Addendum 1: 

A similar tire swing has been identified in ten of the twenty-six 
photographs contained in SCP-1890. Close examination of these 
images (particularly the distinctive rubber tread, which corresponds 
to models from the 1920s) as well as the results of Test 3 strongly 
suggest that the object in containment and the object in the 
photographs are one and the same. 


Addendum 2: 
See SCP-1928.

SCP-1897: Human Domestication Society 


Item #: SCP-1897 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Personnel stationed in the rural 
southwestern portions of the United States are to annually 
investigate any areas that meet the required criteria. If any 
manifestations of SCP-1897 appear, the area must be blocked off 
under the pretense of road work until the manifestation has been 
neutralized. Lethal force is authorized for use upon SCP-1897 to 
drive the creatures away. Survivors and witnesses are to be 
detained and interrogated, then given Class-B amnestics upon 
release. Instances of SCP-1897-1 are to be incapacitated from 
concealed positions before any attack is mounted on SCP-1897. 
Recovered instances of SCP-1897-1 are to be given Class-A 
amnestics before they are relocated to Site-06, until a means of 
rehabilitating them is discovered. 


Embedded agents in all major internet service providers are to 
prevent any civilian access to SCP-1897-2. Any information taken 
from the website is to be archived in Storage Unit-4. If messages 
suspected to originate from SCP-1897-2 are received, site 
command is to be notified immediately. 


Description: SCP-1897 are humanoids that manifest outside of 
rural areas in the states of New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, Oklahoma, 
Utah, and Nevada. Pictures taken of SCP-1897 and testimony from 
witnesses place these creatures at over five meters tall. According 
to witnesses, and confirmed in videos found on SCP-1897-2, these 
entities show great physical strength and speed, covering 
approximately 200 meters in under 9 seconds and lifting upwards of 
500 kilograms in a single hand. When an instance of SCP-1897 
would be killed or otherwise incapacitated, that entity immediately 
disappears and drops anything it was carrying. The creatures 
reportedly speak in standard American English with vernacular and 


accents appropriate to the region, but have not replied to humans 
attempting to communicate with them. 


A person will only encounter a manifestation of SCP-1897 if they 
meet these criteria : 


¢ They are either alone or in a group of no more than two 
people. ! 

¢ None of them appear to be carrying a weapon (such as a gun, 
a knife, or pepper spray). 

¢ There are no major population centers within 25~ kilometers 
of their location. 


Witnesses of a manifestation report seeing the creatures materialize 
as though they were emerging from an unseen vehicle. Nearly all 
reported instances of SCP-1897 were described as wearing dark 
green uniforms, and either carrying long, thin poles with a large net 
on the end, or at least one 1.3 x 1.9 meter steel cage. The creatures 
used these devices to capture persons and put them in the cages, in 
most cases taking care not to cause physical harm to the victim. 
Upon the containment of most or all persons, both SCP-1897, the 
cages, and victims vanish in a manner similar to its original 
manifestation. All attempts to trace either SCP-1897 or its victims at 
this point have failed. After abduction, the victims become instances 
of SCP-1897-1. 


Instances of SCP-1897-1 may reappear at any time after 
approximately one month, though rarely in the same location as 
where they were abducted. These reemergences have been 
recorded to happen anywhere from 2 to roughly 2,000 kilometers 
from the site of their original abduction. They are always 
accompanied by at least one instance of SCP-1897, and rarely stray 
from the entity's side. SCP-1897-1 instances are often found to be 
castrated or otherwise sterile, and universally show decreased 
mental capabilities - about the same cognitive intelligence as the 
average Canis lupus familiaris - and heightened aggression. 
SCP-1897-1 will actively resist retrieval and attack any persons who 
show hostility towards SCP-1897. If separated, SCP-1897-1 will 
attempt to return to the location where it recently emerged from, 
regardless of distance or obstacles. The compulsions and behavior 
can be treated with amnestics, but the reduced intelligence is a 


result of a partial lobotomy of the prefrontal cortex and selective 
damage to Broca's area, neither of which can be repaired by non- 
anomalous means at this time. Upon reaching the point of 
manifestation, they are taken by an instance of SCP-1897 within two 
minutes of arrival. 


SCP-1897-2 is a website located at the IP address .. . oratthe 
web address "www.hdsociety.gov2." A banner across the front page 
declares the website as belonging to the "Human Domestication 
Society" in standard American English. Its menu at the top has 
pages for "Adoption", "Training", "Breeding Programs", 
"Volunteering", and "About" among others. 


To date, all efforts to initiate peaceful contact with SCP-1897, adopt 
an instance of SCP-1897-1 or exchange emails through 
SCP-1897-2 have met with no success. See Addendum-2

From the Adoption page 

We offer a large variety of humans for adoption every 
single day. While we cannot guarantee a human you see 
listed on our website will be available when you reach 
the shelter, our inventory is updated every half-hour. We 
cannot answer any questions about specific humans 
pictured on our website over the phone or email. 


All humans have their vaccinations, sterilizations, 
microchips, and whether or not they have already been 
given a leucotomy included in the adoption fee. 


Can't find a human that suits you here? Check our 
listings of licensed human breeders in your area! 

[The page shows an instance of SCP-1897-15 being held 
up by an instance of SCP-1897. SCP-1897 is smiling; 
SCP-1897-1 shows no expression.] 


From the Volunteering page 

As humans are in high demand, we're always looking for 

students and volunteers to join our team! Currently, over 
volunteers are involved in our programs. It's both fun 

and rewarding. 


Human Walker/Behavior Trainer: Some of our humans 
need time outside their kennels, especially the ones that 
are house trained. The scheduling is flexible, and the 
humans will love it! 


Human Care Specialist: Volunteers help desensitize 


and train humans before they can be put up for adoption. 


Working With Human Cubs: As human cubs are 
always in high demand, they sometimes require extra- 
special care before they can be put up for adoption. 


Specialized Training: For seeing-eye humans, hearing 
humans for the deaf, seizure response humans, and 
other such special cases. Learn how you can help 
humans help us. 

Note for applicants : Please submit a short essay on why 
you'd like to volunteer at the HDS and what you hope to 
gain from the experience.

Addendum-2: On March _, 20 , Site-06 received the following 
message from hdsociety@ : 


Subject : Enough 
Received at 10:13 AM 


We will not listen to your lies any longer. It was you who 
came after us first. You who tore holes in our world and 


tried to annihilate us. You who took our olive branch of 
peace and fashioned it into a spear. You who nearly 
drove us to extinction. And now that we have the 
advantage, you attempt to patronize us with your 
crocodile tears. We will not be deceived again. 


But unlike you, we are not monsters. We have much 
anger towards your kind, but we are willing to forgive. 
But first, you must be willing to change. Slavery and 
genocide are immoral, and not even you deserve such a 
fate. It is our belief, then, that this alternative is a fair 
compromise between guaranteeing our safety and 
allowing your kind to live. This is our mercy to you. 


Look at the humans who have gone through our 
program. See how much happier they are? Your 
correspondence tells us that you have seen them. Seen 
how much they love us. Why, then, do you continue to 
be defiant? 


Someday you will thank us. Please try to understand that 
this is for your own good.

SCP-1898: Non-Euclidian Playsets 


Item #: SCP-1898 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: While in storage all instances of 
SCP-1898 are to be kept deconstructed and kept in their respective 
boxes. All instances of SCP-1898 are to be stored in Containment 
Room-1898 located on Site- . Testing on any set/s of SCP-1898-A 
and SCP-1898-B requires permission from two Level 3 Personnel. 
Testing on a set of SCP-1898-C requires permission from two Level 
3 Personnel and one Level 4 Personnel. MTF PI-31 (aka. 'Mobius 
Strips') are to be contacted if an instance of SCP-1898 is 
discovered. 


Description: All instances of SCP-1898 are construction sets that 
can be used to make shapes that do not follow Euclidean geometry. 
The contents of each set vary in materials and shapes. The sets 
come in three sizes: Small, Medium and Large (SCP-1898-A, 
SCP-1898-B and SCP-1898-C respectively). The Small and Medium 
sets are constructed like puzzles and the only difference is in the 
size, with Small sets able to build shapes up to 30cm high and 
Medium sets able to build shapes up to 10m high. The Large sets 
are bigger than the Small and Medium sets and are used to 
construct buildings. All sets can be disassembled and reassembled 
into a completely different shape. The packaging of each instance of 
SCP-1898 varies, but all of them are named 'Non Euclidean 
Dimensions’ by the ' Company’, which does not exist in any 
registry, and so far has not been located. 


The mechanism of how each set of SCP-1898 works is unknown. 
The pieces themselves are made from ordinary materials such as 
wood and metal, and no instructions are provided with any of the 
sets. During construction, the subject will put together and take apart 
various pieces; if asked about what they are trying to make, they will 
say that they are unsure. Given enough time, the subjects eventually 


produce a sculpture that should be impossible to make. The 
subjects have always insisted that they are unsure of how they 
managed to make it. Viewers watching the subject did not observe 
any abnormal behaviour, despite the anomalous result. Other than 
the shapes being impossible, there is nothing else anomalous with 
them and no abnormal effects have been witnessed in subjects 
either during or after tests. 


The construction of the Large sets differs slightly in the sense that 
large groups of people and often construction machinery are 
needed. However, there is always one subject that decides where all 
the pieces go. Houses and buildings made from Large sets will have 
floors and furniture along the walls, looping corridors and infinite 
stairs. Despite gravity, people inside will be able to walk on whatever 
is classed as the floor and perform tasks normally.
