Question Tracer

Talk about Tracer here!

So, are there things that he can't find?

Like Sara? Or is that just a limit of his power source right now? ... He was never brought up here: whateleyacademy.net/index.php/forum/spec...es-to-rescue-herself

Is his finding power actually ESP, or a special brand of Olympian/Spirit magic?

If there are things he can't find, who would have the required knowledge to hide something from him?

As I understand it, the problem with searching for Sara is that it would be like looking for your shoes in your neighbors house. You can't find them there, because they are in your house. Sara can't be found by people looking mystically or mentally, because she is in another dimension.

Well, given what Ergonomic says in Canto VI

"I heard it's something to do with the Heyoka murder," Ergonomic answered in a soft voice. "Rumor is there's a safe and some kind of large paper."

Anyone hiring Tracer to help wouldn't be asking him to find Sara, but actually the summoning paper. ... Is that paper warded against detection? Or are Summoning Circles/Whatevers, auto-protected against being Found?

Or what? ... Speculation's fine, as always, if there's no Canon answer forthcoming.

Again, in my opinion and understanding, since the circle is folded inside the paper, the circle itself isn't on this plane, so Tracer and other finding techniques can't detect it.

Best bets to find her, is to find the roll of Tyvex that the piece came off of, and use that to find the pieces that belong to it. Or have Jade use the J-Team to search everything in the school. Or have a Devisor build a Tyvex detecting device.

The real objection to this line of inquiry, however, is that Tracer may not be interested in finding Sara. I mean, he's one of the New Olympians; Sara is a GOO. They aren't exactly friendly.

I'm missing a piece to the puzzle. Has Tracer been in any stories? I see his page on the Wiki with no references and I searched the forum with no references other than the Sara search page.

No, you're not. I just brought him up 'cause I thought I needed to know how he finds things, in order to make something hidden from Whateley Admins and people.

Couldn't Whateley Admin provide some incentive for him to search for stuff for them?

He's been mentioned a few times, and possibly is in scenes with the other Olympians, but I don't think he has any real scenes by himself.

He does appear very briefly at the end of the Workshop guys and gals taking care of Make and Overclock.
