What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
Add some sort of negative effect or interaction when hacking SCP-079 whilst it is unbreached. This could be a temporary breach, a full breach, or some sort of buff for 079 next time it breaches

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
Not that I can see

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
Would remove the time old tale of players hacking 079 to recontain it when it isn't breached
Would add more use to 079's breach status being concealed

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
If the hack level is unbalanced in comparison to the hack level of the 079 control box, could cause for increased forced breaches of 079

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
I feel that as long as this is well balanced and implemented correctly, by adding a negative side effect we could allow for better RP & gameplay revolving around 079. In the event that there is a suspected 079 breach, E11 would have to fully confirm it before hacking else they risk releasing it themselves.

I don't support giving 079 an early breach or temporary one (maybe a temporary one would be good if it can't hack out more SCPs, but can cause chaos with the ability to hack turrets and break doors) however a buff for 079's next breach like starting with an extra level would be balanced and beneficial.

Also, it would be funny if completing a hack on 079 while it's not breached just kills you.

You painstakingly finish the hack and then it just fucking electrocutes you
