- The Lost Cult: The whole of the OTC cult vanished and the only clue is known to Marshall.
- The Empty Prison: Who's to say what may have been locked up within the Gaol? (On Hold)
- Failing ZPM: The defenses are down, the enchantments have wavered. The last bit of energy within the Node hangs on by a thread. Teagan, Lilian Handover and Jasmine tried but there's a trick to everything. Thankfully they were able to figure it out and get things back into working order - at least mostly.
- Origins: Before the node went quiet once more, Cody was able to use some of its powers to get a sense of where it's been and where it might end. Others have delved into the history of the House either through the collections in the library or by the fountain but the picture isn't quite as clear as some would like.
- Was that a Growl?: During the exploration, a low, soft rumbling noise was heard as certain things happened. Was it a warning or a threat? This seems to have been connected to the Gaol found within the House. What was the OTC cult holding, how did it escape and where is it now?
