In his travels about the city, Alcatraz realizes that he is a huge celebrity and for a while gets caught up in the adulation. He snaps out of it when grandpa gives him a smack and points out that he’s becoming like his father, who remains aloof and dismissive of his son. Alcatraz has gotten so caught up in his fame that he’s forgotten that he can testify at Bastille’s trial. They rush off to [[Crystallia]].
As usual, Grandpa and Alcatraz arrive late, but they insist on testifying anyway. Their pleas do seem to reduce the sentence of Bastille, who is cut off from the [[Mindstone]] for a couple of days. When they arrive back at Keep Smedry, [[Kangchenjunga Sarekgjakka|She Who Cannot Be Named]] is waiting there for them. She appears to be a nice old lady, but she is, in fact, one of the most vicious Librarians of them all. Her presence at the treaty negotiations is not a good sign (except for the yummy cookies she brings).
Alcatraz rushes back to the Royal Archives (not a library!) to beat Shasta to whatever she is looking for while Grandpa goes to the treaty vote to try to dissuade the council from signing. Alcatraz finds a large room with books heaped everywhere and decides that he needs a Librarian to organize it all. With the help of [[Rikers Dartmoor|Prince Rikers]], Bastille’s brother, they go fetch Himalaya and she begins to sort the books with supernatural speed.
Just as Alcatraz finds a book in the [[Forgotten Language]] containing information about the Smedry Talents, Shasta enters the room with a group of Librarian thugs and a [[Dark Oculator]]. He disguises himself as a Librarian using Disguiser’s Lenses and hands the book over to Shasta. [[Fitzroy]] reads the cover and confirms it’s the one they’re looking for. Alcatraz breaks the lights in the room and they all escape; however, they have only escaped into a Librarian stronghold – the entire room has been switched out using Transporter’s Glass! The whole crew is captured.
