A supernatural cosmic space fish, here on purpose

It was a cold day at the factory in January when I found out I had been visited by a cosmic fish, a sage fish.

The funny thing is you don't know until you're right smack dab in the middle of it, and that's the beginning I guess of this whole silly story.

This adventure of uncovering the mysteries of our spiritual what have you.

THE LORE

Origin (disputed)

Hatched from a bubble in a nebula that no telescope will admit to seeing. The bubble popped. The fish remained. Nobody has produced a birth certificate and nobody has produced a rebuttal.

Purpose (stated)

To uncover the mysteries of the spiritual realm. Progress so far: 3 mysteries uncovered, 41 new mysteries accidentally created, 1 mystery befriended.

Method (questionable)

Float above a place until it starts telling the truth, then draw the truth before it changes its mind. This takes between four minutes and eleven months.

Diet (unsettling)

Ambient dread, gas station coffee, the specific silence right before a thunderstorm.
