[Sorin has a problem, he wants to get some work done but to his shame he is still mildly uneasy around all the space out there- he can tolerate it while he's moving around and talking to people but doing work? He wouldn't be able to settle.

So! He has remembered Crane's library from the start of their book finding adventure and has secretly managed to drag a desk through the entrance and set up his paperwork on it- Ah, finally a chance to actually get some proper work done without a Elite accidentally setting themselves on fire or tying two groupies together and not being able to get them loose...

...Except he really doesn't look please with this work; in fact he's holding his head in his hands and looking rather incredibly annoyed by the papers in front of him (several photos of a seemingly twelve year old boy with a pierced lip and dyed black hair for the eagle eyed); obviously the Elites and their incredible stupidity must follow him everywhere.

In fact, somebody on fire would really cheer him up right now]

The constellations and stars are correct, and so are the proportions, to some extent. But their placing is wrong; they are not where they should be in relation to other galaxies.

I supposed one could sum it up to the point in the universe from which you are looking at these stars, but even then there are still discrepancies.

Oh [Pause] ...I hadn't noticed; another odd thing about this place I suppose- has any reason been found for these discrepancies?

[Shakes his head] Not yet, no. I suppose the most likely explanation is that the stars we see are but an illusion, and the one who made them is not entirely familiar with it's layout.

It is convincing enough, as it fools most. There are few who study the heavens for a living, after all.

Such as a alien? Or a distant god?

...It is a area that I'm not all that familiar with; I would've liked to study it more though.

Or perhaps someone with technology advanced beyond our understanding.

[He smiles] It's a fascinating subject. There should be plenty of books here.

Also a possibility; perhaps a human rather removed from society.

[Also smiles] I shall look forward to reading up on such things then; I certainly have the time if I keep coming here.

All of these are possibilities to keep in mind.

It's wonderful, isn't The opportunities this place allows.

Hopefully we'll find out someday.

[Smile] It's amazing, I haven't been outside properly for years... There's so much knowledge here; a person could research for his entire life and still not uncover all the secrets.
