From the general public, yes.

[ not from government, is the implication. though it's really only the higher echelons of government that know, these days.

that knew. ]

[beknight]

[ Not from government or specialised agencies. ]

I imagine it'd be the same in mine, given that I had no exposure before coming here.

[ettersberg]

I'll admit that I don't know how things were done in the Americas.

[ bruce's accent makes this an educated guess. ] But it isn't unlikely.

[beknight]

[ He nods — most people here are from some version of Earth that it's not likely. Although he seems to be running into a lot of Brits. Only Alfred would find this amusing. ]

If it exists — and I won't suggest it doesn't — they've kept the secret well.

[ nightingale inclines his head. ]

That was certainly the way of it England. [ a sigh. ] At least of late.

[beknight]

[ He opens the next door for Nightingale, gesturing him through. ]

Why's that?

[ettersberg]

There's not many left capable of the art.

[ a simple answer for something that still feels monumental to nightingale. ]

[beknight]

[ Bruce was raised by a Brit, it tells him everything. He seems to be spending a lot of time amongst survivors, recently. ]

With any luck you'll enjoy the material here. We have this wing left before the library.

[ettersberg]

[ nightingale wasn't the only survivor — but in the end, he was the only one capable of carrying on, duty and stubbornness providing the means. the others had been dead or too injured, in body or in mind or both. nightingale still spends too many nights sleepless. ]

And what does this wing house?

[beknight]

[ Duty and stubbornness are one's bread and butter, honestly, but Bruce has learnt the value of making a good friend. ]

[ He's not used to it. But effort is better than none. ]

The physics labs. Nothing theoretical, I think that's one of the restricted areas.

[ettersberg]

[ whatever sense of duty nightingale has left here in the absence of the folly and his official tasks is those still in stasis, to peter who is his apprentice and subordinate, and to molly, who was a servant of the folly for so long and still is, in many ways. ]

Then I think the time is ripe for the library.
