An automated message awaits Caspar one afternoon: "Good Afternoon Sir, Your Package is Ready for Pick Up at Nexus Terminal 886754.5678"

If Caspar goes to said Terminal, he will find a plain box, wrapped with a string ribbon. Inside the box is a large bag of Black Ivory Coffee, one of the most expensive coffees known on Earth.

There is no note or anything else in the box. If Caspar tests the coffee, out of suspicion, he will find no concern. It is just really good damn coffee.

Well, that's weird. Caspar occasionally purchases things in the Nexus that need to be picked up at a terminal, but doesn't have any outstanding orders currently.

He goes to get it, anyway, and the mystery only deepens. Who got him such expensive coffee? The small group of people he considers friends generally don't do things anonymously. It could be some sort of business promotion, but that makes even less sense. What sort of coffee shop doesn't advertise their generosity?

It's not from Adia, either. "Maybe an elephant sent it to you," she says jokingly, after they research the brand.

He tests it, but finds nothing dangerous or unusual about it. He ends up drinking it, because it's good coffee and it'd be a shame to let it go to waste, but in the back of his mind, it bothers him that he can't figure out who it's from.
