Nightshift 39: Staff Research/Medical Reference Library

The library was even darker than the corridor if possible, and Argilla raised the pickaxe defensively as she stepped inside, avoiding the splinters of wood which littered the floor from where she'd used the pickaxe on the door. At least they'd see anything that was coming and had a clear escape route if they needed it. She sniffed the air before heading over to the table and finally switching on her flashlight to take a better look around. Books lined the shelves, more than she'd seen in one place before and she hoped that Roland knew what they were looking for because she didn't have a clue what they needed. Considering people's reactions to the subject, she didn't think that there would just be a shelf of books all called 'Sex' or something which would make them easy to find.

"Where do we look?" she asked, turning to Roland and giving him a curious look.

He had to admit, he hadn't expected Argilla to just burst through the door with the pick ax. Sure, the weapon was easily strong enough to work that way, but still, it was a little... excessive. Then again, all of the Embryon demons were rather direct in their actions, even their 'strategist.'

Ah well. Roland was glad that he had his boots, walking through the rubble and starting to pick through the books. He was looking for something like a book on anatomy or something similar... considering the amount of books, that might take awhile. "Try finding any book on anatomy, especially ones with pictures. That's as good a place to start as any."

"Anatomy, right," Argilla murmured, moving over towards the first set of shelves and starting to look along the spines of the books for anything which looked right. "This is a lot of books," she said, slightly in awe of the place. "They have the library downstairs too right?" It seemed like an impossibly huge collection to her.

She finally lit upon one which looked like it might be helpful, and she pulled it off the shelf, holding it out towards Roland. It said anatomy on it, and had a picture of a a human body on the front. That would be right, yes?
