Thorn frowns and stands up again.
"It said it was the catalog of the events of 'the alpha,'" she reports with a confused shake of her head. "That makes no sense. And then it just starts jabbering like a tour guide, talking about historical sites."
She looks at the sheet music curiously, then picks it up to get a closer look, wondering if anyone else had actually used the thing as note paper for the whole diatribe.

The sheet music had two sets of bars, one with a kind of giant apostrophe, and one with kind of a weird "G" at the front. In between, words were written, probably lyrics. They were strangely specific; they described three houses in the small coastal village of Howard's Rock, Massachusetts.

"Alpha--that's kind of weird," said Levanna. "There's this pamphlet I read a few months ago, a bunch of Sleeper mythology, that divided everything into Alpha and Beta. Like, part of the world is Alpha, and part is Beta, and only really enlightened people know the difference."
"I believe that pamphlet was an excerpt from R. Davisson's A World Divided," said Jeremiah. "Claptrap, if you ask me."
