Explanation: In The Martian, a story from The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury (who is famous for his novel, Fahrenheit 451), a Martian takes the place of Tom, the son of a couple. The story itself is set in September 2005, ten years from when this receipt is written.
Summary of Receipt
62 does some investigation and spots Pleasant wandering around where 53 saw her. 62 suspects that Pleasant might be trying to destroy a massive road, namely Interstate 405. I think. There probably aren’t any other major roads in the USA named 405.

Shill was right. Pleasant is on the move in and around Santa Ana, Costa Mesa, and Newport Beach. I figured it'd be a good idea to set up some game cams around the general area where Shill saw Pleasant. And out of the 20 cams I set up, I got 6 hits. 3 in Costa Mesa, 2 in Newport Beach, and 1 hit in Santa Ana. Now, obviously, this is a bit out of the way of the church. I guess when you aren't subject to traffic, it's not that far, but still weird that she's lurking around this area. Especially considering, well, actually that coffee might be too hot for the Cafe. I'll put it this way, it's interesting that she's flying around here and in that pattern. It doesn't really discount the possibility that she's watching us specifically, does it?
Well, we know that Umbra knows our location, so I assume if Umbra knows, then Pleasant knows, and of course, Padre should know too. Maybe it's a scare tactic? A warning? Pleasant sure does love her warnings. Speaking of, that's the other thing I'm worried about. As we all know, Pleasant likes to cause a scene, especially near roads and bridges, and it almost looks like she's sizing up the 405. While she does love a good game of bridge, she doesn't mind a drive either. I think as long as it's a traveled path, it's fair game in her big scary eyes.
So, where does that really leave us? Well, we need to be ready to stop her if she is going to try and take down a section of the 405, and we also need to be ready to relocate if she is trying to close in on our location. Again, she should already know where we are, but so far, we haven't had any visits from her directly. You know, maybe Trigano is actually keeping her away? I hate this. Too many unknowns. We know that Pleasant is flying way too close to us and way too close to a major highway. And we know she's out of her glamor often. That screams unnecessary risk, and I doubt Padre likes unnecessary risks.
