Summary of Receipt
62 decides to infiltrate Astoria with 53 while they're away in Tuskkin, since most of their divisions should be away. The Zulu Cult would be the only real danger, but they're enigmatic at best and probably don't care too much about Astoria as a whole.

CAFE AND DINER RECEIPT FROM */25/17
MANAGER 62
RECEIPT: COLUMNTRIP06
STATUS: FULL SERVICE
Hey, 62 here. I was able to get a hold of an interesting salt and pepper snack. It seems like our Friends over at the Column have been dealing with some sort of major issue since the 21st. Something along the lines of an outbreak in another country. And when I say country, I don’t mean Canada. Though I’m not exactly sure which country they’ve gotten tied up with. In any case, I suppose this confirms that the Blood Moon and the Total Eclipse Specials did have some kind of impact, at least on their business.
However… with the S&P busy, now would be a great time to do some digging around the Column while they are away. I know * was just up there last week, but I think 53 and I are gonna take our own little trip up north. I’d like to see if we can’t get some of their info on the whole Blood Moon Special and if it’s related to this outbreak in another country. The plan is 53 will deliver a singing telegram while I rummage around back.
Is this a bit risky? Sure. But opportunities like this don’t come around too often. From the chatter I was able to pick up, it seems like A-I has been swept up in this affair, along with miscellaneous Js-Ws. The worst we might run into is the Zs, but I’m hoping they won’t really care what we’re doing. I’ve always gotten the vibe that they don’t care much about their actual outfit and prefer to use them as a source of funding. Well, we’ll update you if we find anything worth sharing.
