Object
Subpoenaed Internal-Investigation Packet
A slim sheaf of letter‑size pages — printed reports, memos, and a few stapled exhibits — showing creased corners, marginal notes, and the faint wear of hurried handling. The packet looks legal in form (headings, dated entries, and clipped exhibits) though no single sheet is shown on camera; characters invoke it by name, and it hangs over conversations as an implied, combustible object.

Purpose
To assemble investigative findings, statements, and documentary evidence for legal disclosure, subpoena response, or deposition review.
Significance
The packet embodies JOSH's immediate legal vulnerability: mentioned as material now subject to subpoena, it operates as a prospective political weapon, forcing staff to balance ethics, damage control, and personal loyalty. Its existence propels negotiation, foreshadows leaks or press exposure, and crystallizes internal friction that complicates the larger crisis.
