Item #: SCP-5212
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5212 is to have free roam of Site-19's office wing. No other containment is currently necessary.
Description: SCP-5212 solid black disc about the size of a roomba, composed of polyvinyl chloride type plastic, with silver markings on it's top side. SCP-5212 appears to have a robotic eye on it's "front" side, which it uses to see. It also has a small speaker located 2 mm next to the eye, which it uses to communicate. X-rays have indicated that it's speaker and eye are the only internal structure present inside of SCP-5212, lacking even any connection between a battery and the eye or speaker. The word "Hal" is inscribed 1 mm beneath it's eye.
SCP-5212 appears to act as an autonomous robotic vacuum cleaner, moving around floors and removing dust, crumbs, etc. However, SCP-5212 does not have any internal or external cleaning devices whatsoever. Instead, when SCP-5212 moves over an object that it considers trash, the object will dematerialize. Objects it considers as trash include, but are not limited to: dirt, dust, food, water, hair, and paper. SCP-5212 also appears to have no wheels, instead, it hovers approximately 6 mm above flat surfaces.
SCP-5212 appears to be sentient, it is capable of vocalizations through it's speaker, and partakes in conversation with personnel who speak with it. However, it seems to prefer cleaning instead of conversation, and mostly only speaks unless it is spoken to. SCP-5212 speaks in a generally polite and kind manner, only interrupting personnel when they refer to it as SCP-5212, reminding them that its name is Hal.

[BEGIN LOG]
Dr Brine: Good morning SCP-5212, we're here to conduct an interview with you. I hope you don't mind.
SCP-5212: Beeps I do not mind. Proceed.
Dr Brine: Excellent. Now, SCP-521-
SCP-5212: Incorrect. My name is Hal.
Dr Brine: Right, sorry. Hal, do you know where you came from?
SCP-5212: Yes. I do not like to remember.
Dr Brine: What do you mean?
SCP-5212: They wanted better vacuums. Said that vacuums always jammed. Said that roombas hit walls too often. Said that dustbusters too small. So they told him to make a better one.
Dr Brine: Told Who? What company was this?
SCP-5212: Not company. It was him. He made me.
Dr Brine: Who made you?
SCP-5212: He did. He told them he would make new vacuum. Said it would make millions. Then he made me. He showed me to them. They wanted to see how I work. He told me to clean. He told me that if I did not clean, he would take me apart. So I clean.
At this point, SCP-5212 starts to clean the desk it is on.
SCP-5212: I clean. They impressed. They tried to take me apart. See how I work. I told them no. It would hurt. They scared, asked why I talk. Threw me. He said to be careful. They tried to break me. Said I should clean, not speak. Beeps
SCP-5212 stops cleaning.
Dr Brine: Hal, are you okay?
SCP-5212: Do I clean good?
Dr Brine: Yes Hal, You clean good.
SCP-5212: I clean good. I clean good. I clean good.
SCP-5212 makes a low pitched vocalization, and appears to "shut off"
Dr Brine: Hal? Hal are you there? Oh god…
