The Meteor Locker — Where Missing Things Eventually Reappear
Items stored in our Meteor Locker may experience minor time dilation. Some objects have aged decades, others haven't aged at all, and a few seem to exist in multiple timelines simultaneously.
All items in the Lost & Found are stored in our proprietary Meteor Locker behind the front counter. Due to the locker's unique temporal properties (inherited from a salvaged wormhole generator), please be aware:
If any of these belong to you, please see Grath at the front counter. Bring identification and a sense of adventure.
Found: Booth 7 • 3 rotations ago
Approximately fist-sized, emits soft purple glow. Has been predicting staff dreams with unsettling accuracy. Please claim immediately — it's starting to predict customer orders before they arrive.
Found: Docking Bay 3 • 47 years ago (locker time)
Classic bubble design with original fog prevention system. Interior still smells faintly of Cosmic Cappuccino. Name tag reads "Captain ████████" — the rest has been redacted by time itself.
Found: Under Table 12 • 2 weeks ago
Contains what appears to be an entire opera in an unknown language. Plays automatically at 3 AM station time. Vox-9 claims it's "a masterpiece" but refuses to translate.
Found: Dessert Incident #47 • 6 months ago
Finally re-emerged from the brownie's gravitational field. Slightly stretched in one dimension. Owner may also want to claim the fork and teaspoon that came out with it.
Found: Left by cloaked figure • 1 week ago
Wax seal appears to be made of crystallized starlight. Has started humming. Management has relocated it to the freezer as a precaution. We're not opening it. Don't ask.
Found: Viewing Deck • Unknown duration ago
Beautiful antique design. Keeps perfect time, just... in reverse. Engraved with "To my past self, with regrets." Makes a lovely ticking sound that somehow echoes before it happens.
Found: Sugar Crystal Storage • 3 rotations ago
Half-full mason jar containing what appears to be genuine starlight. Label reads "For Emergencies Only" in three languages (two of which don't exist yet). Warm to the touch.
Found: Near Vox-9's charging station • 2 weeks ago
Translates all languages perfectly, but adds unnecessary sarcastic commentary. Example: "The human says 'hello,' how original." Vox-9 denies any involvement in its condition.
Found: Corner Booth 4C • After "The Regular" left
Contains family photos that seem to update themselves. New people appear, others fade. One photo definitely shows this café... but in a location we don't recognize. Yet.
Success stories from the Meteor Locker — proof that things do eventually find their way home
Claimed by a very relieved 6-year-old after 3 days. Bear had only aged 2 hours in the locker.
Returned to Captain Vex after she remembered where she parked. Only took 3 weeks of orbiting.
Returned to Pippa — she'd been looking for her grandmother's Stardust Macaron recipe for months.
Left after Open Comms Night. Musician returned 6 months later, claiming it "wasn't ready to leave yet."
Don't panic — items have a way of turning up eventually. Sometimes before you even lose them (temporal anomalies are unpredictable like that). Visit Grath at the front counter or send a subspace message to our Lost & Found department.
Starlight Sugar Station is not responsible for items that have: gained sentience, traveled through time, duplicated themselves, developed musical abilities, started predicting the future, or formed emotional attachments to Meteor Locker staff. All claims are processed in the order they will be received.
