SCP 601.
The 12.
The Cult.
A dozen humanoids who live and speak in unison.
A group able to absorb literary ideas and concepts and a group able to turn your average
human like you or me into one of them.
What are they and what would their existence mean for the world?
Stay tuned as this channel loves bringing you answers.
Hello and welcome back to Life’s Biggest Questions – a channel that loves a deep
dive through the hallowed halls of the SCP foundation!
I am your host Rebecca Felgate and today I am asking What If SCP 601 was real?
Before we get into this video I want to ask you what your favourite SCP is if you have
one….
A lot of people are all about SCP 999 – the cute sweet tickle monster.
I hear you, I really do.
I think its cute although I do not like being tickled!
Also while you are down there, why don’t you hit that thumbs up button and share this
video with a friend.
Stick around to the end where I will be reading comments from a previous video.
SO, SCP 601.
The 12.
This is not one but 12 organisms that live and move together, but are still singular
entities in themselves.
They speak together and think together, they eat together but through their own mouths,
and they sleep in separate beds but all in the same room.
They are as close as a group could be.
Closer than the angels of the OA.
The group are made up of 12 adults of varying ages, genders and ethnicities.
They are all in containment together and under Constant surveillance.
Their unison is a matter of survival… if one part of SCP 601 moves 5 meters away from
the rest, it would drops dead.
A new human is taken in as part of the 12.
A new subject is identified and all remaining 11 entities will approach it and turned into
the 12th part of SCP601 by placing their hands on a persons head.
Strange.
Stranger still, the SCP SPEAKs at all times, unless sleeping, eating or drinking.
Dramatic narration of any event happening within a 4k radius.
They converse in a multitude of languages, extinct or current.
Also strange is the SCP’s relationship with food.
The group are not to be fed any meat, if they are, they create open flames to burn it.
When presented with a drink each, they will pour a few sips of it on to the floor before
they drink it.
WEIRD WEIRD WEIRD.
The mystery continues, of course… this is the SCP foundation after all!
The foundation notes mention a mysterious experiment named 601 0135 which has had its
data expunged.
Of course.
One experiment left in the notes added further intrigue – it seems that the SCP was presented
with a copy of Alice Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll and hours later they were
found all wearing red chess piece costumes and speaking in verses from the novel.
OKAY listen the theatre girl in me is like… very here for this.
Never mind the whole has the ability to turn a human into a zombie think….
Like….
12 is a great number for a stage play and 601 seems primed and prepped to perform…
they don’t have to learn lines, they absorb them…and they can magically manifest their
costumes, which saves on budget.
Watching 601 would be waaaay more entertaining than big brother, or, sorry KIMYE, but Keeping
up with the Kardashians…this would be some high brow theatrical reality TV – get those
surveillance cams live streaming!
One of the shows sponsors of COURSE would be PETA – the people for ethical treatment
of animals…because for this troupe meat free Monday’s is EVERY DAY….although I
suppose there is some irony there…it isn’t exactly ethical to keep 12 people locked in
a glass box and live stream them for world entertainment.
Something about people in glass houses and stones….
And that is one glass box you do not want to be breached.
It sounds like the SCP foundation has a handle on the situation – what with the feeding
and containing etc… and literally life with SCP 601 as a reality would be fine, so long
as they stayed contained…they seem pretty content doing their thing in their culty group
of 12.
BUT should they break out and start getting separated….
Well… that is when they would start dying and then replacing each other with other unison
zombies.
Hang on a little second though… if SCP 601 was real I would be really worried… not
massively because of what they are, but more what they can do.
Right now 12 is their magic number… but where exactly did the SCP come from?
The foundation notes inherited the troupe from a prior organization.
Um.
Sketchy.
What if they got loose and decided they wanted to expand their cult?
They have the power to turn anyone into part of their SCP Squad… so …we could really
all be in danger.
What would stop them turning everyone they come across into performing zombies.
I have a theory… so if you are from the SCP foundation… listen up…or so I would
say if they were real…uhhm…anyway.
My theory is that SCP 601 was a creation from the Scarlett King himself…sound like the
kind of whimsical thing he would do in the pursuit of a little entertainment.
I think the purpose of the SCP is to slowly expand and become a theatrical cult, performing
at the whim of the king when he tired of the monotony of his court.
He would probably love to see nothing more than the whole world standing together citing
King Lear or better yet…Macbeth.
I am not supposed to say this and I do value my free will pretty highly… but being part
of a theatrical cult that can summon its own costumes and talks in performative union…..actually
sounds kind of…fun.
Would you wanna join the troupe?
Let me know.
A little side thought for you….when I was researching – I found evidence of another
SCP 601 that may have existed before this one…this was very different, it was called
the gloam and was found in the sewers of a chemical plant, was a biohazard but was itself
poisoned by fresh air – that SCP seems to be gone now…which leads me to question…
can they be ..er..killed?
And is that something we would want to do….
Back to the whole ethics thing again…and…well… what are the wider implications of getting
rid of an SCP?
Ah, as always….asking questions often leads to even more questions, and such is
the circle of curiosity!
Let me know If you have any answers !
Like share - Comments from what if SCP 2675 was real - that
was the nautical nuisance if you all remember!

Yaaaaah but this ghosts ship had ghost nuclear guns!
