SCP-500

SCP-500, nicknamed "Panacea" by the SCP Foundation, is a bottle of red pills with the capability of curing any illness or condition beset on a living being.Entry Page: 500
==Attributes==
SCP-500 is a small plastic can filled with, at the time of writing, forty-seven red pills. These pills are capable of curing any natural or anomalous disease within two hours, though the length of time depends on the severity of the condition. Synthesizing 500's active ingredient has been deemed near impossible after several extensive trials.
==History==
At some point, SCP-500 came into the possession of the SCP Foundation and its capabilities were discovered. As a result of its limited quantity (sixty at the time), requests are required to be able to use any amount of 500.
===Testing with 500===
====SCP-008====
Two pills were authorized for use with SCP-008, lowering the quantity to fifty-seven pills. After a series of tests on two late stage SCP-008-1 D-Class subjects, it was discovered that one whole pill can enable an instance to recover fully. A Scientific Department doctor identified by code-name 500-0021D wrote an addendum on 500's SCiPnet page detailing this. The number of SCP-500 was lowered to fifty-seven after this test.
====SCP-409====
An SCP-500 pill was used in testing involving 409, being used to cure Subject 409-D5 who was exposed to the crystal and came under its effects. The number of pills lowered to fifty-six at the time of writing.
====Request 500-1774-k====
A doctor identified by code-name 500-0022F filled a request for one pill for use in tests involving SCP-038, which granted the use of five pills. This test discovered that 038 was able to clone 500, but its chance of perfect healing dropped significantly over time. When the condition is permanent, the cloned 500 pill usually does not eradicate it, but progression is permanently halted.Entry Page: 038 Cloned pills are currently rationed out by personnel with progressive diseases. No original pills were consumed in this procedure, so the number remained the same at fifty-six.
During further experimentation with SCP-038, Class-D D-██████ stole one pill to cure a hangover. He was then terminated, before protocols were changed to have stricter controls for samples in testing. The number was reduced to fifty-five at this point.
====SCP-231====
One pill was used during testing with SCP-231-4, one of the seven brides of the Scarlet King. While the consumption of the pill was successful at expelling the fetus inside 231-4, the remains immediately underwent a █████████████ Event that resulted in 231-4's death, as well as numerous personnel.Entry Page: 231 The pill number was reduced to fifty-four.
====SCP-447====
One pill of 500 was granted for experimentation with SCP-447. After covering it in SCP-447-2, the pill left a minty breath in the subject's mouth after consumption.Experiment Log 447 A The number of pills was reduced to fifty-three.
====SCP-208====
A pill of 500 was used for comparison between the healing effects of SCP-208 and SCP-500. 500 was proven to be a far superior healer, though 208 commented that he was far better at jokes than 500.Entry Page: 208 Fifty-two pills remained after this experiment.
====Request 500-1862-b====
Dr. Charles Gears requested a 500 pill for use in experimentation with SCP-914; this was granted. This lowered the number to fifty-one pills. Dr. Ouros ran this 500 pill in 914 on the Fine setting, resulting in the creation of SCP-427.Experimental Log 914
====Olympia Project====
Five pills were requisitioned for use in Dr. Kain Pathos Crow's Olympia Project. Only two were used, both in the use of SCP-914 on selected D-Class women on 1:1 and Fine settings, respectively. The first proved to be a failure, resulting in the creation of a predatory creature that attempted to consume a nearby researcher named Kenneth before it was tranquilized. The second resulted in a woman whose lymphatic system was greatly enhanced, enabling it to heal at astonishing rates.Experimental Log 914 Theta As only two were used, this resulted in forty-nine pills left over.
==== Experiment 217-█████-█████ ====
Two pills were utilized in this experiment. Forty-seven pills remained.
==== Mental compulsion investigation ====
An unidentified doctor requested to use an SCP-500 pill in the investigation of a theorized mental compulsion leading to fixation. This was denied, as it was too trivial to warrant the use of such a finite material.
====Request 500-2354-f====
Dr. █████████ requested the use of one SCP-500 pill in use for testing with SCP-253, which was denied.
====Request 500-5667-e====
Dr. Gibbons requested two pills for his own medical kit, which was swiftly denied.
==== SCP-590 ====
A pill was given to SCP-590 after he was put on life support due to the accumulated illnesses he suffered.Entry Page: 590
=== Protocol change ===
At some point, Dr. Klein made a memo declaring that only Level 3 personnel can interact with SCP-500, forbidding the use of 500 for temporary things such as a hangover. Instead, he gave an example to use 500 in the case of terminal diseases, such as AIDS.
==Containment procedures==
SCP-500 is stored in a cool, dry place away from bright light. It may only be accessed with Level 4 clearance, though Level 3 personnel can make requests to utilize a pill in experimentation.
