Hello internet - and welcome back to the most inquisitive channel on YouTube - Life’s
Biggest Questions, the place where all roads lead to the SCP Foundation - and we’re still
painstakingly scratching our head, trying to figure out what the hell this thing is.
What’s going on guys - as per usual, I’ll be your disembodied floating voice Jack Finch,
as we comply fully with the special containment procedures, thoroughly wash our hands and
check there’s nothing malignant lingering on our sneakers - and curiously ask the question,
What If SCP 610 Was Real?
Uhh - by now you know we’ve plumbed the depths of the Foundation’s archives - and
yet, as we’ve found time and time again - there’s always something ominously lurking
it’s creepy head that throws us off balance and forces us to reevaluate our moral principles
- as well as some critical hygiene habits.
Well - how’s a contagious, unstoppable skin disease that wants nothing more than to recruit
you into its fleshy, grotesque ranks?
Yeah - let me introduce you to SCP 610 - and boy, I really hope we’re ready for this
one.
Before we do that though guys - you know the drill by now, if you’re a fan of this video,
the SCP Foundation, or just Life’s Biggest Questions in general - then be a dear and

If you’d like to get in touch with myself, Charlotte, Rebecca - and the creative team
here at LBQ - then feel free to take a peek at the info box down below.
On with the show.
As the record states - SCP 610 is a Keter class entity - which currently has no known
containment procedure, because - the bleak reality is that due to the vast area of infection
that this skip covers - containment is actually impossible.
Instead, isolation of a known infected area - which primarily exists in rural areas of
Russia - has proved to be far more effective than blindly attempting to tackle the skip.
Permission by the Russian government has been granted to establish a perimeter around the
infected area to strictly keep people out under the guise of military operations.
While it may not seem it though, there’s much more to this skip than meets the eye.
Reports of 610 first came direct from the Russian government, who had received intel
on a string of disappearances of farmers in the infected region - followed by police officers,
and a government dispatched agent.
The military were later called to intervene, but quickly withdrew when they discovered
what was lurking there - at which point, The Foundation was contacted to investigate.
The area that SCP 610 covers is close to Lake Baikal in Southern Siberia - and the worrying
thing is, despite containment efforts - this thing is spreading.
At first look, SCP 610 appears to be a contagious skin disease that inhibits several initial
symptoms - a rash, itching and increased skin sensitivity.
Within three hours, the disease will causes heavy blemishes that resemble scar tissue
- which form in the chest and arm areas, and quickly spread to the legs and back.
All victims have been consumed completely within five hours of exposure - after which,
their life functions cease for several minutes - before they involuntarily resuscitate and
exhibit rapid physical activity.
That's when the Keter class stuff starts happening - and the scar tissue of the victim starts
to move on its own accord and grow at a rapid rate.
SCP 610 is also known as The Flesh That Hates - an anomalous entity with the soul purpose
to consume the world into a writhing mass of skin and sinew.
Victims of SCP 610 rapidly degenerate into a bulbous creature - growing grotesque extra
limbs, stretching and contorting into a dermatological beast.
They’re super gross, really - so much so that I nearly threw up my lunch when researching
this script.
That’s what it’ll do to ya.
And somewhere in Southern Siberia, there’s an entire town of these things - infected
settlements, entire buildings and houses covered in the same fleshy mass - and like I said,
it’s spreading - so keep an eye out.
In actual fact though, SCP 610 is a biological weapon of the Sarkics, who worship the hateful
Yaldabaoth, the god of flesh and basic animal instinct - who is eternally opposed against
Mekhane, the god of machine and intellect.
Remember when I said there’s much more to this skip than meets the eye?
Yeah, well SCP 610 is the Sarkic’s trump card in The War of the Flesh - an ancient,
ongoing battle for the ultimate fate of humanity.
Pretty big deal, eh?
Well - we could lament over that topic in a whole other video - so for now, let’s
leave that in a neat little jar on the SCP shelf.
So - how prepared actually is our planet when facing an all consuming contagion?
Well, in actual fact - pretty damn prepared.
Modern civilization is built upon a breathable membrane of population mechanics - designed
to fulfil the physical strain put upon the planet by over 7 billion individuals.
In essence, we could just shut down shop and build bigger walls - but as Donald J. Trump
is too embarrassed to admit, it’s not that easy, is it buddy?
Granted - SCP 610 is on the extremities of world-ending diseases - so applying it’s
hypothetical wrath is difficult at best - but we only need to look at recent real world
outbreaks, such as the Ebola 2018 outbreak - to see how the international emergency committee
responds.
Robustly - and although the tragic loss of life is most often the price, containment
is painstakingly inevitable.
Let’s say things get really, really bad though - and the Foundation fails to keep
a lid on the devastating contagion.
From it’s Southern Siberian ground zero site - SCP 610 spreads across the South Eastern
landmass of Asia, down through Mongolia, North and South Korea - potentially Japan - and
its first major scalp, China.
China has the largest resources available in Asia to combat SCP 610 - and if it fell,
then the majority of Asia would fall, along with the Middle East - most of Africa, and
eventually continental Europe.
As of now, we’ve no idea how SCP 610 fares in water, nevermind an ocean - so the United
Kingdom would be crossing their fingers and hoping these flesh monsters can’t figure
out how to swim.
Eh, that sounds about right.
Unfortunately folks, that’s all we’ve got time for in today's video - cheers for
sticking around all the way to the end.
