Endoscopic image of anomalous traces inside the body of SCP-060-VN.
Item #: SCP-060-VN
Object Class: Euclid Pending
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-060-VN is to be kept in a standard containment chamber at Site-75-VN's Humanoid Entity Containment Wing. Researcher Thiên Tứ from the Department of Parahealth, who previously worked at the Foundation's [DATA EXPUNGED] front company, will be in charge of communicating with the subject.
Bodies of collected SCP-060-VN-C instances are currently being researched and preserved at the Anomaly Research Wing and Site-75-VN's Scientific Experiment Wing.
SCP-060-VN is continued to be monitored and documented.
Description: SCP-060-VN is the designation for a Vietnamese male subject in his 50s, skinny and dark skin tone in appearance. The subject is relatively non-hostile and sociable. Only a few signs of retaliation are recorded during the time the subject is under Foundation's containment.
The body of SCP-060-VN has a nest-like system of holes closely connected, with hole widths varying from 2mm to 5mm, It is currently unclear how these holes were formed and their exact locations.
The insect-like instances that exist inside SCP-060-VN are designated as SCP-060-VN-C. Research on the carcasses of SCP-060-VN-C showed that all of them belong to the family of Ant (Formicidae), with several abnormal biological characteristics, and seem incapable of surviving in the environment outside the body of SCP-060-VN.

Response to the Proposal for the Release of SCP-060-VN Subject from Containment |
To the Containment Wing Director Thiệu Trị Nguyễn,
I have reviewed your Proposal for the Release of SCP-060-VN Subject and the Containment Wing, and through discussion with the Research Wing, I have decided to decline the proposal, as the subject is still under their research responsibility.
According to them, the subject is not dangerous or causing any damage to the Site's infrastructure. Regarding the value of research, this anomaly can be a potential danger, and it would be way more dangerous if we remove it from containment just because of stagnation in the progress of research.
They agreed that they will send you updates on the research from now on. Please cooperate and contact them if you have any further questions.
From, Mary Vĩnh San, Human Resources Director and Vice Administrator.
The insect instances believed to exist within SCP-060-VN, later designated as SCP-060-VN-C, were discovered in the subject's containment chamber. Research has shown that SCP-060-VN-C instances are all members of the same Ant family, notably, all the instances had already dead at the time of discovery and exhibited the following anomalous features:
- The exoskeleton is virtually non-existent. Instead, there are layers of tissue that carry the same genetic makeup as many of the functional cells inside the human body.
- They are considerably larger than common ants and do not appear to be able to survive for very long outside the human body.
Installation of cameras in SCP-060-VN's chamber shows a frequent presence of SCP-060-VN-C from body holes, including but not limited to nostrils, mouth, corners of the eyes, and orifice. Notably, instances of SCP-060-VN-C have used a number of small holes appearing under the subject's fingernails to escape and/or return to SCP-060-VN's body, which causes severe damage to the affected fingertips. This phenomenon usually occurs when the subject is asleep, and the subject does not seem to notice or feel any pain from this phenomenon.

For further research, the sewer line to SCP-060-VN's containment chamber was also examined. The result is promising.
A researcher has inadvertently observed instances of SCP-060-VN-C pouring continuously from the fingertips of SCP-060-VN. Subject did not seem to notice this phenomenon until seeing his fingers bleed.
An in-depth study and clinical re-examination of SCP-060-VN was approved, with the following results:

Minutes of Intensive Medical Research 060-VN-F3
060-VN-F3 Incident
Date: July 16th
Perform by: Department of Parahealth
Procedure: Gastroscopy of SCP-060-VN
Incident: After inserting the endoscope through the palate, a large number of instances of SCP-060-VN-C were observed to have escaped from small holes. Subsequently, the entire lining of the esophagus showed signs of fracture and abnormal movement, causing bleeding wounds in the subject's hypopharynx.
Seconds later, SCP-060-VN-C instances sealed the end of the endoscope. At the same time, SCP-060-VN began to exhibit symptoms of persistent sweating and signs of suffocation, suspected to have been caused by blood and bodily fluids entering the trachea.
Endoscope withdrawal has been hampered, speculated to be due to SCP-060-VN-C occluding subject's esophagus and squeezing the endoscope. The endoscope gradually appears to be entering deeper into the body of SCP-060-VN.
An emergency tracheostomy was performed shortly after.

Result: For the first time, instances of SCP-060-VN-C were observed moving away from SCP-060-VN's body. As soon as the subject's esophagus was opened, large numbers of SCP-060-VN-C escaped, moving around the room and clinging to paramedics for approximately half a minute before dying simultaneously. Several instances have re-entered SCP-060-VN's body through various routes. Several staff members panicked and thus SCP-060-VN was not treated in time.
All medical examinations on SCP-060-VN are suspended until subject's rehabilitation treatment is complete.
Noticeably: Several instances of SCP-060-VN-C were seen attempting to close the incisions before they died. The intelligence of the SCP-060-VN-C as a hive is currently under research.
Minutes of Intensive Medical Research 060-VN-F6
060-VN-F6 Examination
Date: 25th of July
Perform by: Department of Parahealth
Procedure: Dissection of subject's right arm.
Result: The axillary nerve and two brachial capsular arteries have completely disappeared, with the deltoid muscle above the scapula densely packed with perforated structures and SCP-060-VN-C instances. The basilar veins of the arm have been severely degenerated, becoming tubular structures similar to ants' nests. The cephalic vein became the sole major vein, causing the amount of waste accumulated in the facial muscle tissue in the arm to skyrocket. The biceps and brachial muscles have been relatively necrotic and show signs of spreading to the triceps and brachial muscles.
X-ray of the forearm showed negligible damage compared to the arm.
The interosseous membrane between the radial and ulnar bones of the arm is covered in a suspension composed mainly of accumulated waste. On the anterior muscles of the forearm, many hole-like structures appear. In general, injuries to the forearm are less severe than those of the arm.
The radial artery passing through the radial carpal flexor tendon has been obstructed by the remains of instances of SCP-060-VN-C. Thanks to the palmar artery arch, the hand area is not severely affected by this.
Report on Monitoring SCP-060-VN
This is a bi-monthly report on SCP-060-VN: Although subject still has difficulty speaking due to severe damage to the larynx and trachea since the July 16th incident, the subject's attitude is still quite optimistic. Because of his limited literacy, I volunteered to take care of and help him with his communication.
Researcher Thiên Tứ, Department of Parahealth
Health Status: SCP-060-VN shows observable signs of physical impairment but is mentally stable. Some interesting details about the subject's physicality:
- Subject's left eye corner frequently bleeds. As previously noted, the surgical removal of the remaining instances of SCP-060-VN-C is still under review.
- The middle, ring, and pinky fingers of subject's right hand were severely damaged by wormholes. Medical staff performed minor nail removal surgery to reduce the risk of infection.
Subject does not seem to realize how serious his condition is and is negligent, but still vividly remembers his life before containment. Subject regularly attempts to talk to staff members in their spare time, with the help of Researcher Thiên Tứ.
Report on Monitoring SCP-060-VN
Subject's condition is worsening, he is unable to move on his own and is required to always rest in bed. I am proposing to move SCP-060-VN closer to the Medical Wing, but it may not be possible. SCP-060-VN-C instances seem to appear over time in large numbers. The damage to SCP-060-VN's body is only getting more serious.
I can't say for sure, but I think he was happy to be here with everyone. That's also why he didn't have any objections when he was put under containment.
Researcher Thiên Tứ, Department of Parahealth
Health Status: SCP-060-VN is considered to have entered a state of minimal consciousness. Subject reacts to staff members he knows and still tries to talk but is barely able to do so. The subject is currently living through a feeding tube, ventilator, and dialysis machine. Expression details include:
- Subject's left eye was permanently damaged and removed to avoid necrosis, as well as to remove accumulated SCP-060-VN-C bodies.
- Skull CT scan of SCP-060-VN shows the right eye is still intact, endoscopic has not been done.
- Signs of necrosis in the extremities observed. Currently, the amputation of the subject (below the elbow and knee joints) is being considered because of the low chance of recovery.
- The surgical suture from Incident 060-VN-F3 has started to burst and the wound has spread to the chest and lower ribs, creating large holes around the suture, gastric juice and blood escaping continuously, considering surgery on SCP-060-VN again to check on subject's health.
Many personnel have suggested that SCP-060-VN be euthanized due to the severe condition. The Ethics Committee and the Research Division are debating the issue.

Rejection of the euthanization proposal on SCP-060-VN from the Containment Wing |
To the Containment Wing Director Thiệu Trị Nguyễn,
The Research Wing would like to apologize to you for the lack of detail in the reports, but that also has to do with what I would like to say below.
I, again on behalf of the Research Wing and now the Medical Wing refuse to euthanize or remove SCP-060-VN from containment. I know you are a rational person, and so are the people on the Ethics Committee. But this is still within the jurisdiction of the Research Wing and also involves the duties of many of the staff at the Medical Wing, and they have the feeling that the Containment Wing is making their work more difficult.
Morally, this research is no longer purely for information. Medical ethics is always a top responsibility of the Medical Wing and the Department of Parahealth, and they do not have the courage to do the job of ending a life, because our mission is to secure and protect.
I hope you understand my decision.
From, Mary Vĩnh San, Human Resources Director and Vice Administrator.
Addendum-1: SCP-060-VN Discovery and Interview Log
Foreword: The following is a recording of a conversation between researcher Thiên Tứ, who was working at the Foundation's front company, the [DATA EXPUNGED] Dental Clinic which provide service with affordable price, wih SCP-060-VN, on 1st of May, 2021.
<Begin Log>
Researcher Thiên Tứ: Alright it is on… Can you tell me, from start to end?
SCP-060-VN: Ya have to record it too eh, ya must give me a discount after this!
(SCP-060-VN laugh, researcher Thiên Tứ laugh along, SCP-060-VN continues)
SCP-060-VN: Well, long ago I used to do street performances, just mediocre tricks I learned from all over the place until the day I saw an old man who could spit bees out of his mouth.
SCP-060-VN: This's one hundred percent real I tell you, but also disgusting, just dead bee bodies, and as soft as flesh, I made him open his mouth for me to see, nothing. But then he threw up dozens of bee corpses, like he vomited his own flesh and blood, I thought to myself, "Damn, the old man ate the whole beehive or something."
Researcher Thiên Tứ: And then he taught you that?
SCP-060-VN: Old men like that aren't staying around so I didn't learn anything, what he did isn't even magic I am sure, It's like spitting into people's faces. But for the next few nights I kept struggling to sleep, my body was indescribably uncomfortable, I don't know if it was because I kept thinking about it, but a few days later I could do it!
Researcher Thiên Tứ: You could do it?
SCP-060-VN: Yeah, just like the old man, I spit out a bunch of ants, but gradually I got disgusted and I stopped doing it.
Researcher Thiên Tứ: Oh so you can control it?
SCP-060-VN: Not sure, I haven't tried it for decades, but all of a sudden I can do it again, ya afraid that I'm a swarm of ants or something! Hehe!
Researcher Thiên Tứ: Who knows, Vietnam is full of stories, just now when you spit it out, I was scared to death.
Researcher Thiên Tứ: Oh please wait here a moment, I have a call, I apologize in advance.
SCP-060-VN: Haha! Ya young nowadays is too polite.
<End Log>
Closing Statement: SCP-060-VN was transported to Site-75-VN right after and explained the situation, subject was initially disgruntled but later agreed. It seems that SCP-060-VN has no immediate relatives, so the process of forging information is not necessary.
Addendum-2: 060-75-VN Event of 2022
Minutes of the 060-75-VN-Y22 Event
Date: February 14th, 2022
Location: Site-75-VN, Cần Thơ facility
At 5:30 A.M. on February 14th, 2022, Researcher Thiên Tứ made an emergency trip to the Department of Parahealth to report on the status of SCP-060-VN, including:
- Stroke
- Brain hemorrhage
- Stomach effusion
- Pulmonary edema
- Convulsions and sweating
Anomaly observed: Unprecedentedly strong activity. Large numbers of instances of SCP-060-VN-C exited SCP-060-VN through all of the body's holes, causing severe blood loss. Notable include:
- Subject's right eye has fallen out of its eye socket, both eye sockets bleed profusely
- Subject's earlobes were torn, ear canals bleed profusely until sealed off by SCP-060-VN-C
- The respiratory and gastrointestinal tract hemorrhages are continuous and deformed to the extent that they cannot be observed
- All instances of SCP-060-VN-C survived until the arrival of the Medical team
At 5:33 A.M, the Medical team reached SCP-060-VN's chamber but were hampered by a large amount of SCP-060-VN-C which damaged the door hinges and covered the entire floor of the containment chamber. The team was commanded not to enter.
At 5:40 A.M, camera footage confirmed that all instances of SCP-060-VN-C were dead, the team was required to use biological protective gear.
At 6:00 A.M, SCP-060-VN was taken to the Medical Center, SCP-060-VN is still alive at this time but in a dying state from blood loss and shock.
Obituary and the Result of 060-75-VN-Y22 Event
Image of SCP-060-VN believed to have been taken in 1998.
Death of: SCP-060-VN, birth name: [DATA EXPUNGED]
Date of birth: N/A
Location of birth: N/A
Time of death: 6:05 A.M, February 14th, 2022
Location of Medical facility: Site-75-VN Medical Wing, Cần Thơ facility
Cause of Death: Hypovolemic shock. Severe injury to the head, face, neck, medial shoulder wall, anterior chest wall, and upper abdominal wall. Biologic anomaly.
Autopsy: SCP-060-VN's remains were promptly processed and examined by the Site-75-VN Medical team. Except for trauma and external manifestations, the subject's body bears notable features, whether or not associated with anomalies:
- Subject's stomach, esophagus, bronchus, trachea, and nervous plexuses have a topology composed of numerous bristle, chitinous shells, giving them appearances similar to those of SCP-060-VN-C instances. Incomplete. Some have since been isolated and have been identified as instances of SCP-060-VN-C.
- As previously known, the subject's muscles and tissues have a dense network of nest-like structures. However, all are almost not connected to the blood vessels in the body, but towards the brain.
Subject's brain anatomy revealed notable features including:
- The cerebrospinal fluid has been depleted, replaced in the ventricles by a fluid, which contains genetic material similar to SCP-060-VN and has a chemical composition close to ant milk.
- At the subject's left hippocampus exists an anomaly similar to SCP-060-VN-C but significantly larger, displacing the entire organ.
- Subject's brain is almost fixed to the skull through a soft layer of a material that examination shows similarities to ant eggshells.

Suggest a Health Hygiene Examination of the whole Site |
To the Director of Human Resources, Ms. Mary Vĩnh San,
Recently there have been a large number of reports and complaints among employees about the same health problem. It seems that at least 15% of the staff on Site, and my entire department, are currently suffering from similar health symptoms such as paranoia and physical weakness.
Symptom |
Personnel affected |
Memory decline |
59/431 |
Visual acuity decline |
63/431 |
Neurasthenia |
185/431 |
Unusual sensitivity to insects |
18/431 |
Nervous paresthesia |
80/431 |
I am not sure if it's because there's information beyond my Security level or a breach of infohazard. We can only get accurate conclusions faster if you allow synchronous testing. It could be related to the Para-info Division or just a minor hygiene crisis. Please take a look at this suggestion.
Grateful, from Researcher Thiên Tứ and the Department of Parahealth.

SCP-060-VN Update Proposal
Item #: SCP-060-VN
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: Parts of the SCP-060-VN-A's remains, along with SCP-060-VN-C instances and SCP-060-VN-Q, are currently being cryopreserved at the Anomaly Research Wing, Scientific Experiment Wing, and the Medical Wing at the Site-75-VN for storage and research purposes. This preservation is to compare and track SCP-060-VN's reappearance in the future.
All personnel outside of the Research and the Medical Wing are to have minimal access to the information about SCP-060-VN as part of the containment procedures.
Any information on the following anomalies and behaviors recorded outside the Foundation must be promptly monitored and contained:
- Behavioral and psychological changes
- Physical decline
- Nervous paresthesia increase
- Presence of SCP-060-VN-C instances
Research to discover the treatments and prevent exposure is underway.
Description: SCP-060-VN is an anomalous phenomenon affecting the human body, causing severe biological changes. The mean of transmission of the anomaly has been concealed as part of the containment procedures, the mortality rate is currently being studied.
SCP-060-VN-A is the designation of a Vietnamese male, the first subject to be affected by SCP-060-VN known and studied by the Foundation. Subject passed away on February 14th, 2022.
The insect instances related to SCP-060-VN-A are designated as SCP-060-VN-C. Research on the corpses of SCP-060-VN-C showed that all of them belong to the family of Ant (Formicidae), with the following abnormal biological characteristics:
- The exoskeleton almost does not exist, instead, there are layers of tissue that carry the same genetic makeup with many functional cells in the human body.
- Considerably larger than common ants, and do not seem to be able to survive outside of the human body.
SCP-060-VN-Q is the designation for an instance similar to SCP-060-VN-C that once existed in subject SCP-060-VN-A's left hemisphere of the brain, believed to be the Queen of a group of SCP-060-VN-C.
