Bob - a few are androids, others are AIs with hologram avatars. A few are probably just Fen, but the ones based on fictional characters are androids or AIs.
The defense force for the Archive would be fen or biomodded fen.
As for the Bookwyrms - they're more for preventing unauthorized access into the Library, rather than staying in the library proper. I see at least a few
large areas before you get into the areas with data storage, when you first land and head into the interior. The Wyrms are the protectors there, along with the
lions.
*grin* And yes, there are some paper books in the archive. But a lot of books are also stored as data. Not just to be read on a screen, though. Remember how
much the Jason is getting into using holotech. Want a book? If you've got the info, call up a solid hologram of it. Even better - you can read in the tub
without having to worry about the paper getting soaked.
