This is a PSA to anyone who is being affected (infection or otherwise) by the 'Flare' virus that is caused a quarantine in Heropa. For anyone who is stranded after the attacks on Nonah and Heropa by the ... Dragon. And for anyone who is having trouble tracking someone down.

I have access to eyes and ears all over the cities, ~~technically~~ technologically speaking, so if you're looking for someone in this giant mess of a crisis, I'm your girl. (Not your girl, but your girl. Your go to. Yo' man.

Okay.)

If you are looking for someone's whereabouts, their status, or anything else along those lines, just leave me a message here and I'll get on it. I'm stuck where I am, I'm not infected, and I'm feeling insanely useless. So please. If I can help you, let me. If there's anything else you need that has to do with technology? Ask and I can probably lend a hand.

[ from ➹ ]

Lock this.

[He's such a gem.]

[ Happy now, you big grump? ]

Locked.

[Is he ever?

Also switching to voice, now]

You have a way to access the entire city?

[Oliver Queen when will you ever learn to just accept what Felicity can do.]

Technically speaking? How?

Uh. Not exactly. But I can hack into video surveiilance and track down people if I'm really focused on it. I'm having a little trouble with Maurtia Falls for some reason, but otherwise it's not that hard. I replicated my facial recognition software from back home fairly easily here.

[ R u impressed, mister Queen. ]

Bad wording on my part. Technologically speaking. I'll fix that.

[ But that isn't an answer! ]

Technologically? You use the communicators? Cameras? You track people?

If you can do what you say you can, that's pretty impressive. You must be a super class-A hacker.

[Unlike the fire-breathing hybrid above him, Will cuts through the shit because wow this post is actually almost as horrifying as a plague and a dragon combined.]

So you've been invading the population's privacy all along?

Bit of all of the above. I'm really good at computers. And tracking people down by any means necessary. A lot of cameras, especially. I have software to help.

Guilty as charged. It's kind of my thing.

[ Hey whoa, she is totally a good guy here, okay. ]

Uh, no? I haven't done anything yet. And I'm not home invading. Unless the person you're looking for is out and about, I can probably find you their last known whereabouts. Camera views. Super helpful.

Some people don't want to be found though. Others just don't want their privacy invaded.
Excluding the current circumstances. Hope this isn't something you abuse.

[ Though TBH this is laughable coming from her! She's just paranoid about this because it's ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING. Wouldn't this freak out many imPorts, though? Excluding the current circumstances, of course. ]

[Good is so relative.]

Then how can you possibly know that you're the girl, the go to, the man if you haven't actually used whatever methods are at your disposal for this specific purpose before?

Mine as well.

Ms. Smoak, is it?

[ W ow trust issues galore, on this one. Not that she completely blames him. It's kind of a weird thing to bring up. But then again, geez, see the bright side in things. ]

Look, I'm only offering to help families or friends find loved ones they can't track down because of the crazy going on right now. Is that really such a bad thing? I'm not seeking out hideouts or anything, just where they've been running loose on Flare in the city.

Nice catch. Yeah, that's me. Need help finding anyone?

Or I guess maybe not if this is what you do for a living too.

[ Ur hilarious miss, being all hypocritical and such. Not that Felicity knows any of that, of course. Yet. She could maybe find out. Find something out. If given the motivation and time. ]

I'm not exactly looking for people who are hiding themselves away for their own reasons. I'm talking people who are running lose with the infection who could potentially be causing harm to themselves or anyone else.

[The bright side has a downside where it does not seem to realize there is a dark side, that's where he's looking. Over yonder, to the shady place. They call it the Danger Zone. Alternatively, the bright side is full of shit and is dancing in the Danger Zone because people can be lured easily and not realize they're holding their loved ones under the water while thinking they're actually pulling them out.]

So you have a very thorough screening process to make sure these families or friends are actual family and friends instead of simply lying about it in order to do the opposite of help, right? Do you function as a lie detector, too? It's "really such a bad thing", yes. You're not only violating privacy, but without doing a lot of additional just as violating work, you're likely giving it to the wrong people. That might make you feel less useless, but it risks putting others in danger when the situation is already precarious enough. Which is the exact opposite of what you claim to be attempting here. But I could be wrong. That could be your thing.

[Shitstirring just to make the situation worse than it already is? Not Anonymous!]

[ Now now! She's just raising concerns that a lot of imPorts must have, no need to be a scary little missy, thar.

Potentially. Of course. Whatever. She understands the threat regardless of what this peach promises, so making a stink about it in public will only waste time. Better to keep it amiable. ]

Can't blame the curiosity. Not a lot of people advertise that sort of thing.
Good way to apply it at least.

Edited (WO W THAT WAS AMAZING DID U SEE THAT CLUSTER FUCK OF CODE i hope you enjoyed that) 2015-04-26 07:44 (UTC)

I do actually screen people before I help them out. I may be blonde, but I'm not that blonde. This isn't my first rodeo, either. I do this kind of thing for a living back home. And in a helpful kind of way. In a 'protect the city' kind of way.

[ Is she getting a little offended? Sure. She could always say she works for the police- she might yet, considering her affiliation and speed-dial to the Captain back home. She gets the paranoia, but jeez louise. ]

[ But she's petite and blonde, she has to be scary somehow!!! ]

Isn't that always what people want to know in times of crisis though? How are their friends and family, the people they can't get in touch with? They just 'want to know they're okay' kind of thing?

[ It's a good idea, damnit. People are just suddenly all defensive because they don't want to be spied on. She's not spying on you if you're talking to her o mg. ]

I'm Major Kusanagi. I'm not looking for anyone, but I am interested in people with your skills. Does your hacking ability come from your powers?

It's what a lot of people want. Not what everybody wants. Some would take advantage of the situation and what you're offering.
But I'm sure you're careful.

[ She's not, but she does pick her battles. ~~Will Graham u need to calm down.~~ ]

No one said anything about you being blonde.

[Though that's helpful to know. If it's legitimate, of course.]

You realize you didn't say that in your initial message, don't you? So now not only are you volunteering your services on people who might not want to be found, you're going to be looking into anyone who throws a name your way without making that known beforehand. You're doing too well omitting pertinent information about your methods for it to be your first rodeo.

[Lying to someone with Internal Affairs and various police station numbers on speed dial will not help this case.]

you probably 2hould have just 2et up a memo, youre not the only one who can track people down

fiind a better proxy, two.

[He already assumes any tech he hasn't personally secured is watching him so he's rolling his eyes at all these people freaking out]

Generally speaking, yeah. I'm offering, but I'm not being stupid about it. But geez, you try and be a good Samaritan and everyone is jumping down your throat.

[ he rly does u tell him mary ]

Nope, I'm more of a self taught type. Built my own computer when I was six.

[ Yes she loves to brag about it. ]

I didn't, because I don't automatically assume everyone who messages me is going to have some dark, ulterior motive.

I'm the only one who's offered any kind of help with it during a time that would probably be considered a crisis, tho.

Also. My proxy is just fine for now, thanks.

[ Stop being such a worrywart, Sollux!! ]

well ii'll help
partiicularly iif you deal wiith the people actiing liike dumb wriigglers because they have no 2en2e of 2elf-pre2ervatiion

look, ii know ii'm good but iif ii can get iin other people probably can two

In where exactly? Plenty of places you can get into that I left open intentionally.

thii2 po2t
ii can 2ee your actual po2ter IID

'F. 2moak' iif you thought ii wa2 bluffiing

Well duh, I didn't leave it untraceable. Just with a bit of a challenge. I find it's a good way to make friends. Or enemies I guess. Or just people on my own level.

But you'll automatically be screening them anyway without making that known first and foremost. That makes it pertinent information regardless of whether or not they have dark, ulterior motives.

[why is he explaining this why is this not obvious is he being yanked around is ablondiemous fully aware and just doesn't give a shit or what]

It would be even stranger for everyone to just blindly believe you wouldn't it? Just as strange as you assuming people will have good intentions. That would be a nice world but it isn't this one. Don't put yourself out there if you're afraid to get knocked down. Only way to stay sharp.
What you're offering is sweet in theory. Hope it helps.

So you're capable of hacking surveillance systems across multiple cities using just conventional, modern-day technology?

[Well, color her a little bit impressed if so.]

[Moderately, Ms. Smoak.]

Good. I need you to keep an open search open for two people at the moment-- Ramir and Thomas.

[AKA two of his wayward teenager squad.

............................ give him a moment and he might remember to say thank you or something. God, Oliver.]

...okay that2 not a totally cullbaiit iidea

though iit'd probably stiill get you kiilled back home

Where's Yang?! I can't find her on the communicating device anymore!

[ Don't mind him, he just hasn't realized that she's been ported out. ]

Ramir and Thomas... What, no last names? Although I suppose if I search the network postings by name, I might find them. Is this more of a 'where are they right now' or a 'just keep an eye on these rascals' kind of thing?

[ She doesn't really expect it, tbh. I mean sure, he says it when it's really warranted, and that's more than enough for her. .. Even if it still is weird and unsettling to have past!him in comparison to the slightly more open and smiley version she's grown used to. ]

I mean I might not be able to do it with older tech, but as long as I have something with a wifi connection, I can probably do it.

[ Her own stuff is ... more than capable, to say the least. ]

That might depend on which version of home you're talking about. Because I'm pretty sure the statistical likelihood of it happening back in my home are slim to maybe.

If she's not on the comms or showing up on the network, and any messages sent her way are pinging back... She's probably been ported out. I wouldn't be able to find her if her comm is returning to sender.

I'm impressed that you can manage all that without a cyber-brain.

No last names. [They're obnoxious like that.] Just keep an eye out. Ramir is a housemate, Thomas... [He pauses because-- well. It's not like Thomas is shy about admitting what he knows to the Network.] I believe he and Newt are from the same world.

[He's a pain in the ass, just call it like it is.]

hiighbloods can get viiciious iif they fiind out youre tryiing two pull one over them
