Item #: SCP-500
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-500 must be stored in a cool and dry place away from bright light. SCP-500 is only allowed to be accessed by personnel with level 4 security clearance to prevent misapplication.
Description: SCP-500 is a small plastic can which at the time of writing contains forty-six (46) red pills. One pill, when taken orally, effectively cures the subject of all diseases within two hours, exact time depending on the severity and amount of the subject's conditions. Despite extensive trials, all attempts at synthesizing more of what is thought to be the active ingredient of the pills have been unsuccessful.
Note From Dr. █████:
SCP personnel below Level 3 are now banned from handling SCP-500. This is not to be used to [DATA EXPUNGED]. Get AIDS and then ask permission.
Request 500-1774-k
Dr. [500-0022F] has requested one (1) SCP-500 pill for testing with SCP-038. Request has been approved.
Request 500-1862-b
Dr. Gears has requested one (1) SCP-500 pill for testing in SCP-914. Request has been approved.
Request 500-2354-f
Dr. █████████ has requested one (1) SCP-500 pill for testing with SCP-253. Request denied.
Request 500-5667-e
Dr. Gibbons has requested two (2) pills of SCP-500 for his personal medkit. Request denied.
Addendum 500-1: Two (2) pills have been authorized for use with SCP-008. As a result of conducting a series of tests on Class D subjects infected with SCP-008, it appears that even in the most advanced stages of the disease one whole pill will accomplish full recovery. Number of pills is fifty-seven (57) at the time of writing. - Dr. [500-0021D]
Addendum 500-2: One (1) pill has been authorized for use with SCP-409. SCP-500 was tested on Subject 409-D5 who was exposed to the effects of SCP-409. Complete recovery accomplished. See Addendum 409-1. Number of pills is fifty-six (56) at the time of writing. - Dr. [500-0021D]
Addendum 500-4: Request 500-1774-k approved. Five (5) pills have been used in experimentation with SCP-038. It has been determined that SCP-038 is capable of duplicating SCP-500; however, the success of the duplicated pills is limited. The duplicated pills are only effective in curing the subject 30% of the time, with chance of successful healing dropping as time since cloned increases. In 60% of the cases where the infection is permanent, symptoms of infection remain, though further infestation is neutralized. Repeated dosing with SCP-038 cloned pills is recommended for all personnel suffering from incurable conditions, as supply of SCP-500 remains extremely limited. All five (5) used samples of SCP-500 were returned. Number of pills is fifty-six (56) at the time of writing.
Addendum 500-5: During experiments with SCP-038, one (1) pill was stolen by personnel D-██████ to, reportedly, [DATA EXPUNGED]. Stricter controls for samples of SCP-500 given to other projects is suggested. Personnel D-██████ has been terminated. Number of pills is fifty-five (55) at the time of writing.
Addendum 500-6: One (1) pill has been used with SCP-231-4. Number of pills is fifty-four (54) at the time of writing.
Addendum 500-7: One (1) pill has been used for Experiment 447-a. Number of pills is fifty-three (53) at the time of writing.
Addendum 500-8: One (1) pill has been used with SCP-208. Number of pills is fifty-two (52) at the time of writing.
Addendum 500-9: Request 500-1862-b approved. One (1) pill of SCP-500 is placed within SCP-914 with the setting at "Fine". Resulting object classified as SCP-427. Number of pills is fifty-one (51) at the time of writing.
Addendum 500-10: Five (5) pills have been taken for the Olympia Project although only two (2) were used. The remaining three (3) will be returned shortly. Upon return, number of pills will be forty-nine (49).
Addendum 500-11: Two (2) pills have been used for Experiment 217-█████-█████. Number of pills is forty-seven (47) at the time of writing.
Addendum 500-12: Request to have SCP-500 investigated for mental compulsion leading to obsessive fixation denied for triviality.
Addendum 500-13: One (1) pill has been used in a attempt to duplicate the pill by a duplication spell preformed by Dr. Candenza. Test resulted in pill being split in half. Number of pills is forty-six (46) at the time of writing.
"Hmm..." Twilight said as she read the page. "So, it can cure everything?"
"That's what we believe. Further tests are waiting approval."
"Well, why can't we use this to cure everybody? Can't we use a duplication spell?"
"We tried. It didn't work. All that happened was the pill splitting into two. But I'm pretty sure you read that." Cadance said.
"I did." she told her. "I just don't understand why it didn't work."
"Me neither." Cadance said. "I guess that it's magic resistant, or something."
"Well, can it cure cancer?"
"Probably. We may be able to find out. With my aunt's approval."
Cadance took a sip of her coffee. "I heard about that 'incident' with SCP-008."
"Yeah. Only one of them survived. D-9341."
"D-9341? I went over his report. Changeling robbed a bank. Shot 4 guards. Death row." Cadance stated.
"Really."
"Yep."
"Wonder what he's doing now..."
"Probably sitting in his cell, bored out of his mind."
...
"Wait, why would you want to know that?"
Twilight looked up. Why would she? He's just a dirty cop killer. Why would she be concerned?
"Do you like him?"
"Wh-what!? That's ridiculous! Of course I don't!" Twilight exclaimed, blushing.
"Really? Then why are you blushing?" Cadance asked.
Twilight was redder than a tomato. "Well, I guess he is kind of handsome..." she said, not making eye contact.
"I knew it. You like him!" Cadance said smiling.
"I don't. I just think he's handsome. Nothing serious." Twilight said as her cheeks returned to her normal shade of purple.
"He is handsome. Sorry if I made you uncomfortable."
"It's fine. Can we see 500?"
"Sure. I won't let you take any though."
"Don't worry, I understand the rules."
Cadance led Twilight to the Light Containment Zone. They went to 500's chamber.
The sign at the door said:
SCP-500
Object Class: Safe
Strangely, there was no hazard sign.
There was a metal safe, in a small room that was dimly lit. The observatory room had two main buttons: Chamber Door, and Safe Door.
Twilight pressed both buttons. She went in as Cadance watched. Twilight picked up the plastic can. It was labeled "Pills". she opened the can and picked up one of the 46 pills. She inspected it, and then placed it back inside.
"Interesting. I'll definitely have to test this sometime. I have a great idea! Maybe using one of these to cure diseases from SCP-1025!"
"That's actually a good idea. I'll check that later."
They walked to the cafeteria.
"Ever wonder how 500 was made?" Twilight asked.
"All the time. We're trying to figure that out." Cadance replied.
"If you do, you may be able to save thousands-no, millions-of lives."
"We better get cracking then."
