+- We spend time leveling up and thanking Adam. 
+- Tubora gains a skill in using the Melodiscape's interface system. Basically she found the owner's manual. 
+- As she scans the computer, it turns out that there is a connection between this place and a government/military org from millions of years ago. Potentially was once thought it could control populations. 
+- In the basement, there is a room with individual sections in it, a laboratory. Someone left a data pad there in the facilities. 
+- Tubora asks Lylistra to lead us to the elevator hidden in the wall. Tadej and her go into the lower levels. 
+- The lower levels are dusty and lights are flickering, it isn't maintained well. 
+- Tadej leads the way and is overcome with a sudden strong bad odor. Some sort of decaying matter. 
+- A humanoid creature has died there, with long eye stocks and an alien body. 
+- Tubora analyses the body and is confused by the anatomy. The alien looks like it shit itself to death? She picks up the data pad next to the body. Her hand feels cold as she picks it up. 
+- Tubora calls for Lilystra again, who is frightened by the body. She says she will shut down the concession stands immediately. Tubora shows her the pad, and it turns out the body heat powers the pad. Tubora tries to stop the shutting of food, but Lilystra insists.
+- Crixus ErhMiGud used to own the data pad. Blood type is G positive. 
+- We hear a massive roar and head to the west wing where the government facilities are at. Lilystra seems to have a mental block to entering the area. She cannot see the door heading to the west. 
+- We dismiss her and examine the door in front of us. There is a slight gap, and Tadej pries the doors open with Tubora's crowbar. 
+- The government section is pitch black, no lights. Tubora, uses a cypher to see far, whereas Tadej uses a torch. 
+- Tubora uses her surgical graft ability to use the cypher cat's eyes but not deplete it. 
+- We enter and it looks like jail cells and large speakers. Possibly were torturing people with Melodiscape music...
+- Tubora plugs her data pad into an outlet in the area and it greets her with "Welcome back Dr. Crixus." She goes through data files. Some of the files mention using music for crowd control or gaining motor function control. "Project Loudmouth" is mentioned, with video feeds showing surgeries and injections leading to mutations of subjects. The subject is put in rooms with others and sound waves assault creatures and cause pain. Later recordings show it destroying a chair. 
+- DM intrusion: dust falls from the ceiling and there is a hole there. A purple head looking down at Tubora, with an aggressive breathing. 
+- Tadej throws fire at the monster after it shouts at Tubora (it damaged her). DM intrusion: the monster is on fire and falls out of the ceiling. He falls on top of Tubora, they are both prone. 
+- The loud thing raises up and shouts at Tadej, impairing him. Tubora stabs it in the throat, impairing its ability to shout.
+- It begins to flee. Tubora gets up from being prone and rolls to heal herself. Tadej kills the creature and then calms himself. Tubora comes up to salvage any numenera; she gets a "Detonation (sonic)" cypher. 
+- We plan to continue exploring the west wing and searching for telepathy stuff AND more data pads. Health inspector ones specifically.
