Welcome to Gaia! ::

Oracle was practically staring daggers at Jinx, "This isn't Steph? What the heck!? Is Batman putting ads in the paper now?!"

The goth sorceress held up her hands defensively, "Wait, please. The only reason I put this on, was so that Gotham PD wouldn't harass me or shoot me."

A slightly confused look appeared on Barbara's face, "You.... have a record..."

Oh God, this is really bad, Jinx's heart was practically in her throat, "Please.... don't hurt me. I only wanted to help. My name is Jinx, and I worked with the Titans. I'm actually a fan of your work, Miss Gordon. Really. You are a really good detective and an inspiration, but we really need your help. If you don't want to talk to me, I'll leave. Please, don't blame Robin for this, he had nothing to do with it."

"Jinx... You used to be with the Hive Five...," Barbara calmed slightly still holding a cold fury over the fact that someone was using her old costume, "There's only one way you can be wearing that costume. You know, don't you?"

Jinx nervously nodded, "And I'm sorry. It was a complete accident.... But, something really big is going down after the Russian retreated. Uhhhhh... Robin can you take it from here?"

That got Oracle's attention and she pulled out her PDA, "Which Titan? Most are dead from the Tower's collapse..."

Oracle pulled up the Titan files, the LED reflecting off her glasses, "Cyborg, that's right. His father transfered to the San Fran facility from here a year before Victor's accident. The main ground work for his research was done in Gotham. both Dr. Stone and his wife have been dead for some time... What's this about a National Security lockdown?"

Tim could see a tear roll down Jinx's cheek. She knew Cyborg personally as well.

Oracle nodded, "Not sure what I can bring up without tripping alarms..."

Jinx thought of something, "Hey, I did pull the NSA plates. That might help."

Jinx handed Oracle her Titan comm, and Babs looked at the plates and the pictures that Jinx took of the agents.

The goth pointed at the greying agent, "That's the guy in charge."

Oracle narrowed her eyes as she reviewed the video. Then she used facial recognition software to find out the idenitity of the lead agent, "Special Agent George Allen Quinn. Most of this file is blotted out. Looks like a lot of black bag stuff. Looks like he took over the archives on Dr. Silas Stone's work with cybornetics.... He was the government liasion for weapon research here in Gotham. Batman was observing him after noticing constant contact with LexCorp. There's something seriously firewalled here.... Project Pandora. Whatever that is..."

Jinx turned toward Robin, "Hey, didn't that Nightshade guy say something about him scooping up something, when the agents went nuts?"

Jinx used her comm to ask Crystal to have Nightshade come up. Before 'Batgirl' even had a chance to put her comm away, Nightshade emerged from the shadow beside Jinx, "You rang?"

Nightshade's resonant voice made jinx jump. The goth glared at his full mask, "Jeeeeeess, you're worse than Kyd Wykkyd. Maybe I should put a bell of you."

Des just looked at Jinx, "I'd like to see you try, but is there a reason that you called me up here?"

'Batgirl' recovered from her initial shock, "Yeah, that government agent said something was recently swiped from there..."

Nightshade nodded, "Ah, right."

The elder vigilante pulled out the half-burnt computer board out of his coat pocket, "Here you go."

Oracle held out her hand, while scrutinizing the dark crimefighter, "I'll take that.... Nightshade, eh? I've heard of a crimefighter with that name and your costume who was active during the fifties, but you can't be the same guy. Taken up the torch?"

Nightshade half laughed, "You don't miss much. You're close to the mark."

Oracle took the board and pulled out a specialized connector to patch it to her PDA. After a few moments, Oracle stated, "Alright. Looks like archive files.... Dr. Stone's work is listed here, as well as who all worked with him..... There's one active project listed: Pandora. The project was moved to the S.T.A.R. facility in Central City under Ruth Werneke. Hmmm... a weapons project there? Doesn't quite make sense. The facility at Central City specializes in lab work and research, not weapons development..."

Crystal walked in, having stopped by the cafeteria for a few to-go plates. ''Anyone else hungry?'' She placed the two large paper bags on the floor, pulling a stirofoam box out for herself and another, handing it to Barbara. ''So what's been found out so far?''

Kesshou, who had been sitting qietly on the window sill finally spoke. ''Something about the explosion being caused by Cyborg's weapon and this 'Pandora' thing that's coated in secrecy, wrapped in red tape and deap fried in consperacy.''

Crystal tilted her head slightly as she opened her box to a hamburger and fries. ''Well I'll assure you that Cy's scent was nowhere on that base. And this 'Pandora' consperacy,'' she looked to Babs, ''what do we know about that so far?''

Oracle accepted the cup of coffee, while Jinx grabbed a meal and began devouring it.

Barbara arched an eyebrow before continuing, "Well, at least we now know that Vic wasn't involved. Someone probably stole his tech. There's not much here. Project Pandora was started in Gotham and moved to Central City... I see two leads for work with the project: Dr. Emil Velinski and Dr. Taylor Cartwright. They don't say what they're working on; however..... I can bring up what I can on those scientists...."

A few searches later and Barbara let out a slight gasp, "Oh God.... They're both biochemists. Biochemists working on a weapons project...."
