The following account was recorded in the agent's log during your transmission: Rainwater's collecting on the curved surface of a gigantic, partially deflated beach ball, creating a surreal lens effect that warps the surrounding environment. Umm, inside the beach ball, there's this...perfectly still, miniature replica of a tropical island, complete with swaying palm trees and a crescent-shaped beach. Outside, a cryptic message from Cicada 3301 is scrolling up the side of the beach ball, somehow burning itself into the rubber. The air's thick with the smell of saltwater and sunscreen.
