"So, how does all this work?"
Nanoha ran a hand over the back of the wooden chair before pulling it out from the desk. It felt real enough, but there was still something strange and ephemeral about the Dataverse. Her magic worked here just fine, but the idea of an entirely virtual world was still an absurdity to her.
"Well, you can use the terminal there much like you would any other computer, or you can enter a full VR and sift through the available data in person." The voice of the Librarian filled the small room as one of his avatars flickered into life in front of the desk.
"I think I'll just stick with the terminal, thanks." The idea of emulation within emulation was not something particularly comfortable, she felt. "Is there somewhere I can directly connect Raising Heart to your system?" Barely a second after she finished her query a section of the desk shimmered and a small indentation morphed into its surface. After a curt nod of affirmation from Nanoha, The Device floated down to rest in the waiting receptacle.
Connection established. Databanks access acquired.
"Good. Raising Heart, would you look into what you can find about this current situation please? I am going to take a look through this system for anything related to the Omniverse itself. This is as good a time as any to try and find out more about this Lost Logia."
Yes, my master.
With that settled, Nanoha looked back up at the AI Librarian standing before her. "I suppose you'll have another part of yourself working with Raising Heart, right?" A nod in response; short and efficient. "In which case, I'd like your assistance in digging up whatever data you have on this... Omniverse."
The avatar splayed his hands in front of him, holographic interfaces appearing instantly, "Certainly. Do you have any specific keywords you would like to search for?"
Nanoha tapped at the desk absent-mindedly as she thought about it. "Yeah. See if you can find any mention of 'Lost Logia', anything about 'Omni' himself, and any mention of someone escaping this place."
The Librarian held up a palm toward her as she finished. "I can answer your last query without a search. As far as the databanks have recorded, no Primes have ever left the Omniverse. That is not to say that it is impossible, but the only way would be through Omni. However, none of the Primes who have met Omni have ever left the Omniverse."
The answer sounded like a canned line, repeated over and over throughout whatever length of time he had been here, mused Nanoha. The topic of escaping the Omniverse must be something commonly investigated, though that wasn't exactly surprising.
"Very well, then, see what you can find about those other two topics. I'm going to have a look around your 'databanks' myself."
The librarian bowed deeply and vanished, leaving Nanoha to the gentle hum of the terminal in front of her. With a small sigh she sat down and went to work.
