CIN-3201 - "The Land That Always Was"
Catalog Index Number: CIN-3209

Item Classification: Benign, Uncontained

Protocol For Containment:
Due in part to the size of the anomaly as well as its heavily populated nature, CIN-3209 is entirely uncontainable. Instead, an information quarantine regarding theories about the impossibility of the landmass is kept in effect permanently. Members of the scientific community who state that CIN-3209 is impossible are to be discredited and studies published about the nature of the anomaly are to be destroyed.

Description:
CIN-3209 is a landmass, roughly the size of California, located in the North Atlantic Ocean between the United States of America and Portugal. It is better known as the Independent Nation of Robloxia. Upon its manifestation in January of 2004, CIN-3209 exerted a reality warping effect that changed written history and altered the memory of every living creature on earth. Under its effect, no creature living at or after this point could recall a time where Robloxia did not exist. Although written accounts vary in detail, the general consensus of historians is that the continent was officially discovered by Italian explorer Christopher Columbus on the return trip of his first voyage. To date, only one discrepancy in CIN-3209’s effect has been discovered by the agency through the records of a defunct shipping company based out of the state of Rhode Island (See Audio Recording “3209 Discovery-1”) and corroborated by CCA Field Agents (See Video Recording “3209 Discovery-2”). Parallel to its initial effect, CIN-3209 populated itself with visually distinct humanoid creatures designated as CIN-3209-1. Genetic analysis of several deceased CIN-3209-1 instances by Dr. Heart showed conclusive evidence that, with the exception of minor mutations such as phenotypes resulting in skin pigmentation ranging the color spectrum, instances of CIN-3209-1 were genetically identical to humans (See Document “3209-1 Klein-Heart Interview”).

Addendum “3209 Discovery-1”:
The following is transcribed audio of a conversation between Dr. Harrison Klein and former operations manager of Providence Transport, Ethan James.

{As the recording begins, Dr. Klein is mid sentence}
Klein: -do you mind being recorded?
James: Not at all, no. Go ahead.
Klein: Good, good. You understand I’m doing research on various nautical mysteries then?
James: Yeah, you were pretty clear in your email, but I may not be as big a help as you were hoping.
Klein: How do you figure?
James: Well, I wasn’t with the company in 04.
Klein: Of course. Well I was still hoping you be able to shed some light on the internal records from the time. I assume the operations manager before you kept them.**
James: I see. {he pauses for a moment and then sighs.} Well, unfortunately I don’t have any of those files on me. I’ll tell you whatever I can though.
Klein: That’s all I’m asking, Mr. James. If you know anything about it, I’d like to know about the SS Sea Mule.
James: That old ghost story? They told it to all the new hires, probably to get us to pay more attention to our jobs. Still not sure how much of it I believe.
Klein: My understanding is that the supplies she was carrying never reached Portugal. What do you think happened to her.
James: Hard to be certain, but I don’t think it’s some Bermuda Triangle type of thing.
Klein: Surely the planned route gleamed some sort of lead.?
James: That’s just the thing. I’ve seen the route they planned for her and it’s garbage.
Klein: Garbage? Why’s that?
James: It just- It- It doesn’t make sense. The route they planned for the Mule went straight through Robloxia.
{There is a longer pause before Dr. Klein can be heard standing up.}
James: What? That’s it? You gotta want more than that?
Klein: Thank you for your time, Mr. James. I’ll let you know if anything turns up.

Addendum “3209 Discovery-2”:
On April 7th, 2022, reports surfaced out of a coal mine north of ||New Austin||. The miners claimed to local authorities as well as the local news that they had found a steel wall hidden behind a deposit of coal. These claims were officially dismissed as a hoax and field agents were deployed.

The following document contains transcribed video footage of agents Wesley Todd and Peter Nolan when they arrived at the ||New Austin|| coal mine. The camera used to record the video depicts Agent Nolan’s perspective.

Nolan: I hardly see why we both need to be here.
Todd: You’re kidding, right?
Nolan: Not at all. All we’re doing is checking out this wall and reporting back. If we hear anything on the other side they’ll send a CTF unit in our place.
Todd: If there was only one of us here and there was a hostile entity then that person would die and nobody would know until was too late. That’s textbook.
{Agent Nolan sighs into his bodycam’s microphone.}
Nolan: Yeah… You’re right.
Todd: Besides, we may decide to take a closer look. Never know, y’know.
Nolan: I know.
{They walk down the mine…
