{There's only so much you can do/study whilst waiting for your (mostly) wonderful plan of a society's collapse to fall into place. So! Dietrich comes to the Plane, sitting at a table with a smile charming enough to melt any girl's heart. Or boy, if you swing that way.}

You know, I realize that a few generous people offered to let me borrow some of their literature or technology to study, but I've taken up only a few of those offers. So if anyone here wouldn't mind lending me a book or some item from their world for a short time, I would greatly appreciate the gesture.

{A pause, then he figures explaining it now would save his breath later,} Ah, but I suppose explaining the "why" part would be useful. You see, contrary to most people here, my world is one of limited technology and literature. It seems to be the future for most, the year 3073, but 900 years ago there was a war that pretty much destroyed the world, knowledge quite included. I'm something of a researcher for these things, we call them "Lost Technology", so I'm obviously quite interested in seeing what other worlds have to offer...

{Then nodding to the short stack of books on the table} I also have a few books for Miss Ryoko, if you're here.
