Object Class: Keter

Residing Agent: Finn Mertenz

WARNING: The following files are restricted to clearance level 4 and higher personnel, any unauthorized person accessing this file must close this document before turning themselves in and receiving Class-A Amnestics; following the injection, all unauthorized persons are to be detained for a period of 48 hours after which time they will be questioned then released and observed for a final 24 hours.

General Notice: In order to prevent knowledge of SCP-6006 from being leaked, several/no SCP-6006 files have been created alongside the true file/files. All files concerning the nature of SCP-6006, including the decoy/decoys, are restricted to any unauthorized personnel attempting to access the file.

Revealing the true nature/natures of SCP-6006 to the general public is cause for termination, except as required under order [REDACTED]-[REDACTED]-[REDACTED]


YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-6006 is impossible to contain with currently available resources; all Foundation efforts are currently directed at regulating its presence and suppressing public knowledge of its existence.

Approximately [REDACTED] Foundation tracking teams are permanently stationed outside a 800,000 km (498,000 miles) radius safe zone from SCP-6006, each are equipped with large unmanned aerial and aquatic vehicles that can be used in case SCP-6006 enters an active state/escorts require assistance.

Due to the close proximity between SCP-6006 and SCP-605, tracking teams for each SCP are required to operate and work together - it should be noted that while no direct correlation between SCP-6006 and SCP-605 can be made, they appear to have some type of positive effect on the other.

Since the containment zone is so large no less than [REDACTED] number of personnel, escorts and patrols are allowed inside the containment zone of SCP-6006 at anytime, failure to maintain these numbers will result in increasing hostility from SCP-6006, who will preceive the action as weakness, forcing it to attack.

Any citizens or personnel below clearance level 4 who look at or spot an instance of SCP-6006 are to be given class-D Amnestics before being detained for period of 72 hours until they are questioned and then released following standard protocall.

Description: SCP-6006 is a race of nocturnal, carnivorous humanoid/serpentine-like aquatic reptiles, classified in the Varanidae family alongside Komodo dragon's and the now extinct Megalania. Adults range in size from 1.5 to 3 m (5 to 10 ft) in height, and weigh between 90 and 270 kg (200 - 600 lbs) while they possess grey, brown, black, blue, purple, red, green and occasionally white scales.

The lower portion of SCP-6006 typically consists of a serpentine tall whose appearance, width and length are strictly determined by the sex of SCP-6006. The upper torso consists of a human shaped chest, abdomen, shoulders and arms, all of which are covered in a series of scales.

The differences between the sexes for SCP-6006 are [REDACTED], with females attaining a significantly higher intellect than males while males maintain strength fair greater than females. These effects appear to have a direct result on their society as evidenced by [REDACTED]

The 2 most profound differences between the sexes of SCP-6006 are the limbs and head, with males containing 2 arms while females have 4 arms with the additional 2 protruding out from both sides of the abdomen. The male head consists of a serpentine like jaw and mouth, much more resembling a human while female heads are covered in a series of tentacles that appear to constitute hair.

The weapons of SCP-6006, appear to be entirely of harden fish bone, some shaped like spears, others like swords. The full extent to the military might of SCP-6006 is unknown and pending investigation under a request by Dr. [REDACTED].

Due to the Architecture and known visible language of SCP-6006, it's suspected they're greek in origin, a prospect that members of the [REDACTED] deny because of the containment radius and area for SCP-6006, it should be noted that no verbal contact has/can be made with SCP-6006 but they're written language can be translated with time.

Because of the humanoid-like appearance of SCP-6006, it is believed that they evolved alongside ancient humans and existed contemporaneously with them in large numbers until 2,000-5,000 years ago, when an extinction event eliminated all but 5-10% of their population.

This event triggered the island that housed SCP-6006 to sink to the bottom of the sea, at the approximate coordinates of [REDACTED]-[REDACTED] is where the main city and capital for SCP-6006 is believed to be located atop the ocean floor. It should be noted that no information on how the previous humans morphed into the current state of SCP-6006 can be attained. (See SCP-6006-1 for further details)

Although the suspected capital of SCP-6006 is known, no accurate means have been provided to count or number SCP-6006, but it is suspected that there are over [REDACTED] Instances of SCP-6006, suggesting they could easily overwhelm nations such as Cuba, Japan, Australia and even Great Britain.

Even though the containment radius and zone for SCP-6006 is approximately [REDACTED] and located at [REDACTED], instances of SCP-6006 occurr worldwide, extending from [REDACTED] to as far as [REDACTED], however, it is believed that all instances of SCP-6006 drag humans or SCP-6006-1 to they're capital at [REDACTED].

Any direct skin-contact made between SCP-6006 and Humans will cause a genetic level disease to be passed on, a disease that causes physical and mental augmentations over a period of 72 hours before the Human turns into what is classified as SCP-6006-1

One of the most well known versions of SCP-6006-1 can best described and explained in the popular book by H.P Lovecraft, The Shadow Over Innsmouth, infact it was this book that first brought SCP-6006 under the direct attention of the Foundation when Dr. [REDACTED] decided to investigate the town Innsmouth was based off of.

SCP-6006-1 Is a fish-like humanoid which were born Human only to be mutated/affected by SCP-6006, after a Human is exposed to SCP-6006-1 over a period of 72 hours, they will then grow an uncontrollable urge to swim out into the ocean, a process made easy due to the patchs of scales and webbed feet that SCP-6006-1 gives the infected.

SCP-6006-1 Is the furthest known extent that a natural born human can reach towards SCP-6006, the longest known time of containment and observation for a instance of SCP-6006-1 is approximately 6 years, 4 months, 1 week and 3 days, it should be noted that if any known instance of SCP-6006-1 is denined water for a period of 24 hours or more then that SCP-6006-1 will expire before its corpse shrivels up and dries.

Foundation research is unable to attain whether these instances of SCP-6006-1 serve SCP-6006 willingly or if it is some type of mind control/hypnosis. The easiest way to identify an SCP-6006-1 is by their eyes, which widen in diameter while the Irsis for each eye turns a shade of bright-green.

Although all instances of SCP-6006-1 were infected by SCP-6006, there is no evidence suggesting SCP-6006-1 can spread the infection, which lead members of the [REDACTED] to believe SCP-6006-1 should be classified as spies or saboteurs.

After [REDACTED] years of researching SCP-6006, the Foundation realized the full reach of SCP-6006 once the endlessly list of 'Shipwrecks' continued to rise, wrecks that were faked when vessels like [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] were attacked and sunk at sea.

The most recent attack at sea by SCP-6006 was duringJune [REDACTED] when an Indonesia vessel was carrying refugees to safety from a storm on the [REDACTED] Islands. What followed was the death of 491 citizens while only 10 would survive, these survivors would go on to supply us with the most substainal evidence to date about SCP-6006 before they were given Class-D Amnestics and released after standard protocall.

Addendum: Atlantis, thats what the newbie's love to call it, fresh on the floor and still high from being given clearance level 4. Frankly, I don't care about the Atlantis legend/myth at all, all that matters is proper containment and supression of SCP-6006, anything else is secondary.

Document Alpha-6006-Hierarchy-investigations: Missive from Agent Finn Mertenz

SCP-6006 are one of them most hostile instances of SCP I personally have worked with in all my 22 years of research, while similar to SCP-1000 in many aspects it would appear that the existence of SCP-6006 is directly opposed to humanity, a case which has kept them classified as Keter class for over 70 years.

The hierarchy for SCP-6006 is based solely on the sex of SCP-6006, with what appears to be an immortal queen leading the society. This queen is worshipped as a God and protector, with every known city and housing unit of SCP-6006 containing a statue to her, it should be noted that the statues range from various different shapes and sizes depending on the location.

Going forward, the queen for SCP-6006 will be labeled as SCP-6006-A, it should be known that any human, robot or even animal with a statue or depiction of SCP-6006-A visible, will be completely unharmed and untouched, which has allowed the Foundation to save several dozens of unmaned submarines while exploring the capital of SCP-6006.

Verbal contact with SCP-6006 is unauthorized, physical contact with SCP-6006 is unauthorized, visual contact with SCP-6006 is unauthorized, due to the biological danger SCP-6006 poses and since all types of containment are limited to patrols, escorts and supression, members of the 05 council believe that before the year 2050, SCP-6006 will threaten humanity, either by direct means or genetic means.

Close this SCP and throw away the datacode, better our children think they're future is bright and sunny - not the abomination that SCP-6006 is, end log.
