For task force tau-9 agent Officer Mills, it was a day like any other.
He was about to leave work and begin his two-week vacation on some
nearby island. The office was normally quiet at this hour, but
today felt different. He started to get restless and needed to stretch
his legs. He stopped staring at his computer screen and stepped out of
the building to get some fresh air. Mills walked out to the parking
lot. He reached into his pocket to pull out a piece of nicotine gum,
when a lightning bolt struck in the distance. The sonic wave from the
strike shook the ground around it. Officer Mills jumped and looked
over to see what had happened. Then, an intense seismic wave
ripped through the asphalt, and a nearby power line exploded as it
was ripped from the ground. Trees stretched from the ground as heavy
winds kicked up. The task force tau-9 alarm blared from the
building. Mills knew from the sound of the alarm this was not some
freak natural disaster. He froze with fear and couldn’t help but
watch as a mammoth snake-like creature erupted from under the
earth. The clouds opened above it, and rain showered down on the
serpent. Mills knew his vacation was over...
Welcome to SCP Exposed. Today, we bring you Tiamat-class subject
number six zero zero four, also known as the rainbow serpent, but
before we begin, be sure to leave a like and hit the notification bell,
so you don’t miss out on any future SCP cases.
SCP six zero zero four is a colossal snake-like being,
measuring anywhere from point two kilometers to nineteen hundred
kilometers in length. Its appearance resembles a variety of
the ophidian, an ancestor of the modern snake. Its color is
predominantly black, with multi-colored stripes running along
the length of its body, with its underside being a pale white. Six
zero zero four has a pair of horns on its head with thousands of
engravings depicting various forms of wildlife.
Despite its size, SCP six zero zero four is capable of traveling at
impressive speeds, ranging from approximately seven hundred fifty
miles per hour on land, and up to seventeen hundred miles per hour
when underwater. Due to these speeds, its movement has been known
to cause tusnamis and tectonic plates to shift. It is also capable
of delivering massive sonic concussions both in and out of
water. Six zero zero four exhibits
physical abilities vastly beyond what its size suggests. Its bite
force alone has the power to crush Key units, pulverizing mountains,
and even throw the SCP itself into the first layer of the atmosphere.
When at this altitude, the rainbow serpent can fly in a similar manner
to how it swims. As six zero zero four maintains a
state of consciousness, it is able to control weather patterns and
atmospheric conditions on a global scale. It does this by exerting a
gradual cooling effect on the earth. The side effects of this
ability cause increased snowfall in colder areas of earth, increased
rain in the more arid areas, and thunderstorms globally. It has been
observed that the rain that comes from six zero zero four can also
spontaneously generate plant life. The flora grown from this water
grows rapidly and can pose a threat to humans.
If the SCP senses any danger, usually in response to outside
stimulus or perhaps even it's own emotional state, it will attack
using thunderstorms, hurricanes, torrential rain, and enormous tidal
waves it generates. The radius of these natural disasters is
devastating, known to damage cities, underground mines, and
nuclear power plants. Six zero zero four will usually resort to using
its forces in nature to deter
before actually striking physically.
Early behavior of the subject suggests its first known location
was somewhere near the Australian border. During this initial time,
thunderstorms covered thousands of square miles of rural farmland,
forests, and urban populaces. Large areas of major cities were
destroyed. The trace compounds found in the anomalous rains that
come from it were monitored forming over areas affected by drought and
deforestation, which was then tracked expanding outward from this
origin point. In the mission to rescue and aid
those affected by the natural disaster event, the foundation
mobilized several sites with the global occult coalition forces
offering support. After determining the SCP to be the cause of the
strange weather events, The foundation made multiple attempts
to neutralize six zero zero four; all of them unsuccessful. In
response, six zero zero four attacked a human settlement. It was
the first recorded attack on human beings by the SCP.
On March 27, 2020, the test subject launched a direct attack on the
city of Canberra in Australia. At 10:47 AM, instense thunderstorms
began to form over the city, and winds were recorded moving at over
86 miles per hour. SCP six zero zero four then descended from the
sky and began to strike and bite the city, causing severe casualties
and immense infrastructural damage. The SCP then targeted the
Parliament house. Occupants from within the building were seen thrown
into the air by the serpent at great force. The attack prompted
response from numerous foundation mobile task forces, but by the time
any had arrived on scene, six zero zero four was already gone, taking
three-quarters of the city with it. Media reports covered the SCP’s
involvement, and blamed the catastrophe on an asteroid impact.
Debris and human bodies were later found orbiting earth.
Despite numerous attempts by the foundation and GOC to neutralize or
contain the SCP, it continued its attacks on human settlements,
mostly targeting large cities,
fossil fuel mines, power plants, and areas of intense pollution.
After these attacks, the test subject is monitored traveling to
certain locations, where it regurgitates consumed materials.
Readings indicate these locations to have extremely fertile soil and
dramatically increased wildlife populations.
Due to the high level of power the SCP possesses, as well as danger to
the foundation, six zero zero four is unable to be contained until
either strong enough containment cells are produced, or it enters a
dormant state of its own will. Instead, current containment
procedures detail the preparation for when such a time comes, and
minimalizing the collateral of the aftermath.
In order to avoid drawing the future attention of the SCP, all
foundation sites have greatly reduced pollution and carbon
emissions, with plans to switch to solar, geothermal, or nuclear power
as soon as possible. SCP six zero zero four is to be
monitored at all times via functional satellite imagery, with
additional satellites to be produced by world governments if
needed. Information such as its location, direction, speed of
movement, and activities are routinely logged. In the event of
large-scale attack, these reports are to be delivered to global task
forces upon request. In late February, the foundation,
GOC, and a major sect of the Church of the Broken God reached a truce
during negotiations on how to get six zero zero four under control.
They began development on experimental weaponry which
theoretically shares many of the same metaphysical characteristics
of six zero zero four in an attempt to finally neutralize the subject.
This project was later known as Project Mongoose.
To this day, SCP six zero zero four has not been seen. Researchers
believe it is due to the decreased carbon emissions as of late...
What did you think of this SCP’s case? let us know in the comments,
and tell us which SCP you’d like to see in future videos. As always,
we’ll see you again same time next time with another new case.
Thanks for watching.
