You pull out the tome.

Also, at some point while you're reading it, there's a loud screech of metal, and a huge noise like something heavy crashing into a roof somewhere nearby. But not like, super nearby.

[Well, that tracks both for Hope and Serenity's perception of her! He smiles, but the metal screech makes him mcfucking drop the volume, clapping his hands over his ears. Turns out sounds of destruction are like, bad when you have apocalypse trauma!!

If it passes after a time, he's going to uncurl, shakily pick up the volume and try to put it back on the shelf, then head in the direction of the noise.]

It's very brief—just the one impact. You think it came from somewhere in the direction of the writing lounge or computer center.

[well let's check computer first! Since he's already been there and kinda knows what it used to look like]

You check the computer center, but do not find any changes.
