[Private to Chromie]
Madam, I've been directed by my warden to seek work. Since I am already somewhat familiar with the library, I would like to know if there is room for another among your staff. The lab is full and I do not want to work with the ill or with food.

[Private to Sherlock] (after the successful conclusion of the discussion with Chromie)
I have employment, as dictated. The lab being rather saturated, Chromie has accepted my help in the library.

I like to familiarize myself with the layout - harder than it sounds, the library seems to expand as you explore it - and help people if they're looking for books. We used to go out and [clear throat] enforce book returns, but without the Goddess, I don't think anyone has the taste for that any more.

Oh, that would be wonderful! Goodness knows I wouldn't know how to do that.

I'm not familiar with that term. Hold on just a moment.

[A beat as she flips back in her mental copy of Brittanica.]

Ah! A device to enable the operator to see and correct the words as they are being typed into a computer by a keyboard.

...Now, what is a computer?

Ah! I see, thank you. All of the definitions in the book are very recursive. I think we may invent something similar on Azeroth!

We do have crude automaton constructs, but they tend to be clumsy and prone to explosions.

I really do not know, I have only seen completed ones. I would assume so.
