has invariably resulted in several severe symptoms 
occurring in SCP-1194-2 specimens, usually becoming 
noticeable after four days without physical contact, and 
substantially affecting behaviour after seven to eight. This has, 
in all known cases, followed the same progression: heart rate 
first decreasing at a constant rate, followed by the symptoms 
of prolonged nutrient deprivation, and the specimen behaving 
in a way consistent with that of horses experiencing illness 
and starvation. Death will occur at fourteen days — the exact 
cause of this is not known due to the disappearance 
experienced by SCP-1194-2 upon dying. 


¢ The unusual pigments present within the coat of specimens 
will regularly (i.e., once every 3-12 months) be replaced with 


green cadmium dye, eventually causing acute poisoning from 
absorption, over several days. This process is gradual, 
marked by a decrease in the intensity of the previous 
colouration as the former pigment reduces in concentration 
while the cadmium increases, and typically takes two to three 
days to complete. While this is rarely fatal, the symptoms 
typically associated with exposure to the toxin manifest by the 
time the dye’s concentration stops increasing. Continued 
exposure to SCP-1194-2-T appears to lessen the severity of 
these symptoms, and the substance will disappear from the 
body of specimens over the course of several minutes under a 
week after initially appearing. When this occurs, the pigment 
previously removed will return, often to the concentration 
possessed during the initial manifestation of the specimen. In 
all instances of this occurrence, specimens have made a full 
recovery with provision of appropriate treatment. 


SCP-1194-1 was originally recovered from a house in ; 
England, after an automated search of local police files regarding 
the suicide of one . The remains of a ceramic and plastic 
casing resembling a generic horse of no discernible breed, 
apparently broken by extreme fall damage, were also found within a 
metre of the object. Said casing’s interior displayed similarity to that 
of toys designed to accommodate pullstring speakers. 
Approximately 20% of the casing could not be located, and standard 
post-acquisition protocol was later completed. 


Addendum (Refer to Endoscopy Reports 1194- through ): 
Extensive analysis has demonstrated a consistent structural 
abnormality in the vocal folds of SCP-1194-2 specimens. Research 
is Ongoing. 


¢ Update 20 - - : The vivisection of SCP-1194-2- 6, - 7 and- 8 
has revealed their vocal apparatus to bear a notable similarity 
to that of an adolescent human female, despite the fact that 
both SCP-1194-2- 6 and 8 were male. It is unknown if this 
represents the entirety of the organisms produced by 
SCP-1194: exhaustive testing is currently being planned. 


Footnotes 
1. The relevant female is at this point considered SCP-1194-2-T, 


and is assigned a specific number (e.g., SCP-1194-T-03) 

2. Note: “suitable flat surface” refers to any solid surface with a great 
enough area to accommodate a standing, full-grown horse, without 
any inhibiting factors such as the presence of liquid or solid matter, 
extreme ambient temperature, etc. which would cause severe injury 
to or restrict the movement of the specimen.

SCP-1195: Child's Storybook 


Item #: SCP-1195 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1195 is to be stored ina 
standard Safe-class storage locker. The locker is to be locked by 
keypad, the combination known to the current head researcher, and 
changed in the event of a new researcher. 


SCP-1195 is to be placed on a standard lecture podium for ease of 
reading, unless being dictated to or otherwise being used in 
experimentation. Personnel are instructed to cease any oration that 
is seen to provoke an unintended negative response. 


Description: SCP-1195 is a leather-bound book (approx. 25cm x 
17cm) of indeterminate origin and age; carbon-dating on the pages 
has given inconsistent results, and forensic examination of the 
leather matches no known species. It seems to have a variable 
number of pages, averaging approximately at 400. 


SCP-1195's anomalous properties become apparent whenever it is 
opened. Most often, the first page is found blank, and after a 
moment, the object will attempt to communicate via written text 
"bleeding" onto the page. It will always initially communicate in 
Euskara, but upon being responded to in any other language, it will 
continue to interact with the spoken/written one instead. Its method 
of instantaneously understanding and learning new languages is 
unknown, and recommended for further study. SCP-1195 has 
demonstrated an ability to converse in Braille in experiments with 
blind test subjects. 


Upon being "activated" in this way, SCP-1195 will make one of 
various requests (See document 1195-W37 for full list of requests); 
the most common request is to be told a story. 


When a story, allegory or other similarly descriptive speech is 
directed towards it, SCP-1195 will begin transcription. If the story is 
not told in a general readable format, SCP-1195 will reformat without 
noticeable loss of speed in the process. If allowed pauses during the 
story, SCP-1195 will offer criticism, encouragement, or other 
comments, depending on the oratory skill, imagination or interest of 
the speaker. Generally, SCP-1195 is willing to continue this process 
indefinitely, creating new pages as needed for extremely long 
stories. The maximum number of pages observed has been 3189, at 
which point SCP-1195 stated that it was "bored" and that the 
experiment in progress was "stupid". SCP-1195 then closed itself, 
and upon being re-opened was observed to only have 120 pages; 
however, whether this was due to dissatisfaction with the 
experiment, or with the quality of the narrative, is unknown. 


SCP-1195 has no direct means of locomotion; however, it can close 
itself with up to 15 N of force, and turn its own pages. It generally 
allows itself to be handled by anyone, save those who have 
physically damaged it or angered it previously.
