Description: SCP-1930 is a worn metal first-aid kit box consistent 
with those produced circa 1944 for the U.S. Army in World War Il. 
SCP-1930 can be identified by a series of scratches on the bottom 
of the case (|||| ||), as well as by being anomalously heavy 
(approximately 23kg), even when empty. When opened, the back 
surface of SCP-1930 appears to be composed of a black material 
that absorbs all light. All attempts to take a sample of this material or 
otherwise damage it have failed, and spectroscopic analysis is 
inconclusive. 


If SCP-1930 is placed open on a flat surface near an injured human 
subject, one or more emaciated human arms will extend from the 
black inside surface and attempt to treat the subject. Such treatment 
has taken the form of a variety of procedures from basic first aid to 
complex surgery; the arms will make appropriate use of any tools or 
instruments provided. Once treatment is complete, the arms will 
retract into SCP-1930. The treatment administered by SCP-1930 is 
typically medically appropriate, if not necessarily effective. As the 
movements of the arms tends to be jerky or spasmodic, sensitive 
procedures — especially invasive surgery — tend to result in 
significant collateral damage and harm to the subject. 


SCP-1930 was discovered in the basement of the abandoned 
[REDACTED] Medical Center near [REDACTED]. A worker assisting 


in the demolition of the building discovered SCP-1930, which 
activated and attempted to treat a minor cut on the worker's arm. 
Witnesses were administered Class A amnestics and later released. 


Addendum 1930-01: Notable Experiments Log 


Subject: D-3414 

Date: // 

Known Injuries: Broken arm 

Tools Provided: Full first-aid kit and trauma kit 

Results: SCP-1930 applied a splint to the broken arm. Subject 
complained that the bandage was too tight, and subsequently had to 
be re-treated due to loss of circulation in the affected arm. 


Subject: D-3551 

Date: / / 

Known Injuries: Gunshot wound to leg, medium caliber 

Tools Provided: Full first-aid kit and trauma kit 

Results: SCP-1930 removed the bullet, but severely damaged 
surrounding tissue in the process, resulting in a pronounced limp in 
Subject. 


Subject: D-3559 

Date: // 

Known Injuries: Common cold 

Tools Provided: Full first-aid kit and trauma kit 

Results: SCP-1930 incised into subject's abdomen with a scalpel, 
Causing massive trauma and internal bleeding while attempting to 
remove something. Subject expired before procedure was 
completed; subsequent autopsy revealed an undiagnosed malignant 
tumor in subject's liver. 

Observer Note: Following expiration of D-3559, SCP-1930 
appeared to have attempted to cut its own wrist with the scalpel 
before being forcibly withdrawn. 


Subject: D-4819 

Date: / / 

Known Injuries: Skin rash 

Tools Provided: Full first-aid kit and trauma kit 

Results: Observers reported that SCP-1930 emitted a loud 
screaming sound, and repeatedly stabbed subject with several 


sharp instruments until subject expired. Autopsy found no unusual 
conditions in subject. 

Observer Note: Examination of subject's criminal record revealed 
that D-4819 had been a surgeon prior to incarceration, and had 
been convicted of killing two women undergoing medical treatment. 


Addendum 1930-02: Incident Report 


On // , Dr. inadvertently left a digital voice recorder active 
next to SCP-1930 following an experimental procedure. When later 
examined, the voice recorder was discovered to have picked up 
anomalous audio. Subsequent experimentation confirmed that 
digital audio recordings made at close range can pick up audio 
inaudible to human hearing. 


To date, the audio recorded near SCP-1930 has included: 


* The sound of a human male subject sobbing and crying. 

* Scratching sounds similar to the sounds of nails scraping 

across a metal surface. 

Soft tapping or banging. 

¢ An indeterminate male voice whispering, "I'm sorry" and 
"please let me go".

SCP-1931: The Bite of Flight 


Item #: SCP-1931 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1931 is to be kept in a 
climate-controlled containment vault at Storage Site-41 to protect it 
from deterioration. In order to prevent the spread of blood-borne 
disease among personnel, only D-Class personnel may be used in 
conjunction with SCP-1931's anomalous effects when human testing 
is necessary. 


Description: SCP-1931 is the head of an adult female Panthera 
tigris tigris (Bengal tiger), stuffed and preserved through taxidermy. 
A number of scars are present on SCP-1931's face, determined to 
have been inflicted by other animals. The wound at the base of the 
head has been filled with tar, presumably by the original owner. A 
small bronze plaque bearing the words "Property of Herman Fuller's 
Circus Of The Disquieting" is embedded in the tar. SCP-1931 
appears to have been restored several times, primarily through the 
painting of its fur; however, there is no indication that the teeth have 
been altered in any way since the animal's death. A mechanical 
hinge has been installed in SCP-1931's jaw, allowing it to open and 
close freely. 


Any organism, living or otherwise, that is harmed in some way by 
SCP-1931's fangs will begin to levitate at a height proportional to the 
severity of the damage inflicted, although the precise proportion 
seems to vary between cases and has not yet been determined. 
Preliminary testing has shown that minor wounds typically result in 
subjects floating between 0.5m and 3m above the ground, whereas 
severe physical trauma has resulted in subjects rising to 
stratospheric heights at speeds in excess of 10km/h. Once 
suspended at a given height, affected subjects will be able to propel 
themselves laterally when presented with a given means of thrust. 
SCP-1931's effects on a subject will cease 30 to 35 hours after initial 


injury, causing the subject to descend at a rate consistent with 
natural falls from a given height. 


Foundation intelligence discovered SCP-1931 on 03/14/2013 when 
aman named Jackson put the item on an online auction site, 
claiming it could grant the power of flight. According to his testimony, 
Mr. discovered SCP-1931 while digging the foundation for a 
barn and learned of its anomalous effects from other items found at 
the same time (see Addendum SCP-1931-DOC). He was 
administered amnestics and SCP-1931 was recovered without 
incident. SCP-1931 was originally found in a silk-padded glass case 
contained within a steel ossuary. Also recovered from the ossuary 
was the unpreserved remains of a headless Bengal tiger, confirmed 
to belong to SCP-1931. Both the body's front paws were observed 
to have been crudely severed, the left apparently reattached with 
metal wire and the right missing entirely. 1 


Addendum SCP-1931-DOC: Several items were recovered from 
SCP-1931's grave in addition to its remains. SCP-1931-DOC-A is a 
transcription of the text found on a promotional illustration bearing 
the image of a living SCP-1931 pouncing on a young calf. 
SCP-1931-DOC-B is a series of journal entries pertaining to 
SCP-1931, selected from the pages of a leather-bound log owned 
by a Mr. Bernard Crawford. SCP-1931-DOC-C is a document listing 
the contents of a smaller wooden box buried adjacent to 
SCP-1931's ossuary.

Jenny gave birth to her first litter of cubs 
yesterday evening. One of them did not 
survive, the other three seem healthy. 

The smallest one, though, still baffles my mind. 
| went to bed last night certain that | had been 
dreaming, and yet | have awoken and my 
dreams persist. In all the years I've spent 
around tigers, | have never seen or heard of 
anything remotely similar to this. It is bizarre, 
and somewhat frightening; however, | choose 
to see this as an immense blessing. She is 
unique in all the world, and | have a very 
strong feeling she will be my ticket to fame and 
fortune among my peers in the field of 
entertainment. | have named her Amelia 
Earhart, in honour of the pilot who made the 
incredible transatlantic flight two years ago. It 
seemed fitting, as both seem to possess the 
gift of flight, so to speak. As soon as she is 
weaned, | will begin training. 


SCP-1931-DOC-B2

Amelia continues to prove exceptionally 
intelligent and affectionate. Beyond her 
extraordinary abilities, she has shown herself 
to be a remarkable performer in general and 
has consistently outshone both her siblings— 
and every other tiger | have encountered, for 
that matter. Crowds have increased 
substantially at Marco Bros. since | 
incorporated her into my act, and in turn our 
salary has improved as well. | am putting much 
of the extra funds into buying fresh salmon for 
Amelia, as it appears to be her food of choice 
and | am told it is good for her coat.

My fortune improves by the day. A gentleman 
by the name of Herman Fuller arrived at my 
house this morning and invited me to join his 
travelling circus in America. When | informed 
him that | was already employed at the Marco 
Bros. Circus, he offered to pay me four times 
my current salary and personally cover all my 
travel expenses. How could | refuse an offer 
such as that? | have written my resignation 
letter and shall submit it in the morning. My 
only concern is how Amelia and the other 
tigers will handle the overseas travel. 


SCP-1931-DOC-B4 
03-05-1935 


It is now our third day here at the Herman 
Fuller circus. Amelia and her family have 
already made friends with some of the other 
animals here. | haven't adjusted quite as 
quickly; this troupe is astoundingly massive 
compared to Marco Bros' and the experience 


has been more than a little overwhelming. 
Many of the other performers here have 
bizarre talents that defy all reason; | am not 
bothered by this per se, but | can't help but feel 
as though Amelia has gone from being a one- 
of-a-kind star to simply being just another 
‘magic animal’. But out of all our problems, the 
worst is that we are currently positioned two 
tents away from the Den of Freaks. | am very 
uncomfortable with this arrangement, but so 
long as they stay far away from me and my 
animals, everything should be fine. 

Still, our experience so far has been largely 
positive. The general attitude among 
performers is pleasant and everyone has been 
very impressed by my animals, especially 
Amelia. Also, in addition to earning money by 
performing our act, the Ringmaster had the 
brilliant suggestion to supplement our income 
by selling ‘balloon animals’: stray cats and 
dogs given the kiss of flight and tied to strings. 
It's a tad macabre for my tastes, but our 
patrons seem to love it. My fortune improves 
by the day.

22-09-1935 


The Ringmaster invented a delightful new 
finale for our act, involving a number of clowns 
being gingerly bitten in succession and 
bouncing off the walls of the bigtop. They're 
surprisingly good sports about it; | like to think 
they must still have a fair amount of English 
blood in their veins.

13-10-1937 


A young boy approached me today and asked 
what happens to balloons that are released 
into the air. | told him | didn't know, since 
saying that they pop and fall to the earth would 
sound especially unpleasant in this context. 


SCP-1931-DOC-B7 


24-02-1938 


Amelia and | have arranged to vacation back 
in England while Yuri watches over the other 
tigers. | know that Essex is not exactly her 
species' homeland, but | feel that she may still 
enjoy revisiting the place of her birth. 


SCP-1931-DOC-B8 
(No date given) 


| have seen a side to this circus darker than 
anything beyond my wildest dreams. If | did 
not sleep surrounded by wild beasts | would 
surely fear the worst. 


SCP-1931-DOC-B9 
06-08-1949 


Once again, the Ringmaster requested that 
Amelia and | take care of a unwanted party. It 
was especially windy tonight, and | would be 
surprised if she hasn't drifted halfway to 
Sweden by now. I'll admit that it's a messy 
means of disposal, but at least it's a mess that 
we don't have to clean up. 


SCP-1931-DOC-B10 


10-11-1953 


Our act—ruined! My darling—crippled! And yet 
not a word of sympathy for either of us. 
Goddamn freaks! That hellish thing takes off 
half of Amelia's right leg, and everybody 
believes the freaks when they say that she 
made the first move. Everyone's so blasted 
scared of the man with the upside-down face 
that they're letting the freaks walk all over us! 
I've been telling the Ringmaster for years that 
we should just drop the Den of Freaks and the 
Freak Parade and stick to acts that require 
actual skill and intellect. | said it time and time 
again, and now that damn palm reader is 
wearing my girl's foot as a trophy! We're alla 
little strange here, yes, but those creatures 
aren't even human, least of all that 
monstrosity. It's bad enough we have to put up 
with the clowns, now we have to worry about 
the freaks dropping their facades and hacking 
off our heads and limbs. It's a bloody shame 
how downhill things have gone since | first 
arrived here. 


SCP-1931-DOC-B11 
24-02-1955 


| have had it with this confounded place! Any 
semblance of dignity, decency, and order this 
circus may have once had is long gone. 
Monstro-Boy, that reeking, foul-mannered, 
snaggletoothed gremlin had the gall to lay a 
hand on Amelia, and when | put him in his 
place, the Ringmaster lashed out at me! | 
knew the man with the upside-down face's 
influence was spreading, but | had no idea that 
even the Ringmaster was under his thumb. | 
cannot tolerate this lack of professionalism any 
longer. As soon as | have the wherewithal, I'm 
taking my animals elsewhere. 


SCP-1931-DOC-B12 
09-02-1955 


Plans have changed. Amelia is ill. She picked 
up some terrible disease from that filthy freak 
and now she is dying. 

If | lose her, | swear this shall be my suicide 
note. 


SCP-1931-DOC-B13 
13-03-1955 


| lost Amelia three days ago. | have only now 
regained enough sobriety to write legibly. | 
insisted on giving her a good, proper, Christian 
burial, but the Ringmaster claimed her body as 
his property. He has had her head preserved 
and continues to use it to provide the public 
with his infernal balloon animals. | was only 
permitted to bury her body. 

| have no anger or grief now, only a sense of 
duty. | cannot take my own life and leave the 
rest of my animals to this damned place. 
Furthermore, the work that Amelia and | 
started will continue in her name. 


SCP-1931-DOC-B14 
27-07-1964 


It took some time, but justice has finally been 
dealt. Monstro-Boy has been rightly exposed 
as the murderer he is. The fact that he did not 
commit the murders for which he was 
apprehended is of no consequence to me. The 
best part is that while his name goes down in 
ruin, mine remains pure: even those in the 
circus who are sympathetic to the monster 
blame his idiot brother Jacob. Not a single 


heart is turned against me now. 

Therefore, | have taken this opportunity to take 
Amelia's head from the curiosity tent and bury 
it with the rest of her remains. She can finally 
be at rest. The work is completed and the 
indignity has ended.
