Art of Domination Thread 04

Hi! I always meant to start reading this adventure, but there was so many threads to catch up so I kept it on the backlog. Thanks for that handy recap to bring me up to speed, but I still have some questions:

-What is the Murderhouse? Is it the destroyed research site for artificial life, and was it affiliated with the Terran Federation or Robert North?
-What's Car of Destiny?
-Where is Vora retreating to? What's her base of operations and what are the forces available to her?
