FLW04 (Aug 24, 2017)
Summary of Receipt
17 and 323 receive a message from Hyer telling them to meet him 'when the sun sets and the beasts are asleep'. 17 thinks it's possible Hyer's referring to the flies that have been showing up in the Hotbed. Confirmed to be the same ones made by Diptera, perhaps removing the customer attracting the flies might cause the 'beasts' to 'fall asleep'.

CAFE AND DINER RECEIPT FROM */24/17
MANAGER 17
RECEIPT: MRHYER04
STATUS: OPEN
We've got another reservation with Mr. Hyer booked. Last night shortly after posting my receipt, both of our CaDComs displayed a strange message which read:
"Meet me. Come together. Alone. You will know where. I know where. So, I know you will know where. Not now. Not today. Things don't look good today. Perhaps later. When the sun sets and the beasts are asleep. You will know when. When I know when."
So that's… good? I think? It certainly sounds like 323, and I will just have to wait here until the sun sets and the beasts are asleep, which could be tomorrow, next week, next month, or who knows? I see now why the old CaD receipts of Mr. Hyer don't speak highly of his ability to, uh, make sense. They did mention that he helped greatly following the fire of '97, so he's fairly trustworthy. But how does he know he can trust us? In any case, it seems like he knows something we don't and is willing to talk, so it looks like we'll have to do lunch.
Though, I have one theory as to what the "beasts" could be. Flies. Though we haven't seen nearly as many as 3311 and 3113 saw in Lone Star, there does seem to be an unusual amount of flies buzzing around the Hotbed, and more so since the 21st. Not only that, we managed to catch a few of them, and they are fairly reactive to a certain solvent concoction, meaning these flies are feasting on something they shouldn't be. If the usual pattern continues, these flies should drop dead in a few more days, and perhaps then Mr. Hyer will be ready to speak with us again.
