Instances of SCP-336-1 are various adult female organisms formed 
from disparate anatomical elements selected seemingly at random 
from two or more genetically unrelated vertebrates. 90% of 
instances incorporate elements from two or more of the following 
species: Homo sapiens; Aquila fasciata (Bonelli's Eagle); Vipera 
ammooytes (Sand Viper); Panthera leo persica (Asiatic Lion); Bos 
primigenius (Aurochs - extinct); Equus ferus przewalskii (Mongolian 
Wild Horse); and an unidentified subspecies of Capra aegagrus 
(wild goat). Current findings suggest that the genetic makeup of the 
affected subject directly correlates with the composition of the 
corresponding instance; research is ongoing. The majority of these 
hybrids are not anatomically viable and typically expire within two 
weeks. Surviving instances are irrationally violent and demonstrate 
no evidence of higher intelligence. 


SCP-336 has demonstrated mild disdain for instances of 
SCP-336-1, and has been reluctant to discuss both the organisms 
and the means of their creation. As SCP-336 has been otherwise 
cooperative with Foundation personnel, the reason for this behavior 
is unknown. 


turn the land upside down, and with the past 
hero turned into one and an army at his 
disposal, nothing could stand in their way. Yu 
was bestowed even greater power, as he built 
an empire of flesh. He and his followers 
claimed to be true dragons and tried to 
eventually bring Mother Dragon back to this 
earth. 


Dr. Xue: They're the beings inside 
SCP-2847-1? 


SCP-2847-3: Yu even tried to convince Boyi 
that it was a just cause, but Boyi refused, and 
led the fight against him. But the king was too 
powerful, and even the machines of miracle 
could barely keep him and his army at bay. It 
was a hopeless war, as Boyi fought his once 
respected king and kept losing grounds. In the 
end, Lord Gun stepped up. He... as you might 
have already guessed, Gun is Yu's father. 


Dr. Xue: Yes, we had the suspicion.8 


SCP-2847-3: Lord Gun is an esteemed 
character, selfless, no doubt. But the main 
reason he is in this position now is that he 
blamed himself for what happened to Yu. He 
felt personally responsible for the disasters Yu 
caused. 


So when all seemed hopeless, he reached out 
to Yu and pretended that he wanted to join the 
way of the flesh. Using Yu's madness and his 
trust on him, Gun tricked Yu into this place. It 
was then that Gun used the needle Yu himself 
made and trapped him and his most powerful 
followers. 


Dr. Xue: | see. 


SCP-2847-3: As long as Gun holds the 
needle, and stays alive to activate it, the iron 
water can repair itself, this you already know. 
Because of this, seven nails were embedded 
into Gun's back to ensure that he survives. But 
Yu the Great... He is as powerful as when he 
first stepped into this prison. His followers all 
withered and died, but only he... He is truly 
immortal now. 


Dr. Xue: Is this the end you were referring to? 
When the entity escapes? 


SCP-2847-3: No. The serpent folks had 
guarded the prison faithfully throughout the 
ages. They feared other things. 


Dr. Xue: What is this end, then? 


SCP-2847-3: The Great Brass Cage will not 

hold much longer, and when that day comes, 
whether this prison will hold or not no longer 

matters. 


That day, the Broken One will be whole and 
the Caged One will be free. The Serpent and 
the Dragon will fight and consume each other, 
until only one of them remains. That will be the 
end. That's what the snakes are running from. 


Dr. Xue: Thank you, SCP-2847-3, that will be 
it for now.

Notable snippets concerning SCP-2847: 


| cannot describe adequately how | feel about 
my discovery. Only now | realize how pale 
mere words are. | can still hear my heart 
pounding and feel my scales standing up as | 
write this, not out of excitement, but out of fear. 
| think | have found the resting place of Yu the 
Great. 


| say this with grief that our terrible myth about 
the iron prison might be true. This is a 
nightmare turned reality. Aren't we already 
among the ruins of our civilization? Why must 
we discover this horrible truth? Is this Fuxi's 
punishment for us, seeking to seize his power? 


| urge that you come immediately. 


My men have secured the site and | must 
confess that I'm no longer excited as before. 
We do need more relics to restore our great 
kingdom, but such a thing may better have 
been erased from history and wiped off this 
reality. 


It is my regret to inform you that this is indeed 
the infamous Iron Prison, the terrible myth that 


happens to be true. | have met Lord Gun and 
Scholar Boyi's creation, and stared down into 
the abyss where Yu the Great was buried. It 
seems that the device intended to keep Lord 
Gun alive also saved them from being 
destroyed during our kingdom's doom. 


Now that the Iron Prison is in our hands, it is 
our burden to bear. 


Cancong, are you out of your mind? How is 
this plan going to help us repair the seal on 
Taisui? We do want the control over the land 
again, and we do need more power, but you're 
only helping the Dragon out! You cannot 
accept that power and still keep your mind. 
Please just listen to me. Is King Yu nota 
lesson to you? At this date, he still toils in the 
Iron Prison, much like how Niwa toils in the 
Great Brass Cage. This is why we, the Xia 
descendants, blood of the Dragon and the 
Serpent, never seek immortality. We're not 
that desperate yet, there must be other 
solutions. 


| have visited the place and | have a few 
suggestions to make. Lord Gun's condition is 
most unfortunate, but can't be helped. Having 
to watch his own son turning into a monster 
and keep it imprisoned down there must have 
broken his mind. 


Boyi's copy however, might be of other use. It 
is based on one of the greatest minds of Xia, 
after all. With a few adjustments, it can be 
much more than a chatting tool, and might 
develop an independent mind. This will aid us 
greatly. 


The device is ancient, and might not be 
compatible with what we have now. | do also 


need to first modify it so that it will still act on 
our interests and regard keeping King Yu 
secured as its priority, but I'm very eager to 
test this out. 


And regarding our arrangement of the Iron 
Prison... this is not something I'm proud of, but 
I'm afraid that we have no choice. The Church 
of Broken God is full of fools, blinded by their 
faith. Bumaro has contacted us, but | turned 
down his offer. Even the brightest of them 
don't seem to comprehend that when Fuxi is 
whole again, its body will return to him, no 
longer caging Niwa. They just do not see that 
the more they piece their god together, the 
closer the flesh beast is to its freedom. 


If we leave the Iron Prison to them, they will kill 
Lord Gun in an instant, letting loose the true 
threat. Nor do | trust the Bookburners and the 
Jailors, who will turn on us the first chance 
they get, and even less so for those cultists of 
the Library. Moreover, we're running out of 
time. If we still wish to avoid the wrath of our 
Mother and Father, I'm afraid that we have to 
leave the place as it is and hope that nobody 
discovers the resting place of our damned 
king. 


Executive Order: On 2016/12/01, Project Hetu Luoshu 
is initiated, based on Sites-143, -144, and -148, led by 
Site Director Xue Qing, and supervised by the O5 
council. The project aims to contain and reverse- 
engineer items related to Xia Anomalous Culture Group 
(GOI-004X). SCP-2847-3 has agreed to offer all data 
available and provide aid in the project. 

Footnotes 

1. Because of this, SCP-2847 can be considered an 
alternative instance ofSCP-2711. 


2. SCP-2847-3 claims that SCP-2847-2 is the only 
remaining subject capable of triggering this effect, but it 
is unknown how true this statement is. 

3. Living organisms created and/or manipulated bySarkic 
Cultsthrough anomalous means. 

4. SCP-2847-3 states that this is caused by the 7 
beryllium-bronze alloy nails, and that the removal of any 
of the objects will cause the effect to cease. 

5. Analysis suggests that SCP-2847-2's transformation 
into a SK-BIO instance happened in a short time span, 
with the subject's left arm and the tumor quickly deprived 
the rest of its body of nutrition. 

6. SCP-2847-3 agreed to offer all available information 
and provide aid in the Foundation's research into items 
related to Xia Anomalous Cultural Group (GOI-004X), 
under the condition that SCP-2847-3 is interviewed 
regularly (at least once a week), and that Foundation 
keeps SCP-2847-K contained. These terms were agreed 
to by the O5 Council. 

7. A imaginary planet in ancient China, which is the 
counterpart of Jupiter but moves in the opposite 
direction. 

8. According to Chinese myths, Gun failed his task of 
flood control. His son Yu succeeded his position, 
managed to appeased the floods, and later became the 
king of the land. 

9. The group is considered a obscure sect of the Church 
of the Broken God due to their beliefs. Note that they 
developed independently from the main CotBG sects.

SCP-2848: Leave It All Behind 


Item #: SCP-2848 
Object Class: Neutralized 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2848 was to remain in the 
container in which it was originally discovered. SCP-2848 and its 
container were to be held in the Safe Wing at Site-19 in a standard, 
Class-1 Containment Cell. 


SCP-2848's containment chamber was outfitted with a basic audio 
system and radio, television set, and a table and chair for 
interviewers. Standard recording equipment for all interviews was 
maintained and logged. 


Update: The remains of SCP-2848 have been disposed of in 
accordance with its wishes following permission being granted by 
the O5 Council. 


Description: SCP-2848 is a taco recovered from Fiesta Mexicana 
Grande restaurant in , Tennessee in 1989. SCP-2848 
consisted of a deep fried corn taco shell, ground beef, lettuce, 
tomato, white American cheese, and various spices. 


SCP-2848 is fully sentient, and it possesses the ability to 
communicate and understand spoken English. Investigations show 
that the shell of SCP-2848 vibrates slightly, producing sounds which 
are indistinguishable from human speech, though often described as 
‘slightly tinny.’ Through unknown apparatus, SCP-2848 is able to 
perceive touch and smells. While SCP-2848 cannot describe the 
people or objects around it, it does claim to be able to 'see' things 
around it. Whether this is genuine response that is somehow 
hampered or an imagined response cause by its current state is 
unknown. 


SCP-2848 has no knowledge of how it became SCP-2848, though it 


recalls many events and circumstances from before this time. While 
extensive knowledge of current events through the preceding 
decades, information about its personal life, and a fair amount of 
data dealing with the stock market is known, SCP-2848 has no 
recollection of its name or the names of anyone else it knew. While it 
is aware of actions it took, these actions are sometimes known only 
out of context. 


Shortly after initial containment, SCP-2848 was confirmed to be 
highly depressed, and the Site-19 Head Psychologist, Dr. Glass, 
continues to have private interviews with SCP-2848 on a bi-weekly 
basis. In the interim, Dr. Glass has recommended that all members 
of the SCP-2848 team who are comfortable doing so should speak 
regularly with SCP-2848 and 'keep it company.’ 


Extensive logs are kept in an attempt to narrow down the list of 
attendees at the restaurant that day, though currently, the 
information is sparse at best. SCP-2848 was found in a white, 
styrofoam box, apparently left at a table after being used to house 
SCP-2848 for transport, though SCP-2848 was left behind. It was 
recovered when the servers, who heard the voices coming from the 
trashcan and interpreted it as a demon, contacted a local priest for 
an exorcism, which in turn alerted the Global Occult Coalition, who 
in turn put SCP-2848 into the Foundation's care for study. 


Interview Logs: 


While an exhaustive collection of interviews is available, 
these discourses cover several daily conversations for 
over a decade of time. The selections presented here 
were chosen by the SCP-2848 containment team 
following its reclassification to Neutralized and are 
considered to exemplify SCP-2848's attitude, feelings, 
thoughts, and personality clearly to the reader. 


- Project Lead, Dr. James Kapera 
Initial Recovery Interview Excerpt (August 14, 1989) 


Dr. Kapera: SCP-2848, can you tell me anything about 
before you entered your current form or how you 


reached it? 


SCP-2848: | remember how things used to be a lot 

simpler back then. | used to be able to talk to people. | 
had friends. Neighbors. Now, there's no one left. Just 
you people, sitting here and asking me this nonsense. 


Dr. Kapera: Please, SCP-2848. We're not attempting to 
upset you. We're just trying to understand. 


SCP-2848: To understand? I'll tell you something you 
can understand. When you're old, when you're alone, 
there's no one left to talk tell how you feel, because 
there's no one left. Period. 


Dr. Kapera: Please, SCP-2848. Answer the question. 
When did you first realize you were in your current form? 


SCP-2848: | don't remember. 


Dr. Kapera: What do you remember? What was the first 
thing? 


SCP-2848: | was surrounded by white. | thought | was 
dead. The light was all muted, and then, they opened the 
lid of the box, and | screamed. 


Dr. Kapera: Do you remember what you were doing 
before that? 


SCP-2848: No. 
Dr. Kapera: 2848? 


SCP-2848 remained unresponsive and did not respond 
to further inquiries. 


In 1990, it was determined that SCP-2848 grew less 
responsive through the month of July. An interview 
conducted by Dr. Kapera confirmed that this was a ‘hard 
time of the year’ for SCP-2848. Interviews during this 


time were kept brief to maintain SCP-2848's compliance. 
Interview 91-288 (July 12, 1991): 

Dr. Kapera: Morning, 2848. 

SCP-2848: Good morning, Jim. 

Dr. Kapera: Have a good evening? 


SCP-2848: | did, yes. That new girl you all have is nice. 
Good listener. 


Dr. Kapera: She's trying. How've you been? 
SCP-2848: Not so good. It's that time of year, you know. 


Dr. Kapera: Yeah, | do. Can | do anything for you? Put 
on some music or something? 


SCP-2848: No, | think I'll be fine. Do you mind if we skip 
the interview today? 


Dr. Kapera: That's no problem at all. I'll talk to you 
tomorrow, alright? 


SCP-2848: Thank you. 


Interview 92-221 (July 16, 1992): 


Dr. Kapera: Just checking in, 2848. There's a new movie 
in the lounge, if you're interested. Some romantic thing. 
I've got clearance to take you. 


SCP-2848: Thank you, but that's not necessary. Maybe 
next week? 


Dr. Kapera: Sure. I'll talk to you then. 


Interview 93-11 (January 5, 1993):
