[Locked to "Oracle"]

Hey. We haven't met, but Jason Todd told me to get in touch with you to see if there was anything I could do to help with what's going on over there. I created a program over here that uses known vitals, DNA, personal data, etc., to create an algorithm that sweeps cubic areas in search of matching organic matter. He thought maybe it could help. Or he was trying to make me feel useful from another door, which would be just like him. My name's Gwen.

	It is electronic, ma'am. I've used the Batcave computer with it. I have an interface, but I don't know if it's still active. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I was wondering where that one led. Fire away. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She starts the program upload.] Jason says the danger level there is "fluid." Can you tell me how much he's lying to me? Don't worry. I'm not going to do anything stupid like run over there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Locked: Oracle/Gwen S pythia 2014-08-26 04:28 pm UTC (link)
	Fluid's a pretty good way of describing it actually. How well do you know Jason? How much do you think he's fudging? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Locked: Oracle/Gwen S ephemeras 2014-08-26 05:25 pm UTC (link)
	I know him pretty well now. I've met Mr. Grayson too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Locked: Oracle/Gwen S pythia 2014-08-26 08:03 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, I remember. [Still watching the upload as it almost completes.] You were here a few weeks right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Locked: Oracle/Gwen S ephemeras 2014-08-26 09:23 pm UTC (link)
	I was there briefly and sort of memorably. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Locked: Oracle/Gwen S pythia 2014-08-26 09:47 pm UTC (link)
	We're a little too used to memorable. How are you recovering, by the way? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Locked: Oracle/Gwen S ephemeras 2014-08-26 11:28 pm UTC (link)
	There hasn't been much time for recovering. The toxin here got everyone sick. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Locked: Oracle/Gwen S pythia 2014-08-27 12:01 am UTC (link)
	You too? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Locked: Oracle/Gwen S ephemeras 2014-08-27 03:03 am UTC (link)
	Me too, but I'm better now. [...] What is the probability of this "event" having a favorable result? I haven't figured that out in your door yet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Locked: Oracle/Gwen S pythia 2014-08-27 03:13 am UTC (link)
	[Brow raise, even if she can't see it.] The door as a whole or in direct response to situations such as this? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Locked: Oracle/Gwen S ephemeras 2014-08-27 04:02 am UTC (link)
	In direct response to situations like this. I was here for the plague caused by Ra's, and I know the outcome of the situation with Carnage. It makes me feel better to know percentages of probability. I'm worried. [When the program finishes uploading, she starts sending over some of the queries and parameters she used to find Pete and Loki in the past.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Locked: Oracle/Gwen S pythia 2014-08-27 05:19 am UTC (link)
	[She watches the program unfold, an low and impressed hum escaping her.] What was the percentage of the plague and Carnage? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Locked: Oracle/Gwen S ephemeras 2014-08-27 05:35 am UTC (link)
	Right now, I've calculated your probability of success at 23.6% for capture and 69.7% for a majority of the population surviving the incident. Please tell me I'm missing events that would make a difference in the percentages? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Locked: Oracle/Gwen S pythia 2014-08-27 02:00 pm UTC (link)
	There are, and you also need to factor in the curve ball. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Locked: Oracle/Gwen S ephemeras 2014-08-27 04:07 pm UTC (link)
	What curve ball, ma'am? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Locked: Oracle/Gwen S pythia 2014-08-27 04:37 pm UTC (link)
	That Gotham, and certain Gothamites in particular, have a historical record of beating odds. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Locked: Oracle/Gwen S ephemeras 2014-08-27 04:39 pm UTC (link)
	I don't guess you have a percentage of probability for that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Locked: Oracle/Gwen S pythia 2014-08-27 05:46 pm UTC (link)
	By definition, the numbers mean little. It's part of that old Gotham charm. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Locked: Oracle/Gwen S ephemeras 2014-08-27 05:52 pm UTC (link)
	I think numbers are reassuring. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Locked: Oracle/Gwen S pythia 2014-08-27 07:18 pm UTC (link)
	The numbers are good. [And as the program does it's job and more info pours in from the comms and from the dispatch feeds.] They're getting better with every minute. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Locked: Oracle/Gwen S ephemeras 2014-08-27 07:25 pm UTC (link)
	Really? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Locked: Oracle/Gwen S pythia 2014-08-27 09:25 pm UTC (link)
	Really. I'm not into lying, Gwen. I think it's a morale breaker and has a bad tendencies of rubberbanding in your face. I'll hedge, certainly, but when I say the tide is turning, I'm not lying. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Locked: Oracle/Gwen S ephemeras 2014-08-27 10:34 pm UTC (link)
	Okay. Thanks, ma'am. It's hard to worry from another door, and Jason just wants to be stupid and make me think everything's okay, but he's kind of a terrible liar. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Locked: Oracle/Gwen S pythia 2014-08-28 12:35 am UTC (link)
	They usually are. A pro-tip though, he's not going to grow out of that habit of trying to make it so you don't worry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Locked: Oracle/Gwen S ephemeras 2014-08-28 01:20 am UTC (link)
	You sound like someone with experience. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Locked: Oracle/Gwen S pythia 2014-08-28 06:06 am UTC (link)
	Too much. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Locked: Oracle/Gwen S ephemeras 2014-08-28 06:35 am UTC (link)
	Can I ask you for a favor? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Locked: Oracle/Gwen S pythia 2014-08-28 06:51 am UTC (link)
	Hit me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Locked: Oracle/Gwen S ephemeras 2014-08-28 07:00 am UTC (link)
	If things take a turn for the worse, can you let me know? I promise not to do anything impulsive or irresponsible. I'd rather know that someone is going to inform me, than wonder if there's something bad going on that I don't have any idea about. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Locked: Oracle/Gwen S pythia 2014-08-28 11:35 pm UTC (link)
	I'll keep you abreast as best as I can. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Locked: Oracle/Gwen S ephemeras 2014-08-28 11:36 pm UTC (link)
	Thanks, ma'am. (Reply to this) (Parent)
