This time there was breakfast food out - maybe not the best breakfast food since it was a donation from McMooby's, but at least there was protein in it. And the Perk had sent along one of those giant business-meeting coffee dispensers.

Up at a table near the front, there was a notebook with neat (if ~~extremely~~ somewhat girly) handwriting that detailed what had been found so far: sunlight, holy water, stakes, a device under the school that controls the island... it was all there. What they didn't have, of course, was anything to tell them where to send the other island, or how, or any guarantee the people over there could do anything with the information. Assuming the other Fandom even had everything in it that this one did.

So. Piles of books on the tables. Yes. Lots and loooots of books.

[OOC: OPEN! Research post two, ends just before noon because that's when volunteers will be scurrying over to Town Hall to get the collected info to the last of the non-comatose sleepers!]

"Hey," Reese interrupted. "Do you have a second?"

Francine looked up with more than a little relief from the atlas she was paging through and failing to figure out exactly where Fandom was a year ago.

"Lots of them," she admitted, pushing the book away. "Did you find something?"

"That's the thing. I don't know." He put a couple of sheets of paper in front of her. "It took some digging, but now I keep finding this thing. Part of it looks like a control panel, but, uh..." He leafed over to a written explanation. "I'm not good at reading."

Francine didn't even blink at that, after knowing Firekeeper this long. She just said, "If you can tell what that is just by looking at it, you're still way better off than me."

She dipped her head to look at the text, hoping it was in English or she was screwed. "Oh good. I don't know how well I'll understand it, but I can read it."

"If you can read it to me, I might understand it?" he offered.

Francine nodded, then began reading. "Thank you for purchasing your brand new Acme Positronic Flux Ca-- Capacitator with Tachygeh-- Tacky--" She paused, staring at the word for several seconds. "I think we can skip this part."

She jumped down to the bits that were listed out with numbers that corresponded to the diagram, and started reading those off to him instead, finishing with a hopeful glance. "Was that English?"

"Yeah," he assured her. "It was English." He looked deep in thought. "I was right. It's like the dashboard of a bigger machine. You use it to enter...something and the machine does what you tell it to do." He wasn't explaining it very well.

"Driving directions?" Francine's glance fell on the atlas she'd pushed aside.

"Yeah, you could call them that. But driving what?"

Francine clapped her hand over her mouth for a second, then grinned widely, something she really hadn't done a lot of this week. "Us! Fandom!" Wow, feeling hopeful was kind of cool. She should look into doing that more often.

"Can you do that?" he asked, then realized it was a stupid question. "I guess according to this you can. Does this help?"

"We can do that," Francine confirmed. "Well, not me. I'm lucky they let me have a license to drive a car. But somebody will be able to. You have no idea how much this helps!" Whoa, was that a bounce?

Kyle felt a sense of relief. "Good. I'm going to keep looking," he declared. "You'll know better than me who the best person is to get that stuff to."

"I will," Francine promised, since God knew it wasn't her. "Thank you. So much."
