That was a hard cup of coffee to sell. Really making me work overtime with all these grand displays of the Canadians among us. Though, I suppose the blame for this one lies squarely on a bit too much sodium in these college kids’ diets. Really gotta watch the Top Ramen, huh? Well, after an all-nighter, I think I’ve pulled it off. More or less.
As far as the physical remains of any sort of unauthorized airports in the Long Beach Pyramid, #71’s method of closure worked perfectly. There was no trace left nor further tremors to worry about. There was some slight structural damage to the Pyramid itself, but I think no one will notice. The real damage was done with the twelve or so undergrads that got roped into working on Papa’s little project.
Of the twelve, to my knowledge, only six held any sort of “authority” on the project. The other half never saw the airport and would have been totally unaware of what they were actually working on. They were being used to monitor seismometers and crunch massive amounts of data that would be impossible to trace back to Canada. Now, of the six that were clued into Papa’s schemes, it looks like the Agency has taken two of them on board as Yankees, so that’s at least taken care of. The two I was able to get in touch with are now fully convinced that they were being tricked into an elaborate telemarketing/gemstone scam. They were being used for their position as research students to add “validity” to the claims of Carl and Philip’s elaborate healing new age radiated gemstones. I made a fake website, and I gave them some gems to keep as souvenirs, and they seemed happy enough.
…the other two… well… they might be harder to convince. They’ve joined some sort of “Cafe No Diner” organization.
