 File Overview The Foundation is not the only group with an interest and investment in the paranormal and metaphysical. There are many other groups in existence who possess, use, or attempt to create SCP objects either for their own personal gain or for the protection of mankind. Some are rival organizations, some are splinter groups of the Foundation, and some are trusted associates of the Foundation. In any case, it has been deemed necessary to create and distribute a brief on what agencies the Foundation knows about and are stance towards them. The Three Moons Initiative Overview The Three Moons Initiative is an extradimensional human-military organization based in SCP-2922-C, an afterlife also known as Corbinic. Through a partnership with the Corbini's deity Jalakara, they act as a multi-dimensional security force for the protection of the human race. While initiative personnel believe that they're operating in humankind's best interests, military overreach, poor communication, issues with internal bureaucracy, and other factors combined with their disproportionately high military strengths to our own have made them a potential liability to public safety in our dimension. As such, they maintain an unstable peace with the Foundation. Those of the Three Moons Initiative are to be treated with extreme caution. Unusual Incidents Unit, UIU, Federal Bureau of Investigation Overview The Unusual Incidents Unit was formed after the onset of the Cold War when many aspects of the American government were focused on utilizing the anomalous and preventing the communists from doing the same. This led to the creation of a special FBI division devoted to rapid response to paranormal events and crimes. Director J. Edgar Hoover was personally involved with their creation, although initially given significant funding and resources by the American government, following the end of the Cold War and the dissolution of enemy organizations such as the GRUP, the UIU had been in a state of decline for many years. Disparagingly referred to as ex-files and UI useless by the larger anomalous community, the agency is generally well-meaning, but due to a lack of financial resources, little manpower, and bureaucratic obstruction by the US government, it is often perceived as ineffective. The influence of the Foundation and Global Occult Coalition in the United States government has stopped the UIU and other US GOV entities dealing with anomalous activity such as US Air Force's 616th Squadron, Roswell's Revengers, and US Navy SEAL team Bravo Papa Romeo Delta from being dissolved entirely. FBI and special agents who join the Unusual Incidents Unit often have backgrounds in psychology, STEM fields, and art studies. As part of the Patriot Act, agents of the unit are required to be administered personalized medic silencing agents, PMSA, colloquially referred to as gag orders by agents of the UIU, to avoid leaks. The Unusual Incidents Unit has been known to engage in combat alongside and against various anomalous organizations in the past, including participating in several combat operations under Foundation supervision in the 1950s and 1960s, and the Black Mamba Incident in Afghanistan in 1976, an infamous skirmish between UIU agents and members of GRUP. Currently, a division of the Unusual Incidents Unit oversees the autonomous anomalous state of three portlands. An example of underfunding and understaffing in the Unusual Incidents Unit can be seen in its sole remaining division in the Midwestern United States.

They seek to explore the multiverse and uncover its mysteries while spreading and preserving knowledge. All members of this group undergo a transformation that gives them avian features and anomalous abilities. They also utilize a group of anomalous artifacts known as maps of the multiverse to travel through dimensions to study the locales and inhabitants. In contrast to many groups of interest, the Wandsmen have attempted to work with the Foundation multiple times. One of their goals is the preservation of existence so they can study it. So they see the Foundation as an ally against the multiverse's destruction. However, they have a variety of extremely dangerous members, have produced multiple anomalous items and strongly object philosophically to the Foundation's desire to preserve normalcy and conceal knowledge of the anomalous. Wilson's Wildlife Solutions Overview Wilson's Wildlife Solutions is a paranormal publicly funded wildlife service based in Clackamas County, Oregon, specifically in the town of Boring. Although the Foundation has known of Wilson's Wildlife Solutions' existence and anomalous affiliation since 1999, it took nine years until the Ursus Maratimus incident in 2008 for their existence to be officially recognized and a relationship established between the two groups. Currently, the Boring Agreement outlines that Wilson's Wildlife Solutions should be supervised by MTF Beta 4 castaways, local to Science 64, and that they may handle containment of safe or euclid fauna-based anomalies, with varying degrees of Foundation intervention on a case-to-case basis. Amendments to the Boring Agreement can be and have been made to account for gray areas or new policies as necessary. End of file.
