A group of researchers, gathered in a conference room of a Foundation site, discuss the peculiar properties of SCP-7712. One of them speaks up: "This anomaly's ability to optimize any system, regardless of complexity, is absolutely unprecedented. We need to consider all possible angles for containment and study." Another responds: "I've been analyzing its data transmissions, and the patterns are extraordinary. It almost seems sentient, though it's clear it operates on a logical, not emotional, basis."
