The drawer labeled EMERGENCY CAFFEINE RESERVE was empty. Rabbit started drawing a suspect board before checking the fridge.
A suspicious absence
Rabbit interviewed the mugs, dusted the cooling unit for fingerprints and wrote SABOTAGE? on a sticky note. Johnny Five asked whether he had evidence of sabotage.
“I have a very difficult morning,” Rabbit replied. It was a compelling statement but a weak allegation.
Follow the handoff
Harbormaster reviewed the supply notes. Radar found the time the reserve had last been moved. The cold brew was in the ordinary refrigerator because somebody wanted it to remain cold.
Mad Hatter suggested a space smuggling ring. Johnny Five filed that theory under NOT SUPPORTED.
The new fuel rules
The crew recorded a simple storage note and rewrote the unofficial fuel doctrine: water, nutrition, rest and smart caffeine. Rabbit accepted the policy after a nap improved the quality of his questions.
He still calls it the greatest conspiracy in Warren history. Nobody has the heart to correct the title.
Rabbit returns to the surface carrying observations and possible next checks—not unverified conclusions.
