"I make sure to label every tape and every statement I collect or record and keep an index." He gestures lightly in the direction of the library. "I have worked as an archivist for some time. You get to know several indexing systems when spending a year trying to organize an archive your predecessor has actively spent literal decades to keep in disarray."

Ezra gets up to gets a better look at the library. He's still not sure what kind of indexing Jon means. Keywords? Titles?

"I want to ask why someone would run an archive and try to sabotage it at the same time, but I guess they thought is the best way to slow down something bad happening?"

Jon nods. "Precisely. Gertrude was... She knew what she was doing. For the most part. She had hoped that keeping the Archives in disarray would hold off the apocalypse long enough for her to form a plan on how to deal with it for good. In the end... She didn't anticipate getting murdered. Or for her successor to be... Well. As unprepared as possible."

"Let me guess, someone else was making sure you were as unprepared as possible?" Ezra asks, dryly as he looks over the materials in the small library.

"Pretty much." Jon approves. "Technically, I wasn't even qualified for an archiving position. But- I was easy to manipulate."
