Getting inside the Academy Archives was relatively easy, as far as Alex was concerned. It was just a matter of psychology, acting like he belonged, and some convenient timing to slip past what would otherwise be locked door.s He wasn't sure why it hadn't worked before, but this time it went off without a hitch, and soon enough he was inside the Archives. 

Unaware as he was of the fact that he was being observed, at least for the moment, he nonetheless proceeded inside the Archives. He had a job to do, to locate a map of the Citadel or to find some idea of the location of the Relics and such that they were supposed to find. If there was any place to do so, this would be it. The Archives might not have the same breadth of knowledge as the archives that had to be in the Citadel itself, but it would be good enough for his purposes. 

The Archives were still impressive, after all. Multiple levels, shelves that ran on in rows for a dizzying distance. He was more impressed that people could even find anything in this place, even with the organizational system that had to exist. But it wasn't too bad, it just meant that he was less likely to be interrupted. 

"Well, time to get to work," he said to himself with a grin, snapping as he headed off into the stacks. First he'd check the blueprints, see if he could find any for the Citadel. Then back to the history section, to look for news on those Relics and such. If that didn't work then it would be back to the really old stuff, to see what had gotten covered in cobwebs. And if that didn't work then, well, he wasn't sure what he would do. He'd think of something. 

For now though, he had a goal, and he knew what to do. Nothing was going to stop him.
