"Hallo, Captain Ryan. Licensed acquisition noted. Welcome to the Library."
And she's gone as fast as she came.
"Sorry, I should have warned you. CAL is modelled on the daughter of one of the Trust's managers. She died at a very young age, and her data image was put into the Library as a humanising influence, and also so that she could read stories for the rest of her days. She's become so much more than that."
"Here we are." There's a glass door with River's name on it, and a string of letters after it. The brass knob turns under her hand and opens on a room with dark hard wood floors, a gargantuan desk with a data terminal, and a library table overflowing with books.
An arch at the far end of the room opens on a glass domed solarium, filled with hanging plants and trees in planters. And behind the desk is a window seat that looks out on an ocean view. Half the window seat is filled with books.
