A Library the size of Europe

A magnificent glass hall of seemingly infinite size spans before you. You have landed right at one of its borders. A gazillion shelves stack dozens of books each, layer upon layer, not a body, but a whole civilization of wisdom. In between, occasional chairs and desks invite to linger and to prosper in knowledge. Looking up, four statues throne high above your head on four pedestals. Their shapes look vaguely familiar, but you are unable to discern their identity.

Today, however, the Library is completely devoid of crowds. Who knows whether it is safe here.

Attend some talks

It's what you are here for.

Go
Replace a missing speaker

With your broad expertise, you should be able to pick up all you need to know from their presentation notes on the fly.

You cannot do this because your Renown: The Scientists is not high enough.

Wander around

Where you are seems like an interesting place.

Go
Understand the sigils on the Coffee Automaton

They seem to convey some meaning. If you focus really hard, you may be able to decode them.

The result of this action depends on luck.

Investigate
Stroll a rooftop garden

It can't be that hard to find a way up.

Go
Rest

Commision a bed for yourself. Today was just the prelude – the Conference will only properly begin tomorrow.

This will progress the story. Make sure you have played all other branches that you wish.
