Some notes to point out:
While I am far from discontinuing this little ficcie, I have to say that I will be putting it on hiatus for awhile. For one, I'm almost done reading V5, and will be spending the next four or so days on an isolated lone island (sound familiar?) with zero internet connection, and zero computers. I've already prepared countermeasures to keep me from going insane from the lack of electronics, that is, printing out V6-8, and reading them in my free time.
That way, I kill two birds with one stone: I retain my sanity, and catch up on events that have been conspiring since. Like that mysterious "emerald green van" thingie that I picked up from my scanning the novels when I was editing them for printing. I would like to thank you guys for reviewing and giving input on this little pet project of mine, and rest assured, I will get back to this in due time. Hopefully, by next week.
In the meantime, I leave you with this little excerpt that I've managed to scrounge up in my restlessness…
"'Scribe', you say?" Koizumi's perpetual smile broke into that other expression of his that I'd grown familiar with: the overly serious façade.
"That's what he said."
"Nagato-san," the esper looked at the humanoid life contact interface, who, through all this, remained as cold and statuesque as she had always seemed from the very beginning. I can imagine she must be pretty shaken on the inside despite her programming, considering what Haruhi had done to her. "Do you have any idea what this 'Scribe' might be?"
"I reiterate: Contact with the Integrated Data Entity has been severed by Haruhi Suzumiya. It is impossible to make use of its database to search for 'Scribe'."
Pardon me, Nagato, but… isn't it unusual for you to dodge the question? Is there something you're hiding from us?
"No."
"Ah, I see…" I sighed. "So do you know about 'Scribe'?" This matter had to be pressed on, if the Russian was convinced it to be our only hope.
"'Scribe' is a pet program created by Haruhi Suzumiya. Details concerning it aside from this fact are completely unknown."
"Do you know where we might be able to find it?" Possibly the most important question of all.
"No."
Damn!
