Elements of Mobile Task Force Pi-1 located SCP-1155 in 
abandoned subway station after most recent relocation 
event. Team Leader made the decision to obscure 
SCP-1155 with a vending machine until more 
containment resources arrived, on the basis that there 
were not enough task force members on site to 
guarantee a secure perimeter, and local transients were 
known to use the area for shelter. SCP-1155 
immediately displaced to a nearby children’s playground, 
causing casualties before it could again be located. Due 
to highly public nature of this location, decision was 
made at Command level to again provoke a 
displacement event, resulting in the current containment 
location. Containment at the current location was 
expensive, requiring that an entire shopping centre be 
acquired by the Foundation and then subsequently 
closed, but the revised containment procedures have 
resulted in the longest time since a relocation event to 
date. 


The last few containment locations may point to a 
disturbing trend. Previously, SCP-1155 seemed to have 
a pattern of appearing in low traffic urban areas, often 


abandoned buildings or quiet underpasses. At risk of 
anthropomorphism, it appears to have become 
emboldened and will now readily appear in public 
spaces, which makes containment difficult. Over the 
objections of the containment team, leave the damn 
thing uncovered. Better we lose a few urban explorers or 
nosy kids every couple of years, rather than risk having it 
abduct more people before we can locate it each time. —

SCP-1156: Wellington the Wonder Horse 


Item #: SCP-1156 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1156 is to be housed in a 
stable adjacent to the Secure Outdoor Testing Facility at Site 73, 
and is to be provided with food, water, bedding, grooming, and 
veterinary care appropriate to a non-anomalous animal of its 
species. SCP-1156's stable is to be cleaned daily. SCP-1156 may 
be allowed supervised access to the Secure Outdoor Testing Facility 
for exercise and grazing purposes during daylight hours when no 
testing is scheduled. Any clothing changes exhibited by SCP-1156 
are to be documented and monitored. 


SCP-1156's cooperation with the Foundation is currently predicated 
on its belief that it is a paid employee thereof. During good behavior, 
SCP-1156 is to be assigned work of a low-priority nature, 
appropriate to its abilities. SCP-1156 is to be paid bi-weekly with 
scrip bearing a face value equivalent to the current UK minimum 
wage, minus legally permitted deductions for room and board, and is 
to be allowed to purchase approved sundries with said scrip from 
the Site 73 quartermaster. Failure to cooperate with Foundation 
personnel shall result in suspension of the above privileges. 


The Foundation is to monitor sales and transfers of domesticated 
horses in the United Kingdom for any additional horses presenting 
SCP-1156's characteristics. In the event that any such specimens 
are identified, the Foundation is to acquire the animal as soon as 
possible for separate containment at Site 73. 


Description: SCP-1156 is a male domesticated horse (Equus ferus 
caballus) of indeterminate breed and unknown age, approximately 
1.7 meters in height. SCP-1156's tongue, palate, lips, and vocal 
cords are shaped in a manner not found in non-anomalous horses, 
allowing it to produce phonemes used in human speech. 


SCP-1156's brain is approximately % larger than the brain of a 
non-anomalous horse, and possesses several anatomical regions of 
unknown purpose or function. 


SCP-1156 is sapient and is able to speak English with a thick accent 
resembling that historically spoken by natives of the East End of 
London, UK ("Cockneys" in common use), and claims to have been 
born and resided in the London borough of Whitechapel prior to its 
coming into Foundation custody. SCP-1156 identifies itself as 
"Wellington G. Wonderhorse" and describes itself as part of a 
community of sapient horses living openly throughout the East End 
(a claim which has not yet been corroborated by Foundation 
research.) SCP-1156 has demonstrated a limited ability to 
manipulate tools and simple machines with its lips, teeth, and 
tongue, including an ability to write by holding a pen in its mouth. 


SCP-1156 possesses a limited form of telekinesis, comprising an 
ability to dress itself by spontaneously manifesting clothing tailored 
to fit a large horse directly onto itself. Most frequently, this clothing 
takes the form of a silk top hat and a light blue scarf bearing the 
monogram "W.G.W." in gold embroidery, though SCP-1156 has 
demonstrated an ability to produce other articles of clothing, 
including neckties of various styles, coats, eyeglasses, masks, 
heraldic banners, harnesses, bridles and bits, and on one occasion 
upon a request from research staff, a full suit of articulated plate 
armor. Clothing manifested by SCP-1156 spontaneously disappears 
when SCP-1156 dresses itself differently; the source of the clothing 
and its ultimate disposition upon demanifesting is unknown. 
Forensic examination of the clothes themselves indicates that they 
are composed of common fabrics and metals and bear no 
anomalous properties in and of themselves. 


SCP-1156 was acquired by the Foundation in 20 following a raid 
on acountry club in [REDACTED], UK, owned by Marshall, Carter & 
Dark Ltd. SCP-1156 claimed to have been taken prisoner by MC&D 
six months prior after responding to a want ad for coach horses and 
forced to perform various tasks for the guests of the club. SCP-1156 
describes itself as a professional coach horse and has been 
convinced at this time that the Foundation is employing him for that 
purpose. 


+ Show Interview Log 1156-1 
Interview Log 1156-1: 


Dr. Samesh: Please state your name for the 
record. 


SCP-1156: Wellington Garrett Wonderhorse, 
at your service, milord! Finest coach 'orse in 
Whitechapel, and that's no eel! 


Dr. Samesh: And you have lived in 
Whitechapel your entire life, is that correct? 


SCP-1156: Born to the sound of the Bow 
Bells, sir, just like me old dad, and 'is before 
‘im, and 'is before 'im! We're an old and proud 
lineage, we are. My grandpa always said 
there's been Wonderhorses pullin’ folks 'round 
London since they signed the Magna Carta. 


Dr. Samesh: And there are more horses like 
you? 


SCP-1156: You're a fellow Blighter, aren't ya? 
‘Aven't you ever been to London? There's 
thousands of us all over the Joe! Millions, 
maybe... not as many as in me grandpa's day, 
sure. 


Dr. Samesh: So you wouldn't say there's 
anything unusual about your being able to 
speak? 


SCP-1156: I've never met an ‘orse that 
couldn't, milord. 


Dr. Samesh: And your making clothes 
appear? 


SCP-1156: Well, a bloke's got to look dignified 
when he's working for a room-and-board or the 


Oxford and ‘er kids, 'asn't 'e? Watch this, then. 
(SCP-1156 affects a "posh" accent.) 


SCP-1156: Good morning, ma'am. How do 
you do? Shall we be heading to the chapel this 
morning? Mind your step. 


(SCP-1156 resumes its normal manner of 
speech.) 


SCP-1156: Dad started teachin’ me that when 
| was barely a yearling. | was teachin' me own 
God-forbids before | wound up ‘ere, so they 
can take up the family trade when they're old 
enough. 


Dr. Samesh: You have a family? 


SCP-1156: Been married to the ol' trouble six 
years now. We've got three little ones now - 
Michael, he should just be starting school now, 
then there's Emily, and our yearling Gareth. 
He was already saying his first dickies when | 
got taken in by those Berkley 'unts at MC&D. 


Dr. Samesh: And how did you find yourself in 
the custody of Marshall, Carter, & Dark? 


SCP-1156: Well, work's been ‘ard to come by 
these days. Everyone's gone 'orseless, and 
there's not as much call for coach 'orses as 
back in me grandpa's day. Amy's been helping 
out at our local on Sundays, but with things 
bein' the way they are they ‘aven't got much 
work for ‘er either. We've been behind on the 
Burton, and the landlord was talkin’ about 
evicting us. Said if it weren't for the council 
breathin' down ‘is neck 'e'd never ‘ave rented 
to no 'orses in the first place. 


Dr. Samesh: Go on. 


SCP-1156: So | sees this ad in the Times, 
coach 'orses wanted to work in a country club. 
So | put on me finest suit and trot on down to 
Knightsbridge and tell the man in the office | 
want the job. 


Dr. Samesh: Did they hire you right away? 


SCP-1156: Hired? Now that's a load of 
‘orseshit right there. Never saw so much as 
five quid for six straight months. | told 'em I'd 
be writing me Member of Parliament! They just 
laughed and treated me unmerciful. | mean, 
this breakfast ain't exactly the Four Seasons, 
but it puts that village to shame. 


Dr. Samesh: What sort of work did they have 
you doing? 


SCP-1156: Pulling coaches, giving rides, 
serving drinks, magic shows... all the most 
embarrassing things you can imagine. 
Sometimes they'd get a crowd together and 
bring in one of the ladies after she'd had too 
much tiddlywink, and they'd want me to betray 
me marital vows with 'er! Right in front of 'em 
all gawking and laughing. Now I'm nota 
church-going 'orse, milord, but even | know a 
sin when | see one! 


Dr. Samesh: Do you know where your family 
is now? 


SCP-1156: Well, we always lived at [DATA 
EXPUNGED}], Whitechapel, but they've 
probably been evicted by now. Amy'll 'ave sent 
the kids to live with ‘er sister in Shepherd's 
Bush. She's a good soul, but | just can't stand 
the way she puts on airs ever since she 


married that donkey. They're just a queer sort, 
know what | mean? 


Dr. Samesh: | see. That will be all for today. 


SCP-1156: Wait. Could you send 'em a letter 
for me? | 'aven't 'eard from 'em since those 
‘Ampton Wicks got their 'ands on me. It's right 
in the corner by me trough. 


Dr. Samesh: We'll consider it. 


Afterword: Upon investigating the address provided by 
SCP-1156, the Foundation found a currently uninhabited 
two-bedroom apartment. The building manager stated 
that the previous residents had been evicted six months 
prior and could not vouch for their current whereabouts, 
and refused to discuss them in any detail, stating that 
they had been "nothing but trouble" during their entire 
stay.

SCP-1157: Bifurcating Man 


Item #: SCP-1157 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-1157 are 
to be kept in separate 3m x 2m x 3m quarters connected to a secure 
common area in Sector-07. Curfew is to be enforced at 11pm EST 
every evening until 6am the following morning. Security must consist 
of 12 armed guards trained in crowd suppression. SCP-1157-1 is to 
be kept in isolated quarters not connected to the main containment 
area. 


All staff working directly with any instance of SCP-1157 are to 
maintain the highest level of information security. No mention is to 
be made of Foundation staff names, project information, or 
containment procedures within the SCP-1157 containment area. 
Verbal communication with SCP-1157 is to be kept to an absolute 
minimum unless authorized by Dr. Torres. No clothing or equipment 
used when interacting with SCP-1157 can contain any identifying 
information. Personnel, including members of MTF Gamma-7, are 
instructed to carry only digitally encrypted forms of identification 
when involved in containment or study of SCP-1157. 


Mobile Task Force Gamma-7 "Pied Pipers" has been formed to 
track down and detain any un-contained instances of SCP-1157. 
Basic information, photographs, fingerprints and DNA samples from 
SCP-1157 have been distributed to major law enforcement 
organizations. Coordination with local government and other MTF 
units will be approved on a case by case basis. Lethal force has 
been authorized as a last resort. 


During a bifurcation event, SCP-1157 personnel are to initiate 
Protocol-G7 before wake up call. 


Description: SCP-1157 is a Caucasian male with brown hair and 


blue eyes. The subject's anomalous nature was first discovered 
when an instance of SCP-1157, designated SCP-1157-1, 
surrendered to the local police in , AZ, claiming to be a member 
of a terrorist cell. When a bifurcation event occurred while SCP-1157 
was in police custody the subject was brought to the attention of the 
Foundation and transferred to Sector-07 for containment and study. 


At intervals of approximately 4 weeks all instances of SCP-1157 will 
undergo a simultaneous bifurcation event at 3:08AM EST. While 
SCP-1157 sleeps each subject will split into two identical instances. 
The event is accompanied by a burst of light and energy which 
disables any recording devices. Any clothing or other items worn by 
SCP-1157 will be deposited on the bed underneath the subjects. 


Protocol-G7 is to be enacted immediately after every bifurcation 
event. The containment area is to be flooded with a gaseous 
sedative. A security team equipped with gas masks must enter the 
containment quarters and remove one of each resulting subject 
pairs for euthanasia, study and disposal. 


SCP-1157 displays a limited form of shared consciousness. While 
each instance exhibits their own personality and can make individual 
choices they also experience the surface thoughts and impulses of 
all other instances. 


Based on subject interviews, at the time of SCP-1157's initial 
detention at least 5 bifurcation events had already occurred. During 
containment there have been 3 observed events. To the best 
estimation the current status of SCP-1157 is as follows: 


¢ 32 instances contained. 

¢ 34 instances confirmed deceased. 

¢ 45 instances euthanized during containment. 
* 86 instances unaccounted for. 


Addendum 1: 
SCP-1157-1 Interview 


Interviewed: SCP-1157-1/1 


Interviewer: Dr. Torres 


Foreword: Following initial containment, the 2 
instances of SCP-1157-1 were separated and 
individually questioned. 


<Begin Log, 06/18/20 - 3:45PM EST> 


Dr. Torres: Can you explain the nature of your 
condition, please. 


SCP-1157-1: | go to sleep, and when | wake 
up there's one more of me. 


Dr. Torres: And this has happened before? 


SCP-1157-1: A few times. Last week makes 
five. There's thirty-two of me now...No...1 will 
not... 


Dr. Torres: Is something wrong? 


SCP-1157-1: Heh. They can hear us, you 
know, the rest. <Subject smiles> They're not 
happy with me. 


Dr. Torres: You can hear them all? 


SCP-1157-1: Yes. A bunch of scared bullies 
shouting in my ear. | saw what they did. | saw 
what | was becoming...No...Not me. You. | 
made a choice! <Subject shuts eyes, breathes 
deeply> I'm sorry. There's a lot of them now. 
It's overwhelming sometimes. 


Dr. Torres: | can imagine. Would you like 
some time alone? 


SCP-1157-1: <Subject laughs> 


Dr. Torres: Oh. Right. My apologies. 


<End Log> 


Closing Statement: Despite being ina 
separate sound proof interview room, 
SCP-1157-1/2 was able to repeat the 
conversation verbatim. 


Addendum 2: Incident Reports 
Report 1157/1 


Agent Thomas - Mobile Task Force 
Gamma-7 Leader 

06/21/20 

Utilizing intelligence gathered from 
SCP-1157-1 interviews, MTF Gamma-7 
successfully located and detained 3 more 
instances of SCP-1157 before they could go 
into hiding. However, operations for the next 
several weeks turned up only empty 
apartments and dead ends. SCP-1157-1's 
usefulness has diminished rapidly as other 
instances are now aware of his cooperation 
and are providing deceptive intelligence.
