SCP-2217 is a mysterious beach in Greece with anomalous properties, including metal particles in the sand that hold an electrical charge. The beach is capable of creating artificial structures and devices, including machinery, jewelry, and a model of an ancient city, after lightning strikes. The Church of the Broken God, a religious organization that worships mechanization, considers SCP-2217 a holy site and believes it to be the workshop of their god, McCain.
The Church has attempted to capture the beach, but the SCP Foundation has intervened to maintain containment. However, when a flesh-eating disease (SCP-610) threatened the area, the Church surprisingly came to the Foundation's aid, eradicating the contagion with an electrical discharge. The Church's leader, Robert Romero, has since extended an olive branch to the Foundation, proposing a collaborative effort to prepare for an XK-class scenario and potentially reassembling the Broken God.
The Foundation has agreed to work with the Church, but intends to revoke this arrangement after the scenario has been averted. The beach's anomalous properties may hold the key to saving humanity from the wrath of Yaldabaoth, the god of flesh and animal instinct.
1. SCP-2217 is a beach located on a Greek island.
2. The sand on SCP-2217 contains a high concentration of cationic metallic particles.
3. These metallic particles hold an electrical charge despite being grounded.
4. The metal content of the beach influences the weather, increasing the number of lightning strikes.
5. Lightning, rain, and other weather conditions cause various artificial structures and devices to rise from the beach.
6. These structures and devices have been designated as SCP-2217-1.
7. The creations found on the beach include machinery, such as simple clocks and complicated automatons.
8. The machines have no notable anomalous properties apart from how they came to be.
9. Jewelry made from discarded waste has also been discovered on the beach.
10. A model of an ancient Greek city was found in a grotto on SCP-2217.
11. The model city bears the same religious iconography as the jewelry found on the beach.
12. The Church of the Broken God considers SCP-2217 to be a site of holy importance.
13. A splinter faction of the Church, the Broken Church, regards SCP-2217 as a holy site.
14. According to scripture, the beach is believed to be McCain's workshop.
15. An earthquake occurred at SCP-2217 in 2014, causing damage to the grotto.
16. Humanoid figures were seen within the model city, under attack by individuals infected with SCP-610.
17. SCP-610 is a contagious skin disease that transforms people into inhuman monstrosities.
18. The disease was first discovered in a small area in Siberia.
19. The Church of the Broken God believes that SCP-610 is the "flesh" described by the Sarkicism cult.
20. The Sarkicism cult worships flesh and disease and directly opposes the Church of the Broken God.
21. The Cogwork Orthodox Church and the Church of Maxwellism are splinter groups of the Church of the Broken God.
22. These groups believe in adding mechanical parts to their bodies to understand Mechane and bring them closer to their god.
23. In 2018, the Broken Church staged an attack on SCP-2217 and captured it.
24. The SCP Foundation was forced to ask for help from the Horizon Initiative and the Global Occult Coalition.
25. The three organizations formed a joint task force called the Triumvirate.
26. In 2019, an earthquake occurred in Lake Baikal, Siberia, where SCP-610 was contained.
27. Infected individuals attacked Foundation forces in the area, causing heavy casualties.
28. Members of the Church of the Broken God appeared, augmented with machinery, to repel SCP-610.
29. The Church claimed that McCain had told them to assist the Foundation.
30. A large-scale electrical discharge eradicated instances of the SCP-610 contagion.
31. The discharge seemed to have originated from the same island where SCP-2217 was found.
32. Robert Romero, the leader of the Broken Church, sent a video message to the leaders of the Triumvirate.
33. Romero stated that the Church and the Foundation could work together to defeat the "flesh" and save the world.
34. The Church of the Broken God and its splinter groups are uniting to take SCP-2217 for their religion.
35. The Foundation, Global Cult Coalition, and Horizon Initiative are working collaboratively with the Church to prepare for an XK-class scenario.
