MEMO 002 // The Paperclip Discovery

From the Desk of: C.B. Krowe
Status: Active Assignment
Location: [Redacted]

It started with a box.

An unremarkable beige banker’s box, sealed with yellowing tape, buried beneath fax machine manuals and unopened bulk toner shipments in a defunct office supply warehouse. But inside?

Cassettes. Memos. Flyers.

All bearing the same name: The Salesmen.

At first, I thought it was an elaborate prank — maybe an art student’s thesis on late-stage capitalism. But then I played one of the tapes. The hiss. The hum. And then the song:

“Sitting at my desk on a Monday morning…”

-Johnny Sales

And just like that, I wasn’t in 2025 anymore.

I’ve spent the last two weeks chasing trails no one else sees. The branding. The patterns. The frequency bursts embedded in the audio. And now, a new signal — visual this time — has emerged:

Is this a message from the past? A warning about our present?
Or a recruitment tool?

Whatever it is, I’m in. And if you’re reading this, maybe you’re ready too.

Recovered. Reassigned. Redeemed.
— C.B. Krowe

P.S. I found them. You need them. The world needs them. Who am I to say?
More about me later. I’m just a seeker like you.
