Clue 3: Or, uh, what's the name of this archive?
Answer and Explanation
Answer: Twice Third Temple
Explanation: The Salvation Cult - Mr. Diptera - is also known as the Twice Third Temple.
Summary of Receipt
125, 134 and 224 investigate the flyer 125 found and tracked down the cult's phone number. When called, a voice introduces themself as part of Solomon's Twice Third Temple, warning the caller not to fear Crow, the Higher Beings, the Flies, or 'what comes next'. After a long pause, a robotic voice says 'goodbye' and the line hangs up. 134 suspects the long pause is intended for a password to be given, but it's not really smart to try and brute-force it so.

“I’m not superstitious, but I am a little stitious.”
Hey gang, 224 here along with 125 and 134. We’ve been doin’ some diggin’ into the flyer 125 found and we’ve got something. So, for a while we’ve been trying to track down the phone number that was on the flyer, but it was a local number. We didn’t find that specific number, but we did find a working number! If we had to guess this is the main line. Here’s what you get if you call it.
“You seek salvation Solomon’s Twice Third Temple can help.
Do not fear Crow.
Do not fear the Higher Beings.
Do not fear the Flies.
Do not fear what comes next.
[After about 10 seconds of silence a computerized female voice says “goodbye” and the line automatically hangs up]”
Sooo… yeah that’s BIG CHILLS. If it wasn’t obvious that this was a cult before, it’s definitely a cult now. Gosh, I do love a good cult. Anyway, that long silence is odd. 134 thinks you’re supposed to enter like a password to get in otherwise the call drops. I don’t think it’s an amazing idea to just start brute forcing it especially if they can track us somehow.
The good news is this seems to be connected with the whole weird fly thing and Mrs. Amsiam and all that business. So now we just need to:
Figure out who or what Crow is.
Figure out who or what the Higher Beings are.
Figure out what the Flies have to do with this.
Stop whatever is coming next.
A tall order for sure, but one the Cafe and Diner can certainly fill.
