Sam didn't think that she'd find anything useful in the library, but Dairine still thought there was a chance, and more than that, she liked having a very concrete project in front of her.

His blue, somewhat distant eyes turned to spot, and widened, filled with confusement. "What is that?" he said carefully. "It... moves." Alexei had no knowledge of technology.
