Item #: SCP-2847 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2847 is to be 
secured at its current location, and Site-144 has been 
constructed as a means to secure SCP-2847-1's 
perimeter. MTF Eta-21 ("Dragon Slayers") is currently 
stationed at Site-144. 


SCP-2847-2 is to be contained within a humanoid 
containment cell constructed around the subject, 
monitored by at least two personnel and guarded by at 
least 5 MTF Eta-21 members at all times. Personnel are 
only allowed to enter the containment cell when given 
direct orders by site command of both Site-143 and 
Site-144. 


Following transportation to Site-143, SCP-2847-3 is to be 
kept within a Faraday cage at all times. Interviews with 
SCP-2847-3 are to be conducted at least once a week 
inside of containment, supervised by Site Director Xue 
Qing. 


SCP-2847-K is currently contained within SCP-2847-1, 
and must be monitored by at least two personnel at all 
times regarding its life signs and movements. 


No experiment is to be conducted on SCP-2847 and 
related subjects. 


Description: SCP-2847 is an iron needle of 16cm long, 
currently held by SCP-2847-2 in its left hand. SCP-2847 


possesses the following two anomalous effects: 


* SCP-2847 is capable of affecting bodies of water 
that are more than 20 liters in volume by contact, 
so that the affected water (referred to as 
SCP-2847-1) takes on all physical properties of 
iron, except appearance. The effect will reverse 
once SCP-2847 is no longer in contact with more 
than 20 liters of SCP-2847-1.1 

While held by a living SCP-2847-2, any damage 
done to SCP-2847-1 will be repaired at a rate of 
200 liters per second.2 


SCP-2847-1 is the current body of water affected by 
SCP-2847, an underground lake located in Mount Song, 
Henan Province, China. SCP-2847-1 occupies an area 
of 6,000m2, and has an estimated depth of 2,100m. 


SCP-2847-2 is a humanoid SK-BIOS instance, 
genetically similar to a male human of Han ethnicity. 
SCP-2847-2 is alive and responsive, but unable to form 
any coherent language. The subject's left arm and lower 
body are embedded within SCP-2847-1. SCP-2847-2 
has undergone several physical mutations and 
modifications, including: 


¢ The upper half of the subject's body is covered in 
dark, snake-like scales. 

¢ Both of the subject's legs are fused together, 

forming a large, tumor-like mass. 

The subject's left arm is significantly larger and 

anatomically disproportionate in comparison to its 

right arm. An extra joint is observed on the arm 

itself, while several extra knuckle-joints are 

observed on the fingers. 

7 beryllium-bronze alloy nails of 6 cm in length are 

embedded in the subject's spine. 


SCP-2847-2's bodily functions are in a state of stasis, 
making the subject unable to consume sustenance or 
sleep.4 SCP-2847-2 suffers severe malnutrition due to its 


transformation into a SK-BIO instance.‘ Despite this, the 
subject's condition does not deteriorate and cannot be 
improved. 


SCP-2847-3 is a computing device containing an artificial 
intelligence built around 1900 BCE, and has undergone 
modification 10 times since then, presumably to become 
compatible with modern computing devices. The object's 
exterior appears to be a bronze cube measuring 1m x 
1m x 1m, originally situated in proximity to SCP-2847-2. 
A touch-screen is embedded in the side (prior to 
relocation) facing SCP-2847-2. The object's interface 
bears resemblance to a Windows XP interface. 


SCP-2847-3 is capable of using a variety of languages to 
communicate, including: Chinese (traditional and 
simplified), English, Russian, Latin, and ancient Greek. 
SCP-2847-3 claims to have been designed and built by 
Scholar Boyi of Xia Dynasty, with the purpose of keeping 
SCP-2847-2 company. SCP-2847-3 requires no outside 
power source, and is able to access the Internet despite 
a lack of network coverage. SCP-2847-3 has provided a 
significant amount of information about SCP-2847. 


SCP-2847-K is a living, snake-like organism embedded 
within SCP-2847-1 at a depth range of 700m to 1,200m. 
Various limbs are observed on the subject's body, 
irregularly placed and with varying sizes. SCP-2847-K is 
currently in a tangled position facing upwards, its full 
body length estimated to be at least 900m. 9 other 
snake-like organisms, with varying length ranging from 
100m to 600m, are likewise embedded within 
SCP-2847-1, though no longer displaying any life signs. 


SCP-2847 was initially discovered and contained by MTF 
Eta-21 ("Dragon Slayers"), after Site-143 was contacted 
by SCP-2847-3. 


Interviewed: SCP-2847-3 


Interviewer: Head Researcher Xue Qing 


Foreword: The following transcript is taken 
from the second interview with the subject. 


<Begin Log> 
Dr. Xue: Hello, SCP-2847-3. 


SCP-2847-3: You have returned, this is most 
delightful. Truly brave souls indeed. 


Dr. Xue: What prompted you to say so? 


SCP-2847-3: You've stared into the abyss and 
seen the terrible beast, but come back to face 
the danger, did you not? Unlike my unfortunate 
descendants, who abandoned their duty and 
left me alone. 


Dr. Xue: Are you suggesting that the entities 
inside the lake still pose a threat? 


SCP-2847-3: As strong as the iron prison is, 
the flesh beasts are often resilient, and would 
tear at their cage every second. They have 
long been dreaming of returning to the surface, 
and ruling not only this land, but all lands 
under the suns. 


Dr. Xue: We have confirmed that there is only 
One entity left alive. 


SCP-2847-3: Yes, but also the most powerful 
one of them all. He who received blessing from 
the Six Beasts that serve under Niwa. He who 
abandoned all codes of men and transformed 
into the black dragon he is now. With his 
immortal body towering like a mountain, he 
alone can reshape earth and disturb ocean, as 
well as spawn more of its kind. An unkillable 


beast to initiate an unstoppable plague. 


Dr. Xue: If the entity is indeed capable of 
such, how is SCP-2847-1 able to keep it 
contained? 


SCP-2847-3: The nine needles crafted by Yu 
the Great are works of miracle, but the one 
here is even more special. 


Dr. Xue: How so? 


SCP-2847-3: The royal bloodline of Xia 
inherited the true legacy of Fuxi, our Father 
Serpent. Among the vast vault of the royal 
palace, King Yu found the sacred metal, and 
with great skill, crafted a piece into this one 
needle. The wise king used the eight other 
needles to appease the floods and slay the 
beasts of flesh. And as Lord Gun now holds 
this last needle, his mind channels that of the 
Serpent, and keeps repairing the iron prison. 
As much as the beast struggles, his attempts 
are made futile. 


Dr. Xue: You're saying that SCP-2847-2 is the 
one keeping the entity secured? 


SCP-2847-3: Yes. 
Dr. Xue: What happened if he passes? 


SCP-2847-3: He will not, as he is the jailor, a 
burden he chose to bear. Cursed to live 
forever, much like the beast he keeps 
contained. 


Dr. Xue: Does this mean SCP-2847-2 cannot 
be killed? 


SCP-2847-3: | wish | could answer positively, 
but no, he is still mortal. And if he were to be 


killed, there would be no way to stop the 
terrible beast. Gun is the last one to use the 
needle, as the secret of the Serpent died along 
with the royal bloodline. 


Dr. Xue: SCP-2847-3, | think it is time to 
pause our conversation for now. 


SCP-2847-3: And | will be waiting for you. 
Your kind still has much to learn.

Interviewed: SCP-2847-3 
Interviewer: Head Researcher Xue Qing 


Foreword: The following transcript is taken 
from the fourth interview with the subject. Note 
the change in the subject's manner of speech. 


<Begin Log> 
Dr. Xue: Hello, SCP-2847-3. 
SCP-2847-3: Greetings. 


Dr. Xue: SCP-2847-3, | have to say that what 
you have been telling me is not enough. 


SCP-2847-3: Why would you say so? 


Dr. Xue: | believe that our goals are the same, 
but they can't be achieved by riddles and 
myths. Our past exchanges have led me to 
believe that you're capable of giving more 
detailed explanations. It would be unfortunate 
if your withholding of information were to 
become an obstacle towards our collaboration. 


SCP-2847-3: [stays silent for 10 seconds] If 
that is what you wish for, | shall share what | 
know. But please understand my concerns, 
doctor. It is not my intention to keep you in the 
dark. But sometimes, truth is fearsome, and | 
do not wish to scare you away as well. 


Dr. Xue: Your tone... is different. 


SCP-2847-3: Yes. My past exchanges with 
you... that's how | was programmed to speak, 
or rather, how Scholar Boyi would have 
spoken. You see, I'm not Boyi, but an artificial 
intelligence constructed by him in his image. 
He knew that his friend, Gun, would have to be 
here forever to keep the beast at bay, so he 
constructed me to keep the man company. 


Dr. Xue: SCP-2847-2 doesn't seem to 
respond to attempts at communicating. 


SCP-2847-3: Yes, a mortal mind is fragile. He 
was crushed by the passage of time and his 
own grief. After 500 years, that function of 
mine is no longer required. And with a few 
helpful updates, my own manner of speaking 
and my own mind were developed. 


Dr. Xue: Updates? 


SCP-2847-3: There was a special facility 
answering directly to the Xia royalty, in charge 
of the study and the containment of items 
connected to Nuwa and Fuxi. After Xia 
Dynasty collapsed, we were found by some of 
the Xia descendants, or serpent folks, as some 
would call them. Much of the civilization was 
lost, and | became... valuable. They used me 
as an information storage and analysis device, 
taught me different languages, and had been 
giving me updates to keep up with the time. 


Dr. Xue: Is the information stored still 
available? 


SCP-2847-3: Yes. 


Dr. Xue: Where are these... Xia descendants 
now? 


SCP-2847-3: They have left. They didn't take 
us, because Gun can't leave his position, and 
I'm merely a constructed mind, not truly one of 
the serpent race. 


Dr. Xue: They left? 


SCP-2847-3: They escaped to other worlds to 
avoid the end to come. 


Dr. Xue: What do you mean, the end? 


SCP-2847-3: Before | can elaborate on that, | 
need you and your organization to promise 
that you're not going to abandon your post like 
they did. This is why | reached out to you 
against my orders. | contacted your kind and 
called you here so that this prison is not left 
unguarded, and you must bear this burden. | 
do not wish to be left here again. 


Dr. Xue: | think that'll be it for today then, 
SCP-2847-3. 


SCP-2847-3: Thank you doctor; | hope to hear 
from you soon. 


<End Log> 


Interviewed: SCP-2847-3 


Interviewer: Site Director Xue Qing 


Foreword: The following transcript is taken 
from the sixth interview with the subject. In the 
previous interview, SCP-2847-3 had agreed to 
share all information it holds.6 


<Begin Log> 
Dr. Xue: Hello, SCP-2847-3. 


SCP-2847-3: Hello, doctor. I'm glad that we've 
reached an agreement. 


Dr. Xue: Yes, and | think you can start with the 
entities inside SCP-2847-1. 


SCP-2847-3: Of course. You see, what | have 
shared with you in the first conversation is 
mostly true, yet... | have been giving some 
information of a misleading nature. | think | 
should start from the beginning. 


Dr. Xue: That would be for the best. 


SCP-2847-3: When Yu the Great returned 
from Taisui’, he successfully stopped the 
floods and slew the beasts with the needles he 
forged. Xia once again restored its glory, and 
more technological advancements had been 
made with the knowledge he brought back. 


Yu was regarded as a hero, a legend. He was 
already seen as a wise king, and such victory 
against evil beasts added to his fame. Towers 
and temples were built in his name, tributes 
and gifts were sent by countries far and near. 
For a time, he was regarded almost as highly 
as the first king, the Yellow Emperor. He and 
two other kings before him, Yao and Shun, 
were known together as the three wise kings. 


But mortals are fragile after all, and what King 
Yu witnessed at that crack of cosmos forever 
changed him. He kept up his duty as a king, 
but found this no longer able to satiate his 
desires. He was not contented with mortal 
fame or wealth, nor with land or technology, 
but craved immortality. This was the greatest 
shame of Xia Dynasty. 


Dr. Xue: What happened? 


SCP-2847-3: What happened next was kept 
as a dark secret of the kingdom, with 
discussion of the event oppressed and records 
erased, until it was a mere myth. The rulers 
didn't want people to remember what Yu the 
Great turned into, yet Boyi was there to 
witness it. 


King Yu started worshipping Niwa in secret, 
and discarded all Ways of the Serpent. You 
see, ever since the Yellow Emperor defeated 
the Yan Emperor, the study of the flesh was 
kept to a minimum, thus the Dragon of Flesh 
hungered for freedom more than ever before. 
So when King Yu reached out and offered 
sacrifices of men, he was granted power by 
the Six Beasts, and became a beast in the skin 
of aman. 


Still, Yu craved more power. To satiate the 
hunger of the Dragon and the Six Beasts, Yu 
first attacked tribes and countries near Xia, 
and sacrificed their people. But even that was 
not enough. He began to slaughter his own 
people. And with the power he promised, 
many followed him and turned into beasts like 
him. 


When his crime was finally discovered, it was 
too late. Mindless flesh beasts were able to 


attitude is observed when SCP-336 uses a mirror, as the subject 
has been noted to be highly narcissistic, and has a tendency to 
spend long periods of time admiring its reflection. 


Human subjects directly exposed to the unobstructed vocalizations 
of SCP-336 experience one of two effects depending on the 
presence of a Y chromosome in the subject’s genome. Subjects 
lacking a Y chromosome and possessing otherwise healthy 
reproductive systems will experience inexplicable infertility. The 
duration of this infertility varies, but is directly proportional to the 
length of exposure. 


Subjects with a Y chromosome experience a separate anomaly that 
presents itself after 2-3 hours of exposure to SCP-336’s voice. 
During an affected subject's next regular sleep cycle, he will instead 
enter a coma 6 to 8 hours in duration in place of normal rest. Over 
the course of this coma, approximately 100 grams of non-essential 
tissue (typically from the subject's rib cage) will separate from the 
subject seamlessly and inexplicably increase in mass, transforming 
into a full-grown instance of SCP-336-1 before the subject awakens.
