There is a functioning NoA node in the control room. > > - Site suggests Tadpoles were often deployed eastward > - Material may have been returned by Tadpole expeditions > - NoA node may contain information on past survival failures and future threats > - Access to the control room is secured by a passcode > > Access codes were stored in the PDAs and blackboxes of high-ranking colonists.   ### Survivors - Waypoint 2 > Ganzo here. Nine survivors of Habitat with me. Tuba went back to Habitat and...a marrowbreach took Ruby. I don't know if she'll be reprinted. I've heard her die so many times. But this time...she's got to be out there somewhere. She's got to. > > The Tadpole Pens control room is locked and all the Tadpoles are gone. Sophie and Nahema took the last two. We're stuck. > > We've voted, eight to one. We're going to go down into the hot caves. We all feel a pull there. We know it's a Masefield hallucination—yes, Twinkle, we *know*—but hey, Anita said, if we ask the world for help, maybe it'll answer. > > And it's not all crazy. There's a biobed at the base camp. And Zip...Zip died at the bottom of that cave. She had a kurultai access key that could get us through this lock. > > If you find this, we headed due southwest to the hot caves.
