Previous Post > --------------- > > The Lair Mansion is made up for the huge anniversary party, most everyone of the current line-up is there with a family & friends. They are all living it up. Elsewhere in the Mansion, one man is still at work. Hallie knows this & goes to find out why. > > Hallie's holographic form appears in the the Mansion's basement File Room & before the desk of Lee Bookman. > > "Hello." Lee says as he continues to work. > > "You know there is party happening upstairs?" > > "Yes. It's quite loud, I can hear it from here." > > "So, why don't you come up & join us?" > > "I'm busy entering into the Lair Database all that has happened & a lot has happened." > > "Sure, I think we all know that. But, it can wait." > > Lee looks up from his paperwork & looks at Hallie. She can tell that according to him, It can't. > > "A Librarian's work is never done." > > "Can't you just come up for twenty minutes & have some cake. The Legion is celebrating 10 years!" > > "I'll have some later. Plus, I wasn't around 10 years ago." Lee said as he went back to work. > > "Very few of us were but that shouldn't stop us for celebrating." > > Lee stops once more & looks at Hallie & says. "No, It shouldn't but I wasn't around 10 years ago, period. I've only been here in the Parodyverse for the last few years. Much like that of Mr. Bastion: I come from a different dimension." > > Hallie thinks for a moment, going through Lee's file in her mind. "Oh yeah." > > "I hadn't even heard of the Legion until I crossed over. " Lee said & then offhandedly said. "It's a good thing the IOL is not only intergalactic but also Interdimensional or I would have been out of a job." > > "So, why did you come over?" > > "All signs were pointing to a complete universal collapse but it didn't happen. But of course I didn't know this until a few years after the fact. I did need to leave that public library since the moon get blown up." > > "It happens." Hallie said jokingly. > > "Yes. I know. I've been monitoring that & have stopped a few attempts while I've been here." > > "What?" Hallie has a said a bit shocked. She didn't know about any resent attempts to blow up the Moon. > > "Yes. Some nut job attempts to blow up the Moon at least once or twice a year. I've gotten so use to it that I've stopped confronting them." > > "So, how are they stopped?" > > "I don't know. I've been sending A.L.F.RED to deal with it & he's never said." > > "Ok." Hallie said changing the topic. "So, was it a wholesale transfer of your MPL from there to here?" > > "No. The Library as it currently stands in the.. uh.. "Lee said, thinking about something. "Third, fourth, fifth version of it's kind built here, using purely Parodyversian materials. Only me & A.L.F.RED were the cross overs. Our third crew member stayed behind." > > "Was she a version of D.D.?" > > "No. Lynn was a flesh & blood person. Over in 12783, the IOL designation of that dimension, Librarian's were given helper droids like A.L.F.RED & assistant Librarians. Lynn was mine. She was... "Lee said & his voice trailed off. > > Lee smiled as he looked to be thinking about something. > > "Lee?" Hallie asked. > > "Yes?" Lee said. > > "Lynn was what?" > > "Oh. Yes. Lynn was special. When we left her & ended up here, I didn't want another assistant Librarian, so Amy was put in place." > > "Amy? What happened to D.D.?" > > "Amy was D.D. precursor. Amy died during one of the destructions' of the Library." Lee said. The offhandedly. "We haven't had one of those in a while, so that means were due for one soon." > > Before their conversation could go on, Hallie received warning. "I got to go Lee, Dream trying to spike the punch with god knows what. But try & come up for a bit, ok?" > > "I try." > > "Good!" Hallie said & disappeared. > > Lee went back to work. > > --------------- > > THE END
