"Why move it? This is where the books are." He bent over the mechanism, disconnecting it. "I don't know. You'll have to ask Docchi." He knew but was too engrossed to stop. Jordan could tell her but he wasn't here. She wandered through the library but found no one who could or would give her information. What made it worse was, with the librarian torn apart, there wasn't a book available. She was curiously perturbed. She knew where she could find Docchi, at gravity center where he had taken over the quarters formerly occupied by Vogel. More and more the asteroid was beginning to resemble a ship and if there was a definite control area it was located in gravity center. The first thing she saw when she entered the low structure--most of the gravity installation was underground--was the scanner. It had changed; the last trace of the makeshift origin had disappeared. It was metal encased and dials and switches replaced connections formerly made by hand. These alterations were Nona's but bringing it here was Docchi's idea. Anti frowned contemplatively; it wasn't far in straight distances from where Nona had originally constructed it, but the labor involved in carrying it through miles of tunnels and then overland to where it was now standing--that was considerable effort. It didn't square with what Jeriann had told her. She found Docchi a few stories below the entrance level, somewhere near the actual gravity computers. He looked up and then wriggled his head out of the harness. "Have you come to help, Anti?" "Nope. I've got a complaint." His smile wasn't appreciative. "The headquarters for that are in the other division." She ignored the reference to Jeriann. "I'd help if I could but I'm ignorant. And you're keeping me from learning." "The library?" "Of course. I can't get a single book." He looked at the design he'd been working on and then reluctantly stepped out of the machine which enabled him to put his ideas on paper. "Don't stop drawing because of me," said Anti. "It was nearly done. Jordan can carry on from there." He sat down while Anti remained standing, balancing an imaginary basket of fruit on her head. The years in the tank had ruined her posture. "I'm sorry we had to take the librarian but you can still get books. I've figured out a formula." "First I have to be a mathematician and then I've got to crawl back in the stacks? There must be places no one can get to, especially tapes and music." "That's the way it is. We'll have to go over the whole setup, relocate the stacks and train human librarians." "Seems like a waste when what we had was working perfectly." "We had to do it if we want to get to Centauri before they do." He jerked his head to indicate out there. "But what good is it? The librarian is just a----" She closed her mouth. "Just a memory system? That's what we need to duplicate the drive they have. Of course the librarian remembers the wrong thing but we're changing that."
