Welcome to Gaia! ::

Silver Tongues (14) : What a shame, to open a book–an old favorite, an antique, something new–just to find the pages absolutely destroyed. A silverfish–or several–scurry away, so you know what caused the damage. But you don’t understand how. This isn’t just senseless, random destruction–if you look at the pages, they’ve chewed out messages. Maybe they’ve eaten the words right off the page, leaving only a few to spell out a cryptic message–or maybe they’ve eaten holes in the page to spell out something. It’s too precise to be random but it seems impossible, both for the precision and the intention. What kind of message could a bug want to leave you–and why?

Today, Abramov was patrolling on his own - his twin and partner was stuck in Senior Classes - Anthropology - he cringed at the thought - he was not good with people.

Abramov was about 1/2 hour into his patrol, when it took him past the Destiny City Library. There, he stopped and gaped in horror. Hundred of books were thrown out on the steps torn to pieces. Who could destroy a book? The moral value of a book? And whoever had done, had not only done it to one book, but hundreds. Suddenly a book slid out to his feet, on it's own. He could sense no Chaos around, so who...? He looked down at it, and several silverfish crawled and scattered... there seemed to be many carefully and detailed chews - "What the?" He was beginning to examine the damage - and the creepy message...

Abramov was too shocked to do anything but stare at the book and the silverfish, he didn't even process the other Senshi running up to him and accusing of doing it - hmm she stopped at him, and then he looked up mouth still agape - responded, "I believe this library has far more than a minor bug problem." He frowned, "Formal greetings will have to wait, you may call me Abramov." Then he proceeded to show her what he'd been studying.

"It's fine, Lacaille. I afraid we may have a bigger problem." He gestured at the words that had been chewed out, and to the words left.
