Closing Statement: Due to possible 
connections between Jude Kriyot and the 
group of interest AWCY, Mr. Kriyot was 
subject to further interrogation, which failed to 
garner any useful intelligence. Mr. Kriyot was 
administered a prophylactic Class-B amnestic 
to suppress any knowledge of SCP-1168, 
SCP-1800, and AWCY. It was unknown 
whether Mr. Kriyot had knowledge of any 
further Groups of Interest at the time. 
Jude Kriyot is now identified as Pol-6870; 
current evidence suggests Mr. Kriyot was the 
creator of the object.

SCP-1169: Lamarck's Giraffe 


Item #: SCP-1169 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1169 is kept in an air-tight 
steel protective container with shaped foam rubber padding to 
prevent damage. SCP-1169 is to be treated as biohazardous 
material. All subjects contaminated by SCP-1169-1 and all resulting 
offspring are to be terminated and incinerated as biologically 
hazardous material after useful observations have been exhausted. 
Assignment preference will be given to staff who are irreversibly 
infertile. 


Description: SCP-1169 is a large glass storage vessel containing a 
fetal (estimated to be in the 13th month of gestation at time of 
preservation) Giraffa camelopardalis preserved in formaldehyde. 
Container includes a glass lid and rubber gasket held closed by a 
lever mechanism typical of Mason jars, although no brand markings 
are present. Gasket and metal are both heavily age deteriorated. 
The preserved specimen shows no genetic abnormalities but 
features several internal and external deformities; most notably a 
much shorter neck than is typical for Giraffa camelopardalis at the 
presumed stage of development. 


The preserving fluid (designated SCP-1169-1) includes several 
unusual impurities, including traces of platinum, tungsten, human 
insulin, and three unidentifiable organic compounds (see Document 
1169-1-Lambda for spectrographic analysis). Despite otherwise 
possessing the same evaporation and freezing properties of 
standard formaldehyde, SCP-1169-1 evaporates at a constant rate 
until it reaches a uniform concentration of 250 PPM in the 
surrounding atmosphere. This process is unaffected by ambient 
temperature or pressure within limits testable without damage to 
SCP-1169. The volume of SCP-1169-1 does not decrease due to 
evaporation or samples removed. 


If inhaled or allowed to remain in prolonged contact, SCP-1169-1 will 
quickly be absorbed into the circulatory system of all plants and 
animals and will accumulate in the reproductive organs (testes, 
ovaries, fruiting buds, etc.). SCP-1169-1 does not dissipate from 
organic systems naturally and can not be artificially removed short of 
surgical excision of the reproductive organs. Anomalous effects will 
be demonstrated in all subsequent offspring, with severity 
determined by concentration of SCP-1169-1 present in the parent's 
tissues during gestation. 


Stage 1, 15-75 PPM: Features of the contaminated parent will be 
overwhelmingly dominant in the offspring, despite genetic 
differences typical of parent and child. Offspring have a high 
probability (80% of all observed cases) of being the same gender as 
the contaminated parent, with a similar chance of developing any 
congenital defects observed in the parent. Mature offspring strongly 
resemble the parent at a similar age. 


Stage 2, 75-120 PPM: Offspring will be physically identical to the 
contaminated parent at any given stage of development. All 
congenital defects and phenotype expressions are exactly 
reproduced to beyond testable limits. Note, parent and child are not 
genetically identical, instead showing the expected distribution of 
genes from both parents; but genes from the unexposed parent are 
not expressed. This can lead to cases where the offspring is 
genetically female, but physically and functionally male or vice 
versa. 


Stage 3, 120-180 PPM: As in Stage 2, with additional physical 
anomalies developing in the offspring over time. Offspring will 
spontaneously develop any and all physical changes that the parent 
experienced at a comparable stage of development. Offspring will 
experience unprovoked and untreatable necrosis to match an 
amputated limb, spontaneous ruptures of the skin and flesh which 
when healed exactly match parental scar patterns, and atypical 
shifts in skin pigmentation resulting in reproduction of tattoos. 
Offspring will express the same fingerprints, retinal patterns, and 
other biometric indicators as the parent. Any kinesthetically learned 
skills will also be transferred from parent to child, but more 
cerebrally developed proficiencies are not. |.E. Subject D-1169-48 


was a skilled concert pianist, her offspring D-1169-48-b was able to 
proficiently perform "Moonlight Sonata" after being provided with a 
recording, but was not able to interpret the associated sheet music 
even under extreme duress. Skills learned by the parent after 
conception are not duplicated.

SCP-1170: Romantic Ghost 


Item #: SCP-1170 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Due to the incorporeal nature of 
SCP-1170-2, it cannot be moved to a safe distance from local 
residents. As such, Area-1170 has been built around SCP-1170-1. 
The entire apartment complex has been blocked off; however, due 
to its rather public location, Foundation personnel are required to 
maintain disguises when in view. 


Shift changes for guards stationed at Area-1170 occur every three 
hours. No personnel are to enter SCP-1170-1 except in special 
cases under any circumstances. 


Description: SCP-1170-1 is a windowless bedroom located on the 
second floor of Apartment #21 in the Apartment Complex, 

, British Columbia. The room measures 8.5m x 11m x 3.2m, with 
hardwood floors and concrete walls. It appears empty on all security 
footage. The room cannot be illuminated by visible light (excluding 
the built-in light fixture), as SCP-1170-1 seems to absorb all visible 
wavelengths. The interior of the room appears pitch-black when 
viewed without specialized equipment. Light outside the visible 
spectrum appears to encounter no resistance from SCP-1170-1, 
allowing use of infrared and night vision cameras. All light with 
wavelength shorter than 1 m is in some way affected by 
SCP-1170-1. It is not known whether radio waves are also 
manipulated. Audio recording devices have been shown to be at 
least partially functional. 


SCP-1170-1's active anomalous properties are triggered upon 
activation of the room's built-in light fixture, located approximately 
0.75 m from the door on the west-facing wall. Subjects present when 
this light is on claim that the bedside lamps in the room activate, 
although security footage shows no change in luminescence and 


infrared cameras do not detect any heat source other than the 
subjects. In addition, subjects describe the room as having a bed, a 
fireplace, two bedside tables, , and two lamps, none of which 
appear in security footage. It is theorized that this effect may be 
purely psychic in nature. 


Approximately one minute and thirty seconds after the light fixture is 
activated, an entity (hereafter SCP-1170-2) appears on night vision 
camera (though only barely, as wavelengths emitted are only up to 
10-6 meters in length). SCP-1170-2's anatomy is apparently 
humanoid except for its inverted joints. Footage taken shows no 
interaction between the subject and SCP-1170-2. At some point 
between 2 (two) seconds and 40 (forty) minutes after SCP-1170-2 
appears, both it and any foreign objects in the room (including 
cameras, external lights, and test subjects) vanish. SCP-1170-2 is 
visible only to human subjects who have been present in 
SCP-1170-1 for the entirety of the time between the most recent 
activation of the light fixture and the subsequent appearance of 
SCP-1170-2. Exiting the room is not recommended while 
SCP-1170-2 is present in the room, as [DATA EXPUNGED]. It is 
unclear whether or not SCP-1170-2 physically exists or is simply a 
near-infrared illusion produced by SCP-1170-1. 


Subjects inside SCP-1170-1 are seen to converse with a partner 
while SCP-1170-2 is present; the content of these conversations 
suggests that they are in fact speaking with SCP-1170-2. 
Furthermore, the sudden emotional changes experienced by 
subjects conversing with the entity suggest that SCP-1170-2 may 
have a memetic effect. SCP-1170-2 has avoided all directed 
questions about any subjects unrelated to love and romantic 
partnership. 


Objects occasionally appear at random in SCP-1170-1. Most are 
mundane and have no apparent anomalous properties. However, 
there have been several instances of blood appearing on the walls, 
roof, and floor of the room: genetic testing revealed it to belong to 
Class-D personnel who had disappeared along with SCP-1170-2. 
Fecal matter, semen, saliva, and [DATA EXPUNGED] have also 
been recovered, all consistent with previous test subjects. 


Transcript of Audio Log 1170-R-32 


Foreword: The audio receivers during this test were put 
on a frequency of [REDACTED], as well as being placed 
in new locations around SCP-1170-1 in hopes of 
receiving more intelligible audio. Log begins immediately 
after the manifestation of SCP-1170-2. D-20192 is the 
sole test subject. 


Begin Log. 


D-20192: Oh my god, what the fuck is that. What the 
fuck is that. 


SCP-1170-2: Please don't be scared. | only came here 
for you. 


D-20192: Wait, what? For me? I'm a criminal. What do 
you want with me? 


SCP-1170-2: | want to love you. We can be together. 


D-20192: Uh, are you even a chick? I'm not into that 
other thing... 


SCP-1170-2: | am not sure what a chick is, but | can 
assure you that our love will fit well. 


D-20192: Dude, this is fucking weird. Oh, (pause), god, 
I... | just... 


SCP-1170-2: We can do it. This is where we can live. No 
barren residence, filled with ungratefuls, don't appreciate 
you. | want to love you. 


D-20192: |... | want... (sobbing) 
SCP-1170-2: | love you. 


D-20192: (Sobbing continues, D-20192 moves to kneel 
beside SCP-1170-2) 


SCP-1170-2: | need you. 


End Log. 


Afterword: Less than four (4) seconds after the 
conclusion of this audio log, SCP-1170-2 and D-20192 
simultaneously disappeared from the room.

SCP-1171: Humans Go Home 


Item #: SCP-1171 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1171 is currently occupied 
by Dr. , who has established a false identity as a technical writer. 
A tall wall has been erected around the backyard, and all anomalous 
windows visible from the front of the house have been fitted with 
shutters. For security, several agents have moved in under the guise 
of lodgers. 


Description: SCP-1171 is a two-story house in , Queensland, 
Australia. It was built in 1958, and has been owned by several 
families, most of whom reported no unusual activity. 


The anomalous properties of SCP-1171 manifest on various 
windows of the house. Regardless of relative humidity, a layer of 
condensation is continuously formed on the windowpanes. The 
source of this moisture is as yet unknown. 


An entity (hereby referred to as SCP-1171-1) communicates by 
writing in the condensation, as though it were running an appendage 
along the surface of the window. No biological traces have been 
discovered on the windows that can be attributed to SCP-1171-1. 
Two-way communication can be accomplished by writing back. 


SCP-1171-1 is apparently an inhabitant of another world, calling 
itself Beauremont. It claims not to be human, and is actively hostile 
to humanity. It believes Dr. to be an entity similar to itself. 
Please see Interview Logs SCP-1171-1-3 to SCP-1171-1-14. 


The most recent owner, John Wertham, complained about ghosts, 
prompting investigation by civil authorities, and eventually 
Foundation agents. Following the investigation, the house was 
purchased through a front organization, and Mr. Wertham's 


memories altered. 
Interview Log SCP-1171-1-3 
SCP-1171-1: "CARBON-BASED MONKEYS GO HOME" 
Dr. > "Hello." 


SCP-1171-1: There is a pause. "IS SOMEONE 
THERE?" 


Dr. : "My name is Dr. 


SCP-1171-1: "NICE TO MEET YOU. I'M 
BEAUREMONT." 


Dr. : "Where are you?" 


SCP-1171-1: "IN MY LIVING ROOM. WHERE ARE 
YOU?" 


Dr. > "In another living room." 


SCP-1171-1: "THIS IS NEAT. HOW ARE YOU DOING 
THIS?" 


Dr. : "| don't know. | thought you were doing it." 


SCP-1171-1: "IT'S GOOD TO HAVE SOMEONE 
INTELLIGENT TO TALK TO." An oval with five dots and 
a curved line appears. Two dots were below the line, one 
above it, and two on the left. It is assessed that this is 
SCP-1171-1's version of a "smiley face." 


Dr. : "Is there no one else there?" 


SCP-1171-1: "AH, MOSTLY JUST A BUNCH OF 
GAMETES AND CARBON-LOVERS. CAN'T HARDLY 
STAND ANY OF THAT POLITICALLY CORRECT 
CRAP." 


Dr. : "Gametes?" 


SCP-1171-1: "YEAH, YOU KNOW, HUMANS. DON'T 
YOU HAVE THEM THERE?" 


Dr. : Pauses for a moment, and then answers, "No. 
Tell me about humans." 


SCP-1171-1: "OH, THEY'RE THE WORST. | MEAN, 
DON'T GET ME WRONG, I'M NOT RACIST OR 
ANYTHING. SOME OF MY BEST FRIENDS ARE 
HUMAN. BUT IF THEY'RE AS GOOD AS US, WHY DO 
THEY NEED SKIN? AM | RIGHT?" 


Dr. : "| suppose so. Say, what do you look like?" 


SCP-1171-1: "OH, PRETTY AVERAGE. SEVEN 
TENDRILS TALL. BROWN CARAPACE. GREEN 
BIOLUMINESCENCE. BLUE EYES. YOU?" 


Dr. : "Same."

Dr. : "lam now. How are you, Beauremont?" 


SCP-1171-1: "I'VE BEEN BETTER. LOST A 
PROMOTION TO A GODDAMNED PRIMATE." 


Dr. > "I'm sorry to hear that." 


SCP-1171-1: "IT'S OKAY. IT JUST HURTS. | KNOW I'M 
BETTER THAN ANY AIR-SUCKING SACK OF
