RECEIPT #001
FILED UNDER: AND-TTE
DATE: 0E/04/95
EMPLOYEE #62
Received a strange hit on the message board. It's not our typical comfort food, and it's from an ID I don't recognize. Whoever entered the site did it with one password attempt, so they knew what they were doing. Here's the message they left.
"Dear CaD,
First and foremost, I am from the future. Well, a future. Time is cyclical and hyperspheroid in nature. I wouldn't be surprised if you already knew this or were on the verge of this discovery yourselves. I am from an adjacent cycle to your own. When and where I come from is the year 2035, roughly 4.2498CCS from your current cycle. I can't say much because everything I say could and will change the course of this cycle. My goal in contacting you is two-fold. I initially traveled back to 1988 to secure an original BaristaTech CaDCom88 system due to its ability to decrypt various CaDCode Ciphers, most importantly the "Cafe Crisis Cipher." There is a receipt from the Last Cafe that is encrypted using that technique, and it is vital to the survival of my worldline. Possibly yours as well. It's been 7 years now, and I've been observing this worldline's events, and I've noticed a pressing anomaly. I would like to speak with the Owner, if possible, to see what he thinks.
-John Doe"
Strange. I want to say it's legit. It could also be a trick to get face-to-face with the Owner. My main hang-up here is, backwards time travel, in theory, is possible, yes, but incredibly hard to pull off. If this were someone claiming to be from the past, that'd be a different story. Still, the jargon makes sense. I think I'm going to wait and see if our "John Doe" leaves another message. Of course, you're free to take up his order, J, but I think it's best to wait it out and watch their activity on the site.
