Alex began to remove the books one by one. Each time, he would quickly flip through each page, then place it back on the shelf.

-
The shy Warlock tried to mind her own business, but she was curious. She started to watch Alex.
-
Alex moved methodically through each book. As he flipped through, he would pause on each page. A fraction of a second would pass, and then he would turn to the next. After a while, it became clear that he wasn't reading, but rather, simply looking at each page. He had begun with books regarding technology.
-
"W-hat. What are you look-ing for?" The Warlock asked, stuttering. Her voice was high-pitched, yet soft.
-
Alex pauses. "Whatever I can find. I didn't expect these archives to be well organized, but I thought they'd at least be digital. The dojo ought to thank me for doing this."
-
"Huh...." She muttered.
-
Alex continued to flip through the pages.
-
"Anything in paticular?" Kali asked.
-
Once I get all of this organized, I'll see what there is.
-
"Hmm." The Warlock fell silent for a few seconds, "Can I help?"
-
"I don't believe so. Not unless you finnaly feel like answering any of my previous questions."
-
Kali tried to shy away, but summoned some courage, "I'm not... A people person. I...I don't go around looking for people."
-
"Neither am I. However, in the pursuit of knowledge, sacrifices must be made. One such is my own comfort."
-
She began to shy away from Alex, sighing, and continuing her studies. Her Ghost, Hydrangea appeared. "I know you're shy and all," the female AI remarked, "But I think you like him." "Hydrangea, shut up," Kali muttered.
-
Alex noticed, but pretended not to. Ghosts were one of many things he never believed in during his life on Earth. [i] Perhaps I'll have the chance to study it later[/i].
-
The AI in a geometric shell floated in front of him.
-
"Hello. Would [i]you[/i] happen to know where I can access a database?"
-
"There's a terminal a few shelves to your right," the Ghost answered.
-
Alex looks up. "If only I had known that before. Would have saved me a lot of page turning."
-
Kali peaked from behind the shelves, looking at her Ghost, and Alex.
-
Alex goes over to the terminal. He pulls out a small drive. "Oh well. I suppose that I can consider this a learning experience."
