Daisy's Runs
Route logs from a Paper Saints courier.
Filed by hand. No commlink signature. No digital record. These logs were obtained through analog means Agent M declines to specify.
Provenance Note - Agent M
Paper Saints couriers keep no digital records. These logs were filed in a physical ledger, in her handwriting, in a language she uses only for route documentation. I don't know if she knows anyone reads them. I don't know what I would say if she asked.
