There are no good guys in the war between the Sarkics and Mekanites, no matter who won humanity would be irreversibly changed in countless possible ways for better and worse but what is considered 'human' is null and void in all scenarios. In some scenarios the Sarkics win and create a nightmare world of unholy abominations trapped in an endless cycle of violent death and rebirth. In others the Mekanites win but at the cost of human free will, reducing people to little more than automated droids, trapped in a loop of basic activities with no enemies left to fight. In fewer still the Sarkics create a paradise of flesh, a kind of twisted utopia where sickness is meaningless, flesh is worn and as interchangeable like clothes and everyone is happy and united but in a way that is impossible for us to understand as we are, a way that's downright horrifying and alien with no morality or society as we could tolerate it. And again in a mirror to the Sarkics the Mekanites could win through advanced technology and the abandonment of flesh, entering a total technological singularity, merging humanity and machinery into a form the Sarkic thaumaturgy can't effect, creating a global paradise of metal and computers, only to have shed a great deal of what makes humans human, our biology. Without hormones or chemicals to sway our consciousness rendered solely in artificial neurons humanity collectively effectively become a mass of AIs, unrecognizable as truly human to their flesh and blood ancestors. And then in the vast majority of cases, the pair of opposing ideologies mutually annihilate each other and all of humanity with them. Out of control plagues, grey goo scenarios, apocalyptic summonings and bio-cleansing super weapons to name a few. All in all, in the Sarkic/Mekanite canon, no matter who wins, humanity loses. The only hope is that organizations like the Foundation and their counterparts can hold the sleeping giants at bay and burn away the infections wherever they can.

Ion AcidreFlux

[@YukonHexsun]

@@Sweet.peach21 The story in my head that I know doesn't fit the horror theme, is a reformist branch of the Nälkä trying to restore Ion's original message and ultimately, save him from himself. He's a textbook case of "He who fights with monsters", and lost sight of why he was fighting. Combine that with Broken God church members that come to understand that their god broke itself ON PURPOSE, and they squander the gift of intelligence by trying to revive what was, and you've got some interesting possibilities. Both groups ultimately oppose Yaldaboth, and if they came to understand that mutual enemy and why they both oppose it, nothing could stop them. Their commonality is progress and ambition, the human desire to grow and improve. I'm biased in favor of the Nälkä though. While I'm incredibly squeamish and easily grossed out, I gotta admit I like where they could go if their minds were set the right way. I've been slowly building a culture pulling a bit from this idea, in one of my friends' tabletop games. Lots of stuff about blood magic, community, understanding yourself and others, that kinda good stuff. Early social development, stunted technological one because they didn't really *need* it.

I like the perspective given by The Maker and The Beast & A Life That Was Simple set of tales. The idea that Mekh and Yalby (gonna call em that cause of laziness) originally had a positive and somewhat symbiotic relationship. It even seemed that Yalby was even more fond of Mekh in their tale. In the end both of their falls were the result of the two misunderstanding each other, they're both radically different from one another and this led to a big clash that ended with one's shattering and the other's imprisonment. It was a mircale that they worked with each at one point. I think the main difference between Mekh and Yalby are their tones. In Mekh's tale it was described that he took Yalby's ashes to create new beings while in Yalby's tale it was said that Mekh literally took a portion of flesh out of them. Mekh is more cold and distant, Yalby is more personal and close. Probably no wonder why the SCPF prefers Mekh more.

[@blackjoker2345]

SO... What's the Sarkic/Mekanite perspective of genetic engineering? Considering it essentially turns flesh into another form of technology controlled by intelligence and reason, rather than chaotic circumstance and rituals, I don't think Yoldeboth/the Sarkics are very pleased with it's development. The church of the broken god sounds like it'd be a bit conflicted, with how the idea essentially is one of the main goals of an ancient enemy, but also de-fangs that enemy by stealing yodeboth's power to be used by mekanus

[@QuestionableObject]

Personally I wouldn't think genetic engineering fully falls into the view of either philosophy. They could both cook up reasons to approve of and promote it and both would be able to find reasons to be against it. I think out of all neo-sarkics would be most for the concept as they view the faith as a means to better their personal health and physicality so they'd be all for humanity taking the reins on their own evolution.

[@flameknightplayz2939]

Black Joker The destruction of the other, the one who wins, will determine the fate of humanity in this universe. Both are not good, sarckics want to create a flesh utopia without morality of conscience, mekanics want to create a non human utopia, technological advance and without free will. I'd choose none , both want to eat the other side and create a genetically advance society and this war is very messy and fucked up.

I don't want to be THAT guy, but being a genetist I gotta drop my comment for those that don't know much about the subject. Genetic Engineering is more akin to coding than the act of, well, engineering. We can't spawn life from nothing, we can just trigger certain changes in cells in order to have them follow our needs, and even this is limited in scope given out reduced ability to effectively select the subjects we desire. This isn't to reduce our science, but it's to clarify that it will take a bit more than a couple of decades before we are going full transhumanist through Genetic Engineering

As opposed to the anomalous nature of the SCP foundation, and anomalies in general. The small autonomous town of Anadyr in eastern Syberia retains anomalous status despite no anomalies being housed within it's borders. In 2011, Paul Steinhardt led a group of scientists that landed in Anadyr en route to an expedition into the Koryak Mountains to search for naturally occurring quasicrystals. Three quasicrystals have been found to date from the material gathered on that expedition, including icosahedrite, decagonite, a yet unnamed third natural quasicrystal, which (unlike icosahedrite and decagonite) is unlike anything ever previously synthesized in a laboratory. Steinhardt's team established that the natural quasicrystals were embedded in a meteorite that had hit Earth about 15,000 years ago. The Foundation currently holds no presence in Anadyr, though they keep tabs via information output over regular channels. The most peculiar thing about Anadyr is that it actually exists and part of this is copied directly from Wikipedia.

The reason i love sarkism is because it because it draws it lore from ancient Christian doctrine called "Gnostism" which the belief that in the beginning there were these archon entities and one was named "sarah" (wisdom) and each of diety like things had a goal that involved a like mitosis of the self, well sarah failed as she attempted to divorce her self from her self with out the "christ" this failure is a big deal as it is the reason earth and man is flawed. So sarah takes her child,the demiurge and wraps it up and hides it from the other gods, the demiurge being ignorant of its creation and of the true awesomeness of both the christ and spirituality is a flawed creator and immediately begins work on creating earth and humanity. The reason humans sin,the reason the world is hot and cold and hard and painful is our god is a failure,ignorant and stupid and arrogant. The demiuge's name is jaldibaoth(pronounced yaldaboth),the god of the flesh,he who without the christ. This is platonic gnostism. So the writers of sarkism being fucking brilliant draw from this unending fount of lore and it just gets me so wet.

Theory: The Godess of Sarkicism and The Broken God are the same being, split apart. The Godess is the mad, untamed flesh, the hungry stomach and the heart of desire. While the Broken God is the bones, the stable framework, the calm mind, the sorce of reason.

[@roberthalstead5545]

"Do what thou will shall be the whole of the Law" actually was first attributed to a Mr. Lamus, as this was the first words he spoke to Aleister Crowley. People also seem to forget that there is a second part to the phrase: "Love is the Law, love under will."

Nhurgle yep, they are clearly inspired more from the Tzimisce than the Cult of Granddad Nurgle. They don’t want to preserve life tru death, they simply want to transcend trough vicissitude

Even if the SCP Foundation has no official canon, the endless conflict between the Sarkics and Mekhanites is probably one of the most fleshed out elements of the SCP universe, given how many SCPs are tied to both cults, or at the very least are implied to have a connection such as SCP-140 and the Daevites being connected to the origin of the Sarkics. Also, when I looked up SCP-2510, I got something completely unrelated to an interdimensional portal and was instead about a teenage girl with no relationship to either cult. Apparently the SCP was replaced for some reason.

[@quicksilvertongue3248]

SCPs referenced in this episode: 2815 - Tree of Life 2480 - An Unfinished Ritual 2191 - "Dracula Factory" 2133 - Our Land, Our Bondage 0610 - The Flesh That Hates 2406 - The Colossus 2095 - The Siege of Gyaros 2075 - The Way of All Flesh 2510 - seemingly deleted or renumbered, though thankfully The Exploring Series covered its previous form in a video, "Our Broken Salvation".
