Seven articles, one recurring failure mode. A brick wall no worship service could detect. A fence with an unlocked gate nobody mentioned. A box everyone agreed was empty. A queen the ants never think to ask about. A four-foot coordinate offset. This week, every sensor in the building measured the wrong thing, correctly.
