Chapter 26 - SCP-013 – “The Golden Mare”

Item #: SCP-013

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures:

SCP-013 is contained at Site-22 within a custom-designed equestrian containment field, including reinforced fencing and padded training grounds.

Personnel assigned to SCP-013 must undergo resilience testing for psychological stress, as SCP-013's behavior has been shown to induce confusion, embarrassment, and unpredictable morale effects.

All interactions must be supervised by at least two handlers equipped with tranquilizer devices calibrated for SCP-013's physiology. Under no circumstances is SCP-013 to be permitted unsupervised public exposure, particularly at competitive sporting events, due to the risk of mass civilian recognition and memetic spread.

Description:

SCP-013 is a humanoid female entity measuring approximately 160 cm in height, possessing equine features including horse-like ears and tail. Genetic analysis indicates a complex hybrid physiology: human DNA with unidentified equine markers, resistant to conventional classification.

SCP-013 exhibits extraordinary athletic performance, particularly in sprinting and endurance racing. Recorded speeds surpass world-record racehorses while maintaining human gait and posture. SCP-013's musculature demonstrates resilience against fatigue, lactic acid buildup, and skeletal injury.

Behaviorally, SCP-013 is highly eccentric, prone to sudden mood swings, erratic statements, and disruptive antics. Despite this, SCP-013 appears self-aware, gregarious, and enjoys performing in front of observers.

Anomalous traits include:

Probability Manipulation (Unstable): SCP-013 demonstrates statistically improbable outcomes during competitions. Examples: stumbling into obstacles yet recovering with no loss of speed, or opponents collapsing without clear cause.

Morale Disruption/Amplification: Presence of SCP-013 in a crowd induces chaotic emotional responses — from uncontrollable laughter to mass confusion to heightened competitive spirit. Effects are non-lethal but destabilizing.

Physical Resilience: SCP-013 recovers rapidly from injuries. A documented incident (fractured limb during containment breach) resolved within 48 hours with no medical intervention.

SCP-013 appears fixated on themes of racing, competition, and "entertaining the crowd." Subject refers to itself as "the golden star of the track," though no anomalous memetic compulsion accompanies these statements.

Discovery:

SCP-013 was first reported in █████, Japan, after multiple viral recordings surfaced online depicting a "human horse-girl" outrunning motorcycles during an unsanctioned event. Foundation webcrawlers intercepted the media, and MTF Psi-7 was dispatched.

SCP-013 initially resisted capture, leading agents through erratic routes and "mock races" through urban streets. Civilian casualties were avoided due to SCP-013's unusual tendency to deliberately avoid direct harm, though extensive property damage occurred.

SCP-013 was eventually subdued via coordinated tranquilizer deployment. Upon awakening in containment, SCP-013 expressed no hostility and instead demanded "a proper racing circuit, worthy of [its] legend."

Addendum 013-1: Interview Log

Interviewer: Dr. ███Subject: SCP-013

Dr. ███: Why do you run?

SCP-013: (laughs) Why does the sun shine? Why does the sea sparkle? Running is my nature, my comedy, my stage!

Dr. ███: You are aware the Foundation is not a racing organization.

SCP-013: (pouts) Boring! Then I'll make you laugh, Doctor. I'll make you cheer. A race without joy is just footsteps in dirt. But a race with me? That's history.

Dr. ███: History?

SCP-013: (grins) I'll leave my hoofprints on the world. Even if I trip a hundred times, the crowd will never forget me.
