On paper, everything looked clean—almost too clean. Supply chains matched expected outputs, manifests aligned with operational reports, and inventory logs passed audits without raising flags. But when Imani cross-referenced internal timing patterns—shipment intervals against patrol rotations, warehouse activity against maintenance schedules—small inconsistencies began to surface.
Fuel shipments that moved without corresponding convoy records.
Equipment transfers processed during windows when oversight was… conveniently thin.
Restricted cargo that passed through checkpoints without triggering secondary verification.
Individually, none of it was enough to accuse anyone of anything.
