KCP-018 - "Find derivative of sqrt(x^2-8)" / "Mortis Formula"

Object Class
Safe

Special Containment Procedures
The Foundation's containment plan for the device, contains the following sections:

Section 1: The device is contained within a sealed, self-sealing steel container. The container is placed in a secure location in the Foundation's facility. The location and security precautions are to be kept secret from all personnel except those in direct contact with the containment procedure.

Section 2: The device can be un-contained if the appropriate precautions are taken. It is unclear whether the object is actually safe, or if it contains something dangerous.

Description
KCP-018 is a terrifying sort of device. It is a mechanical device that can be set to produce any number of its own. It has a display that shows the number of times it has produced the number. It can also produce its own numbers, starting at the number 1 and going in a spiral of increasing numbers. It must be programmed in order to produce a number, and when it is programmed, it will produce that number unless it was programmed to stop.

When anyone tries to find the derivative of the function "sqrt(x^2)-8", the program will ask you to input the value of x to make sure that the answer is correct. The program will then check the answer for accuracy by checking it against the answer given by you. If the answer matches, then the program says that x is a positive integer and the person is Panned. If the answer does not match, then it says that x must be a negative integer and the person will be elected for the position of President.
