______________

Clyota is safe at Cristina’s, but she still has that pesky, unconscious thief on her lawn.  She decides to make an anonymous call, as one does under circumstances like these . . . But there’s a problem . . . 

I logged into my personal account and entered my staff code.  I could contact the Police through the Library Network, which was as anonymously secure as it got—Sys Admin would know I’d made a call, and to whom, but no one else would, ever.  The Library didn’t just dishonorably discharge Librarians who failed to protect Patron Privacy, they permanently discharged them.

The terminal beeped.  I frowned and tapped in my code again. Beep.
