Shelby Forthright was the CEO of Buy n Large Corporation in the early 22nd century. It was his idea to evacuate Earth, as it was too choked with trash. He also proposed Operation Recolonize, in which trash compactor robots and mobile incinerators would clean up the Earth while humanity stayed aboard starships like the Axiom. However, after a few years, Forthright was convinced that the operation had failed. He ordered all planetbound machines turned off (though one was missed), and secretly sent Directive A-113 to all Auto units.
