As the cheers calms down the focus returns on screen as it comes to life.

It shows a woman with a blonde mane woman and lilac eyes though that was all that normal as the rest look to be made of iron frame or joints and leather skin. Her uniform looks similar to Dr. Rose expects a flaming fist. She then gives a singing tone. "Hel-looooo! Cpt. Xiao Long, here second-commanding officer of Delta 11 better known as the Iron Fist. Sup, today we're talking about a well… personal item today. Without a further ado, let's begin."

Yang blink a few times before saying. "Okay, what happened to me?"

Item #: SCP-217

Object Class: Keter

A collective 'no' is heard throughout the room, though they have yet to see a no-dangerous object yet.

Special Containment Procedures: Containment area is to be kept behind two reverse-pressure airlocks. Chemical shower sterilization, full contained-atmosphere haz-mat suits, and 24-hour post-interaction quarantine and testing are mandatory for all personnel entering containment area. Should containment be breached, the blast door for the containment and research area will seal, and chemical agent ZEER-217-11 will be pumped into the air.

Weiss' brow raised up before asking. "What's ZEER-217-11?"

"An acid that burns away biological matter at a microscopic level." Xion said with no hint of shame, this caused some groans from the students.

Any humans exposed to SCP-217 are to be contained and held for observation. Any items touched by those affected by SCP-217 must be sterilized.

"So it's some kind of infection. Viral, Bacterial… Fungal?" Weiss asks a little concern for the latter option.

"Viral." Xion answered, receiving a sigh of relief from the heiress.

Description: SCP-217 is a virus, incurable by current means, with a rate of infectivity at 100%. It affects all organisms in the kingdom Animalia, and can be spread via touch or contact with bodily fluid. SCP-217 is very hardy, and can survive for years outside the host body. The progress of the infection is very slow, with some subjects going several years before manifesting any symptoms.

"So it infects everything with a bloodstream, and it can last for years without being noticed. Wonder what it does?" Pyrrha mumbled.

"Knowing the files so far, I'd say something that would make us either angry or disgusted." The heiress informs the champion.

SCP-217 alters the biochemistry of organic tissue, causing organic matter to rearrange into a form of "organic metal". The processes involved with this change are not yet fully understood, but the advanced stages are well documented. A subject will begin to turn into a complex arrangement of gears and clockwork, these taking over for the former biological functions. Advanced-stage infection is reported to be very painful, but earlier stages are oftentimes unnoticed, with only vague feelings of confusion, insomnia, and joint stiffness. Hearts are replaced by gears and small tubes, joints by gear networks, eyes by structures not unlike primitive "hand-crank" film cameras, etc.

As the Remnants try to process what they heard, it was Yang who spoke up first. "That's what happened to me."

SCP-217 shows first on the outside of the body in all creatures except mammals. In mammals, it first converts the internal structure before manifesting outside the body. This can cause those infected to go for very long periods of time without knowing of infection. SCP-217 has even been shown to totally convert the inside of the body before showing any externally-visible symptoms. SCP-217 has infected several major metropolitan areas in the past, most notably ████████████.

"Yep, that terrify." Yang said as her friends nodded in agreement. Salem at the moment can't think of any ways to use this in her war with Ozpin, she would have to ask Watts for any ideas when she returns.

The mental state of those in middle to advanced stages of infection has been shown to be much diminished. Subjects respond in a repetitive fashion, are very dull and mechanical in action, are easily distracted and confused, and appear generally irritable when faced with new problems. In addition, research on a fully "converted" brain has [DATA EXPUNGED]

"Then what about miss Xiao Long?" Salem asks, confused by seeing the captain earlier.

"Maybe Yang's IQ can't go any lower." Weiss chimed in, getting a handful of laughs before turning around and noticing the brawler glaring at her with the golden mane on fire. It was at that moment she knew she fucked up.

Document #217-6: Notes on symptoms

Subjects infected by SCP-217 have, at early stages, reported no major symptoms, aside from increased lethargy, and a general lack of emotional response. Some have reported a feeling of "fluttering" or "moving" under the skin, coupled with a persistent "ticking" noise. This noise seems most prominent when SCP-217 infects the shoulders, neck, and head; however, it is inaudible if recording equipment is pressed against an affected area.

"That I can imagine." Ren says. "Most likely it's like having your ears ringing for no reason but it does so anyways." That made sense with his friends enough that they wouldn't question the how.

Initial infection of SCP-217 is, as has been already stated, almost undetectable. As the infection advances, subjects will begin to feel sharp, "tearing" pain in areas that are being "converted". It has been compared to a knife wound or a deep muscle tear, and can persist for hours, or several days, depending on both the subject and the area affected. The new clockwork organs appear to tear and rip at tissue for a short time, before becoming fully integrated and settling into the surrounding tissue, and this is believed to account for the pain.

Yang froze after hearing that, though her semblance lets her take damage to increase her own strength she still feels the pain. She knows she can take a large amount of force but she has no idea if she could have lasted hours with so much pain. And she just saw what happens to herself with said virus in her, the thought of her other self gone through hurts too much to imagine.

Areas infected appear to be metal, mainly brass, steel, and iron. Other substances have been reported, appearing to be leather, rubber, glass, wood, and other basic materials. Despite appearances, it is purely organic material, and even carries the subject's DNA. Organs and tissues affected appear more resilient than normal, carrying the same strength and density as the materials they resemble, instead of normal tissue density. Areas damaged repair over time, but is much slower than standard human regeneration.

"Okay, I think I can live with that." Yang said, trying to find the positive of 'herself' situation, then whispers. "At least I still look good."

Damaged areas can be instantly "repaired" by replacing damaged areas with new parts of the same type. Testing has shown that there are no ill effects if parts made from normal materials (steel, wood, leather) replace the existing bio-mechanical clockworks.

"Cool, I'm a Bionicle." Yang started only to get a look from Jaune.

"Wait, you remember Bionicle?" Jaune asks, getting a nod from the girl. "Holy crap! Which set was your favorite?"

"Hmm. Me it was the Piraka while Rubes was… The underwater Toa?" The Red Reapers gives a thumbs up. "What about you?"

"Makuta in Mata Nui."

"No, shit!"

"Man, too bad they ruin it with the reboot."

"Ugh, don't remind us!" Ruby calls out with everyone else in the room extremely confused, all while Xion writes some notes down.

Most alarming, people infected with SCP-217 can continue for months, even years, without being detected. With infection so easy to spread, hundreds could be affected before proper containment could be enforced. Infection appears to spread most quickly in large offices, malls, and other large concentrations of people.

"Welp, good thing that doesn't exist in Remnant than." Pyrrha sighs.

Note: Anything or anyone suspected or confirmed to be infected with SCP-217 is NOT to be allowed near SCP-882.

"What's that one, and why shouldn't I go near it?" Yang asks which Xion answers.

"You'll fine out later."

Addendum: At this time, cross-experimentation between SCP-229 and SCP-217 is allowed only with O5 approval.

"And that one?" Ren asks.

"Is a mass of wires and cables that activates when anything electrical comes near it." The doctor says.

The screen returns to Yang who has a cocky grin before speaking. "Hope you enjoyed the file, I have some work to do. Hopefully we'll see each other again." Yang winked before the recording ended.

"If she is a captain, then she most likely has some paperwork to do." Weiss says.

Yang's eyes widen before shouting. "Noooo!"

The scene changes to a medical room where a semi-mechanical Yang with the infection around her limbs as she sits on an examination table as a doctor in a hazmat-suit looks over their notes.

"So that's how it started." Yang said, with a sad look, Blake reaches back and places a hand on her partner's. "Thanks."

"Remarkable, and you said you don't feel any pain?" The doctor said with a male voice, though the unknown accent.

"Wait, I don't feel anything?" Yang asks.

"He said pain, I'm sure you're feeling it. Just not in the same manner as everyone else." Weiss guessed, which Yang shrugs on it.

"Yea," Yang said before looking at her arms. "Sinces I almost got grinded up by ███████. This started showing… Hows, my squad?"

"Wait, what tried to grinded my sister?" Ruby asks.

"Could be this 882 that those infected are not allowed to go to." Salem answer which was the most logical from the evidence.

"There fine, we were able to cure them. But I can't say the same for you."

"Doesn't matter, looks like I'm stuck here huh?" Yang says in a cheering tone.

Yang nods in agreement before she felt three glares from her teammates, she simply laughs but knows they'll kill her if she does that self sacrificing shit for them.

"Yes, but there is more. A friend of mine is forming a new MTF, I can ask the higher ups if it will be alright to transfer you there."

"The Iron Fist." Jaune noted.

"Thanks doc, if you can make that happen I'll owe you one." Yang leans forwards with a genuine smile.

"I'll keep you to it."

Yang laughs before a thought came to her mind, will she have to watch herself almost get grinded at some point.

Hello, thanks for leaving reviews for the previous chapter. Now for the reviews.

From Wombag1786: Yeah, almost felt the need to do that too. Good thing I can turn off my empathy... But I really don't like that when I write so it was torture. As for the face, because that's where you see all the little emotions when you kill them. I add that because, come on, Karma a bitch.

Thanks for writing Wombag1786

From Wall Maria's time master: I refused to eat when I was working on that chapter. About half of those four, I'm actually have some SCPs that I'm sure most people don't even know.

Thanks for writing Wall Maria's time master

From Combine117: Thanks for the imaginary, *Gives the finger* and before I was about to have Chinese with my sister no less.

Thanks for writing Combine117

From OmaewaMushinderu: Glad I got you something new but whats a "GoI" and "Gamers Against Weebs", also I think you mean Sepernts Hand right?

Thanks for writing OmaewaMushinderu

From SombraZorro70: First off, I wish I could pull a punch. But here and in real life... Anyways, yes they haven't because they haven't seen my files yet.

Thanks for writing SombraZorro70

From Qu Pai Zheng Mian: Why, thank you. And as much as I would love for SCP-999 to take part, sadly the O-5 council canceled that request. As for more safer, I feel like Jaune and Nora's entires would help ease you in.
