IEYTD Timeline

It has come to my attention that some confusion has arose in my last post about the dates in which the IEYTD games take place

I'm back to hopefully clear this up with a timeline based on what I've found 👍

(evidence + breakdown first, full timeline at the end)

Firstly, we know the games take place in the 60s based on the books found in Winter Break (IEYTD 1)

They are dated 1963, placing the events of the first game sometime after that

Our next big date comes from First Class (IEYTD 1) in the newspaper about Anna Ulanova

It is dated "Sunday, 30 October, 19--"

The Sunday portion is incredibly helpful, as October 30 falls on different days different years. The first occurance of it being a Sunday post 1963 is in 1966, the next one being 1977 which is far out of the time range.

This makes the full date of First Class "Sunday, 30 October, 1966"

The next two dates come from the Death Engine (IEYTD 1) in the Z-Mail files

The Madrid targeting (July 30) is in reference to Seat of Power (IEYTD 1) when Phoenix blows up the Zoraxis base using the Death Engine

The orange juice update (August 1) was the most recent mail, making the events of the Death Engine post-August 1

Both Jul 30 for Seat of Power and post-Aug 1 for Death Engine happen in 1977, as these missions take place after Phoenix's train escapade in October, making it a 9 month time jump inbetween

1977 as the year is further implied in IEYTD 2 with Stage Fright, as it's etched under the desk Phoenix is working at

We know this game takes place definitevly in August, as seen on the clapperboard during Safe and Sound

This makes the rest of the missions in the game simple to figure out as well, since they take place over the course of a week (Stage Fright 4 days prior, Jet Set 3 days, etc etc)

August 18, 1967 - Stage Fright

August 19, 1967 - Jet Set

August 20, 1967 - Eaves Drop

August 21, 1967 - Party Crasher

August 22, 1967 - Safe and Sound & Rising Phoenix

The third game is widely the most unhelpful for providing dates

Phoenix's liscense is dated 1967, but as it expires in 1968 it could also be the next year

The only other item I found that would indicate the time period of the game is in the file given to Phoenix by the Phantom at the end of the game

It is stamped September 17, making the events of the game somewhere around that

Typically I would say they're prior, but September 17 is the postmark. The postmark is dated when the package is dropped off at the post office, not necessarily when it arrives at its destination.

Do I think that this file got to Phoenix by normal, conventional means? No not really, but the point still stands

Im more inclined to place the 3rd game in 1977 as well because it means it would be directly after the 2nd, following that trend with the 2nd having started shortly after the 1st.

With that, here is our Complete I Expect You to Die Trilogy Timeline:

IEYTD 1

Friendly Skies to Winter Break: Pre-October 1966

First Class: October 30, 1966

Seat of Power: July 30, 1967

Death Engine: Post August 1, 1967

IEYTD 2

Stage Fright: August 18, 1967

Jet Set: August 19, 1967

Eaves Drop: August 20, 1967

Party Crasher: August 21, 1967

Safe and Sound: August 22, 1967

Rising Phoenix: August 22, 1967

IEYTD 3

House Call to KBOOM: Around September 1967

[wyvchard]

Reginald: Agent, is that a letter from Zoraxis? Agent Phoenix, currently burning said letter: Maybe. Reginald: Why would they send you a letter?! Agent Phoenix: ... It's my old application letter to them, actually. Reginald: What? Why would you- Agent Phoenix: I applied there to prove a point a few years ago. They told me my transcript records are "unacceptable". Reginald: Agent, your records are... *realizes* Did you tamper with your records? Agent Phoenix: Nope! I just "forgot" to find the equivalent and convert it. Reginald: ... You'd been a menace to Zoraxis for a long time, haven't you? Agent Phoenix: Of course I am!

Enjoy a drawing I did of my interpretation of Agent Phoenix

Also here’s some Phoenix headcanons

-uses a cane and leg braces after Rising Phoenix, they obviously survived but like… her legs got fucked up

-started incorporating bandages into their fashion because they were wearing them due to injuries and she thought they looked cool

-Probably has PICA (a disease that causes you to have the urge to eat non-food items)

-has streaks of white hair due to shock and stress

OK BYYYYEEEEE

Agent Phoenix keeping close with Roxana after the events of 3 is a very cute thought when considering that Phoenix would be likely to help her get her last surviving robot back. But it becomes an increasingly funnier thought when considering how often Phoenix and Roxana would probably be caught by a silly robot making himself at home when the two are trying to be affectionate.

YES!!! my god anon I was just literally thinking of writing something where Phoenix brings Right with them in a road trip to search for Prism and reunite them...

Also, yes, I 1000% agree with the silly robot shenanigans! I don't know how Right would react to that...not that he doesn't trust Phoenix, but more so that Prism having company (that wasn't her coworkers) is a rare sight to him. It's always been her and the robots since they gained sentience, and to see her just........ Content and relieved, with a trustworthy companion.. I think Right would be alright with that! Right would be more incredulous of the fact that Prism is getting cuddly with the agent they just tried to kill recently. Strange............... but they turned out to be really nice, so it's ok :3

...All that said, Right barging in the two being kissy-kissy and snuggly would cause some real funny reactions...mostly from Phoenix, who'd get flustered real quickly LMAO I think Prism would take the time to explain all this to her lil robit...in which Right would absolutely tease Phoenix (and Prism, to a lesser extent) about all that.

i miss posting and making and engaging with ieytd content but I will be honest sometimes it feels alienating. as a lesbian.

[phoenix-and-found-family]

Agent 1: Please. Phoenix isn't the best agent in the world.

Agent 2: Are you saying you could take them?

Agent 1: All I'm saying is they shouldn't be going around saying that they're the best.

Agent 3: Did you see the same peace summit video I did?!

Agent 4: I heard they once fought a gang off with a pocket knife...

Agent 5: I heard they completed a mission in two minutes! Two minutes!!

Agent Phoenix: I've heard I can down a bottle of bourbon in one sitting!

Agent 1: Please! None of those sound even remotely true. Most of their wins have been luck alone.

Agent Phoenix: Yeah, the bourbon thing is a lie.

Agent 3:

Agent 4:

Agent 5:

Agent 2: Um, Agent 1...?

Agent 1: See, I knew it- Wait...

Phoenix, leaning against a wall with a bottle of champagne: I can actually do two in one sitting.

[ieytdconfessions]

... I have no idea where this came from and this feels more like an AU.

The reason why Agent Phoenix was so willing to destroy Commander Solaris' work is because they knew each other and Phoenix has a grudge.

This is more fanon territory that is best explored in fanfic and I'm not so sure about the canon stuff to make it work. It's been implied Phoenix is quite knowledgeable in the sciences (the chemistry comment from Squeaky Clean).

Fun Fact! Agent Phoenix had just got the Telekenetic Implant when they start IEYTD 1!

Fun Fact! You don't go under for brain surgery!

so do we remember Agent Phoenix's driver's license that briefly appeared in IEYTD 3 for the Blind Spot mission?

no? well here it is

I made an attempt to decode it 👍

At first glace this may seem fruitless, but if you zoom in on the blacked-out text you can still see the general shapes of each letter slightly above the border, and it's not all gibberish! You can quite easily see "Agent Phoenix" at the top so the rest of it is likely not nonsense either

This is what I found

(I did this project multiple months ago, really almost a year at this point, so I'll try to explain my process as best I could now) (Also disclaimer I don't claim any of this to be purely and exactly canon, this is just what I deciphered)

As you can see most of the information is filled in with letters I copied directly from different areas of the license in order to ensure the font matched up underneath. Slightly above where the photo would be I mapped out the general shape of each letter to narrow down my options as I went letter by letter.

Generally, they followed the same basic shapes

Numbers:

1 - Pointed at the top, flat at the bottom

2 - Round at the top, flat at the bottom

3, 6, 8, 9, and 0 - Round at the top and bottom

4 - Small ridge at the top, stick at the bottom

5 - Flat at the top, round at the bottom

7 - Flat at the top, stick at the bottom

Letters:

A - Small ridge at the top, two prongs at the bottom

B and D - Flat and then curved at the top and bottom

C, G, and O - Round at the top and bottom

E and I - Flat at the top and bottom

F - Flat at the top, stick at the bottom

H, M, N, W, and X - Two prongs at the top and bottom

I think you get the gist of it, it was a very long process.

I'll explain my findings as I went down the card. Agent Phoenix is pretty self-explanatory. You're able to see the small flat top of the A, a portion of the t, and the flat-then-curved top of the P, it wasn't hard to deduce the rest.

The address I didn't complete as it is a made up area after all and was highly difficult with the latter part of the 11-- both having a curved top (which indicated a 2, 3, 6, 8, 9, or 0, not very limiting). The first two were definitely 1's though as it is the only number which comes to a point at the top. (I'm pretty sure the street was Agency St. by the way which is funny)

New York, New York, was also generally easy to figure out from it's shape, and the zip code with 104-- places it somewhere in the Bronx area if I remember correctly

The Sex could only be one of two letters (M or F), and as it comes to two points at the top it's definitely an M

Hair and eye color I assume to both be Brown. The beginning letter starts flat and curves at the end, limiting the options to a B, D, P or R. Hair wise this could be Brown, Black, Blonde, or Red. The lowercase "l" and "d" that are present in every option but Brown would have been visible above the blacked-out line, as the uppercase letters are. You can see this to be true in the "h" and "i" in "Phoenix" and the "k" in "York". Eye color followed this same elimination rule.

Height was pretty easy as it was already generally limited to what was feasible. 4' would be on the short side, 6' on the tall, and 5' in the middle. With the number being flat on the top it was very easy to deduce that Phoenix was within the 5' range. The next number comes to a point, making it a 1, and the next after that is curved. Typically this would circle back to the 0, 3, 6, 8, and 9 problem, but when measuring someone's height the inches it only covers 1-11, and since we already know the first number is a 1, the only number the second one could be is a 0.

Weight starts off with a 1, followed by two curved numbers (yaaaaaay). Generally speaking based on Phoenix's height, 180 is the most reasonable number for them not to be over or underweight. The 3 in 183 is honestly just what I found fit best with the font, but that one really could be a 0, 3, 6, 8, or 9.

And finally the birthday! This was a fun one. Dec 25, 1935, who would have thought Phoenix was born on Christmas? With the DOB having to start with a month the capital letter was already limited to J, F, M, A, S, O, N, and D. When you look at it, it begins flat and progresses into a curve, so with the limitations set by the months we get a D. The actual day can only have it's first number be a 0-3 and its second a 0-9 since there are 01-31 days in the month. The curved top of the first number leaves 2-3, but the flat top of the second number indicates a 5 or 7, neither of which can pair up with the 3 (as there is no 35 or 37 of a month) making the first number 2 by default. Since the bottom of the number isn't visible, when lined up the 5 is what fit the best in comparison to 7.

The year has to be 19--, the games are in the 1960s after all. The thirds number of the year has a curved top, which leaves 0 or 3. Unless Agent Phoenix was born in 190- and is in their 60s during the game, the third number has to be a 3. The fourth number is flat at the top (5 or 7), except this time you can actually see it's also curved at the bottom, making it a 5.

When you put this all together you find that Agent Phoenix lives in New York (no surprises there), has brown eyes and hair, is 5'10", 183lbs, and was 30 years old during the events of the first game (1966), born on December 25, 1935.

I wrote this at near-midnight so I apologize for any grammatical errors and general nonsensicalness as I attempted to put this together My brain doesn't want to form comprehensible words at this time of night so I'll likely review this more extensively later, just wanted to share my findings with anyone who might find them intriguing.

Again, I don't claim that all of this is inherently canon, it was just me attempting to decode this for fun

“There once was a man named Stanley…”

“You’re on a path in the woods…”

“If anyone can pull this off it’s you Agent. Agent Phoenix.”

HANDLER: [by the end of IEYTD 1] You know, Agent - I don't understand your specific kind of insanity.

AGENT PHOENIX: :(

HANDLER: But I do admire your total commitment to it.

AGENT PHOENIX: :)
