Who: Krista Kingsley
Broadcast: Video, to the whole network!
Action: Bishop, if applicable...
When: Right now!

[your resident jaded teenage goth is looking particularly cheery today! soft-spoken as usual, but pretty excited about something! she's holding up her communicator so that everyone can see the inside of her personal office--the only perk of being a Personnel Officer.]

Hey guys! So, Chris just gave me the best idea... I know that some of us are already stocking up on as many books as we can get our hands on while we're near civilization, and I've already got like, three people I'm going to end up swapping reading with, but what about this.

[she swings around to show the desk and couch, showing the space.] I've got this room, right? Part of whatever my augment's got going on... I could turn it into a library! You guys can shuttle books over to the Bishop when you're done reading them, and then anyone can check them out.

[she starts listing things off on her fingers...] I can catalog them, sort them by topic, make a system so we know which books are going where... Maybe keep stuff like blueprints and maps, too, so that it can be accessed from one place. Oh! And I was thinking of making physical copies of all the network entries and stuff that's stored in the ship computers, in case, I don't know, the network becomes irreversibly corrupted and we need to look up old shit.

[she's so excited. she's so excited. it's probably boring archival work, but she looks like a kid in a candy store.]

In the reverse, if someone out there can make me some kind of a scanner, maybe we can create digital copies of all these books, so I could just send them out to the ship computers if there's a request. Like, someone could just say, hey, do you have anything about giant space wasps? And I'd be like, bam, files sent. That'd be so cool.

[Look who's back to normal again. Yay. He's still wallowing in self-made horror, so he doesn't even notice something is up right away.]

Oh nooooooo, the books.

[What did he do with all his books? Did he make a nest? HE CAN'T REMEMBER!!!]

Anywa, count me in. I'm always supporting of us having access to a giant library.

...I think I stashed my maps somewhere on the Blue Fish....

[SOMEWHERE] I can try and work on a scanner. I should still have parts left that I didn't weld together to make a giant statue of my girlfriend.

[While he can't help but feel like Krista seems a bit... different than when he first met her, Adachi does like the idea of having such a resource. It could help in his current digging for certain information.]

That sounds like a pretty good idea, Krista-chan. What would I have to do to get access to this library? Donate a book or two?

[That was about the extent of Adachi's willingness to exert himself towards this project, but he had to make it seem like he'd be willing to do more.]

Hey, you actually did it.

[ Stephanie is exploring! Okay maybe she's just a little bored and is poking around for the fourth or fifth time, but EXPLORING! Just in time to peek into this room as Krista starts going about the library idea ]

Maker, I would love a library!
cabbagedetective: (Give it some thought)

[personal profile] cabbagedetective 2015-02-16 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[Excellent. Adachi's got access to a library. Probably slim pickings at the moment, but give it a week or two and maybe there could be something useful.]

Hmm... can't say I have any books on me. Are there specific books you'd want, or books on specific topics?

[He'll keep an eye out for anything that looks easy enough to obtain. He wants to put forth just enough effort to not seem like a complete free-loader. Sigh, it's hard always following the path of minimum effort.]
alwayscomeback: (And it won’t help you)

[personal profile] alwayscomeback 2015-02-16 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
It was insane, I haven't been like that since the cactus juice.

Ugh, I really hope so.

[Okay she seems more cheerful than usual- BUT HEY WHO WOULDN'T BE ITS BOOKS!!]

That...is a beautiful idea.

Not a bad idea at all! The digital copies, especially. You'll run out of space in there eventually and need to take in new stock, so having a copy that didn't take up space on hand would be useful!

[personal profile] howcanihelp 2015-02-17 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
Well, it's a start, anyway, right?

[ She looks around, as if figuring out how many books they could realistically store in here. If they made some shelves... ]

It's small but we could still fit a fair number of books in here, with bookshelves. And if it got too full, we could divide the books by subject, say by fiction and nonfiction, and see if another ship has a spare room we could use.

[ Stephanie grins ]

It's been so long since I had ready access to books and the time to actually read, I think it'd be fantastic.

Sounds like you have a lot of good ideas so far. I'm not adept with these computer things by any means, but I'm sure you'll find someone here who can help you. Perhaps Tim? He seems like the type who might be acquainted with programs.
misconceived: (✇dream you're still here)

[personal profile] misconceived 2015-02-17 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
Wonder how much we'll actually be able to fit in there. Or what people will try to fill it with.
wilder: (❂ sarcasm)

[personal profile] wilder 2015-02-17 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I really think so! And I'm not just saying that because I'm running out of places to stash books.

[personal profile] alwayscomeback 2015-02-17 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
Yeaaaah. If there's any lesson I can impart on anyone ever, it's that you shouldn't drink from weird cacti you find in the middle of a desert.

[This shouldn't even be a lesson that needed to be learned, but there you go.]
cabbagedetective: (You don't say?)

[personal profile] cabbagedetective 2015-02-17 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
Uh huh... [Well, that's both disappointing and yet strangely comforting. It means Adachi won't have to put forth too much effort to find his own "donations." But it also seems to foreshadow the quality of reading material that will be available.] All right, well, I'll keep an eye out for anything interesting then. What do you have so far? Wouldn't want to get us anything we already have.
detectivewonder: (idea)

[personal profile] detectivewonder 2015-02-17 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
That's an excellent idea.

I can ferry mine over. And maybe make some targeted purchases, if I can scare up some more income.

I used to read all the time. I haven't had much time for it the past couple of years, though - it'll be nice to do it again, even if they're not books I'm familiar with.
