They return to the Bureau only to find that Lula has disappeared in a hurry; however, before she left, she processed all the files needed to transfer Conway and Shannon back to the surface roads. They also encounter Carrington at the Bureau, and Conway is able to suggest either Elkhorn Mine, the [[Random Access Self Storage|self-storage facility]], or [[Equus Oils]] as the venue for where Carrington can host his performance. The two head out of the {{Zero}}, above ground, in search of Dr. Truman.

You should get some real panthers in the stable.'']]
Following the directions given by Lula, they arrive at where his house should be, but find that all houses in the neighborhood have been torn down and replaced with the under-construction [[Museum of Dwellings]]. Here, they encounter [[:Category:Museum of Dwellings|residents ]] of the museum's many dwellings residences and , while taking cover from the fierce storm outside, explore the displayed homes, as narrated by the museum staff watching security footage in the future. The residents discuss the group's presence: [[Fred]] believed they were from the [[Consolidated Power Company|power company]] and stayed indoors, [[Hudson]] recounted a conversation with Shannon about his crackling radio, and [[Sadie]] describes how she talked with them on the porch. Exploring one house, they meet [[Flora]], a young girl who tells them that Dr. Truman has since moved away. Flora also recounts Conway's story of exploring the cabin, in which he said he found an entrance into a hidden basement containing a pit with glowing moss, a garden, and a river. Conway states he lived in the cabin with one of his parents when he was young.

He's a lot bigger and stronger, and he has more feathers than me, but he's still my brother.'']] After exploring a variety of other dwellings, including houses, trailers, birdcages, horse stables, and tents, and talking with their [[:Category:Museum of Dwellings|residents]], Conway and Shannon take a construction lift to the roof where they meet a [[Ezra]]. The young boy explains that he and his brother [[Julian]] fly many of the museum's homes, including Dr. Truman's, out to the [[forest]] at night because the forest is easier to sleep in, but that Dr. Truman asked not to be brought back. Ezra agrees to bring Shannon, Conway, and his dog to the doctor and calls Julian, a giant eagle who snatches them off the roof and flies them to the forest. In the air, the group can observe many situations and locations below, such as an all-night diner, the [[Márquez Farmhouse]], [[Equus Oils]], a wandering guitar player, and the [[bait shop]].
