Hi everyone. It’s kinda… weird that we’ve got semi-separate CaDComs again. The "Branch" tag determines what we do or don’t see, but we can always mark a receipt as "All Staff" to share it with everyone. Just to be clear, I was against this. I think it’s easier if we’re all in the loop, but I guess each Branch has different priorities to focus on. Long Beach will handle the big-picture stuff, Palm Beach will manage hat tricks and the like, and Long Island... well, it’s basically a Third Cafe V.2, minus No. 1313 and No. 71, who opted to help out in Palm Beach.
I guess the big question is why New York? Why not set up shop somewhere in SoCal again? Well, there are a few reasons the Managers haven’t shared with the Employees, but I think the main reason is that with No. 26 missing, our travel capabilities are pretty limited. Palm Beach covers one of the coffee hubs, but our access to the Hotbed would’ve been restricted. Normally, Hamilton keeps things under control there, but he’s been recruited by the Long Beach Branch, not ours—which is... strange. Again, the Managers know more than I do about who’s going where.
Also, New York was chosen by Manager No. 0 based on a “gut feeling.” Hard to argue with that, I guess. Fortunately, we’re actually pretty close to a lot of our Cafe Family here, especially the Pathologist. We tried to get him to rejoin the Cafe, but he said he’s too busy with his “research”—yes, he actually used air quotes. And knowing him, those air quotes are never a good sign.
Anyway, once we find No. 26 and No. 44, it’ll probably be nice to have three branches to rotate through. Ever since the Crisis, things have been a little cramped.
