> 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.
