Esoteric Researcher

[Davnik]

The Librarian has long since needed a... revamp, of sorts... but this takes it to an entirely new level. While we skim most of the "library" for hydroponics, we will be downsizing and rearranging the Chapel, and that means we'll have enough space for the expansion of the Librarian's backroom. This role will cease to be a simple book-keeper, deferring more to an indivdiual who knows a little too much about the nature of the Gate, and has a myriad assortment of terribly useful bits and ends in his back office, from strange and damaged gadgets and artifacts to cult tools and a computerized array of forbidden knowledge. The new nature of the role and what secrets it knows will be explained on a custom computer, and his backroom - while incredibly lethal - could serve as an incredibly potent resource for antagonists who know how to utilize its powers... without simply sacrificing their curious souls to the dark beyond.

Just to recap. The front will have department services, especially a requests console and such, and be able to handle book orders and other miscellany at a front reception counter. The backroom will contain a computer 'library' and perhaps a shelf with physical books of 'forbidden knowledge', along with a laboratory assortment of gadgets, artifacts, cult equipment (per the new Cult roundtype), and other dark implements accrued overa lifetime of research.

This requires Esoteric Researcher, Cult revamp, some other revamps, and so on, to actually be completed... before this task has any foundation. Backburner.
