++ **Timeline**
[[/=]]
------------------------

The following timeline was first compiled 17.MAY.2018, following Incident 7143-ICA. It does not provide a complete picture of SCP-7143’s actions or movements: gaps in the record will be filled as new information permits.

[[/div]]
**13.MAR.2018:** Incident 7143.ICA occurs.

**22.MAR.2018:** Incident 7143.ICA followup investigation is judged sufficient evidence for SCP item classification. SCP-7143 is identified and registered as an enemy combatant of unknown  affiliation. 
 
**09.MAY.2018:** Further investigation of the bombing attacks against Mondelēz International reveals that four of the nine accounted-for Accra gunmen, as well as all three individuals linked to the Samarinda bombing, had visited the Berlin Zoo between February and August of 2016.

**28.APR.2019:** Three Valravn Corporation security specialists are found dead in Ahmedabad.  All three subjects appeared to have been killed by a combination of bullet wounds, extreme burns, and organ rupture.

**30.OCT.2019:** SCP-7143 appears in TikTok video “An Orangutan Served Me Tea!” by user ████████. Video consists of ████████’s initial meeting with SCP-7143 on a roadside in Nepal, wherein he accepts a cup of tea and holds a one-sided conversation with the anomaly. Video is removed per Digital Information Suppression Protocols before it achieves wide spread. Field investigation finds no further evidence of the anomaly’s presence at the site or surrounding area.
 
**01.JAN.2020:** Monitoring post DXH-07 receives parcel delivery via SCP-████[[footnote]] “The Postman Thoth and the Chapar Khaneh”[[/footnote]] containing the New Year’s edition of //The Wyrm’s Turn//[[footnote]]Headline: “The Oracles Are In: It’s Not Looking Good”[[/footnote]] and a tin of oolong tea. The inside text of the newspaper is blacked out, save for a sequence of letters combining into the following message. 
[[div class="blockquote"]]
“My dearest rivals: I am afraid that the spark has gone out of our relationship. You have pursued me with dogged determination, and for that I applaud your work, but the time has come to go our separate ways. Greater responsibilities call for my attention. We shall meet again; I hope it will be under better circumstances. I wish you a happy new year and many good returns. Enjoy the tea."
[[/div]]
No return address was provided. When asked for more information about the sender, the delivery bird responded “Wouldn’t you like to know, Poirot?” before departing. The tea was disposed of without incident.

SCP-7143 has not been conclusively linked to any anomalous activity occurring in 2020 and 2021: it is not known if the anomaly was present in baseline reality during this time.

**02.MAR.2022:** Foundation intelligence agents intercept communications confirming that Vitaly Sokolov, suspected head of GRU-P operations in Ukraine, has been killed in Kiev.

Odesa entered the apartment. With no corroborating evidence, the event is dismissed as a hallucination induced by stress and sleep deprivation. 

**10.JUL.2022:** Anomalous Incident 10072022-18: 15 Mondelēz International resource extraction sites in Brazil, Colombia, Indonesia, Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire,  are set ablaze through anomalous means.

------------------------

Field Team A7 deployed on reconnaissance sweep of St. Thecla’s Middle School, Winesburg Ohio [[footnote]]School was closed in 2008 as part of parish merger; the property had not been resold by the time of the incident.[[/footnote]] after reports of suspicious activity made to local police are deemed sufficient grounds for investigation. The following events are compiled from agent testimony and body-camera footage.

[[div class="blockquote"]]
[A7 enters the building through the west entrance. Sweep of the west wing ground-floor reveals no anomalous activity. Team moves into east wing.]

[Field Team’s handheld Kant counter registers abnormally high Hume reading in room 104. Field team prepares entry.]
 
[Entry successful. Team finds a whiteboard eraser suspended 1m off the floor in the center of the room. No further anomalous activity present; local Hume measurements remain higher than standard range for scope of the anomaly.]

[SCP-7143 descends from drop ceiling; performs unarmed takedown on A7-4, snapping his neck and drawing the body down between itself and the other members of A7.]

[SCP-7143 draws A7-4’s service revolver.]

**A7-3:** “Wha-

**A7-2:** “He’s got a gun!”

[SCP-7143 propels A7-4’s body into A7-2, knocking him off balance, and springs toward agents.]

[A7-1 and A7-3 discharge firearms: bullets burst into flower petals before reaching target. Anomaly fires weapon, shooting A7-1 in the right kneecap.]

[Anomaly grabs A7-3 by the ankle and drags her to the floor. A7-2 pushes aside the body of A7-4 and attempts to ready firearm. Anomaly executes A7-2 and A7-3 via shots to the head.]

[A7-1 raises hands in surrender.]

[Anomaly shoots A7-1 in the left kneecap.] 

[Anomaly raises finger to lips in a “shh” motion, pats A7-1 on the head, and exits the scene.]

[A7-1 calls in recovery team.]
[[/div]]

Field Team A7 recovered without further incident. Cover story implicating local heroin trade as source of gunfire fed to police; no complications. Inspection of the team’s Kant counter indicates no hardware malfunction; subsequent sweep of the room indicates residual  traces of multiple Rosen-Fortune Bridges recently active in the room, though this is not sufficient to explain abnormal Hume readings. A7-1 placed on long-term medical leave. Whiteboard eraser demonstrates no further anomalous properties and is discarded.

------------------------

Recovered security footage confirms eyewitness reports placing SCP-7143 as participant in the attack on Area-08. Anomaly is seen breaching primary security perimeter alongside Serpent’s Hand and Confederación forces. Corroborating survivor accounts, the anomaly is riding an unidentified theropod with gold-and-blue plumage. Corroborating survivor accounts, theropod is capable of expelling fire from its mouth. Corroborating survivor accounts, anomaly attacks Foundation security forces via generation of lightning from a tree branch in its possession.
