Shana nodded with a smile and dived into the section of the library devoted to extradimensional history. She would start by searching for a book on the first encounter.

"They sound ... odd." Anik said. "But can't blame for wanting to avoid war.
Is this library open to the public? Do they ... have books for blind people?"

"Well, they're half-elves, so of course they're odd." the man replied. "And, I don't know. They might accept people from outside, but it's... well, it's a family. They're all related somehow. So maybe not."

Shana would learn about the first known contact with interdimensionals; an incident in Tokyo, Japan. Two groups of interdimensionals had become involved in a conflict, one group merfolk and another more varied. The merfolk had attempted to take over, and sink, the city. However, thanks to the assistance of the other interdimensionals, including some diplomacy, the attempt had been thwarted. The merfolk were noted to be living in the waters around an uninhabited island.

The book would also contain what information was on record, from interviews and such, about the interdimensionals. The majority of the information was on Joel and the other automail engineers, an alien woman known as Phaesan who had worked with XCOM in its early days, and on the more hostile interdimensionals such as a company known as Desperado.

Meanwhile, Zev was perusing the library's trashy vampire romance fiction.

"Interesting..." She mused.

She looked for a list of names involved in the merfolk incident. Or at least some pictures captured of the extradimensionals.

"Well ... not that it would make much sense, me trying to join them." Anik let out a small laugh. "I just need the help of these wizards. These are all wizards, right? Are they friendly?"

"Wizards, sorcerers... whatever they call themselves. And they're reasonably friendly." the man informed Anik. "At least the ones they send out to deal with the public are."

The book would contain a number of names, and some images, though it noted that the list was incomplete.

There wasn't, at least not in the museum.

"Alright. Thanks. That's nice."

Anik was silent for a while, but then spoke up again: "Is this a kingdom, here?"

She looked more closely to see if anyone was dressed in blue in the pictures.

"Not any more. It's a... uh... what's the term for when it's ruled by a military leader?" The man shrugged and said, "Whatever it is, that's what Balderra is nowadays."

Very few of the images were in colour, many of them being security footage. However, written descriptions, such as an account of an catnapping in Aberdeen related to interdimensionals, did note a woman who wore a blue maid uniform.

"Military dictatorship? Huh ... does the military interfere much? And are there many wars?"

"There was a war that ended a few years ago but that was it." the man told Anik. "They interfere a bit but mostly stuff like enforcing laws, patrolling the roads and all that."

Shana's look was intense as she sat at a table nearby the freshly searched section of the library. Her brow furled under the mystery. She leaned against her hand and tapped her forehead.

"Is that it? No names?" She thought out loud, at low volume. "After all this time wondering I'm still at a dead end. I figured they might have recorded names of the first people to cross such a boundary. But this is minimal. Still..." She scanned the sentences again. "Could the one in the maid outfit be the Electric Blue Fairy? Both are the same color but, the fairy has been told to wear a ballet tutu, not a maid uniform." But then something clicked, and she could hardly contain her excitement. "Ah! But this description matches the identity of the one known as Emily Mason. One of four to have defeated the Dark Being. If she was here, then there is no doubt that she must have gained the knowledge about universe jumping somehow. The disappearance of Emily near the end of her life was always thought be shrouded in mystery. Now I know for sure who she really is."

She made a sigh of disdain.

"But this information is useless outside of my universe. No one really cares about this information but me. I might as well record a citation and passage in my computer, and ask for a photocopy of this page. My universe must know the truth." She went to work recording the details in her computer and went to go search for a photocopier.

"Ah. That's nice.
Umm ... do they fight with magic here, or just with swords?"

"Well, people who can do magic use magic. Everyone else uses what they can afford; swords, farming tools, guns..."

Shana would find a photocopier nearby, which she could pay to use. However, she would not be allowed to photocopy the library books.

"Well, if I can't copy a page, I'll buy a copy of the book. Ah well... I can at least write down the ISBN." She typed it into her computer, and made a note for herself to find a copy at a book store. She made her way to the bookshelf where the book originated and set it back in place. She sighed.

"There's nothing more I can do." She said, now moving towards the library's front desk. She would wait for Zev.

"I don't know much about 'em, to be honest. Just know that they punch a hole through a man like he's made of paper."

When she arrived at the front desk, she would find Zev checking out a small stack of books. When Zevrisya smelled Shana approaching, she turned and grinned widely. [color=660099]"How'd you get on?"[/color] she asked.

"Alright, so not widely known ..." Anik murmured, trying to put this world in perspective to the world history she had read.

She then was quiet until the cart stopped.
