Hidden Laboratory

Summary

The hidden laboratory opened by Spinal preserves Brutor Ruby Eye’s research, artifacts, memories, void containment, and Barrier-system plans.

It contained a Tor lecture room, teleport circle, memory orbs, museum, pylon plans, void room, and Barrier devices.
It preserved Brutor’s hand and blood-based protections.
Memories showed the Barrier, Grand Towers, Ennuyé, Brutor, the Pact, a purple rock, and possible cover-ups.
A later old lab in a crater was found but inaccessible; it may or may not be the same laboratory network.
Browning’s lab was later placed near Crater’s Edge; Errol found Crater’s Edge intact and very quiet, with a possible Joy-like tiefling child visible at midnight.

day-16: The party enters the lab, releases or contacts a void creature, encounters black dragonborn, and recovers major lore.
day-20: The Baroness provides lab-related code or permission for another site.
day-30: Browning’s lab near Crater’s Edge and a possible Joy sighting make the crater-lab thread active again.

Are the hidden lab and crater lab the same site, linked sites, or separate facilities?
What remaining systems can repair or further damage the Barrier?
Was the quiet Crater’s Edge scene a trap?
