Really? That’s had basilisk-like effects? I guess these things are subjective … torturing one girl to save humanity is treated like this vast and terrible thing, with the main risk being that one day they wont be able to bring themselves to continue—but in other stories they regularly kill tons of people in horrible ways just to find out how something works. Honestly, I’m not sure why it’s so popular, there are a bunch of SCPs that could solve it (although there could be some brilliant reason why they can’t, we’ll never know due to redaction.) But it’s too popular to ever be decommissioned … it makes the Foundation come across as lazy, not even trying to help the girl, too busy stewing in self-pity at the horrors they have to commit to actually stop committing them.
Wait, I’m still thinking about it after all this time? Hmm, perhaps there’s something to this basilisk thing...
