I'll be the first to admit the concept doesn't seem even a 
bit plausible. After all, it's a guy you've known for years, 
done shows with him and everything. But think about it. 
How much can you really recall about working with him? 
It's all sort of a blur. Rehearsal, the gig, and the in- 
between can be hard to remember. That's not an artifact 
of our chosen profession, mate. It's the Humbug doing its 
job. 


The tapes didn't lie. | don't know how that stuff got on the 
master recording, since it basically gave it all away. 
There really was a car crash in '66, probably the most 
anxious day | can remember. We were in a panic, 
thought the band was about to go up in smoke. New as 
we were, none of us knew about Humbug. Lenny 
introduced us about a week after the funeral, and 
showed us the model. 


Took an awful long time to get used to, that did. 
Rehearsing and playing with a cardboard cutout, with 
nobody seeing it but you. Every time someone 
complimented the take, it was our instruction to smile 
and nod. Christ, if rehearsing was bad, playing the first 
gig was a nightmare. When it fell over in the middle of 
the stage, thought we were all washed up. Oh, we of little 
faith. Didn't change a thing. 


If you want to know the best place to look, Tim's the one 
to ask. Was the first Humbug dealer | dealt with, still one 
of the best. Going to him first will save you from so many 
rubbish dealers. Mention me and he might give a little bit 
of a discount, if you aren't cocky about it. Nothing he 
hates more than cockiness, so watch your tongue. 


One last thing. Don't try and treat the Humbug like your 
old bandmate. It doesn't know any more than you do. 


That might've been what triggered the end, or at least 
made it more inevitable. 


Good luck, mate!

SCP-1902: Amnesiac Deity of the Wastes 


Item #: SCP-1902 
Object Class: Euclid-numen 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1902 is kept in its original 
location in Site 23's basement level. A fire-resistant concrete 
containment chamber 3m x 3m in interior size and 1 meter in 
thickness has been constructed to contain SCP-1902 on-site. The 
chamber has been constructed to allow for two-way audio and visual 
communication with SCP-1902. Should containment of SCP-1902 at 
an alternative location be required, full blueprints and materials lists 
are available at request from Dr. Hall. 


Items under 2kg in mass, flammable materials, and potential 
sources of ignition must be kept away from SCP-1902 except during 
scheduled testing. SCP-1902 must be extinguished immediately 
following tests that involve allowing SCP-1902 to ignite. 


No less than one hour of audio recordings are to be prepared and 
played daily to SCP-1902. The recordings must consist primarily of 
speech in which the speaker praises or argues in favor of values 
including moderation, weight loss, humility, and pacifism. Personnel 
assigned to this task are to be provided access to the entirety of Site 
23's declassified audio and video collection for this task. No 
individual clip of sound may be replayed more than once every three 
days or more than five times in total. 


Experiments that deviate from the above protocols require the 
assent and supervision of Dr. Hall. Tests that involve the addition of 
unusual material to recordings played to SCP-1902 may not take 
place more than once every three days. 


Description: SCP-1902 is a sapient, mobile pile of waste of variable 
disposition approximately 110 kilograms in mass. SCP-1902 is 
composed primarily of ash and cinders, with significant quantities of 


medical waste, paper products, and various waste products from 
anomalous items contained at Site 23, along with one item that 
exhibited anomalous properties prior to incineration (See 
Addendum 1902-1 and Addendum 1902-2). SCP-1902 possesses 
well-developed senses of hearing and touch, is incapable of sight, 
and does not appear to possess an olfaction analogue. 


SCP-1902 exhibits a great deal of control over its mass (capable of 
delivering approximately 40KN of force over short periods of time, or 
3.0KN of sustained force), with the apparent constraints that at least 
half of its component items must be in contact with the ground at 
any one time and that all items in its "body" must remain contiguous 
with each other. SCP-1902 is able to incorporate items less than 2kg 
in mass into its body via physical contact, so long as said items are 
at least partially (>30% of their surface) damaged by fire. Items 
separated from SCP-1902 cease to display anomalous properties, 
but may be reincorporated into SCP-1902's mass at a later time. 


SCP-1902 is capable of communication by shaping portions of its 
mass into rough approximations of characters in Japanese, although 
it is capable of understanding all languages tested thus far. It is 
roughly as intelligent as the average adult human, and exhibits the 
ability to learn, but cannot remember events more than one week in 
the past. It consistently reports the desire to incorporate additional 
material into its mass,! and the desire to be worshipped as a deity 
by ambulatory entities of any nature.2 However, SCP-1902 does not 
exhibit any consistent knowledge of or theories on its nature or 
identity, and exhibits no consistent personality, attitudes, or 
behaviors beyond those mentioned. 


SCP-1902 appears to be influenced almost exclusively by the 
content of speech conducted in its vicinity within the previous forty 
hours — while SCP-1902 is capable of learning new information (if 
not remembering its source), any speech to which it is exposed will 
have no observable impact on its behavior after forty hours. 
Additionally, SCP-1902 will habituate to speech that it is exposed to 
repeatedly — any specific stimulus’ impact on SCP-1902's behavior 
will decrease steadily with exposure, with no apparent change being 
present after ten exposures to the content of any given speech. 


Current containment protocols are designed to influence SCP-1902 


in a manner that limits its willingness to breach containment or 
increase its mass. Interviews confirm that SCP-1902 holds values 
contrary to its urges to expand in size. This appears to cause 
SCP-1902 significant psychological stress; however, SCP-1902 has 
yet to attempt to breach containment or harm personnel since 
enactment of current special containment procedures. 


Addendum 1902-1: SCP-1902 was recovered from Site 23's solid 
waste incinerator on February 15, 1966, when the contents of the 
incinerator spontaneously animated and destroyed both the 
incinerator and the two attending personnel. Temporary containment 
measures were enacted before SCP-1902 could cause additional 
casualties or harm to the facility. 


Addendum 1902-2: Original documentation of the anomalous item 
incorporated into SCP-1902: 


Item Description: An antique wooden idol of Ryukyuan 
origin (See attached image). The object continuously 
vibrates and shakes at varying intensity, despite lacking 
any detectable power source. 

Date of Recovery: February 10, 1966. 

Location of Recovery: An antiques shop in Naha, 
Okinawa, Japan 

Current Status: In Site 23's Non-SCP Containment Vault. 
Slated for incineration. 


Footnotes 

1. It has been noted that SCP-1902 will actively attempt to reach 
and spread flammable items and sources of ignition in order to 
facilitate this. 

2. SCP-1902 has responded in this manner to a variety of subjects, 
including humans, animals, small robots, and a cart.

SCP-1903: Jackie's Secret 


Item #: SCP-1903 
Object Class: Euclid (Previously Safe) 


Special Containment Procedures: Information regarding 
SCP-1903 is infohazardous and must be contained as such. 
Detailed information is restricted to personnel with Level 2-1903, 
3-1903, or 4-1903 status. SCP-1903 personnel are to remain on the 
premises of Site-45-B or Site-45-C unless either under an 
emergency or during the week of October 31st?. 


SCP-1903 personnel are expected to perform their duties as they 
did while under regular employment. Recruitment or reassignment of 
potential SCP-1903 personnel are to be handled by non-SCP-1903 
personnel. SCP-1903 personnel who do so will risk termination. New 
SCP-1903 personnel are to be given an uncensored copy of this 
document as a required reading. There must be at least fifteen 
personnel with SCP-1903 status2. 


SCP-1903 is to be contained on the 9th Floor of Site-45-C, in 
Secure Holding Cell 901. Secure Holding Cell 901 is to be equipped 
with a filtered ventilation system, and standard furnishings. 
Communication with SCP-1903 should be restricted to physical and 
psychological treatment only. Staff are to observe standard toxic 
material handling protocols, and wear appropriate hazard suits over 
their current clothing while handling SCP-1903. Bandages over 
SCP-1903's left eye should be replaced once every two days. 


Description: 
[+] REVISION-1 


(01/04/194 ) 


SCP-1903 is a human female (previously known as 
Jackie Barter). SCP-1903 is 1.62 meters tall, and wears 
novelty bunny ears. SCP-1903's hands and feet show 
abnormal pigmentation, and its left eye has been 
removed. The subject's epidermis is currently detaching 
in the facial region, and despite exposure of hypodermis 
and dermis, shows no sign of infection or blood loss, 
aside from several cuts around the left eye socket. 


The novelty bunny ears appear to be of normal 
composition; however, their removal appears to cause 
discomfort in the subject. These ears originate from 
SCP-1903's former place of employment, . Bunny 
ears, along with cat, fox, wolf, and rat ears, are an 
interchangeable piece of the uniform for female 
employees. Several novelty ears have been taken for 
testing. The sets have been placed in storage for further 
investigation. 


SCP-1903's left eye has been removed by what appears 
to have been a sharp object, presumably a stiletto-styled 
blade according to the size and shape of the wounds in 
the eye socket. This wound does not appear to be self- 
inflicted, and does not seem to be healing normally. 
SCP-1903 was found under the care of Nevada 
Emergency Hospital, who were originally treating 
SCP-1903 for its eye injuries, and later reported large 
parts of SCP-1903's epidermis above the jaw-line 
detaching after 92 hours of treatment. 


Notes taken by the N EH reported SCP-1903's eye 
socket containing traces of [REDACTED] and a mercury 
isotope, and the wounds appearing ritualistic in nature. 
The [REDACTED] has been significantly contaminated 
by the isotope, interfering with DNA tests. SCP-1903 
refuses to speak to Foundation personnel. Further 
investigation pending.

(02/25/194 ) 


SCP-1903 is a human female (previously known as 
Jackie Barter). SCP-1903 is 1.62 meters tall, and has 
bleeding, claw-like hands and feet. SCP-1903 wears 
novelty bunny ears, and has the appearance of wearing 
a paper maché-styled rabbit mask, which is composed of 
skin cells, a plastic-like material, blood, cotton fibers, and 
trace amounts of mercury. This 'mask' has grown over 
SCP-1903's entire face, but halts around the jaw-line. 
SCP-1903's left eye has been removed. 


SCP-1903's hands and feet produce blood contaminated 
with mercury though their pores. The mercury exposure 
is not lethal to SCP-1903, but has damaged its mental 
health significantly. SCP-1903's blood cell formation is 
higher than the average human, which is presumably 
how SCP-1903 is able to cope with the profuse blood 
loss. The reason why SCP-1903 does not experience 
further physical symptoms of mercury poisoning are 
unknown. 


SCP-1903's mask could be removed with a few minor 
lacerations where the affected area meets the subject's 
biological ears, but removal would either damage or 
remove all blood vessels, arteries, teeth, and nerve 
endings in the affected area. Removal would cause an 
extreme amount of pain in the subject, and the subject's 
probable death. 


The novelty bunny ears appear to be of normal 
composition; however, their removal appears to affect 
SCP-1903's hearing, and causes minor discomfort in the 
subject. These ears, which were originally paired with an 
accompanying mask resembling a white rabbit, 
originated from SCP-1903's former place of employment, 

: 's female uniform included a pair of 
novelty animal ears, and a white mask. Both parts would 
be paired so that the wearer would resemble either a cat, 
fox, rabbit, wolf, or rat. 


Several novelty ears, with their accompanying masks, 
have been taken for testing. None appear to share the 


effect of the set given to SCP-1903, and will remain in 
storage until further notice. SCP-1903's original mask 
has been found, but has not shown any anomalous 
properties. 


SCP-1903's left eye has been removed by what appears 
to be a stiletto-style blade according to the size and 
shape of the wounds in the eye socket. This wound does 
not appear to be self-inflicted, and is not healing 
normally. SCP-1903 was found under the care of 
Nevada Emergency Hospital, who were originally 
treating SCP-1903 for its eye injuries, reporting traces of 
[REDACTED], and trace amounts of a mercury isotope, 
and later reported large parts of SCP-1903's epidermis 
above the jaw-line ‘flaking’ off. 


Upon investigation of , SCP-1903's former 
employer, Mr. A Donnar, was asked for questioning 
(see Interview 1903-1). Mr. Donnar's information lead to 
the suspicion of A F  . Foundation investigators 
arrived at A F  's household to find that the suspect 
committed suicide approximately twelve hours prior to 
discovery. 


A F showed symptoms relating to SCP-1903, 
having several layers of skin above the jawline replaced 
by a biological mask. A F appeared to have cut his 
mask off with a switchblade and removed it by prying it 
off with the bathroom counter. The cause of death was 
massive trauma and major blood loss. Notably, A 

F's biological mask did not contain any traces of 
mercury. Additional parties showing symptoms similar to 
SCP-1903 are under investigation.

REVISION-4 

(03/09/194 ) 

SCP-1903 is a human female (previously known as Jackie Barter). 
SCP-1903 is 1.62 meters tall, has dark, claw like hands and feet, 
wears novelty bunny ears, and has the appearance of wearing a 
paper maché-styled rabbit mask. SCP-1903 produces mercury and 
blood through the pores of its hands and feet, and its 'mask' is 
composed of skin cells, a plastic-like material, blood, cotton fibers, 
and trace amounts of mercury. SCP-1903's left eye has been 
removed. 


Information regarding SCP-1903 is a conditional info-hazard. When 
a subject learns of A F 'sname, A F's specific actions 
towards SCP-1903, and the nature of SCP-1903's commissions for 
A F prior to containment, that subject will experience 
symptoms similar to those affecting SCP-1903 while under 
containment.
