01 - [Handwritten on a piece of paper]
[A slow day at LCU's library has left Alexa with plenty of time on her hands, for a change. Sitting at the circulation desk, Alexa begins doodling on a sheet of paper, starting in one corner and expanding outwards in spiraling patterns. On a lark, she includes as part of the design a series of numbers, a string that had been rattling around in her head since she was young. It didn't mean anything, at least not that she could tell, but she'd never been able to quite get it out of her head.
And so her first foray into the network is a doodled pattern, spreading across the page in quick, thoughtless strokes. Then a pause, as someone approaches the desk to ask a question, and then, in flowery handwriting:]
- The Oxford guide to the history of physics and astronomy QC7 .O94 2005
[And then nothing, as she turns away from the page in order to help him with his inquiry. Who wants to be the one to scare the piss out of her by having the page talk back to her?]
