Crueller than owl or eagle
A towered bird, shot through the crested head
With the command, Not dieBut climb

Obedient as to death a dead thing.

Prologue: Rebranding
Mr. Wilson was beginning to worry. That phrase had appeared, what, three times today? At least? Whatever it was, it couldn't mean anything good.

Canon Notes
Key Timeline
Most events from Conwell's AR timeline are excluded from this one - see them at http://www.scp-wiki.net/researcher-conwell-s-personnel-file
- 2006-09-30: SCP-4050 is first discovered by the Opportunity rover.
- 2024-05-24: A massive joint-Foundation-UIU raid on the headquarters of Anderson Robotics leads to the deaths/detention/containment of several key executives and massive damage to AR's building. Soon after, Vincent Anderson triggers the public release of information necessary to develop and build sapient robots. This is canon to Conwell's work.
- 2024-05-25 through 2049-12-18: Relations between the SCP Foundation and the UIU steadily decline.
- 2024-06-08: The few remaining executives of AR file for bankruptcy.
- 2024-06-12: MC&D announce their acquisition of the failing AR.
- 2024-07-15: Knowledge of sapient robotics has spread sufficiently far throughout the global scientific community that the SCP Foundation is forced to declare containment of the information a lost cause. The official Foundation definition of normalcy is amended to allow for the principles of sapient robotics.
- 2024-07-15 through 2049-12-18: Relations between the SCP Foundation and MC&D steadily decline as the latter takes advantage of the former's revised definition of normalcy to create and sell sapient robots that continually push the limits of said definition. Relations between MC&D and the UIU increase as AR becomes a stable cornerstone of the Three Portlands economy.
- 2041-03-16 through 2041-03-19: Vincent Anderson 'leads' an assault on SCP-3560, followed by an incursion into Site-64. The events of http://www.scp-wiki.net/end-of-line-hub reach their climax.
- 2042-01-21: The few surviving Saker and Peregrine units regroup and begin infiltrating the MC&D-controlled Anderson Robotics in an attempt to usurp control of the company and thus over the production and dissemination of further AR units.
- 2042-07-17: Due to the high tensions between AR and the SCP Foundation, the rogue units are able to secure a small Foundation team for research into ways of bypassing current Saker detection technology, so long as the SCP Foundation remains able to identify Sakers reliably.
- 2043-01-03: The research team is successful. Rogue units begin to infiltrate AR Headquarters
- 2043-05-21: The events of Rebranding occur.
- 2044-01-01: Rogue Saker units are successful in terminating and replacing all of the (previously MC&D-controlled) executives on the Board of Directors for AR. They attempt to sever ties with MC&D. They change the company's name to "Frostman Robotics," as a tribute to Phineas.
- 2048-11-23: Tensions flare between the SCP Foundation and the UIU - the Foundation removes sapient robotics from their definition of normalcy and begins to detain and often destroy thousands of AR/FR units. Advertising campaigns and falsified studies are planted to mark AR/FR units as dangerous.
- 2049-06-18 through 2050-01-12: The Portlands Conference, held in Three Portlands, pulled the GoIs back from the brink of war, and led to the landmark Three Portlands Accord.
- 2049-12-18: The Three Portlands Accord is signed by the UIU, the GOC, the Foundation, AR/FR, MC&D, and (bizarrely) Wilson's Wildlife Solutions. The IAC is founded. The UIU, the GOC, the Foundation, MC&D, and WWS are all forced to acknowledge FR as a sovereign entity.
- 2052-06-06: Provisional Area-R01 is founded on Mars to study SCP-4050.
- 2052-12-26: MTF Upsilon-53 confirm SCP-4050's retrocausal properties. SCP-4050-A requests information on SCP-140.
- 2053-01-05: Incident 4050-28 leaves all staff of Provisional Area-R01 dead, except for MTF Upsilon-53 who become stranded on Mars. 68 are killed.
- 2053-01-21: The SCPS Moksha is launched to establish Armed Area-R02 for the recontainment of SCP-4050 and the recovery of MTF Upsilon-53.
The International Arbitration Committee
The IAC tend to use boxes like this in their documentation, and they like to use tooltipsTooltips generally provide clarification on numbered items, similar to footnotes.. Documentation on the IAC database is organized by hex numbers, for example 13ef5b6a-cExtended SCP Foundation documentation on SCP-XXXX-EX refers to a document node (specifically, documentation group c of node 13ef5b6a).
IAC Member Groups
Member groups are the signatories of the Three Portlands Accord:
- IAC-A"The Unusual Incidents Unit"
- IAC-B"The Global Occult Coalition"
- IAC-C"The SCP Foundation"
- IAC-D"Marshall, Carter & Dark"
- IAC-E"Frostman Robotics"
- IAC-F"Wilson's Wildlife Solutions"
Yes, Wilson's Wildlife Solutions is a signatory. No, the other signatories don't want to talk about it. They try not to acknowledge that WWS was at the Portlands Conference. WWS' representative to the IAC rarely gets invited to arbitration sessions or workplace parties.
The TPA forced MC&D (and all other signatories) to acknowledge Frostman Robotics as a separate entity.
