Crate!

Two days ago, the Anachronism Intermodal Transportation Center and Mail Depot received an unexpected crate. "It's as though the thing materialized out of thin air," said AITC&MD's manager, Juanita Fernwood. "And it's heavy as all heck. Our poor little forklift is trapped under it."

Until a full roll call of AITC&MD's employees can be completed, they won't know if there's more than a forklift trapped under there.

This week's Chief of the Anachronism Police Department, Hikaru Takei, had this to say:

"All I can say is this. We don't want to start a panic over mystery crates, antimatter weapons, or whatever; we're just going to have to wait and see what happens. I've sent one of our best wait and seers, Officer Randall "Red" Shurt (pictured), to go wait and see. If his waiting pays off with something to see, I'm pretty sure he will cling on to his sense of duty long enough to let the rest of the Department know before he warps out of town (or dies trying).

"Just in case, though, I'm sending someone else to wait and see what Shurt does."
