I'm sure what how I feel about all this.

For one the whole "you have no Librarian anymore" thing. I know that The Baroness likes to be up to date on all things but she apparently missed the fact that the Moon Public Library does in fact have a Librarian on duty: Me! I got my own snazzy blue jumpsuit with black leather accents, my own non IOL compliant trench coat. I also got brown hair, glasses & the last name of Bookman! I am The Librarian! At least for the time being.

You'd think that The Baroness would have known that we couldn't be open for business without one. That just simple math: No Librarian, No Library. It's like also right there in our charter on page 495, subsection 29, paragraph 65, sentence 6. Right there near the section on the Phoenix Protocols. We go nuclear & nothing of importance is lost!

Also, I'm not sure what's up with all this naming things after authors from Earth that A.L.F.RED & D.D. kept on going about. Sure, it's a cute idea but really that's lost on most of our patrons. They are not from around here.

About the File Room: much like Hallie, all of our records are kept electronically. We just make hardcopies of our collection because it's kind of what you when your a Library. 1 upside with our books: they are self updating! Unlike Hallie: the data core is not kept offsite... well... it's kind of is. if you consider being in "another dimension that exists in the same time & place as the Library" as being "offsite". All that gobbledygook about the Data Core is listed in the charter. In a few places actually. You got the section about the Data Core itself, the Phoenix Protocols, anytime that transferring of data is mentioned, any mention of the Litteraria Wormza (the Bookworms) are mentioned.

Another odd bit as far as we can tell Lee never had any of MPL's tech in the File Room. Xi Jai 8, the XJ Model 8 personal floating assistant/portable MPL directory (which Lee called "Shawn"), preformed a tech sweep shortly after Lee's death for tech that would require any of us to take back. Xi Jai 8 found nothing. We did come down to pick up Lee's personal belongs. We choose to not make a big deal out if it. We just used the portal system that Lee always used. It was really simple. All of Lee's stuff was already boxed up for us. A simple five minute jaunt down to the planet's surface. Didn't think it would have smelled that bad but A.L.F.RED said that was jus the smell of the File Room & not the planet as a whole.

I don't know what the deal with the Origami thing is. It's not a MPL thing, It might be an old out dated form of tech from the IOL but it's nothing that they use now. Could be something from the time of the Material Centurians or older. They did try a few different methods of information gathering before getting to the Librarians. My knowledge on the history of the IOL is not the best.

And Yes: D.D. has excepted that Lee has died. This is not the first time he's past on & will most likely will not be the last time. As I have stated earlier: we did clear out the file room of the stuff that belongs to us. The rest of the stuff as far as we know belongs to the Lair Legion.


The Baroness: "I was referring to the absence of proper Librarians old enough to shave and to wear big-boy pants."
