[ Public speaking is far from Ben's forte, but the good thing about uploading a video like this is that he can do multiple takes. In the frame behind Ben are shelves full of books; he filmed this in that little anteroom of the library that he and Peter had unearthed from the rubble.
He gets right to it; no introductions, no small talk. ]
Can anyone with experience at interpreting maps, handling old and fragile documents, or just anybody who speaks multiple languages please get in contact with me? I found some interesting stuff in the library a while back but I'm not making much progress with it.
[ A pause, and he seems about to terminate the video. Then he adds as an afterthought: ]
Oh, and I guess if anybody is just looking for something good to read to pass the time, I can help out with that. I can check if a particular book is down here, or recommend something.
[ Ben's self-appointed himself as the de facto librarian of the Anchor, because he wants to contribute in some way, and he's always been a bit of a bookworm. ]

[ Ben takes a moment to adjust, clearly just eyeballing it to figure out how to make the map take up the full screen. Once he's got it as close as it'll go without getting out of focus, he moves it from side to side. His face is no longer visible but he still speaks as he's moving it. ]
If you've got any idea what some of these markings mean... I've been really curious. We know so little about this place and the people who were here before us. And I guessed these had to be important because they were kept in such a safe place, tucked away. People don't go to that much trouble to hide something that's nothing, you know?
