SCP-023-VN
Special Containment Procedures: All samples of SCP-023-VN found on the market are to be confiscated and stored in a locked vault in the Foundation’s storage facility. All SCP-023-VN-1 individuals are to be enrolled in appropriate rehabilitation programs. SCP-023-VN-1 that meet the selection criteria (see Addendum 2) will be included in the SCP-023-VN public verification process when necessary. Due to the limited supply of quality SCP-023-VN-1, any suitable SCP-023-VN-1 found is to be subjected to experiments when necessary.
Description: SCP-023-VN is the designation for an anomalous type of ketamine that induces euphoria that far exceeds that of other stimulants, accompanied by highly realistic hallucinations featuring an individual who has been or is currently in a romantic relationship with the user. According to the experiences of the individuals who are exposed to the stimulant, the realism of the hallucinations caused by SCP-023-VN is proportional to the dose and frequency of SCP-023-VN use, leading to an increased desire to use and a rapid escalation in drug dependency.
SCP-023-VN also induces drug tolerance to common stimulants; this leads to SCP-023-VN-1 often losing attraction to common stimulants after a period of exposure to the anomaly. On the contrary, SCP-023-VN, although does not possess any different chemical structure compared to regular ketamine, can only be effectively distinguished by individuals who have developed the drug tolerance.
Addendum 1: The supply.
The main known supply, as well the most famous one that specialises in selling SCP-023-VN, is in the One Night Stand, Nexus-13; It supplies SCP-023-VN as its main product, which is popular with a considerable number of buyers, especially those who are single after a breakup, or those who are having conflicts with their partner.
SCP-023-VN was also a product traded by Marshall, Carter & Dark for a short period. However, the supply provided by Marshall, Carter & Dark to the Foundation is not as stable as that of the One Night Stand store chain due to the seasonal nature of the company’s trading.
Up to now, the Foundation's SCP-023-VN procurement operations have been restrained due to the Nx-13's limitations. SCP-023-VN searching operations from independent sources have also been less than promising due to the scarcity of SCP-023-VN outside of Nx-13.
Addendum 2: The encounter document.
The first sample of SCP-023-VN in the public was confiscated by the Foundation from a local, “masterful” opium dealer named Doan Le Nguyen. Search operations conducted on drug dealers in the area led the Foundation to Doan Le Nguyen, who was baited into attempting to sell SCP-023-VN and was to be arrested during the transaction. However, after about 30 minutes with no sign of the subject arriving at the designated meeting area, the team shifted direction and traced to the subject's private domicile, where they found the subject using drugs, thus causing the delay. The team proceeded with the arrest and confiscated all suspicious evidence, discovering a considerable amount of illegal substances. The following interview recording was conducted after the subject had been brought to Site-35-VN and had regained consciousness:
<START OF RECORDING>
Interview staff: Dr. Thuy
Interview subject: SCP-023-VN-1 (Doan Le Nguyen)
SCP-023-VN-1 is woken up by a guard.
SCP-023-VN-1: [Dazed] Mm, ugh.
Dr. Thuy: Nice to meet you; right, Thanh?
SCP-023-VN-1: Cunt.
Dr. Thuy: Language.
SCP-023-VN-1: [Snort] Language my ass, kidnappers. Y’all undercover cops are underestimating us civillians too damn much.
Dr. Thuy: [Stern tone] Dealing, storing, and using more than a dozen stimulants, at least one of which has never been seen on the market, participating in organised drug trafficking activities… are these listed crimes enough to arrest you?
SCP-023-VN-1 went silent, seemingly shocked.
Dr. Thuy: Better now. So, where did you get this drug from?
A guard placed a pack of SCP-023-VN on the table, with a label that read ‘Mong Tuy'..
SCP-023-VN-1: Mah boss gave me that. The fuck does me hitting it have anything to do with you?
Dr. Thuy: And you've used an entire packet of it, the one you were supposed to sell?
SCP-023-VN-1: [leaning back into the chair] Yeah, well. Got bored, figured I'd have some fun.
Dr. Thuy: Bored enough to go through the whole packet, then forget our scheduled time?
SCP-023-VN-1 went completely silent. The sound of teeth grinding is audible.
Dr. Thuy: Alright, we don’t need to escalate things further. We will give you a way out, alright?
To SCP-023-VN-1’s confusion, a guard brought in a card and eight packets - one of which contained SCP-023-VN, while the remaining seven were regular ketamine.
Dr. Thuy: I think you know what to do.
SCP-023-VN-1: [In disbelief] For…for real?
Dr. Thuy: What do you mean?
SCP-023-VN-1: Y’all don’t intend to let me hit some flour, right? These are the real deals?
Dr. Thuy: All of them are authentic products. Tch, still sceptical? Alright, listen closely; what we want you to do right now is stuff your nose in them and do the shit you’re masterful at. We want you to pick out the product, the one so good it made you bail on your customers, from this pile of ketamine. Got it?
The guard removed the handcuffs from SCP-023-VN-1 as the subject went silent in shock, then handed the card to the subject.
Dr. Thuy: Well then. Enjoy your meal!
SCP-023-VN-1 went silent for a moment, then said nothing, immediately grabbing the nearest packet of powder and spilling it onto the table. The subject then used a plastic card to gather the powder into a long, messy line. The subject glanced up slightly, grimaced, and snorted loudly, then lowered their nose back to the table. Dr. Thuy signalled for the guards to open the next packets and place them in front of the subject.
Dr. Thuy: [Sarcastic tone] Whoops whoops, take it slow! those packets aren’t growing legs and running away, you know?
After aggressively inhaling all three packets, SCP-023-VN-1 showed no signs of being affected by the drug. The subject suddenly raised their head, sniffed, and asked with an annoyed tone.
SCP-023-VN-1: Hey, are these flour? Three packets, still don’t feel a single damn shit.
Dr. Thuy: [Silent] I assure you that what you’ve inhaled the entire time are the best on the market.
Before Dr. Thuy could speak further, SCP-023-VN-1 aggressively poured out another packet and continued. By the next packet, SCP-023-VN-1 appeared to be growing increasingly disinterested. Dr. Thuy ordered the guard to open a separate packet and pour out a small sample of white powder, similar to the other packets. Then, Dr. Thuy gave SCP-023-VN-1 a look, signalling for the subject to sniff it. The subject suddenly sprang up, causing the nearby guard to immediately draw their baton, ready to strike. Ignoring this, SCP-023-VN-1 raised both hands in the air and exclaimed excitedly.
SCP-023-VN-1: DAMN! TIGHT, TIGHT, TIGHT, YEAH! MOTHERFUCKER, GOOD! GOOD! GOOD! ME INHALE THE ENTIRE THING, FINE!?
Without waiting for Dr. Thuy to continue, SCP-023-VN-1 kept opening the next packets and using them one by one, repeatedly slamming their fists on the table. Surprisingly, at the seventh packet, SCP-023-VN-1 stopped midway while their face was pressed against the table. After a few seconds of no response, the guards in the room checked and discovered that SCP-023-VN-1 had died a few seconds earlier.
Dr. Thuy: Masterful? Only those who have lost their minds would believe an addict like you.
<END OF RECORDING>
Note: The cause of death of SCP-023-VN-1 is theorised to be a drug overdose that occurred seconds before the seventh packet. SCP-023-VN-1 did not appear to immediately realise or be affected by it, which subsequently led to death moments later. After cleaning up the scene, personnel reported that all 7 packets contained regular ketamine, as identified through pre-marked chemical tags; this implies that the packet left untouched by SCP-023-VN-1 was the only actual SCP-023-VN among the original 8 packets."
Addendum 3: The process of drug dependence.
SCP-023-VN’s addiction process varies between individuals; however, the most clear and pronounced results were observed in subjects who have recently experienced a breakup or are in a comparable emotional state, since their hallucinations tend to be more realistic, in both terms of visuals and functions.
On the other hand, the effects of the drug tend to excessively alter an individual's cognition, leading to extreme dependency that requires rehabilitation. Subjects are not to be re-exposed to SCP-023-VN thereafter, as the likelihood of successful second-time rehabilitation is extremely low. Notably, these individuals often claim to have found “true happiness” while under the influence of SCP-023-VN.
The most recent periodic interview record of D-10532, the latest known SCP-023-VN-1, is considered representative of SCP-023-VN-1 cases when they require rehabilitation. The record has been archived below.
<START OF RECORD>
Interview Staff: Dr. Thuy
Interview Subject: SCP-023-VN-1 (Previously known as D-10532)
Dr. Thuy: You seem to be tired today, SCP-023-VN-1? Do you feel something different?
SCP-023-VN-1: [Sigh] Ugh, hi; Well, except being called SCP-023-VN-1, nothing different. You can’t just call me D-whatever? It is exhausting that I was just about to get used to the old name, and then you slam into my face a new one.
Dr. Thuy: My condolences, but rules are rules.
SCP-023-VN-1: For real?
Dr. Thuy: If you don’t have any other questions left, shall we proceed?
SCP-023-VN-1: Fine.
Dr. Thuy: You haven’t used this month’s dosage yet?
SCP-023-VN-1: Not yet.
Dr. Thuy: Won’t you mind if we conduct a blood test on you?
SCP-023-VN-1: Yeah. Yeah. Whatever, just make it done.
Dr. Thuy: [Gestured to the nearby guard with a glance] During that time, were you having a hallucination?
SCP-023-VN-1 did not respond for a moment, seemingly more focused on Dr. Thuy than on the question. Suddenly, SCP-023-VN-1 lightly wiped its nose with a hand, let out a chuckle, then rested its chin on its hand and looked at Dr. Thuy, and began to speak with a softer tone.
SCP-023-VN-1: [Deeply inhaled, then strongly exhaled] Well, I have seen you recently, frequently.
Dr. Thuy: [Flustered] Huh? What???
SCP-023-VN-1: She is still as gorgeous as the day she left. But, she is even more beautiful now… And, you know what? [Giggled]… You look…just like her.Dr. Thuy: [Murmured to a guard] Tell the HR that we are going to change a new SCP-023-VN-1.
SCP-023-VN-1: Just a few more times… [Leaned to the one-way glass] A few more “peaks”, and I’ll show you true happiness.
Dr. Thuy: [Turned to SCP-023-VN-1, smirked] Oh really? I am genuinely curious. You, and those who came before you, kept blabbering about “true happiness” this, “true happiness” that; but in the end, isn’t it true that none of you have any idea of what true happiness is?
SCP-023-VN-1 pushed the chair out and stood up. The guard reached out to grab the subject’s shoulder and sit him down, but was signalled to halt by Dr. Thuy.
SCP-023-VN-1: Right, you didn’t see the true path of happiness, a blessing happiness; in your sight, out of reach. Only when you embrace the empty hole in your heart will you be able to see the healing, the euphoria. [Approached and pressed hands on the glass’s surface]
Dr. Thuy: What do you truly mean? Or are those just copy-pasted lines pathetic single men like you used to flirt with girls?
SCP-023-VN-1: I can hear in your voice…an emptiness, a wound… a craving for healing; like how I was in the past.
Dr. Thuy: Enough, you are making my skin prickly with those mawkish, disgusting rhetoric of yours. You pathetic single males don’t realise that this could be the reason why your exes left you?
SCP-023-VN-1: Just like your ex-boyfriend, no? The boyfriend you heartlessly abandoned for your career? Come on, we all know that you think it was the right decision, it was for the greater good, for his sake too. But baby girl, isn’t your happiness a bit too selfish and pretending? Think of him, think of the pitiful heart you strangled and suffocated, and think of the love that would never be rekindled ever again after it was extinguished under your ruthless boots…
Dr. Thuy: [Jerked her head, her voice became more stern] You fucking think you're in a position to judge me?
SCP-023-VN-1: C’mon, why so angry? I’m just giving you, my darling, a way out of this emotional prison. A chance to reach true happiness. A kind of happiness that is not bound by physical barriers, societal prejudices, or even the words between people. To feel your man through shapes, sounds, and every breath. A simple happiness like that isn’t as distant as you think… a true happiness… [Leaning face close to the glass.] Just for you.
Dr. Thuy: [Leaned closer] Do I look like some fuck who needs your pity?
SCP-023-VN-1: [Staggered back, slightly swaying, and responded with a tone of mock sympathy.] That ex-boifrien surely does.
SCP-023-VN-1 reached into his pants and pulled out a packet of SCP-023-VN, slamming it against the glass.
SCP-023-VN-1: Give it a try, it is not like you would be addicted to it anyway.
SCP-023-VN-1 was escorted away by the guards while the interrogation room was being cleaned, and the packet was confiscated.
<END OF RECORDING>
Note: As the available Class-D personnel suitable for the SCP-023-VN-1 criteria are gradually depleting, Procedure 121 will be considered for implementation.
Project update: Due to unprofessional behaviour throughout the process, Dr. Thuy has been disciplined and removed from the research project, as well as disqualified from future nominations for similar projects.
Update:
After nearly two weeks of Dr. Thuy's absence from the Foundation, an investigation team was sent to her house to locate her. However, only ten packages containing ketamine (1kg each), suspected to be SCP-023-VN, were found. Six used packages were discovered in the trash, one was in use, and a laptop was found in the adjacent room. Upon further investigation, the laptop contained video footage of Dr. Thuy, all of which has been archived below:
<START OF RECORDING>
[Dr. Thuy sat in front of the camera, with a packet of SCP-023-VN in front of her. The top-right corner of the screen displayed the date, 21-02-2024.]
Alright. Alright. You people didn’t give me a choice anyway. So, look, I’ll try this myself. I meet the criteria for this after all.
[Dr. Thuy began pouring the contents of the SCP-023-VN packet onto the table, then quickly spread it into lines and inhaled. Afterwards, she leaned back in her chair, seemingly letting the drug take full effect.]
It’s always the same…
[After a moment, Dr. Thuy looked back at the camera.]
Aaaaah. It’s been so long since I felt this relaxed. The sensation is so…euphoric, my body tingles and feels light. It’s especially strange that, even after three attempts, I still feel like it’s the first time. I guess that’s why everyone who’s tried this can't seem to break free from it.
The other thing… "True happiness"… it’s related to my past relationship. To be blunt, my ex.
[Dr. Thuy ran both hands over her face and let out a soft moan.]
His curly hair, high nose, always smiling brightly, and those eyes, oh my god, those eyes made me feel like he was a big Golden Retriever.
[Dr. Thuy ran her hands through her hair and adjusted her sitting position, leaning back into the chair to face the camera.]
But we broke up. After all, Foundation’s personnel are never able to love someone until the end…
"Love is a death sentence for duty," or something like that, from a famous movie I heard. Yeah. We broke up.
But more importantly, I still haven’t seen this “true happiness.” I—
[Dr. Thuy suddenly looked away from the camera and turned her face toward the door.]
Hey- Hey, wait!
[Dr. Thuy suddenly stood up and turned off the camera while turning to leave the room.]
[After a brief silence, Dr. Thuy was shown sitting in front of the camera again, her hands on her face, rubbing her temples. In front of her was an empty packet. The screen now displayed the date, 24-02-2024.]
I get it now. I mean, “true happiness” from those SCP-023-VN-1. Him, my ex-boyfriend, I… I started having hallucinations about him three days ago. It’s really uncomfortable, even more so because he’s not real. I know he’s just a product of SCP-023-VN and my memory, but everything feels so real.
His image, there’s something different in his appearance, his voice, his gestures. They’re so… perfect. They’re more perfect, more real, and maybe… shining? I can’t touch the illusion, even when I’m right in front of him, feeling his breath, I still can’t touch him.
But forget about the personal stuff. I need to understand why all these SCP-023-VN-1 get so obsessed with “true happiness.”
[Dr. Thuy sat in front of the camera, covered the camera lens with both hands, and prolonged for a period. The time now displayed 28-02-2024.]
Three days. For the past three days, the hallucinations have been getting longer, more realistic. The drug cravings have also been getting worse day by day. I’ve found a source for the drugs in this case, a supplier who sent me 10 kilograms of SCP-023-VN straight from the ONS Market. But I don’t think I’ll need it; I don’t plan on staying here any longer.
For the past three days, I’ve really been happy, reliving memories from when we were together. He’s there, becoming more and more gorgeous, to the point that he doesn’t seem like the same person I once knew anymore. He looks so radiant, unusually radiant, but still familiar, like he’s been that way the whole time we were together. Day by day, he’s becoming even more radiant, to the point that it’s unbelievable, a figure sanctified by my own feelings.
But that’s all. It’s all just my memories, just old memories revived by the influence of the stimulant. He’s not real, this experience isn’t true happiness. It’s all just a fake feeling, nothing more. In the end, I’ve finally understood, understood why those people get so obsessed with this fake “true happiness.” True happiness doesn’t come from that illusion. True happiness doesn’t come from short-lived, fading relationships.
True happiness comes from doing drugs.
<END OF RECORDING>
Note: Dr. Thuy has been added to the Foundation’s manhunt list and will be tracked down to extract further information about the anomaly. Dr. Thuy has also been designated as SCP-023-VN-1 and will be placed under containment if captured.
