Resolved Questions

• Where is Amy? — Found in museum basement, tied up, alive. Rescued by Box 13.
• What is Mark Travis's relationship to her? — Confirmed roommate. Not romantic (Cory Vandermere read him as gay; confirmed by his own account).

Active Questions

• Who are "they"? — Steve Blum died screaming "They can't have her." Who was he protecting her from?
• What happened to Devon Walker? — Museum employee who arranged the visit, went silent first, returned the following Sunday. Status unknown.
• What is Thul, Cathul? — The four-armed beast in Gallery B; causes sanity rolls; plaster broken at heel. Labeled "Amazonian Legend." Almost certainly not.
• What is the connection between R. Pickman's work and the beast?
• Whose blood is the Gallery A sample?
• Why did authorities decline this case?
• What did Steve Blum see or know that made him stay in that basement?
