Competitors of Interest

DIRECT COMPETITORS

Although we at the APE prefer to be the one true company that should be taking lead of the Anomalous Industry at the top, we do acknowledge we operate in a realm with many other organizations/groups attempting to take our rightful place at the top. Numerous competitors to the APE exist and it is important that our employees understand who they are and what potential risk they can pose to our brand and our hard workers.

We refer to these groups as "Competitors of Interest," and they come in a wide array of different motives and ideas. Although some of these groups wish or want a collaborative relationship with us that could potentially provide mutual benefits to our companies, many more wish directly harm us.

In any case, it is important for us to be aware of our relations with other companies and what we know about them.

## Fanon Foundation

**Status:** **Hostile**

**Overview:** Although the SCP foundation has shown great hostility towards our company since our formation in 1942, our opinion on them is a mix of total aggression and respect. The SCP Foundation's main goal is the containment of anything akin to the paranormal and concealing them from the public in order to the protect the world from the threats they pose. A noble cause, but ultimately futile as they have been confined to their mundane goal to yet see the true potential the anomalous hold for us.

**History with the APE:** Our background with the foundation goes back to the closing era of the second world war, where we were formed as the Anomalous Containment Division. We had major success in all our starting operations, enough to the point where *they* started to get untrustworthy of our posistion, double so with the recent formation of the Insurgency in the foundation, they started to restrict our freedoms as an autonomous unit under their control.

This, combined with our growing courage and ambitions, started to grow hostile to them. We loved the thrill of success, and it being taken away from us was to much for us to handle. We desired more then to just be a branch, we wished to be the *main* attraction. And soon, once we learned their plans to dissolve us, it was simply too much, as they broke the final straw. We quickly severed all ties with the Foundation and declared the organization "Anomalous Enterprises," our first name before the APE.

Although the shaky history, we at the APE are willing to reconstruct our relations with them, although they are unwilling to accept anything that would make them look *weak*. It would be mutually benefitial for our companies to become friendly once more, they would never trust an organization such as us, brave enough to show the world the true potential anomalies hold for us.

## The Authority

**Status:** **Neutral**

**Overview:** The Authority is an organization set on keeping companies in the anomalous industry in check, making sure they follow what they call the "Hamilia Code," which are guidelines made to avoid the anomalous contaminating the public. The Authority's view on the APE is one of a guardian, as the APE doesn't have their own protection forces, the Authority assists in helping them. We, the APE, view them more of a nuisance, as they view the Authority's code as to strict and hinders the APE's ability to profit from their anomalies.

**History with the APE:** TBA
