[Letter, wax seal broken, recovered from revolutionary cache]

To the Marquis de Lafayette,

The storming proceeds according to the established timeline, yet I must report an irregularity that demands your immediate attention. My agents at the Hôtel des Invalides confirm that the armory was accessed at 22 minutes past the seventh hour—yet multiple witnesses of sound mind and repute claim to have seen the gates open at half-past five, a full two hours prior. The powder magazines show evidence of having been accessed before the mob arrived. Most disturbing: seven prisoners found within the fortress have no records of arrest, no identities known to the Crown’s registry, and speak of events yet to occur.

I have calculated the temporal variance at precisely twenty-two sevenths of an hour. This ratio—3.142857—recurs in our observations with disturbing frequency. The mathematics suggest intentionality rather than coincidence.

Awaiting instructions.

C.
