SCP-1153-2 is a collection of five (as of / /  ) laptop computers of 
various makes and models, the earliest produced in 199 and the 
latest produced in 201 . These computers have all been discovered 
in direct connection to an instance of SCP-1153. Each of the 
computers are largely mundane and unremarkable, save for an 
anomalous program entitled [DATA EXPUNGED]'. This program is 
heavily encrypted and to date no attempts to modify or view the 
coding of the program, or to transfer it to another computer, have 
been successful. When opened, the program consists of a menu 
including over listed commands. All of these commands are 
named after an injury or disease, save for the first command, 
entitled 'Wipe’. 


When an instance of SCP-1153-2 is connected by a cable to an 
instance of SCP-1153, the [DATA EXPUNGED] program is 
launched, and a command is executed, the primary anomalous 
effects of SCP-1153 can be observed. When a command is 
executed in connection to an instance of SCP-1153, the body will 
rapidly develop the relevant disease or injury over the course of 
approximately twenty seconds. Multiple injuries and diseases may 
be applied to a body, although the program will display an error 
message when more than five commands are executed on one 
subject. 


The 'Wipe' command heals the body of all injuries and illnesses 
within another twenty-second period, up to and including death and 
advanced decomposition. This 'Wipe' command also affects injuries 
and illnesses not caused or related to the program. SCP-1153 
instances appear to have fully functioning healing and immune 
systems, unless a condition related to these processes Is loaded, 
and so can recover from these conditions naturally or as a result of 
normal treatment methods. 


All contagious diseases applied to SCP-1153 are fully contagious 
and can spread and infect others in a manner identical to natural 
instances of the illness. Certain diseases have multiple commands, 


usually appended with a bracketed word indicating something about 
the disease. For example, executing the command ‘Polio 
(Incubation)’ will cause no symptoms to develop immediately, in line 
with the normal progression of the disease, while executing ‘Polio 
(Advanced)' will cause the body to immediately develop symptoms. 
The list of commands include several diseases which have not 
previously been documented, as well as extinct diseases such as 
smallpox. For this reason, caution must be exercised when testing 
with SCP-1153. 


SCP-1153 initially came to the Foundation's notice on / /199 after 
the first known instance of SCP-1153 was discovered under 
quarantine after being admitted to a hospital in [DATA EXPUNGED], 
apparently suffering from smallpox. How it arrived in the hospital is 
currently unknown, as no documentation or evidence was found 
regarding how SCP-1153 had arrived in the hospital. Foundation 
representatives acquired the body and administered Class-B 
amnestics to those involved. No further measures were required, as 
information had been suppressed to prevent a public panic. The 
subject was placed in Foundation custody, although little was 
learned of SCP-1153's nature until / / ,whenasecond 
SCP-1153 instance was taken into containment with an associated 
SCP-1153-2 instance. Since then, ten instances have been 
discovered and contained around the globe, often in connection to 
unusual or misplaced outbreaks of disease. The current number of 
SCP-1153 instances outside of Foundation custody is unknown. 


Addendum 1153-1: Recent experiments involving SCP-1153-2 
have lead researchers to the conclusion that the anomalous 
program contained within SCP-1153-2 is not fixed and can change 
and develop. For example, after / /2009 all instances of 
SCP-1153-2 appeared to contain a new command, entitled 
'H1N1/09 Influenza’ which caused the subjects to develop symptoms 
identical to the aforementioned strain of the flu virus. All SCP-1153-2 
instances recovered after this date have been found to contain this 
new command, possibly indicating that SCP-1153-2 instances are 
being updated in synchrony by a currently unknown process. 


Addendum 1153-2: On //  , several new commands were found 
to have been added to the list of commands available for 


SCP-1 153-2. All of the commands added on this date correspond to 
an anomalous illness or infection catalogued under Special 
Containment Procedures by the Foundation, including [DATA 
EXPUNGED]. The single instance of SCP-1153-2 discovered after 
this date came to Foundation attention after an outbreak of SCP- 

in [REDACTED] and contained a command list identical to all other 
instances currently in containment. Future outbreaks of anomalous 
diseases are to be investigated to determine a possible link with 
uncontained SCP-1153 instances.

SCP-1154: Conceptual Dragon 


Item #: SCP-1154 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1154 is to be contained in 
Storage Unit , located at Site . SCP-1154 is to be contained ina 
15cm x 15cm sealed container. SCP-1154 is to be kept under guard 
by one (1) security officer at all times. Viewing of SCP-1154 must be 
conducted by members of D-class personnel. 


If any additional components of SCP-1154 are discovered to exist, 
they are to be immediately secured and contained by Mobile Task 
Force Zeta-29 ("Dragon Slayers"). Any civilians affected by 
SCP-1154 are to be brought into Foundation custody for two (2) 
weeks. If, at the end of this period, they have not expired, they are to 
be dosed with a Class-A amnestic and released. 


Any testing with SCP-1154 must be authorised by at least two Level 
Three personnel. 


Description: SCP-1154 is the designation given to a collection of 
media which includes poems, short stories, a novel and a VHS tape. 
All components have thematic links to an entity which the 
components refer to as ‘the Dragon’. Descriptions of this entity vary 
with SCP-1154's different components, and very few of the 
components describe SCP-1154 in accordance with the traditional 
European image of a dragon. (See Component Analysis 1154-1 for 
further information.) 


SCP-1154's anomalous effects become apparent when one of its 
components is viewed and understood by a human being, who will 
hereafter be referred to as the subject. Over the course of two 
weeks, the subject will experience the following phenomena: 


¢ Dreams involving vaguely reptilian entities 


¢ Valuables such as jewellery mysteriously disappearing 

* Perceiving a drastic increase in the ambient temperature 

* A feeling that they are being followed 

¢ Spontaneous combustion (This has not been known to occur 
with all subjects, and it is unknown what criteria, if any, affects 
whether this will occur. After death, the body of the subject 
has been known to disappear, accompanied by the sounds of 
consumption.) 


Component Analysis 1154-1 


A summary of the various components that comprise 
SCP-1154. Components are numbered in the order of 
their discovery. 


SCP-1154-1: A poem originating from the 1600's entitled 
‘The Beast of [REDACTED]'. The poem describes how a 
kingdom is attacked by a dragon and how the king sends 
three knights to defeat it. Two of the knights are killed by 
the dragon, but the third knight climbs onto the dragon's 
back. The poem described how he manages to climb 
atop its neck and stab it in the throat. He is then eaten 
whole by the dragon and the poem ends with the words 
‘And blessed with glory was that beast, Who had come 
from alien skies to feast’. 


SCP-1154-2: An unpublished novel entitled 'A Quest of 
Gold’. It follows the adventures of a scholar as he and a 
group of adventurers attempt to defeat the antagonist, 
who is referred to as 'The Dragon King’. The protagonists 
eventually kill ‘The Dragon King’, but the epilogue 
describes the scholar being possessed and becoming 
the new 'Dragon King’. 


SCP-1154-3: A short story entitled 'The Dragon's 
Shadow'. The story is presented from the point of view of 
a young boy who is afraid that a dragon is present inside 
his house. In the story, the dragon is described as dog- 
sized and as having insectoid properties. The dragon 
chases the boy around his house, eventually killing and 
consuming him. 


SCP-1154-4: A crayon drawing of a dragon. 


SCP-1154-5: The dream diary of . Roughly 90 
percent of the described dreams involve dragons, lizards 
or fire. It is unknown why this specific dream diary carries 
SCP-1154's properties, as other written accounts of 
dreams caused by SCP-1154 carry no anomalous 
effects. 


SCP-1154-6: A movie filmed in 1993 entitled 'Kouen, 
The Eternal Dragon’. The film's plot involves the arrival 
of a humanoid reptile in Tokyo and the military's attempt 
to destroy it. All attempts are unsuccessful, however, and 
the film ends with the reptile consuming the last of the 
survivors.

SCP-1155: Predatory Street Art 


Item #: SCP-1155 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1155 is currently 
contained in a disused parking lot adjacent to an abandoned 
shopping centre in the city metropolitan area. The building is 
to be marked condemned, and access to both it and the car park 
should be restricted by Foundation personnel posing as security 
guards from the front company. Civilians are to be deterred 
from entering the site and supplied with Standard Cover Story 47 — 
“Structural Instability/Sinkhole” if they enquire as to why, SCP-1155 
must be kept under constant observation by motion-tracking security 
cameras. If SCP-1155 is observed to vanish, Mobile Task Force Pi-1 
("City Slickers") should be notified immediately. Personnel should 
not routinely attempt to view SCP-1155 directly; observation must be 
conducted remotely. 


Whatever flat surface that SCP-1155 is currently inhabiting should 
be obscured from view by any standard Class II enclosed mobile 
containment unit, or, in situations where this cannot be effected in a 
timely fashion, by obstructing it with a vehicle, storage container, or 
displaced rubble; provided that this can be done without damaging a 
3 (three) meter area around SCP-1155’s image. Following Incident 
1155b, it has been observed that completely enclosing SCP-1155 
has a tendency to hasten a relocation event. Revised procedures 
now recommend the evacuation of the immediate area surrounding 
SCP-1155 to the minimum distance necessary to prevent contact 
with the general public, unless SCP-1155 manifests in a high 
visibility location or anywhere where preventing public egress is 
impossible. 


At the present time, SCP-1155 cannot be permanently contained by 
any known means. Approximately every 2-4 months, SCP-1155 has 
been observed to spontaneously relocate itself to other urban 


environments, moving as little as 15 meters from its current position 
up to a maximum observed distance of 800 kilometers. These 
relocation events can also be triggered by: 


* Damage to the surface that SCP-1155 adheres to, 

* Interruption of an attack 

« Any attempt to reduce the size of SCP-1155's confinement 
space to prevent visual contact. 


Therefore, current containment efforts are centered around swiftly 
ascertaining SCP-1155's new location and isolating it from public 
view. When such a relocation event occurs, Mobile Task Force Pi-1 
should be immediately deployed alongside local assets to locate the 
new site as quickly as possible, re-implement containment 
procedures, and detain any witnesses. Survivors of attacks should 
be detained, uninjured witnesses may be administered Class-A 
amnestics and then released. 


Description: SCP-1155 manifests as a work of street art/graffiti 
depicting the form of a humanoid creature with sinewy forelimbs, 
claw-like hands and the head and feathers of an owl. The depicted 
pose is variable, but tends towards a predatory stance, with eyes 
that appear to track the viewer. 


Anyone viewing this image directly will experience a compulsion to 
investigate it further. Victims describe a nervous fascination and a 
desire to move closer. This can be resisted with effort, especially if 
the subject is aware of SCP-1155’s anomalous properties. 


If a subject approaches to within two (2) meters and is not in the line 
of sight of another person, they will be subjected to a violent attack, 
suffering severe lacerations, dismemberment of extremities, whole 
or partial removal of soft body parts, and penetrating head trauma 
consistent with those that would be inflicted by a large beak and/or 
talons. The attack generally takes about 6 seconds to conclude, 
upon which both SCP-1155 and the victim will vanish, and 
SCP-1155 will reappear elsewhere in the usual manner of a 
relocation event within seven (7) days. Attacks can be halted before 
this event by reestablishing line of sight to the victim, but this is not 
recommended. (See record of Incident 1155a). Attempts to track 
where the victims are taken by equipping test subjects with GPS 


locators have failed. 


Based on tested interruptions performed at predefined intervals, the 
attack follows a defined pattern- the victim will first be restrained, 
and the eyes and tongue will be removed, rapidly followed by the 
amputation of the hands and feet. The victim will then be 
disemboweled and the intestines and stomach removed. Death 
usually follows due to shock or rapid exsanguination, but only if the 
attack is interrupted by visual contact; the fate of victims who 
disappear along with SCP-1155 at the conclusion of the attack is 
unknown. 


Addenda: 
Incident 1155a 


Two surviving Class D personnel used for ‘attack 
interruption’ tests were given medical treatment and kept 
alive in the aftermath of the event. Both were incoherent 
and could not adequately communicate what had 
happened to them, though D-89786, whose eyes were 
removed during the attack, claimed to still be able to see, 
and provided a description of a "larder" containing bodies 
of previous victims of SCP-1155, along with the entity 
itself. 


D-89786 escaped from on-site quarters during a 
containment breach by SCP- _, and was pursued by 
local law enforcement in nearby who were told he 
was a severely disturbed patient from a local mental 
hospital. Officer | reports they saw the suspect walking 
in to an alleyway, but before they could apprehend, a 
scream was heard and when they rounded the corner it 
was found that D-89786 had disappeared; the alleyway 
was a dead end with no visible exits. 


D-89789 (both eyes, tongue, hands and feet removed 
before attack halted) was successfully transferred to Site 
. A period of rapid relocations was noted in SCP-1155, 
where it was observed in several public places with a 
posture that suggested hunting/tracking behavior. 


SCP-1155 appeared for several hours high up on the 
side of the Building, in full view of many witnesses, 
who fortunately could not access it. In view of the 
difficulties of containment, Site Command made the 
decision to bring D-89789 back into the city. SCP-1155 
was observed to appear several times on walls, 
advertisement boards, and bridges along the transport 
vehicle’s path. D-89789 was observed to become 
increasingly agitated and hysterical during this process. 
D-89789 was transferred to a remote location on the 
edge of city limits, placed in front of SCP-1155, 
whereupon visual contact was broken. SCP-1155 and 
D-89789 disappeared, and SCP-1155 resumed previous 
pattern of manageable relocation behavior.
