[If there's one good thing about working as a librarian, it's being able to read while you wait for people to checkout. At least, that's what it seems like in the video feed. Naomi is sitting at the checkout desk, reading a black book. From the title, it could possibly be a crime drama.]

... I advise against trying to sneak out with that book.

[She comes back after making sure the alien isn't dead or anything like that]

With the selection here, it might be time to start reading a bit more.

Why's that?

[chatwithdeath]

Well, you'll most likely find books on other planets and customs. Depends on your interests really and the information you want to find.

[is_an_hero]

Right, right. I probably wouldn't have the patience for that sort of thing.

[chatwithdeath]

True, reading isn't for everyone especially if they lack the patience for it.

[is_an_hero]

But hey, lucky for me. I don't want t' get zapped.

All he needed to do was follow the rules and check the book out. That's not at all difficult.

Well knowing my luck, the thing would malfunction and fry me anyway. You've successfully scared me away from libraries forever.

[chatwithdeath]

[She just laughs a bit] You probably would've avoided the library even if you didn't see this.

[is_an_hero]

Hey, hey - just what're you trying to say?

.. but no, really, you're probably right.

[chatwithdeath]

Well, if you ever do chance coming by, I'll request a mechanic to double check the system.

Sure thing, I'll keep you posted.

I'm Snow, by the way.

[chatwithdeath]

Dr. Kimishima. Nice to meet you Snow.

Re: video;

[is_an_hero]

You too. Doctor, huh?

[chatwithdeath]

So, you have spoken to another?
