As he entered the library he walked passed a couple of shelves ,maybe three or four before Finally stopping. He then looked around with a puzzled expression then walked along the long line of shelves.
The academy's library was nothing to sneaze at ,it was annoyingly large,it seemed to go on forever, the pathways Marged ,separated and ultimately converged on the in front of the reception.
It's a mystery how anyone would find what the need.
But Erevan walked in between shelf after shelf taking a right turn here and a left their as if he knew where he it was leading up to.
He stops, turns to his right and picks a book at random, skims page after page.
A gentle hand taps him.
"I wasn't expecting you so soon."says the lady as she also pick a book at random.
She was a pale thing ,despite being a educator she had the structure of a teen,but conducted herself accordingly her blue dress and glasses gave her a more mature look and he short golden hair symbolized her profession.
"Yeah ,we need to talk ."He replied in a very serious tone.
"Ok ,but not here ,come I have prepared a table in the break room floor two." She proceeded to take another book at random as she left.
Erevan looked up for about a minute,he was stressed you could see it in his eyes ,he seemed to be weighing options, but the variables unknown. As he started walking to the stairs his mood went sour.
He looked at a couple of boys sitting on the first floor.
He then arrived at the table ,"Miss Charlotte, I'm just gonna cut to the chase,"as he sat down he started "Things have been going down in the research lab and among most things miss placed information, sloppy handling of equipment and numbers don't add up. I know I can be a bit observant of minor details but if this keeps going on we are gonna be shut down."
"How long do estimate, ah."
"Atmost a few weeks and that's if this goes unnoticed. "
Miss Charlotte took one of the books on the table and placed it in front of him.
"Have you read this before, if not you should it a good read."
"I'm dealing with problems on problems and your advice is a book come on."He commented as he looked down on the first floor reading section, that was crowded.
Miss Charlotte looked and asked"Do you think that things operate by power or is their other means."
"For the record, I know the book and I'm aware it explores the concept of power. But humanity enslaving one another is common in this place."
"Then their it is,enslavement.Now I can't help even if I wanted to, my hands a tied.Sorry you don't have time the council has had eyes on you for sometime."
"So that means I have to go with the enslavement plan."
"Yeah ,the council needs someone to take the fall and if you provide a tribute ,I'll try to present it to the council."
Erevan stretched as he kept looking glancing on the people down below.
Miss Charlotte added"Their is an easy way around all this but you won't take that option.I feel bad for you sister ."
Erevan looked at Miss Charlotte"If she hears that im involved in this heads will roll, and I'm not joking, don't even mention me,for the sake of anyone."
As he said his last words he gets up and leaves the table as a mechanical golem begins to make tea.
"How rude." MissCharlotteas she looks at him going down stairs.
Erevan walks to the students on the first floor. Looks at them.
"Their's my mark."
