Then enter the last door back on the balcony and make a left. Examine the calendar in the corner of the room here. This gives you enough information to learn the computer password. Back on the first floor, enter Travis’ office in the back corner of the room, up the small set of steps. Examine the computer to enter the password and start listening to the podcast.
