[ DC 104 ] At 14:10, soon after the Wagon Wheel power shuts off

( ooc: Group thread encrypted to all specials (threadjacking encouraged). )

Power in the Wagon Wheel just shut off completely.
I'm not sure what's going on.
IntSec is freaking out right now.

[ Oh, of course, she should also mention: ]

I'm okay for now, I think. Maybe. But it's starting to get loud in the hall.
No one can get in or out of any of the doors.
Help.

[ Felicity's on the 17th floor of the Wagon Wheel, since she actually got assigned to work for IntSec. Maybe it was lucky, since IntSec, given their jobs, was one of the more protected floors. ]

Okay, not going there. Your PDC is clearly working, think that you can use that beautiful mind of yours and give me a little hand along the way once I know which way I'm going?

[smoak]

I never thought you'd ask.

[ She's actually been working on that for the past ten minutes, trying to see if her PDC is powerful enough. If she had access to her Encryption Breakers computer, HA. This would've been a piece of cake.

A good minute or so later: ]

Armed Forces is on the NW border of the Complex.

[ She doesn't have a GPS on him, she hasn't gotten there yet, but with a little help on both sides, she should be able to at least guide him there. ]

[ Cisco isn't really the type to sit on his ass when something needs done, but at the same time, he's also not the type to rush into something without a plan. He never has been and he's not going to start now in a place where the rules are all significantly changed, so the fact that Felicity seems a step ahead on that is a huge relief. Not a surprise, but definitely a relief. ]

Okay. For reference, where's R&D in relation? Because that's where I am right now.

[ He's more than happy to fill in the blanks, if she gives him the blanks to fill in, which he feels like she sort of just did. ]

[runsonwater]

It's to West of R&D. But be careful, just because IntSec is down doesn't mean the security measures AF has in place are down. There are always plenty of guards around.

But if you could find where they keep prisoners, that'd be a start.

[ ...shit, good point. ]

I'll see what I can do and I'll be careful. Felicity, keep being my eyes as long as you can manage it. I'm heading out.

[smoak]

You shouldn't encounter any guards in the subsectors on your way there.

I'm looking through the Armed Services sectors. If someone asks what you're doing, you could probably get away with telling them you're looking for the Training Complex.

Bad news is, I'm not seeing listings for something like, PRISON or JAIL. Or even a holding unit, really.

[runsonwater]

Look for something to do with reprogramming.

[ As unsettling as that prospect is, it seems more in line with what the computer might call corrective action. ]

Or rehabilitation.

...please tell me that that's just a fancy way to say they stuck him in the orientation room and are torturing him with that film...

[smoak]

[ A few minutes later. ]

Cisco. I have some bad news.

[namegenerator]

Awesome, bad news is my favorite.

[ Sarcasm so thick it almost definitely translates through text, even. ]

All right, lay it on me.

[smoak]

Reprogramming, or what I think stands for reprogramming in the system, is in the Technical Services Sector.

Armed Forces is NW. Technical Services is W.

For real?

You realize I'm on a "bathroom break" right now, right? Nobody has to pee for that long, Felicity, they're going to think I have like explosive diarrhea or something come on, you're killing me here.

[smoak]

...at least it's not SE?

[namegenerator]

Ha. Okay, I'm going.

i'm sorry i couldn't help myself.

[smoak]

Are you there yet?

lol Jesus

[namegenerator]

For real?

[smoak]

Hey I can't track your location via GPS. Yet.

[namegenerator]

Not yet. I keep getting stopped and turned around every corridor I try. I don't think I'm gonna get anywhere worthwhile in this RED thing I'm stuck in... There's guards everywhere.

[smoak]

Maybe...

Maybe this was a stupid idea.




We’re not ready. We need more clearance, I need more than just my PDC.

[ And truth be told, she can’t bear the thought of you getting arrested for treason right now Cisco. ]

[namegenerator]

I can get behind not getting arrested today, so like...yeah. Maybe we need a more clear cut plan and not JUST the opportunity. I'm gonna call it. I'm sorry. But we're gonna find him, Felicity. Just not today.

[smoak]

It's

[ It's okay? No, that wasn't what she was feeling. ]

It's the right call. Keep yourself safe Cisco.

[namegenerator]

[ Yeah, he gets the hesitation there, but he isn't going to call her out on it because honestly, he really can't blame her. He's guessing the default would've been "it's okay" but it isn't okay. Even he knows that. ]

If this place is really as crazy as this all the time, this won't be the last chance we get like this, though. It's gonna be fine, we're going to find him. We just need a solid plan for the next window of opportunity. That's all.

end on your next one?

[smoak]

You're right.

Next time, we'll be ready.

Thank you for trying, Cisco.

sounds good!

[namegenerator]

You're welcome. Sorry I couldn't do more. I'll see you guys soon. Stay safe.
