Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX-1 and SCP-XXXX-3 are to be contained in a standard locker at Containment Site-56. The following are to be placed on SCP-XXXX-1:

• An incense holder with a heat-safe plate to catch ashes
• Two red candles placed on either side of the incense holder
• A hand bell
• Various statues of Taoist deities as requested by SCP-XXXX
• SCP-XXXX-3

Each week, SCP-XXXX is to be fed daily according to the schedule below, accompanied by the appropriate procedure.

Monday-Thursday: 8 servings of food being served at the site cafeteria that day, brought into SCP-XXXX's containment locker in a wheelbarrow.

Friday: 1 Steamed bun with char siu filling, 8 pieces of pork and shrimp siu mai, and 1 navel orange, brought to SCP-XXXX in a tray

Saturday and Sunday: 500 grams of tofu of any kind¹ brought in a bowl

Feeding may be performed by any personnel whom SCP-XXXX has expressed trust, friendliness, or benevolence toward. Occasional substitutions SCP-XXXX requests are to be submitted to any level 3 researcher assigned to SCP-XXXX for approval. With every daily serving, one stick of sandalwood incense and a lighter are to be brought into the locker with the personnel performing the procedure, herby referred to as the "feeder." Additionally, red candles are to be brought as replacements for candles that are no longer useable.

The following procedure is to be followed when feeding SCP-XXXX every day at noon:

1. The feeder is to knock on the locker door before entering.
2. The feeder is to greet SCP-XXXX and wait for a response. Feeders are permitted to use nicknames so long as SCP-XXXX explicitly approves of its usage.
3. Following a response, the feeder is to place the sticks of incense in the holder If ordered by senior researchers, a short request is to be stated.
4. The candles are to be lit, followed by the incense.
5. The hand bell is to be rung continuously until air emitted from SCP-XXXX-1 extinguishes the candles.
6. Upon the activation, the feeder is to bow three times and place the food on SCP-XXXX-1. If in a wheelbarrow, the food is to be left in front of the altar.
7. Once the food has fully entered SCP-XXXX-2, the feeder is to remove the plate from SCP-XXXX.
8. Unless SCP-XXXX-3 sparks conversation or manifestation is expected to occur, the feeder is to exit the locker.

Description: SCP-XXXX is the designation for an entity consisting of three distinct components, designated SCP-XXXX-1 though SCP-XXXX-3 respectively.

SCP-XXXX-1 with SCP-XXXX-3 on the left.

SCP-XXXX-1 is the designation for a wooden table measuring 50cm in height, 700cm in length and 50cm in width, and an accompanying soiled purple tablecloth. Anomalous properties manifest only when two red candles and an odd number of sandalwood incense sticks are placed on SCP-XXXX-1 and lit.

Following the lighting of the candles and incense, ambient air will be emitted from SCP-XXXX-1 with indefinite amounts of force. Feeders have described the emissions as ranging from the "feeling of a light breeze," to "a brisk gust." However, the force of this initial emission is never forceful enough to extinguish the candles.

The intensity of the emissions do not increase until a designated hand bell is rung, after which the intensity will increase until the candles are extinguished, and an opening into SCP-XXXX-2 is created, although invisible to the eye.

SCP-XXXX-2 is a local dimension of unknown size, of which the sole content is a massive volume of food from various known and unknown cuisines. Various incidents where contents of SCP-XXXX-2 flood out have shown that food within SCP-XXXX-2 are not masticated or broken up in any manner, but remain undamaged. Analyses from various attempts at explorations and artificial openings of SCP-XXXX-2 have suggested that this dimension is not able to keep itself open, but rather is kept open by the mass of its contents. SCP-XXXX-2 cannot be accessed through any openings created in SCP-XXXX-1, as shown in the Experiment Log. However, openings into SCP-XXXX-2 can be created artificially, although side effects may cause harm to participants. Various fatalities have been recorded as a result of mismanagement, due mostly to the immediate influx of SCP-XXXX-2's contents flooding out into the testing area, and asphyxiating subjects. Analysis of the surrounding reality around the opening show slight fluctuations in stability as the contents of SCP-XXXX-2 exit, leading researchers to hypothesize that SCP-XXXX-2 serves as a kind of stomach for SCP-XXXX. Too, artificial openings have been observed to close hours after opening, believed to be a result of SCP-XXXX-2 acting as an organ, and thus healing as such.

SCP-XXXX-3 is a Duraband CDR1906 alarm, radio and CD player, believed to be SCP-XXXX's only method of communication. Despite not being connected to a power source and missing a power cord, SCP-XXXX-3 is able to produce vocalizations in English and Mandarin Chinese. Security footage has shown SCP-XXXX-3 producing sounds when no personnel are present, singing and humming various Chinese and American folk songs and speaking in both languages, referring it itself with comedic and often childish names such as "Fatso" and "Skinny." SCP-XXXX-3 has referred to every component of SCP-XXXX as being part of itself, suggesting SCP-XXXX-3 is the speech organ of SCP-XXXX. On irregular intervals, SCP-XXXX-3 will emit sudden vocalizations, citing the creation of an opening into SCP-XXXX-2 outside of SCP-XXXX-1.

Usually, SCP-XXXX is cordial toward Foundation staff, having expressed negativity only on occasions in which it perceives personnel have broken basic etiquette, often corresponding with Confucian ideals such as avoiding facing the sole of one's foot toward SCP-XXXX-1, providing food outside of scheduled meal times, offering foods SCP-XXXX considers as "Yeet Hay"², or offering an amount of food that SCP-XXXX perceives as greater than seven tenths of the amount needed to reach satiation. Often, when asked questions, SCP-XXXX will answer with cryptic and often vague statements, mostly direct quotes from the Tao Te Ching or Zhuangzi.³

Discovery: The Foundation was first made aware of SCP-XXXX when an engineering institute in Silicon Valley, USA reported three fatalities to local authorities following the testing of a solar-power rotary motor model. Agents embedded in the San Francisco police department brought attention the manner of death, stating that the large rooms in which the motors were tested had been flooded by food. Foundation monitoring stations in California had observed a sudden drop in Hume levels across vast areas of the Bay Area, concentrating mostly around Chinatown in downtown San Francisco.

Investigation into the origin of the drop in Hume levels brought agents to a Taoist temple in the Chinatown area, where overwhelming large amounts of food had been delivered from surrounding restaurants. Further searching into the temple revealed activity corresponding with unstable reality levels centering around SCP-XXXX-1. The head priest of the temple willingly surrendered SCP-XXXX-1 and SCP-XXXX-2, giving instructions that have been developed into the current containment procedures. All civilian parties were administered Class B amnestic. Reality levels were stabilized following SCP-XXXX consuming 3 metric tonnes in produce.

Dr. Affjaye: Hello SCP-XXXX my na-

SCP-XXXX: Please, call me Uncle Fatso.

Dr. Affjaye: Uh…

Dr. Affjaye pauses and looks toward the observation window, to which the supervising researcher nods.

Dr. Affjaye: Uh, well Uncle Fatso, my name is Dr. Affjaye and my colleagues and I would like to know more about you.

**SCP-XXXX:" Very well, doctor. What would you like to know?

Dr. Affjaye: Firstly, how old are you?

SCP-XXXX: Well, that is a very difficult question even for me. I believe it has been at least as long as living beings have consumed cooked food. That is all I am, doctor. Food and sounds coming out of a radio.

Dr. Affjaye: I see, and what about your origin? Where did you come from?

SCP-XXXX: I was born a god, doctor. All the gods came from their human inspiration. The second living beings created the concept of cooking food then sacrificing it, I became. I suppose it is the same with all the other gods.

Dr. Affjaye: Thank you for that… On the topic of your existence, do you exist only in this reality?

SCP-XXXX: No. I have sustained several cuts to my stomach today, yet you have not had to deal with any incidents today, correct?

Dr. Affjaye: Alright then. thank you for your time, Uncle.

Dr. Affjaye: Thank you for the conversation, Doctor.

[BEGIN LOG]

MTF Omega-44 enters SCP-XXXX's containment chamber. SCP-XXXX-3 is humming a Chinese folk song. The team members are equipped with oxygen tanks for entrance into SCP-XXXX-2.

Boyd: Hello, SCP-XXXX, we would like to attempt an exploration of your dimension.

SCP-XXXX: Hello, and who might you be?

Boyd: I am Sgt. Boyd, these are my team members. We would like to attempt exploration of SCP-XXXX-2.

SCP-XXXX: Humans are not food, Sergeant. I do not think I can let you in.

Boyd: May we at least attempt to enter?

SCP-XXXX pauses for several seconds

SCP-XXXX: He who acts with ulterior purpose does harm⁴, Sergeant. Feel free to try.

Boyd places a stick of incense in the holder and lights the candles and incense. He rings the bell until the candles extinguish. He turns to the team and signals for them to don the oxygen masks.

Boyd: Stack up!

The team members line up in single file, preparing for entry.

Boyd: Entry!

Boyd jumps onto SCP-XXXX-1, which does not yield, and shifts under his weight. Boyd falls backward into Saul, who falls into Castro, who falls into Hess.

SCP-XXXX: What did I just tell you?

Note: Following this test, several tests produced similar results, and thus will not be recorded as full video logs.

Subsequent SCP-XXXX-2 Entry and Exploration Attempts

Date	DATA	Effects	Notes
March 3, 2020	Steamed bun secured to a mini drone.	Attempt unsuccessful, steamed bun was able to enter SCP-XXXX-2, but the drone was unable.	Perhaps only non-food items cannot enter if they are visible.
March 4, 2020	GPS Device inserted into steamed bun	Unsuccessful, Steamed bun is able to enter SCP-XXXX-2, however the GPS device was left behind on SCP-XXXX-1	Food items most likely are the only items able to enter SCP-XXXX-2.
March 5, 2020	Attempted entrance into SCP-XXXX-2 via an artificial opening with a GPS inserted into a steamed bun.	Unsuccessful, bun is able to enter but the GPS is not.	SCP-XXXX-3 was observed screaming in its chamber. It is advised to avoid creating any more artificial openings.

Transcript:

I have failed, Uncle.

I have failed the world

I have failed my duties as the high Daoist priest of the Chinese empire.

Today started just fine. I performed my daily prayers to the Three Pure ones and opened the grand temple for the day.

Maybe it was the guns, maybe it was their size or maybe it was even my own cowardice, but I shouldn't have gone when the soldiers came for me.

Uncle, you of all people understand that greed is what kills man. Your necessary greed is what keeps this reality together.

Perhaps you know what happened already, but this is just something I need to let out.

They made me open your stomach at the top of a mountain facing toward the Vietnamese but I opened you too far backwards and everything flooded out and went everywhere.

I couldn't bear to hear you scream as your stomach released everything and it began to flood the streets and inundate the rivers.

I could only watch from a helicopter as people drowned in food and reality began to dissolve and matter was contorted.

They tell us in school when we are young, the mighty dynasty of Chiang Kai-Shek is stronger as a monarchy than the Nguyen republic in the south or the Dictatorships in the southeastern archipelagos. But does all of that matter in the grand scheme of things.

No matter if you're a Chinese emperor, a Vietnamese president or Philippine dictator at the end of the day, everyone will still drown in the stomach contents of a reality destabilizing deity,

And its all my fault uncle. I could have just said no and they would have respected it.

I suppose that's all past now. It seems I’m the only one left. I can sense that our reality is going to fall apart at any moment now. It seems the cut has healed but I suspect the empty cavern left in your stomach will cave in soon. I'm going to leave this recording inside of your voice box. Perhaps it will find its way out of this.
