Summary of Receipt
8 gets a letter from Astrid, the head of Astoria 23rd congratulating them on dealing with the Twice Third Temple. Astrid wants them to retrieve the Grand Grimoire from the Vatican City, though they’d have to deal with the Knights Templar. Apparently, it doesn’t exist on her version of Earth, which is apparently in 2113.

RECEIPT: LETTERFROMASTORIA01
STATUS: OPEN
We received a rather odd letter in the mail today from “Alexia Pseudonymous.” The stamp at the bottom all but spells it out, though. This has to be a letter from Astrid, head of A23. We must be moving up in the world. It seems pretty straightforward though, we get the book for her, and she “rewards us handsomely.” Yeah right. This reeks of a setup. Not to mention I’m not really in the mood to break international laws right now, and last I checked, the Vatican is not an Indigo Country. I would like to know why Astrid needs the Grand Grimoire, but I also think we should play it smart.
Oh yeah… what does she mean by our version of Earth? Also 2113? Something’s up. Something’s way up.
Yours in the present,
