He will most certainly need to come to terms with the fact he will have to read - the Library has all of the archives of everything that has ever been done in the Collected Nations of Struxta since the very beginning. And we mean very beginning. The history of this world goes back thousands and thousands of years, and the sheer size of the material may be overwhelming. Even with his search terms, it will pull up more material than Firo would really be able to consume, even over the span of a few days. He may need to find some help, or other Circle members to work with, when it comes to shifting through all of this information.

Some basics he would be able to find after spending a day or so reading through documents!
- there were natural life forms (humans, people, etc) that originally colonized the planet.
- robots and androids were introduced to help make life easier

It's hard to tell exactly how long ago this happened, and to the degrees these things occurred. He is certainly welcome to do more research! But again, it will take a lot of time and energy. It is very much recommended for him to try and bring in others to help!

And you are correct! All information is digitized and held on servers, and can be pulled out through a single computer and read through in documents (all handily translated thanks to Astoria's watch!). There will be someone there to show him the basics of how to use the computer, but considering his unfamiliarity with the devices, it might take him even longer to search for what he's looking for.
