Summary of Receipt
Employee 17 finds another poem by Miss. Bad, mentioning how the first piece of Olympus' Antekey - a pearl, likely from Poseidon - is in New Orleans, 17's home. It's also somehow linked to Leviathan and the Black Tide. In any case, 17 suspects that the Olympus Antekey is in fact a Key of Three, one for Poseidon, Hades and Zeus. Of course, since their main focus is the Antekeys, it'll be an all-hands-on-deck situation, so they'll be using Blackwood Manor as their temporary base for the time being.

It would seem Miss. Bad has left us another poem on her check, as our beloved Manager No. 2 predicted. It reads:
“Dark tomb below the ocean deep,
Sleeps the beast of hellish creep.
Slow his sunken maw will gape,
Swallowing all who can’t escape.
‘O the dark ‘n mighty God of Sea,
Hides a piece of the first Antekey.
Should it be found in Blackwood’s home?
Lost ashore in Eldritch foam?
It takes the form of precious pearl,
Deep below where the Black Tides twirl.”
Well, we can assume that the first of the four Antekeys Manager No. 2 can thus be found in my hometown of the Big Easy. The key has taken the form of a pearl and seems tied to Miss. Neptune. Though Miss. Bad’s poem does indicate that it is only a piece of the final Antekey. Perhaps it is a key of three? One of what lies below, one of the skies, and one of the seas? That would seem to make the most sense, at least to me. And it perhaps explains the rumor Mrs. Celaeno shared with us regarding Miss. Neptune, Pluto, and Jupiter.
Which… well, no. I suppose it’s best not to speculate too much on the affairs of those in Quebec. What we need to focus on is retrieving these Antekeys for No. 2, as he has been such a gracious investor in our operations. We’re going to need all hands on deck down in the Big Easy, for things down there always tend to be a bit… strange, eh? We can work out of my family’s manor as it should have more than enough amenities for the coffee trade. No. 26 will takes us there in our designated teams tomorrow.
