Peace Week

[mockmods]

[So, with introductions made, you're all left to your own devices for the time being. Explore, make friends, try not to go insane in your new surroundings. Maybe organize a game of that Trailseeker thing? Your time is your own.]

[You are woken every day at 7:30 AM by the same robotic voice that woke you on day one. At 11pm each night, a similar message plays reminding everyone about the start of quiet hours and dimming the lights.]

[If you want to talk to Penny, she can be found in the Security Office if she's not anywhere else in the Facility. Office hours appear to be whenever.]

[There's one other part that might be of interest. Towards the end of the book, there's a series of illustrations of- pretty basic modern technology, really. Cars, airplanes, skyscrapers, basic household electronics- the most advanced thing looks to be some kind of toy robot or something.]

[The text here are very basic notes on the functions of some things -cars gotta zoom, planes gotta fly- and speculations on the functions of items that are less visually obvious. It's all sort of written like the author has never even heard of most of these things, either.]

[But there's one more handwritten note here, next to a small piece of type that's been circled: "seen through the lens".]

Clever little thief.

[Izuku keeps reading, then, intent on covering this book from top to bottom to see what he can find, even if the notes aren't of any real significance. What they do tell him is that someone else has been here before, writing in this book...and it's either Penny's doing, or someone else. Or, perhaps, more than one person. It's interesting to note, given how...speculatory and unsure some of the text seems. It gives Izuku a little insight as to what kind of person might have written this book, if nothing else. He pays special attention to the next note he finds, because it doesn't...really make any sense? But it's unusual enough to make him want to know the meaning.] Thief...what could that be implying? This book was stolen? ...the ideas inside were...? [Is there anything else significant Izuku might find in this?]

[Digging a little deeper into the (very dry) text of the book itself, it seems like the technology it's talking about is something the author has observed at a distance somehow, and is beginning to work on replicating.]

[It might take a little bit, but wouldn't be an unreasonable assumption that the author is a bit of a dirty idea thief.]

[That's a few more things uncovered, at least. Izuku makes a mental note to find a notebook somewhere to start documenting these things in... He keeps on skimming without thoroughly reading, wanting to make sure he's covered everything that might be inside. Otherwise, he's going to hang on to it just in case he's able to find anything more of note in it on a later read.]

[Izuku might notice a few more references to seeing things through some kind of lens, including a few of the more advanced elevator designs, but otherwise that appears to be it!]

[Enjoy your incredibly boring science book, and don't forget to sign it out if you're taking it.]

[mightdoriya]

[Boring it may be, but he's logging this mentally away as being at least somewhat important. He'll be checking it out, of course, because he's a good boy who doesn't do scandalous things like steal library books.]

[The invisible library spirits will remember and appreciate this, Izuzku.]
