United Nations Anomalous Materials Containment Agency (UNAMCA)

The United Nations Anomalous Materials Containment Agency (UNAMCA) is an autonomous UN-funded agency created in 1947 to investigate, secure and research anomalous artifacts and phenomena from around the world that pose a risk to humanity. The UN created the agency in response to the rising reports and use of these "anomalous materials" (AMs) since the end of World War II. Due to the need for secrecy and its requirements for international security, knowledge of its existence is limited to representatives of members of the United Nations Security Council who fund and staff the agency.

UNAMCA has three goals:

To identify and investigate AMs worldwide through the use of the UNAMCA Analyst and Investigative divisions.

To safely acquire AMs and prevent evidence of its existence from reaching the general populace through the use of UNAMCA Response divisions.

To safely contain and monitor AMs, identifying risks to humanity and developing new technologies to assist the above goals through the use of UNAMCA Research divisions. 

Analysts operate solely from UNAMCA headquarters, utilising massive data centers to process public telecommunications, data storage and internet usage. Analysts identify situations that may involve AM's who in turn alert local UNAMCA Investigators to their existence.

Investigators operate from satellite UNAMCA offices posted worldwide and are the initial "boots on the ground". They are recruited from local police and security agencies, using their contacts and knowledge to interface with them. Investigators question or interrogate witnesses, remove evidence and spread disinformation relating to AMs and identify the threat level associated with them.

Response divisions are specially trained operatives who act as a "response in force" team who react to emergencies involving dangerous AMs. They are trained in a number of areas, including combat, biocontainment and large-area evidence removal.
