Case Files

[[Category:{{#switch:|File=Files|Template=Templates|articles}} in need of completion]]

The Case Files are PRT designation for investigations it has conducted.<ref name="II1.1">Official files. Classification documents. Then there were the notes for case one, case fifteen, case thirty-two, case fifty-three, case ninety. The ‘cases’ were the events the PRT had deemed of interest. Riddles both solved and unsolved. My collection there was incomplete, but some were official enough to be confidential, and I’d never had that access. Others were closed, the mystery deemed nonexistent or something to be folded into popular knowledge. - Excerpt from Daybreak 1.1</ref> The number comes from sequential investigations with each files being an investigation that was started chronologically after the previous one.<ref name="R1.2">It's not about scale. It's about 'this is something we as an organization need to look into'. - Comment by Wildbow on reddit</ref>

If it has to do with parahumans the PRT willlook into it until the situation is resolved.<ref name ="I28 e1"> What Alexandria had termed Case fifty-threes, after the fifty third file in a series of unresolved, difficult-to-explain parahuman events, one of the only ones to truly develop in their records. The Doctor had termed them deviants. - Excerpt from Interlude 28</ref> The PRT handles many odd and strange things. Theirs is a eternal quest to keep people safe and well.

  “I can’t tell you how bummed I am that it isn’t case sixty-nine instead, but no, that number went to a bigfoot sighting or something stupid. A stupid bit of immature humor would’ve been the one good thing in this mess of a thing.” - Excerpt from Flare 2.6</ref>
• The Fallen<ref name="R2.2">From the PRT Case Files...
