If there isn't a horror scenario in here, I don't know where you could get one:

TL:DR 12 boats with 22 dead bodies on board have washed up on Japanese shores since October of this year.

Academic library, wouldn't blink an eye. Public library, depends on if the person manning the desk is a reference librarian or not. Either way, probably not the weirdest thing they've ever seen.

That'd be real interesting - have to be a heck of a payday to make it worth while to a Taker crew OR there'd have to be a plan to merchant it up between jobsites to in order to keep the crew going. But really interesting. I can see that sort of thing being necessary for mercy jobs in addition a bounty hunter job, seeing as Casualties do wander off.
Aaand now I have an idea for an entire Taker crew with this business model.....

So this is a thing that exists - the International Journal of Role-Playing, http://ijrp.subcultures.nl/
And if that isn't niche enough for you, there is the Eaton Journal of Archival Research in Science Fiction, http://eatonjournal.ucr.edu/

Speaking of Legos, there's a campaign on the ideas community for a Lovelace and Babbage set (with working Analytical Engine): https://ideas.lego.com/projects/102740
They're at 5K in supporters but Lego doesn't review sets until they hit the 10K mark. So go support them!
Did I mention that the Engine fits a Raspberry Pi 2.0?
Go support the Tron Light cycle set too

Currently reading Starting Point: 1979-1996 by Hayao Miyazaki-san - it's a collection of essays by Miyazaki and it's amazing to see him be such a curmudgeonly old man about the 'industrialization' of animation so early in his career (1980ish).

An archive of wax cylinder recordings, 10K of which have already been digitized: http://cylinders.library.ucsb.edu/index.php
Lots of sound for the public domain
