While Lysia is talking to Mira and Jock in sickbay, Arvitis comes wandering by holding an old paper notebook. He appears to be engrossed in reading the notes. He hits the sickbay door jam with a thud and bouncing off looks up, "Oh! Right! I was looking for you Mira, Jock." "He had the worst handwriting I've ever seen, and I've seen plenty of bad handwriting." Arvitis says scratching his chin. "Oh, yes!" he says focusing on Mira and smiling brightly, "I know you are all busy with the missing girl and all, but I'm off to the local university here to check out their antiquities section, and I wondered if you would run a little errand for me?" Beaming a smile he adds, "It's just to check in the public library here and see if they have...um..." He checks the page of the book he's holding his huge hands, "...anything by Henri Fairfield. A book called 'Exploring the Bird's Beak.' It's mentioned in these notes and if I could read the original maybe I can figure out the coordinate system that's in here..." He stops and looks at Mira expectantly. Eris AKU GM

Mira gets a sisterly sort of smile reserved for the absurd little brother, "Sure, Arvitis. We'd love to. Libraries are wonderful places." Mira

Arvitis nods, "I'd do it myself, but I want to check out the university here and see if they have any records of ancient sites here on Serbia." He smiles sheepishly, "You know how I am about archeology." Eris AKU GM

Arvitis blushes and mumbles something Mira can't understand, then leaves quickly, where he goes back to mumbling to himself as he tries to decipher the notes in that notebook. Jac, seated behind Mira scratching the neck ruff of one of the animals, says, "He's a strange bird, Mira. A crack shot, with nerves of steel, in one incarnation, and a mumbling, absent minded professor in another." "So, what is it he wants *us* to do again?" Jac smiles at Mira. Eris AKU GM

"Look for a book at the library," Mira replies, "I'm sorry, I should have asked if it was ok with you. I'm not used to thinking as a 'we' yet." Mira

Jac chuckles, "I'd have raised an objection with him if I had an objection to raise." He stands and smiles down at Mira, "Why is he looking for a book about birds, anyway? What has that got to do with his interest in archeology?" Eris AKU GM

What has that got to do with his interest in archeology?" Before Mira can answer Jac shruges and says, "You can tell me on the way to the library." He loops his arm under Mira's and says, "You can look up our little guys at the library, too. Maybe find out what they *really* are?" Jac looks over at Lysia, "So, Jez...you want to come with us?" "You can look up whatever you wanted to look up at the library.", then he grins and adds, "And with you around maybe Mira and I can focus on something other than each other." Jac will escort Mira out to where Ricardo is and say, "Captain O'Brien, Dr. Hasta-Rur and I (and Lysia) are going to the public library to do some research for Arivits...among other things. Do you want to come along, or do you have other things to occupy your mind?" Ricardo and Woof are located here, so they will both hear Jac's speech. Eris AKU GM
