Xarxos surveyed his office and nodded to himself. "Yes, this will do. Might need to bring in a tea set." Seeing that there was nothing here to do, Xarxos waddled off to the Library.
Walking around the library, Xarxos examined the various knick knacks displayed in the glass cases. Nothing seemed to spark any interest, and he went over to the bookshelves to take a gander at the huge range of books available. Picking up the first book he came to, Xarxos glanced at the cover.
Treatise on Gadgeteering
OOC: See

As he viewed the book, his mind got into gear and he started imagining the possibilities of using gadgeteering in mathematics. The Treatise mentioned a book known as "The Mechanica" which was the first book on Gadgeteering that humans came to know and use. It might be useful in the future, should the need arrise. It also mentioned a tool box that one should use as a beginner. "Hmmm.. I'll have to look for that book and I think I'll requisition that tool box."
Having finished reading and memorising the book, Xarxos places the book back upside-down into the shelf.
Browsing the other titles, he selected 5 other books on mathematics and gadgeteering, carrying them to his study.
