Thanks to Joseph Caleb Jones for a quick-crit and
The Roboticon for a more in-depth one. If this skip is less than it could be cause I didn't stop to get more crits, I take full responsibility!
Looking forward to writing more tales where characters visit the Wanderers' Library, I came up against what's probably an intrinsic difficulty of the nexus. While all the knowledge in the multiverse is in there, no one really knows where to find any particular piece of it. Surely somewhere in the worlds there had to be someone perfectly suited to fill this niche. I figure TentedBeams (with the help of her many children) is that someone.

Edit 12/22/18: Polished up some rough spots in the containment procedures and description. Significantly expanded the recovery log. Hopefully now the dialogue is more natural and the crosslinks more relevant. Thanks to Captain Kirby and
shoujoq for taking a look at the revisions.
