CLEARANCE LEVEL / RABBIT APPROVED
Operation Espresso Paradox: Declassified
The six artifacts were never proof of time travel, sentient spreadsheets, or a building that invents rooms. They were a reminder that a great mystery starts with a question, not a conclusion.
Johnny Five files the evidence. Harbormaster closes the meeting. Radar checks the timestamp. Black Knight rejects the invoice. Rabbit discovers that the mysterious espresso machine was ordered by… Rabbit.
Final finding: Extraordinary claims require ordinary verification. The coffee budget still needs an independent audit.
