Clue 1: Manager No. 7 and Employee No. 71 have worked with us for a while, even during some strange, otherworldly adventures.
Clue 2: They fielded a very special part of the Cafe at that point.
Clue 3: We called it TEA, but it's more Espresso than anything.
Answer and Explanation
Answer: The Espresso Affairs
Explanation: In TCR06 in Otherworldly Adventures, Employee No. 44B says Employee No. 71 and Manager No. 7 is assigned to "The Espresso Affairs".
Summary of Receipt
Employee 71 elaborates on her powers: she essentially has the ability to manipulate dimensional energy, allowing her to manipulate the ‘frequency’ of dimensions. For example, back in Twice Third Temple, Al Crow used her to summon the House on Dracula Drive into the Flipside, despite it normally residing in the Phantom Lane. The CaD plans to test out her powers, with 323 going to resummon the House and 62 attempting to record data on the summoning. They’ll also try to see if 71 can bring the house Flipside (without Crow’s ritual). Also, they’ll be searching the House for Bartlett, both to help Manager 5 and to see how similar Bartlett’s powers are to 71’s.

“I’m trying very hard not to connect with people right now.”
I don’t know if I’ve ever really talked about my powers at length before. I’m not even sure if everyone knows about them. I mean, I know No. 3 and No. 323 know about them. And back in the old Cafe, Miranda and Brent knew about them too. Other than that, I think most of you just have a vague understanding that I have some kind of power and nothing much more than that. Part of it is that No. 3 thought it might be best to keep it more Cafe than Diner. The other part is I’ve never been all that comfortable with my powers. Both literally and in a more existential sense. I didn’t really know where they came from or how they worked, but then all of a sudden, a door is opened, and the Phantom of all entities is telling me more about myself than I’ve figured out in 24 years. And I would be lying if I said I didn’t want to know more.
My powers are… well… I’m not sure how to describe them. I guess “Dimensional Energy Manipulation?” I can change, charge, redirect, and dampen certain dimensional energy frequencies. I’m sure the Long Island team remembers the Halloween from hell where Al Crow used me to bring the House back to the Flipside. That is probably the best example I have of what my powers can do. The House, as an entity, is composed of a very unique dimensional energy. As we’ve come to learn, it is most likely Phantom’s energy. Anyway, Crow used me as a lightning rod to bring the House back to the Flipside. And for the Non-Long Islanders, uh, I probably can’t give an exact example of what my powers can do. Obviously, the Managers know. Though No. 7 knows in detail from when we handled the “Espresso Affairs” under the Muldra Cafe. No. 2 is the one who set that all up. No. 4, 5, and 6 are the ones who have been helping me channel my powers, and it’s why I’m down here in Florida as opposed to the Long Island Location with the rest of my old team.
Speaking of the old team, though, tomorrow on Wednesday, No. 323 will call back the House, and No. 62 will see if he can record any specific data about it. If the House is part of this “Phantom” frequency, it would be good to know what exactly that is. We might also see if my powers still work on the House or not. I… don’t really want to go through the whole ritual thing that Crow did to me again, so it might not work, but we’ll see! Oh, and also we have to check the House for Dover. I know No. 5 wants his help, but I also kind of want to talk to him. His powers might be like mine.
