SANARI/History

Below is the history of SANARI.

Construction
Despite laws that banned sapient artificial intelligence, the Special Division of Experimental Technology of the Federal Monarchy of Allied Sovereign Nations begun research in secret to prepare for the upcoming War Between Vaikan States. In the event of the extinction of the Vaikan race, they had a means of preserving themselves. The project was headed by Sirius Alnitak with asssistance from his wife, Veidne Alnitak.

The SDET had continuously requested archived documents pertaining to Yolnor Robotics Corporation. Using specifications from the Carapellex, they constructed a machine capable of receiving uploaded brains. The prototype body was created in Dimonroff facility orbiting VY Canis Majoris - deep into the heart of FMASN territory.

Attempted capture by the SCP
By the time the Sovereign Confederate Planets invaded Dimonroff, SANARI was still experimental and not fully tested. The SDET was unwilling to destroy or give up the technology within Dimonroff, so they made an effort to hide most of their assets. SANARI was stored within a secret compartment that masked sensor readings.

Becoming more concerned about the SCP finding the new technology, the SDET made the controversial move to unleash a neurotoxin that penetrated environmental suits. All of Dimonroff was flooded with said neurotoxin - with the exception of Veidne, everyone was killed. Moments before the neurotoxin was released, Sirius ordered that Veidne be uploaded to the SANARI unit despite its unfinished state. Shortly afterwards, the unit was shut down, then programmed to reboot once the invasion, and eventually the war, was over so that it was safe once again.

Search for knowledge
Veidne survived the procedure, but a system error prevented the successful synchronization of her long term memories. Lost and confused, she followed the protocol - to discover what had happened.
