Summary of Receipt
17 sends a receipt retrieved from the Astoria databases regarding Astoria’s connection to the Temple. There’s been a donation from ‘Zee’s Bakery’ to the Temple, which is suspicious since Z is short for Zulu, Astoria’s cult investigation division. It’s still a bit weird, but still.

CAFE AND DINER RECEIPT FROM 10/19/17
MANAGER 17
RECEIPT: ASALTYCONNECTION01
STATUS: OPEN
While we were unable to find any direct connections between Astoria 23 and Solomon’s Twice Third Temple during our recent raid of their local branch, we do have this document. It was acquired by 62 back in... I want to say August? When he went to the Column with 53. There’s a few other files of interest packed away in the “salt shakers” he managed to copy. Though * has asked to keep most of them offline for the time being. Now you might be wondering, how does this connect the Temple to A23? Well, the connection isn’t super clear, but “Zee’s Bakery” is a bit of a red flag, no? Z. As in Zulu. And clearly, they have or had a lot of money to throw around. From my understanding, the Zulu Division of A23 specializes in “Cult Affairs” to the point they are considered a cult themselves. So it makes sense they would be tied together, though why the Temple needed the influx of cash and why Zulu wanted to help remains unknown. Assuming Zee’s Bakery is indeed the Zulu Division of A23. It’s not much, but take a look for yourself. I'll keep looking at the other files we were able to acquire from both the Temple and Astoria and see if I can make some more "solid" connections.
