“The stacks,” Tulip said while I realized a giant tree stood off to one side, laden with different kinds of fruits and that the bottom shelf of the nearest storage tower meant for technical equipment actually held a sword and shield glittering gold. “They're sorting the wrong items.”

“How very odd.” Seshat touched the nearest stack with a hesitant hand as if whatever was going on might rub off on her. “And you've been noticing this throughout the Repository?”

But, is she the harbinger of Armageddon or something even more dangerous?
