SCP-3689: The Seat of Criticism 


SCP-3689. Photographed by Agent Dashing after the retrieval of a 
subject. 


Item #: SCP-3689 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Due to the rarity of SCP-3689, 

containment efforts are to be focused on ensuring the confidentiality 
of SCP-3689. Research efforts into SCP-3689 are also not advised, 
due to the high amount of resources required in order for consistent 
testing to be remotely feasible. 


Foundation personnel is to monitor all functioning trains of the MTR 
Corporation Ltd. in order to detect an SCP-3689 activation event. In 
the event that a case has been confirmed, a small cleanup crew is to 
be notified to retrieve the affected individual to Site-202 for 
questioning. The affected individual is to be administered a Class-B 
amnestic afterward and released. 


Foundation agents have been embedded in the MTR Corporation 
Ltd. in order to facilitate the removal of SCP-3689 from the trains of 
the aforementioned public transport network or, failing that, the 
purchase of new trains of different models. 


Any discovery of anomalous effects similar to SCP-3689 outside of 
Hong Kong is to be immediately notified to the current Director of 
Site-202 (Currently Director Yeung). 


Description: SCP-3689 is a standard Priority Seat! on any standard 
train of the MTR Corporation Limited, regardless of model. Other 
than the potential manifestation of SCP-3689, the trains have no 
anomalous effects. Trains of the same model employed by other 
metro service providers possess no anomalous effects. 


SCP-3689's anomalous effect may occur when an individual in their 


late teens to early 30s sits on SCP-36892, hereby referred to as "the 
subject". SCP-3689's anomalous effect occurs after 10 seconds of 
the subject sitting, manifesting once the subject has blinked. The 
subjects described themselves as having been transported to a 
giant stage, facing a crowd of large size in subsequent interviews. 
They are then submitted to a “struggle session”S, hereby designated 
SCP-3689-1. 


+ Show characteristics of SCP-3689-1 


While SCP-3689-1 has an unknown number of 
variations, all interviews with affected subjects have 
showed that the event has several characteristics, such 


as:

+ Show Event Log for POI 3689-11 


The following event log was documented from the 
hypnosis of the 11th subject, designated POI 3689-11, 
and with the use of Procedure 3969-046 


Researcher in charge: Researcher Norman. 
Date: / /10 
Time of event: 32:11:38 


00:00:00: Subject is teleported to SCP-3689-1. 
Subject is on a stage and is facing a crowd of 
approx. 10000 people. 


00:00:02: Crowd starts to chant “Down with 
[NAME REDACTED)’ in Mandarin. 


00:05:12: A person on the stage, holding a 
mic, starts to yell at POI 3689-11, stating that 
she is “human scum”, and kicks her. 


00:05:13: Crowd cheers. 


00:05:16: Other people on stage begin kicking 
POI 3689-11. 


00:07:09: Kicking stops. 


00:07:10: POI 3689-11 is accused of 
“committing the serious atrocity of misusing 
the Priority Seat” by several people on stage. 


00:07:13: POI 3689-11 attempts to defend 
herself by stating that she had been 
experiencing Menstrual Cramps, and was 
feeling uncomfortable. 


humans under the age of 25. Furthermore, SCP-478 most often 
seeks out individuals who have not yet shed all their deciduous 
teeth. 


SCP-478 will enter a victim’s mouth while they sleep, and attach 
onto the soft palate in the upper nasal cavity, usually blocking one 
nostril. The body’s mucus production will increase, leading the 
victim, upon waking, to believe that they have developed a minor 
cold. From there, the victim’s palate will begin to generate teeth in 
addition to the gingiva's (gums) normal replacement of teeth. This 
growth process will begin at a rate several times faster than normal 
tooth growth, and quickly increases in speed and severity. 


The palate’s generation of new teeth will continue until the entire 
palate has been covered, proceeding down the victim’s throat and 
esophagus. Over the course of two to four days these teeth will 
completely saturate the stomach lining, then begin growing within 
the lungs and the subcutaneous layer of skin. Skeletal calcium will 
be leached away to provide material for the new teeth, in an 
increasingly painful process. This growth will continue until the entire 
digestive tract has been saturated by dental tissue, after which 
SCP-478 will exit the victim's mouth and flee. 


Teeth within the stomach are exposed to the body's normal acid 
production, while teeth within the skin will group closely together, 
forming rigid masses of dental material underneath the surface. All 
teeth are normal beyond placement, containing a root, nerve and 
enamel. 


It is unknown exactly how or why SCP-478 cause this explosive new 
growth of dental tissue. 


Addendum: Historical Note 

Documentation recovered from Foundation raids on the dental 
laboratory of Dr. Rasmin Yelkov implicate SCP-478 as a primary 
source of the phenomenon observed in SCP-1994. Investigation into 
Dr. Yelkov's ability to communicate and capture instances of 
SCP-478 is ongoing.

Priority Seat”. 


32:11:38: POI 3689-11 is transported back to 
SCP-3689. 


SCP-3689-1, captured by hypnosis of POI 3689-20 and usage of 
Procedure 3969-04: 


SCP-3689-1 lasts between 20 to 45 hours, determined by how early 
the subject complies with the crowd in SCP-3689-1. However, it is 
hypothesized that the struggle session may potentially last for an 
indefinite amount of time, assuming that the subject does not comply 
while in SCP-3689-1. 


SCP-3689-1 has been noted to end abruptly in all cases, and the 
subject is transported back to the train. CCTV footage shows no 
change in the subject's location. All wounds sustained by the subject 
within SCP-3689 are healed. 


This shows that SCP-3689 either possess some degree of temporal 
anomalous effect or simply causes hallucinations. Whatever it is, we 
don't have any proper way of finding out. 

-Dr. Norman 


As of this writing, there have been 64 documented instances since 
documentation began on 19/12/2009, or about 1 in 4’430’000 
passengers. 


SCP-3689's anomalous effect was discovered on 22/11/2009 when 
Foundation webcrawlers detected a mention of a "criticism seat" on 
the website forum. .com, where an individual described his 
experience of SCP-3689. A task force from Site-202 was sent to 
Hong Kong to investigate, which coincided with the second case of 
SCP-3689. Both individuals were interviewed and subsequently 
amnesticized. 


Addendum 3689.1 


While no conclusive pattern has been drawn from SCP-3689's 
criteria for activation’, due to the extremely small sample size, 


individuals with certain characteristics have a disproportionally 
higher probability of activating SCP-3689's anomalous effects. 


Characteristics include: 


* One or more recovering injuries that are not visible, but 
directly affects the individual's ability to stand for extended 
periods of time. 

Pregnancy between 1 to 4 months. Note that all individuals 
were aware of their pregnancy at the time. 

¢ Menstrual Cramps 

¢ Lack of sleep 

¢ Exhaustion 


As much as | would like to properly test this out, we don't have the 
resources or time to test it. Whether 3689 truly is a sentient entity 
that has an odd definition of "people in need" and jumps to 
conclusions way too quickly may remain a mystery. 

-Dr. Cheng 


Addendum 3689.2 


On / /17, the 54th subject(designated POI 3689-54) was retrieved 
with a flyer, which was thrown towards her by the crowd within 
SCP-3689-1. POI 3689-54 was 3 months pregnant at the time and 
was suffering from Arthritis, a disease that affects joint movement. 


+ Show contents of flyer 


The following was translated from Simplified 
Chinese to English by Dr. Cheng. 


[NAME REDACTED] must be condemned! 
[NAME REDACTED] has disgraced our mighty 
Priority Seat by sitting without meeting any of 
the criteria! Is she old? No! Is she pregnant? 
No! Is she carrying a baby? No! Is she injured? 
No! 


[NAME REDACTED] has clearly shown a lack 


of respect for the elderly, pregnant women, or 
the disabled! We must castigate her for a 
thousand years! 


[NAME REDACTED] not only lacked any 
respect for the aforementioned groups, she is 
also a lying (bad woman)! She claimed that 
she was pregnant and that she was suffering 
from "Arthritis"! Lies! We can’t possibly be 
wrong! Is her belly swelled? Does she have 
(bandages/plasters) on her legs? No! She was 
clearly lying and deserves to have her lying 
mouth fed to pigs and dogs! 


People! [NAME REDACTED] has constantly 
lied and has shown serious selfishness! She 
will be adjudged by the masses for the next 
millennia! Her unwillingness to repent for her 
numerous lies have only caused her to be 
sunken into damnation for generations to 
come! This lying bitch is not pregnant, nor 
injured! We must criticize her until she (starts 
to smell)! 


Protect the Priority Seat with our blood and 
strength! Long live the Priority Seat! May the 
Priority Seat punish those who are unworthy of 
sitting! 


Down with [NAME REDACTED]! 


POI 3689-54 was subsequently amnesticized without incident. The 
flyer was determined to be non-anomalous after testing and was 
placed in Locker 305 of Site-202.
