<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*When the drone brings the book back to me, I open it up and look for any identifying features*

@System

*The text inside the book is illegible, but some pages do contain detail diagrams of poses and stances, as it were a combat manual of some sort*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Hm.
*Retrieves a book and returns it to myself*

@System

*The girl squats down in the distance, to trace text along the wall closer to the ground*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*The drone scours the halls for additional entrances and rooms, and also scans the bookshelves*

@System

*The hall meets a dead end without any noticeable doors, and the bookshelves contain text equally as indecipherable as that on the walls*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*The drone creeps along the walls and visits the library above*

@System

*Occasionally the library's floors and shelves aisles contain a charred outline of an ancient human body, but the rest of the room is still utterly silent*

*Nods*
Contact me if I can be of use to you.

@Nimda

Ditto. Take care.
*Floats sideways through the rift*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

I wouldn’t suggest worrying about eavesdropping.
*Retracts my drones to my palm*

@Nimda

I’m not ovey concerned. Otherwise I’d have talked about something else.
*Holds out two fingers and smoothly slices open a rift in space*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Certainly. I intend to keep my research beyond discreet.

@Nimda

I trust you’re good enough at that, so long as our talk right now isn’t being listened in on.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Chuckles with a grating, metallic tone*
I’ll try to avoid causing you trouble.

@Nimda

Just make sure you do that “not making enemies” thing we were talking about.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Mm.
*Holds my hand over its surface*
Such an anomaly has piqued my interest.

@Nimda

Well.
*Shrugs*
You know where it is. I’m not going to stop you from… Adding it to your list of things to play with. However it is you prioritize all those things you do.

*Nods*
If you learn anything about the antiquary, do let me know.

@Nimda

Of course. There's every reason to do so, and no reason to not.
