In a time of global conflict, the elite international task force Overwatch formed. Soldiers, scientists, adventurers, and oddities: together, they ended the Omnic Crisis and restored peace to a war-torn world. For a generation, the heroes of Overwatch protected the world, inspiring an era of exploration, innovation, and discovery.

After many years, Overwatch became troubled, and finally disbanded. Without them, world conflict and terror rose again. Governments weakened by strife ceded power to mega-corporations and private security forces. Some omnics returned to war with humans, while others remained peaceful but faced fear and violence. Overwatch was goneā€¦but the world still needed heroes.

You are a young man who's been many things: adventurer, treasure hunter, freedom fighter, and international criminal. Recently you encountered the re-formed Overwatch: a grand title for two ex-agents, Winston and Tracer, operating as outlaws out of an abandoned Watchpoint. Despite their down-and-out-status, or perhaps because of it, you were inspired to join them. You left your old life behind to become the first recruit of the new Overwatch.

Now you and Tracer are travelling the globe, defending the people of the world from harm and searching for potential agents to rebuild Overwatch. The world needs heroes. Maybe you can be one of them.

Previously on Overwatch Quest:

The team succesfully defended the Watchpoint from Talon's assault forces. You distinguished yourself by taking out Reaper and his squad alone, and with style. The team was impressed by your personal exploits. Your defense strategy was good, if not perfect: the base took some damage from breach charges and exploding fuel tanks, but all agents emerged more or less unscathed.

Soon you were ready to head out on your next mission, which you had decided would be the first time the team split up. Tracer and Reinhardt would take the Aurora to Antarctica, to investigate a mysterious signal from an abandoned scientific outpost. Meanwhile, Mercy, McCree, and yourself would take civilian transport to Japan, to investigate Genji's disappearance and the plans of the Shimada clan.

Before Tracer leaves, you tell her ...

>This could be a Talon trap. Stay focused out there.
>This could be something valuable. Do what it takes.
>Good luck, Tracer.
>Good luck, Lena.

"This could be a Talon trap," you tell her. "Stay focused out there."

Tracer salutes you. "Yes sir, Mr. Seeker," she says in a mockingly serious voice. "Stay focused! Directive received."

"Don't do anything I wouldn't do," you say. "Wait. Okay, that's a bad measuring stick. Don't do anything a responsible Overwatch agent wouldn't do."

She grins. "I gotcha. Me and Rein won't take any risks we don't have to. No daring exploits."

"When we get back, my new suit will be ready. How about a race? You owe me a rematch from Kurjikstan."

"You're on, bucko. I'm up for a challenge anytime. I bet we could make a lap or two around this place interesting."

"All right, when we get back, then. Good luck out there, Lena."

You didn't really think about calling her "Lena." It just sort of happened. You see her blush a little. "A-all right, you too. You know, it's not fair you know my real name and I don't know yours."

"It's Logan," you say. "Named after Canada's most badass citizen: Wolverine." It's actually after your great-uncle on your father's side, but you prefer this version.

"Logan," she says, testing the name on her tongue. She grins. "It's kinda manly. I like it."

"Guess it suits me, then," you say, smiling back at her.

You readjust your clothes. It feels odd wearing a civilian outfit. Brigitte got one of the fabricators working, and it printed you out some basics. You're used to wearing your adventuring gear, though. That armor has been like a second skin throughout the years. Now it's packed away, and you're dressed like an ordinary citizen.

"I've never seen you in civvies before," Tracer says, looking you up and down. She takes a closer look at your face. "Hey, you're a handsome devil under that mask, ain'tcha? How come you wear that thing so much?"

Did you hear that right? Yeah, you did. She called you handsome. You feel your cheeks heating up and look away from her inquisitive gaze. "I-it's ... I mean, the heads-up display provides useful information when I'm working, a-and it protects my head. People seem to like punching me in the face."

"Why were you wearin' it around the base, though?" says Tracer, pursing her lips skeptically.

"I ... I just like to be mysterious, okay? I like the whole masked guy thing. "Who is that mysterious man behind the mask? Oh my gosh, he's so cool!" And besides ..." You mutter something inaudible.

Tracer leans in. "Wot was that?"

"I don't own any other clothes!" you say, louder than you intended. Tracer winces back. "Sorry. Just before the Dorado job, my base went up in smoke. I lost everything. Got out with my gear and nothing else." You had some currency in a reserve fund, but you don't mention for now that you've spent it on upgrades for the Watchpoint.

"Sorry to hear that, mate," she says. "Good thing we got the fabber up and running, then. Once you get back maybe I can give ya some fashion tips. After I kick your butt in the race, that is," she adds, winking.

"We'll see about that."

Getting into the Spanish airport is uneventful. Mercy's civilian identity of Dr. Angela Ziegler is still considered a respected physician, retired from a more exciting, if somewhat scandalous, occupation.

You and McCree are both wanted men, but fake identification papers and tricking cam scanners happen to be tricks of your trade.

"Thanks, pardner," he says after you finish getting through security. "Last time I took a trip someplace, I couldn't figger how to get a phony ID for a train. So I stowed away on top of it. Can't say it was the most comfortable ride I've ever had. Good thing I like a little fresh air, even if it is blowing past at 640 kilometers an hour." Something occurs to him. "How are you getting our gear through? Don't they have, you know, scanners and such?"

"I've done my fair share of smuggling," you say. "To the airport scanners, our luggage looks like perfectly ordinary tourist stuff. Don't worry, I've got this."

"Good to hear," he says. "We might share a former occupation, but my style was always a little more direct, if ya take my meaning."

You say to McCree ...

"Ever been to Japan?" you ask him.

"Well, there was this one time. Me and Gabe -- that's, er, Gabriel Reyes, you know, my old squad leader. We went over to Japan to help Genji sort out a few things. Things he wanted kept under the table, you know. Dealt with quiet-like."

You've heard the rumors before. That Reyes and McCree were part of something called "Blackwatch", a secret covert-ops team, dedicated to missions off the books. Sometimes a crisis would arise where Overwatch intervention would have political consequences, and yet mysteriously resolve itself, seemingly without action from Overwatch. Maybe you don't know him well enough to ask about that yet, though.

Instead you say, "What about his clan? The Shimadas?"

"Well, it's funny you should say that," he says. "The thing we helped Genji with was to take down his old clan. For a while there, he was totally dedicated to bringing 'em down. Said they were a "blight on his country" or somethin'. He called us in for the big finale, a real showdown. It went well. I thought we won.

"But from what I hear these days, the Shimadas are back, in a big way. Not sure how they dragged themselves back from the dead in such a short time. If the rumors are true, they can just about buy and sell half of Japan now."

"That sounds great," you say. "I've been to Japan a couple of times. Didn't have much of a chance for sight-seeing, but what I did see was incredible. Neo-Tokyo lit up at night was really something."

"Supposedly where we're going, they have groves of cherry trees engineered to bloom year-round," she says. "Ironic, considering they once represented a symbol of transience. But none the less beautiful for their immortality. I would love the chance to have a viewing party."

"Maybe we can do that while we're here," you say, trying to sound casual and not stammer. "Y-you know, if it doesn't interfere with the mission."

She smiles at you. "That sounds lovely."

"Great. For now," you say, turning to the in-flight datapad. "Why don't we check out the entertainment?"

You and Mercy watch some light-hearted comedies together. She has to ask you about a few of the jokes at first - German speakers tend towards blunt senses of humor. When she does start to get the humor, she tries to stay reserved, but soon starts to burst out in giggles. You pass the time for a while, listening to her laughter, enjoying this time of peace and respite from the chaos of the past few weeks.

There's something on your mind, though, and eventually you have to ask it. "About Genji," you say to her. "I heard that you were the one who -- who saved his life." You were about to say "turned him into a machine," but at the last moment decided to phrase it more politely.

She takes a moment to respond. "It's true," she says. "I performed the cyberization procedure. I had some help, but the responsibility was mine. I saw promise in the technique at the time. But its subjects tend towards ... psychological instability." She sighs. It's clearly a painful memory. "Genji was stable at first. But over time, he began to feel that the cost he had paid was too much. That he was more machine than man. He told me that--that I had--"

Was that a tear you saw, before she turned away?

"Hey, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked." You bite back your nervousness and reach out to put your hand on her shoulder. Underneath her fuzzy sweater you can feel her slim shoulder moving. She raises her glasses to wipe one of her eyes.

"We were once friends, or so I thought," she says. "But he didn't leave Overwatch on the best of terms, and he had some choice words for me in particular. It's still not a pleasant memory."

"Well, I think you did the right thing. Maybe he doesn't like what he's become, but maybe he'll appreciate what he can do. Even if he's not happy, you gave him a chance to be happy. He wouldn't have that chance without you."

Mercy turns back to you and smiles, her eyes still shining a little. "Thank you, Seeker."

"N-no problem," you say, withdrawing your hand.

She sighs. "If we do run into him, I don't know if he'll be happy to see me. Despite that, I'd love it if we could somehow convince him to join us."

You say, "My priority is ..."

"Both, I guess," you say. "We're going to take down the Shimada clan and bring Genji back with us. Maybe we can even do both at once."

"How would that even work?" Mercy asks you.

"I don't know," you say. "Just trying to be optimistic."

Your plane lands in the Tetsu urban district Neo-Kyoto. Nearby is the suburban neighborhood of Hanamura, where the Shimada clan resides in a historic castle.

You, McCree, and Mercy head out onto the neon-infused streets. You think about where to start your investigation.

You've never been here before, but from the number of machines, visible implants, and prosthetics you can see, this place is at the height of cyberware technology. You see people with brightly glowing hair, holographic clothing, elaborate limb replacements and cyberizations.
If Genji got into some kind of scrap, or needed repairs, you think. He'd have to go to a neighborhood like this. But he wouldn't go to a licensed shop. He'd find a back alley somewhere. The black market.

Soon enough, a certain alley suggests itself to you. It's got the feeling of what you're looking for.

At the front of the alley is a store selling metallic bits and pieces: nails, bolts, wires, small replacement parts for machines. An old model Omnic sits behind the counter, watching a holographic entertainment program. Perhaps you can ask it something.

I may be wrong on the lore and stuff here, but the way I see it, just up and asking about the Shimadas is probably going to have him clam up. Genji, on the other hand, is probably involved with some kind of attempt to stop the Shimadas, because I think that's where he's at right now. So if we find him, we find an in to stopping the Shimadas.

"Hey there," you say to the ancient omnic. It's boxy, battered, grey, a thick power cable running out its back into a recharge station. Its head swivels towards you. "You speak English?" you ask it.

"Of course," it replies in a flat, synthesized voice. "Omnics are equipped with all spoken human languages."

Right, of course, you think. Dealing with Bastion and his beeps and boops made you forget that most Omnics are actual computers. Smarter than most humans, even older models like this one.

"Let's say a young man like myself wanted a little edge," you say. "Something to make me faster, or stronger. I can find something like that around here, yeah?"

"Yes," it replies. "There are many services available for you humans to replace your flesh parts with superior metal. Just kidding. Hah. Hah."

You glance at your teammates. They shrug.

You turn back to the Omnic. You try to present to it a certain level of obvious guilt -- guilty enough not to be a cop, bot not so guilty that you're actually, for example, an outlaw vigilante about to attack a powerful crime syndicate. "Let's say maybe my name got put on a few lists somewhere, and they don't think I be trusted with that kind of tech. So maybe I need a little privacy for this. Would you happen to know someone I could talk to?"

The robot's optics blink on and off a few times. "Perhaps."

"Like ... maybe the guys who run things around here. They would have that kind of pull, right?"

"Indeed," says the robot. "But you might not like their price."

"Huh. What do you mean by that?"

"Loyalty," it says. "It has become very important to them."

"I see," you say, not seeing. "Well, maybe you've seen a friend of mine around here. He might know a guy to talk to. He's got a green visor, carries a pair of swords?"

"He was here," says the robot. "Now he is not."

Mercy cuts in. "He was here? W-what did he say? What was he doing?"

The robot points to a bin marked Spare Parts. "Maintenance."

(Continued)
>>
You try to get Genji's location out of the robot, but it stubbornly refuses. "Do not look for him," it says. "You will not like what you find."

Mercy takes the two of you aside. She says to you, "Let me try to convince him. If he knows how important Genji is to us, perhaps he'll relent."

McCree says, "I agree we should try to "convince" him. But I had a different method in mind." He taps the handle of his revolver. "Don't worry, I ain't gonna hurt him, just ... scare him a little."

>>
Come on, anons. Are you seriously going with the innocent person's approach over the experienced criminal's in this situation? What the fuck are you doing? We don't have time for Mercy to bat her eyelids at the omnic, we need to catch up to Genji. Now.

"Okay, Mercy," you say. "Try to talk him into it."

She walks back to the counter and starts talking to the robot.

McCree scratches his head. "You really think this'll work?"

"No idea," you say. "I figure it can't hurt to try the good cop approach first."

"Reckon that's so," he says.

Mercy returns surprisingly quickly. "That wasn't so hard," she said. "However, I regret to say that he was right. You won't like where Genji is."

McCree looks at her, puzzled. "What in tarnation--"

You say, "Wait, how did you--?"

Mercy beams, angelic. "Sometimes you just have to know the way to someone's heart."

"Oh, that's--"

"For example, I asked our friend back there what would happen if the Shimadas knew he sold repair parts to their outlawed heir, to whom all assistance is forbidden? I don't think they'd appreciate it, do you? Might go so far as to make an example of him for the other merchants in the district. That would be an awful shame, don't you think?"

You take a second look at Mercy's smile. It's not quite as angelic as it was a few moments ago.

"Okay, nice work. So where is he?"

Her smile fades. "Yes. Well. He's in Shimada castle. If we're lucky, he's a prisoner. If not ..." She doesn't finish the sentence.

Great. You just had to say it. Why couldn't we do both at once, you said, about the Shimadas and Genji. Looks like you'll get your wish.

How large is the range on our communicators? Any way we could get a call in from Tracer before we assault the castle, see how their trip is going? Or are we essentially both working blind to each other with the only contact being Winston and Torbs back at base?
>>
>>1076988
Right now, long-range communication is done by piggybacking on other signals. Possible, but only in certain windows for short periods, unless it's an emergency and you're willing to give up your location. You should be able to get in a short conversation with Tracer before attacking the castle.

>>
>>1077641
I'd guess that we'd need a way to acquire access keys and account statements before we can use Athena to spoof our way into their banking network. There's no telling how secure the Shimada family fortune is, let alone how many different banking institutes are holding their accounts. Truth be told, I'd guess that we'd need some serious hacking power and I don't think Athena has had that Hacking upgrade installed yet. Digital assets are a bitch to steal half the time; the other half they're easy to get because some idiot always has the password as "PASSWORD", or SWORDFISH.

>What could go wrong?
1) Athena may start desiring more than just knowledge. She may want to begin understanding what feelings and emotions are (damn you Alan Turing) and may start construction on the side for a 1:1 scale synthskin body that would give Genji's cyborg body a run for its money. Literally the Pinnochio scenario (or the EDI scenario for the Mass Effect fans).

2) Athena may take her programming directive of "PROTECT OVERWATCH" to the extreme, albeit slowly over the period of years, and may start setting up some sort of way to keep Overwatch and its aligned allies in a miniature Dyson Sphere (whether on Earth or in space or in some freaky ass pocket dimension using the rapid molecular fabrication assembly technology that is everywhere in the Overwatch-verse) and causing a simultaneous technological singularity to destroy the rest of the Earth that does not follow Overwatch's ideals.

3) Athena in her lust for knowledge and learning decides to slowly dissect and analyze what dormant bits of Anubis has been recovered from the Anubis Incident. Then she assimilates small bits and pieces of the God Program that she deems "safe" and slowly but surely Athena becomes more and more self-aware and learning more and more of what her existence and the existence of all robots mean in the Overwatch-verse. Cue the Second Omnic Crisis.
>>
>>1077760
Speaking of that first one, in the picture in OW's reveal trailer there is a robot body with Athena's symbol and the devs have talked about wanting to make her more involved

But Anon, there already is a Second Omnic Crisis afoot in Russia. The Omnium in Siberia just sprung to life one day in-game canon, and the Russians have been holding the line with those gigantic Svyatogor mechs ever since. It's the only reason why Zarya isn't trouncing the weightlifting records at the Summer Olympics, even--that 512 tattoo on her shoulder shows her personal best weightlifting record in kilos.

If anything, it would create a second front in this new Omnic Crisis--a front that would be far more extensive and damaging than just a single self-aware, self-producing factory in the middle of the Siberian wastes.

>>1078406

It's a morality/ethics question, really--that whole "does this unit have a soul?" argument that has been seen and seen again as long as scifi has been a thing.

I thought the Russian incursion was really just a holdover from the First Omnic Crisis.

It only becomes a problem if you say no. Acknowledge they have a soul and they deserve every right a human has and there won't be a problem

Mercy relays the story to you and McCree. According to rumor, a daring midnight raid was conducted on the Shimada castle, just a few nights ago. Connecting that to the robot proprieter's conversation with Genji, it seemed clear that the cyber-ninja was involved. He hasn't been seen or heard from since the attack. All you can do is hope that he's been taken prisoner rather than killed outright.

A mysterious archer is also connected to the attack-- not a stretch to imagine that might be Genji's elder brother Hanzo, who is said to have given up the sword. If you tracked him down, he might help you. Or he might already be working for the enemy.

There's also the matter of the Shimada clan's unexplained return to power. According to McCree, he helped Genji eradicate the criminal organization years ago. Where are they getting their funding and influence? Maybe if you investigated them, you might get a better idea of what you were walking into here, or even see a piece of the bigger puzzle.

Intelligence and a possibly ally are important, but maybe you shouldn't wait any longer, and just go straight to the castle. If Genji is alive, who knows for how long?

"What do you guys think we should do?" you ask Mercy and McCree.

"I think we should search for this archer," says Mercy. "It must be Genji's older brother, Hanzo. Genji told me his brother was consumed by guilt over their battle. He rejected his clan and home to live as a vagabond. Surely such a man could be convinced to repay his debt to his brother in a time of need? And we could use his assistance."

"Another gun's welcome," says McCree. "Or bow in this case, I guess. But I don't think we should be standin' around when there's work to be done. We should head for the castle straight away. Longer we hang around here without gettin' the job done, longer they have to find out we're comin' and get ready for us."

They both have a point. Huh. Well, at least that narrows it down a little. You think about it for a few moments, going back and forth on it. Sometimes deciding things is really hard.

It's surprisingly easy to track down Hanzo. Apparently a tattooed man in a kimono shouting "Sake!" as he tries to drown his guilt in rice liquor stands out a bit, even around here.

The problem is where you find him. Or rather, who you find him with. In a darkened alley, the sky fading to twilight, you find Hanzo the archer, surrounded by four goons in suits.

"We warned you, old man," one of the goons says, thumping his fist into his other hand. "The boss took mercy on you. He gave you a free ticket out of town, and you didn't take it. You had to hang around. Now you're gonna pay the price."

The goons stride forward, fists at the ready. You think about jumping to Hanzo's defense, but before you can react, he raises his bow and fires an arrow into one of the goons. He then switches grip on his bow and spins it around to clobber two of the goons in the face. The fourth goon stands there with a look of shock on his face. Hanzo gives him a grim smile and notches an arrow. The goon falls back onto his butt and scrambles away.

Hanzo lowers his bow and dusts off his shoulder. For a moment, you think he's sorted the entire thing out himself. Then you see something. Bright red laser sights, aimed at Hanzo's chest from high ground to your left

No time for introductions, you guess. "Hanzo, get down!" you shout. He probably won't do it, since he won't recognize your voice. So it's up to you. You jump to your feet and trigger your new Tesla-powered boots. Time for a field test!

Thankfully the boots work just as expected. They boost you forward with a slingshot of momentum that gives you a giddy feeling like a ride at a carnival. As you're boosted forward, your front half is surrounded by a hemspherical shield of blue, shimmered energy, tesselated in hexagons. The shield blocks the volley of bullets fired from the laser-sighted rifles at Hanzo.

You skid to a stop in a cool pose next to Hanzo.

"Who are you?" he asks you, puzzled, even as he notches an arrow to his bow and moves to cover.

You think of saying something about a dash-ing entrance, but decide maybe now's not the best time for it. "I'm the guy who's going to help you save Genji," you say instead, ducking behind cover. "That's what's important for now. Any ideas who these punks are?"

Hanzo stands from cover, looses an arrow, is rewarded with a yelp of pain. "These punks in suits are Shimada thugs. I don't know who's shooting at us, though!"

You poke your head out of cover. The people shooting at you are hidden in the shadowed windows of a nearby second floor. If only you were wearing your helmet, you could just zoom in on these guys and see who they were. At least your weapons and boots fit under your clothes.

You pull out the Gunblade, spin it into gun form, and unload a barrage. McCree strides forward into the alley, firing his powerful revolver.

The last enemy ducks down, but as Hanzo draws back an arrow, the dragon tattoo on his arm glows with a crackle of blue lightning. He looses, and the blue lightning flows into the arrow and sheathes it as it flies through the air. It strikes the back wall behind the window, then splits into a dozen scattered fragments that bounce in every direction. You hear the enemy inside go down.

"My arrow finds its mark," Hanzo says grimly, then turns to you. "As for you. I thank you for the assistance. Now ... would you care to explain yourself? Who are you, and how do you know about Genji?" Despite the rice wine you smell on his breath, he stares at you with the cold observation of a seasoned warrior.

McCree says, "Long story, partner. Name's McCree. This is Seeker, and this lovely lady behind us is Mercy. We'll explain everythin' on the way to Shimada castle, but the important thing is, we want to help you bust Genji out of there. That is, er ... assumin' he's alive."

"He is alive," Hanzo states emphatically. He thinks that over for a few moments. "I am not in a position to turn down help," he says. "I will do whatever it takes to save him." He reaches out to shake McCree's hand, then yours, with a firm grip.

Before leaving, you use your gravity boots to zip up the wall and over the window ledge, to investigate the shooters. They turn out to be soldiers in familiar red-lensed masks and dark combat gear.

"Talon operatives," you mutter, looking down at the bodies. "I should've known." Guess you found a clue regarding the Shimada clan's mysterious benefactors after all.

You hop back down, explain things to the others, then arrange to meet with Hanzo at the video arcade near Shimada castle after you've retrieved your gear. "It's usually empty these days," he tells you about the arcade. "We shouldn't attract too much attention."

Later, at the arcade. You and Mercy geared up in the back rooms, you in your adventuring gear, she in the Valkyrie suit. You emerge to find McCree seated at a game machine, playing a round of 16-Bit Hero, while Hanzo leans against the wall with his arms crossed. When they see that you two are ready, they join you to discuss the operation.

Hanzo tells you, "Just down the street is the front gate to the castle. It leads to the garden and shrine. Inside and to the right is the main courtyard, and beyond that, the castle keep. I am certain that's where they'll be keeping him. I suggest we come up with a plan."

Mercy and McCree look at each other.

"Jesse?" says Mercy, politely deferring.

McCree scratches his beard. "Planning was usually Gabe's end of the deal. I just went where he told me too, shot what he pointed me at."

Looks like it's up to you again.

"I think me and our new friend here should scout it out," you say, indicating Hanzo. "He knows the place, and I can back him up if he gets into a jam. McCree, when we give the signal, you knock on the front door real hard. Mercy, you follow him and make sure he doesn't get killed."

Hanzo nods. "I accept."

McCree says, "Sounds all right to me." He tips his hat to Mercy. "It'll be a pleasure to work with ya again, Doc."

Mercy smiles at him. "Ready to do some damage?"

"Yes ma'am." McCree takes out his revolver, opens the cylinder and checks the ammo, flips it closed. "Ready when you are, buckaroos," he says to you and Hanzo.

"Follow me," says Hanzo, slipping out the front door of the arcade. A full moon is rising in the night sky as you follow the archer through the narrow streets. He leads past a Rikimaru noodle stand and up to a massive wooden wall with a gate in the center. The gate is guarded by several sullen-looking Shimada goons in black suits, but there's a path through the shadows leading to a gap high up in the gate. A skilled climber might make it up there.

"Let's see if you can keep up," says Hanzo, and demonstrates just what you were thinking, using a climbing claw on his left hand to quickly and effortlessly scale the wall to the gap. He perches up there, looking down at you.

It takes you a bit more effort, scrambling up the wall with your grav boots, but you just barely grab the ledge and haul yourself up. "Piece of cake," you say.

"Hmmm," says Hanzo. Hard to tell if he's impressed. You get the feeling he has that sour look on his face a lot.

The two of you hop down from your elevated position just before a flashlight sweeps that position. You scale a nearby set of stairs to a platform and look down. To your right is the gate; in front of you is an open garden; to your left is a shrine with a huge bell hanging in the center. Beyond the garden, right in front of you, is the gate to the inner courtyard. Several suited thugs with flashlights are patrolling or standing guard.

You flick on your helmet's HUD and start examining the area.

Calling it there for "vulnerable" and "biggest threat". Writing.

First, you start looking around for something vulnerable to you. There's a giant bell in that shrine that's only held up by a thick rope. A few quick strikes from your blade should sever the rope and send the bell crashing to the ground, creating a noisy distraction for the guards at the gate and making them easy targets for McCree.

Before you do anything crazy, though, you've got to figure out what your biggest threat is around here. You watch the patrols of the guards for a few moments. They seem oddly confident. You recognize a certain behavior pattern -- when people are trying not to look at something. They're trying not to look up at the top of the castle keep, beyond the courtyard.

"The castle," you whisper to Hanzo. "Is there a place near the roof for a sniper?"

He nods.

"Damn," you mutter. You've got a bad feeling about that roof. If there is a sniper up there, they've got a line of sight on the garden, the courtyard, and the gate between them. "Is there another way to the shrine there?" you ask Hanzo, pointing at the bell.

"Behind us," he says, indicating a path. "It leads to the left-hand entrance."

"Get ready," you tell McCree over commlink. You and Hanzo slink back down the path, taking the long way around to avoid exposure, and end up at the side entrance to the shrine. There are two guards stationed here, smoking and talking with each other in Japanese. Hanzo easily dispatches one silently with an arrow. The second guard gawps as his friend suddenly grows an arrow, leaving him vulnerable to you sliding in behind him and cutting him down with your sword. You and Hanzo nod to each other, both thinking it's nice to work with someone efficient.

You watch the patrol movements. Judging the moment is right, you dash into the shrine, leap into the air with your sword held high, and bring it down and across the bell rope. You cut through about half of it. What the hell is this made of? you ask yourself, and try again. This time you finish the job. The bell crashes to the ground with a clang and a thud. The wooden floor splinters, and the bell is buried halfway, tilted askew.

The patrolling guards flinch in shock, but soon recover themselves. More come flooding in from the courtyard. A lot more than you expected, actually. They shout at each other, point guns in various directions. In the rear are Talon operatives, directing them with concise orders and hand signals. Several of the guards storm towards the shrine. Others go towards the front gate.

You fall back, hearing McCree's revolver open up. Some of the thugs by the gate start to drop. But others are taking cover and shooting back, filling the gateway with suppressing fire. "Gettin' pinned down here," says McCree. "I'm all right, but I ain't gettin' through that gate anytime soon, even with Mercy givin' me the boost here."

You could head out there to help them, but that would put in you line of sight of that rooftop--

"I'm going in with Hanzo," you tell McCree. "Keep them busy for as long as you can. If you get pushed, get out of there. Stay safe and meet up later."

"I gotcha. Be careful in there, pardner." You hear the revolver blasting away. "Come on out, ya yella-bellied boot-lickers. I got a bullet for each and every one of ya."

You and Hanzo take the cliffside path. To your left is a vast drop, and beyond it a view of Kyoto, lit up in neon at night. To your right are the the patrolling guards. The two of you quickly move past, avoiding them and the beams of light from their flashlights.

"Though here," says Hanzo quietly, leading you through a small stone gate. You use a wooden bench to step up onto a stone platform and move into the ground floor of a watchtower. Two Talon operatives are here, discussing their troop dispositions in voices muffled by their masks. You and Hanzo dispatch them simultaneously with blade and arrow, before they have a chance to shout or alert anyone.

Emerging from the watchtower, you hug the wall on your left as you move towards the front door to the keep. If there is a sniper up there (Widowmaker, you think, if Talon is here it has to be Widowmaker) you should be safe from this angle. You arrive at the front door without being fired on. Once you get inside, the sniper threat should be over ... for now.

Inside the door is the great hall of the keep.

"Genji will be kept in the room beyond the hall," says Hanzo. "It's a place for ... honored guests."

It's quiet inside. Maybe too quiet.

"It's clearly a trap," you say to Hanzo. "I can shield us, but stay on your toes. Take my IFF code." You send his gear a beam link. You're still not sure just how the eggheads managed to code energy shields to let friendly shots though, you just know that it works. Hanzo should be able to shoot through your shield now, while staying protected from enemy fire.

The two of you move inside. As you do, you keep on the lookout for anything that looks expensive. In fact, if you remember your Japanese history, this little piece of pottery here would fetch a high price. Art history is such a valuable subject for the aspiring thief, you think, quickly snagging the piece and tucking it into one of the pockets you keep for just such an occasion. When Hanzo isn't looking, of course. Despite his family rivalry, he still might not appreciate you casually selling his heritage.

A short bridge connects the entrance area to the main hall. You warily move out onto the bridge. The instant your foot steps off the bridge and onto the tatami mats, a Talon radio squawks orders, and Operatives emerge from hiding along the back wall and on the upper balconies.

Yikes. That's a lot of Talon soldiers.

"Hi, fellas," you tell them. "Why don't we talk about this?"

They respond by opening fire. You snap your magnetic shield up into place, and the bullets slam into the barely-visible force wall.

Hanzo strikes, his dragon tattoo glowing as he charges up a scatter arrow and fires it at the back wall. Blue splinters bounce through the enemy ranks, slicing through them. He calmly nocks another arrow, aims upwards at one of the high ground operatives, and dispatches him with one shot. Methodically, he shoots a second one, who falls from the balcony to the floor below.

"Out of time!" you tell him as your shield gives out. It deactivates, the bullets clattering to the ground, and you each take cover behind one of the large ornaments styled like paper lanterns on either side of the bridge. Bullets strike them on the other side. It's a good thing these are made of metal, and not actually giant paper lanterns.

You step out from behind the lantern and burn your Shield Dash, boosting yourself forward. Bullets flash and spark as they rebound off the force wall. For the first time, you're treated to the sight of your shield slamming into a Talon operative and knocking him headfirst into the nearby wall, a sight you find highly amusing. The others turn to deal with you, the laser sights of their rifles tracking towards you. With style and grace you weave from one to the other, dodging their shots, your sword leaving a blur of colored energy as it swings through each one. You can't resist adding a spin flourish to the last one, ending in a dramatic pose with the sword as the last Talon operative chokes and falls over behind you.

Hanzo has taken care of the shooters on the upper floors, and witnessed your skillful dispatch of the others. "You have some skill, then," he says, looking around at the bodies, then back at you, clearly impressed.

"You're not bad yourself," you tell him. "Now let's -- hold on. Did you hear that?"

Both of you duck into cover just in time. The air cracks as a bullet whips past you, just where your head was a moment ago.

"Widowmaker," you growl. The bullet came from the courtyard. She must have used that grappling hook of hers to descend from the roof outside. Part of you starts trying to think of spider-related puns. Something like "looks like you were caught in your own web." Or maybe --

Another sniper bullet cracks the air, and you decide maybe you'd better stay focused.
You and Hanzo are behind the big lanterns again, only on the other side this time, taking cover from the front door. You look across at him. "We'd better deal with her. I'll--"

The back wall bursts apart in a blast of energy. Two Talon operatives in full body armor stomp through the resulting hole. Each of them carries an energy-charged lance in their right hands. They raise their left forearms, equipped with heavy plating, and a shield of red energy forms.

You vaguely remember Tracer saying something about Talon operatives with shields. These must be what she meant. And they've got you dead to rights. If you leave the lanterns to find cover from them, you'll expose yourself to Widowmaker's fire.

What they don't know, though, is that your Ultimate capacitor has been charging this whole time. And it's finally ready. You can feel your left gauntlet buzzing with the contained energy.

We should do that.

Also, more concept art from Project Titan, showing a proto-character that resembles the original concept character that eventually turned into both Hanzo and Genji.
>>
To be clear, Widowmaker and the shield guys are on opposite sides of you. The shield users came from the rear of the hall, while Widowmaker is outside the front entrance in the courtyard. For her to "move behind her goons" she'd have to get past you.

"Hanzo, deal with these juggernaut guys for a bit, will you?"

"Do you think that's easy or something?" he asks you.

"Just hold them off for a moment--"

You step out from cover, raise your left arm, and fire. A mechanical anchor charged with violently swirling purple and black energy fires out from your gauntlet and impacts a tree next to Widowmaker. A violet gravity tether snaps out from the anchor and latches onto her. You can hear outside her swearing in French.

Hanzo's shoulder tattoo charges up with power. "ē«œćŒęˆ‘ćŒę•µć‚’å–°ć‚‰ć†!" he shouts, and looses an arrow, focusing all his power into it. A massive beam of energy shaped like two blue dragons spiralling around each other fires out, annihilating one of the Lancers.

The second Lancer steps forward, and you engage him in a duel of energy weapons. He's fast and powerful, and strikes several good solid blows, some of which penetrate your armor. But in the end you best him.

You clutch your wound, trying to ignore your pain. You'll see Mercy soon enough. Just got to hold on until then. "See if you can find Genji back there," you manage say to Hanzo. "I'm going to go deal with our sniper friend."

You head outside, hoping Widowmaker is still bound by the gravity tether when you get there.

You walk out into the courtyard, only to be blinded by a bright light turning on above you. You step back, eyes stinging, and switch filters on your helmet. A Talon dropship looms over the castle, spotlights pointed down to the courtyard. The dropship hovers low, opening its doors.

From behind you, inside the hall, you can hear gunshots. Hanzo retreats, wounded, combat rolling out of the way of a spray of bullets that punch holes in the shoji. "Seeker!" he shouts at you, firing an arrow back. "Genji is here, but they're taking him away! I need your assistance now!"

You turn back to the courtyard to see a grappling cable fly up from the ground and attach itself to the dropship. Widowmaker starts to reel herself up, and the ship begins to rise. She looks down at you with a smug smile on her face, and blows you a kiss.

No choice about this one. You aren't going to abandon Hanzo and Genji just to chase down Widowmaker.

"Adieu, ma petit fleur," she calls out to you, as she rises into the sky.

You do flip her the bird as you leave the courtyard.

Inside, you rush to Hanzo's aid. Both of you are wounded, but together you're able to blast through the last few Talon guards. They were hauling away Genji, bound with strong restraints, for who knows what sinister purpose.

The cyber-ninja is alive but heavily wounded. Damaged. Both, you suppose.
Hanzo quickly undoes the restraints. "Lean on me, brother," he says, pulling Genji up to a standing position and using his shoulders to brace him under one arm.

"Brother," gasps Genji, breathing heavily. "Y-you returned for me."

"Of course," snaps Hanzo, cross. "I couldn't abandon you after you rescued me from my own folly. Now stay quiet, and reserve your strength. We haven't escaped yet."

You can still hear gunshots from the front gate. McCree and Mercy must still be hanging in there, giving battle. You could stick around and help them mop up some extra enemy soldiers. Every Talon operative down here is one you might not have to deal with later.

You could also look around for some kind of computer terminal -- you had ideas earlier about perhaps hacking into the Shimada's accounts and transferring some money to Athena.

On the other hand, that Talon Lancer gave you a few pretty solid shots (HP: 130/200), and as long as you escape with Genji in one piece, the mission is complete. Maybe you should get out of here before anything else goes wrong.

As much as you like money, it's probably a better idea to just get out of here and keep Genji safe. You turn on your comm link to McCree. "Fall back, guys. We've got the principle, and we're blowing this joint."

Together, you and Hanzo are able to help the injured Genji climb the outer wall nearby. Any guards who might have patrolled the top of the wall have been called away to the front gate. The three of you escape the compound and slip into the shadows of the Hanamura district.

Later ...

While your teammates and the Shimada brothers hide out in a no-questions-asked hotel, and Mercy tries her best to heal Genji, you take advantage of one of your limited communication windows and go to contact Tracer. Athena has some kind of function to scramble your comms and piggyback them in bits and pieces on other signals. So it's not exactly reliable, but it's secure for now. Until Winston gets that satellite in the air, it's better than nothing.

You sit down at a public communcations booth and punch in the number Athena gave you. A few moments later, Tracer's voice comes online, distorted by interference. "Seeker, is that you, luv?"

"Yeah, it's me. How you doing, Tracer?"

"Good! Me and Reinhardt had an interesting time of it down in Ecopoint Antarcticer. You won't believe what we found!"

"Santa? No, wait, that's the north pole. A huge snow monster?" you guess, thinking of old movies you've seen. "A shapeshifting alien? Someone alive in cryo-stasis alive for decades?"

There's silence for a few moments on the other end of the line. "Tracer? Still there?"

"What did -- how did you -- I don't --"

"Wait, was that last one right? There really was someone alive in cryo-stasis for decades?"

"If I find you're pulling my leg on this one, Seeker--"

"I swear, I just guessed at random! That's nuts. Who is it?"

"She's a climate scientist," says Tracer. "Calls herself Mei-Ling Zhou. Worked for Overwatch before the storm hit."

"Great. You can tell me the whole story later. You're still in the air, right?"

"Affirm."

"Can you divert course to Japan? I've got a certain cybernetic ninja here who needs clandestine transport back to Gibraltar ..."

Any Ai would need a reason to act out like they did; the two options are either self preservation or hate.
If they thought that they were going to wiped out by humans they would had fought to defend themselves and could have decided that the only way to survival was to eliminate all humans. As for the other possibility; Nothing is born to hate. Hate is learned and taught, while this should not forgive them for what they did, it dose give us understanding as to why they did it and how to avoid it in the future.

Tracer swings by in the Aurora to pick up Mercy, Genji, and Hanzo. You and McCree take civilian transport back to Spain. Hopefully soon you can afford one of those Orca aircraft, and you won't have to be dealing with these logistical problems.

---

Some time later, everyone has returned to the Watchpoint.

Tracer tells you the story of how she and Reinhardt found the snow-entombed Ecopoint Antarctica had been partially uncovered by severe winds. They explored the base, still half-buried in snow and ice, and found a set of occupied cryo-sleep chambers. Sadly, the base had been too heavily damaged in the initial storm, and all but one of the chambers had malfunctioned.

The sole survivor is a woman named Mei-Ling Zhou. You introduce yourself to her briefly. She makes an effort to smile and greet you politely. She's physically fine, despite the years in stasis, but you can tell the trauma of the event is weighing heavily on her. What would it be like, you wonder, to bunker down for an ice storm with your fellow scientists, only to reawaken over a decade later, the only survivor? Overwatch disbanded, Omnics resurgent, the world in chaos ... the whole thing must be an incredible shock. You'll try talking to her again later.

Genji, on the other hand, is physically battered but mentally fit. You go to see him in Mercy's medbay, which is starting to look like a real medical facility as that equipment you ordered begins to arrive. Mercy and Genji are having a quiet conversation. Hanzo is sitting on a stool in the corner, his arms folded.

When he sees you arrive, Genji pushes himself up into a seated position. "Greetings. You must be Seeker. I understand I have you to thank for my daring rescue."

To Genji:

>Yeah, I am pretty daring.
>Your brother was the one who saved you. I helped a little, that's all.
>How do you feel?
>What did Talon want with you?

To Mercy:

>How is Genji doing?
>How is Hanzo doing?
>Thanks for your help out there.
>>
>>1083467
>Your brother was the one who saved you. I helped a little, that's all.

>>1083467
>>Yeah, I am pretty daring.
>How do you feel?
Mercy
>Thanks for your help out there.

Genji:

Neither am I but I'm pretty sure they don't really say why it happened just that it did happen. It's not really a story focused game after all. I was going off AI characters like Ultron.

"Your brother was the one who saved you," you say to Genji. "He was driven. I just helped out a little. How do you feel?"

"Not good," he admits. "Talon is experienced in the ways of delivering pain, even to a body such as mine. But I am recovering."

"Good to hear," you say. You look at Mercy. "How is he, doc? Can you patch him up?"

"I'm cautiously optimistic," she says.

"You've fixed me many times before," says Genji. "I have faith you can do it again."

You look at Hanzo sitting in the corner. "What about him? Is he all right? He isn't saying much."

Genji laughs. "My brother is asleep. But even when awake, he doesn't say much."

Mercy says, "He stayed up all night, watching over Genji. I told him he should at least sit down for a few minutes. I believe he was exhausted after several sleepless nights."

"Guess the guy deserves a break," you say. "All right, I'll let you get back to your doctoring, Mercy. Nice to meet you, Genji."

"ćÆć˜ć‚ć¾ć—ć¦," he replies.

I'm not trying to apologize; I'm trying to understand them. Understand the reason behind a action and you can either avoid or provoke a action and when your dealing with a sentient creature it's actions can range from petty such as >>1083452 points out or too reasonable such as self preservation.
>>1083545
And i personal i'm thinking more on the lines of the Loa from SotS.

>>1083581
There is no reason behind the god-minds. Blizzard did not write a reason. there is nothing to understand. Don't argue for what you cant argue for.
>>
>>1083597
Well if Blizzard dose not come up with a reason that leave's room for us to make one up; they had to have a reason behind acting even if it's as basic as "I thought it would be funny".
>>
>>1083581
Well, we don't know until blizzard gives more lore, so we have to just go with what they said so far, but with a grain of salt.
>>
>>1083597
Would it be too much to say or speculate a reason /for/ god minds to begin with? I could either see Megacorps using them as research drones for preforming new experiments or there was some super dark secret that involved our replicator tech here that requires super powereful AI to properly use.

Only other things that I can think of that would require a need for AI that smart might be logistics to handle factories or something along the lines of trying to figure out some highly theoritcal type problems like trying to make unlimited energy or harnesing dark matter. Hell maybe even figuring out how to use time as a power source since Tracer is proof we can fuck with time in this universe.

Reports hit the news of a battle in the Hanamura district of Kyoto, at the ancestral castle of the Shimada clan. Pictures of Mercy and McCree in action against Shimada goons have hit the web. Much like the incident in Kurjikstan, some believe it all to be a hoax, some debate its true meaning. Others curse the name of Overwatch, viewing them as a symbol of government corruption and overreach. However, there are many who have been trodden under the boot of the Shimada's criminal syndicate, and rejoice in what they see as heroes striking down villains.

Asia reputation improved (+1)

Athena contacts you. She tells that many people, thrilled at the return of the heroes of Overwatch, have been trying to contact the organization. Much of it is simply fan mail and statements of support, but there are some -- especially those saved by your intervention in Kurjikstan and Japan -- who are trying to support the cause materially. Athena reveals that she has already set up several dummy corporations and charities to collect monetary donations, which she will feed into the organization's primary funds.

"Do these people realize they're donating to the actual, literal Overwatch?"

"Most of them? No," says Athena. "They believe they are donating to pro-Overwatch protest groups, community outreach initiatives, and so on. A minority of donors know the truth."

"So we're going to take money from people who think they're supporting Overwatch ..." you say. "And use the money to ... actually support Overwatch."

"Correct."

"So for now, Overwatch is crowd-funded." You take a moment to digest that. "I guess that's better than nothing."

You coordinate with Athena to order a series of programs and functions, the "Darknet Analysis" pack. It will allow her to scan through the darknet, a second internet beneath the public world web. Messages sent through it can only be accessed with software specific to the group of people intended to receive the message. But with Athena's ability to sort through vast amounts of information in microseconds, and this new analysis function, she can break through those encryptions and monitor these communications. This should give her the ability to predict some actions by rogue groups like Talon before they occur.

You also order an Orca transport for the team. This should help with your logistics situation. Tracer's still the only pilot around here, though, as far as you know. Maybe you should get her to teach you how to fly. That would let you spend some time together, maybe a chance to get to know each other better ... of course, if you were the only two pilots, you'd also be splitting up on missions. And you like working with Tracer. What to do? Maybe you can teach Athena to fly the Orca ...

Also, you think a training room would be good. Everyone could use a chance to hone their skills, and practice their teammwork. This new girl, Mei-Ling, she isn't even a fighter, she's a climate scientist. She could definitely use the practice if she's going to be on the team.
>>
>>1083937
Yeah, we should get another pilot, perhaps put that as a staff option.

You take a quick tour of the base, first trying to figure out how the Orca is going to fit into the hangar along with the Aurora. Then you head out to the radar array, which also has your base's first anti-aircraft gun, a big badass-looking set of cannons angled towards the sky, sticking out of an armored shield.

Here you find Torbjorn the engineer, his welding helmet down, supervising the final riveting of the AA gun by the construction drones. "Ach! You bucket of bolts, that's not how you do it! That one goes on top, see?" The drone beeps apologetically.

Torbjorn sees you approach, steps down from the gun platform and raises his mask. "So. Yer Seeker, is it? Guess we haven't had a chance to talk since all that business in Kurjikstan. Torbjorn Lindholm, engineer, at yer service." He holds out his right hand, clad in a thick leather glove, to shake. "Thanks fer gettin' me out of that Titan in one piece."

"You're welcome," you say, shaking his hand. "I just did what anyone would." You withdraw your hand, black machine grease on your glove. Oh well. "What happened back there, anyway? The mech was piloted by a dead man? How did that make sense?"

"Been tryin' to figure that meself," says Torbjorn. "I forget if I told you this at the time, but that dead fella in the cockpit was an old coworker of mine, Sven. I definitely saw his handiwork in the upgrades on those defense drones we fought. I looked inta what records I could pull from the military base the Titan mech came from. I'll wager that what happened is this. Sven stole the mech, intendin' to use it on some grand scheme, drive up public terror and cash in on some war profiteerin' nonsense. Then, someone -- or something, if you take my meaning -- hacked into the mech while he was inside. Triggered that poison gas. Killed him. Then took control of the mech."

"Why would they do that, though?" you wonder. "Unless ..."

"Unless it were a trap," he says. "They thought maybe they could catch two birds in one bush. Fortunately, an upstart little rascal who thinks he's an Overwatch agent just happened to be comin' by."

"Er ... look, To-- Mr. Lindholm, I don't--"

"Relax, kid," he says, chuckling. "That's my version of a compliment. You seem to be doin' just fine fer yerself. I mean, look at this!" he says, gesturing towards the AA gun. "Ye've bought a damn big gun for the base! That and savin' me life. Ye know how to make a decent first impression, young 'un. Now!" he announces, turning back towards the gun. "Time for a live-fire test! Let's hear those guns!"

You leave Torbjorn to his cannons, confident the base defenses are in good hands, or at least enthusiastic ones. Asking him about Bastion is probably a conversation for another time.
>>
Something, Torbjorn said. Something indeed.
The incident has troubled you. Not just for the ominous red orbs on a black screen that appeared, just before the poison gas leaked into the Titan's cockpit. But the fact that all the other machine beings in the area -- omnics and drones alike -- had become corrupted, either exploding or going berserk, only minutes before it happened. You looked into it, and the Titan mech wasn't equipped with any offensive electronic countermeasures like that. So what could have corrupted those robots and sent them haywire?

You remember the incident in the news a few weeks ago. Helix Security called into Egypt. Omnic corruption. A god-mind breaking containment. Authorities claiming there were no breaches, that the web was secure.

You take out your datapad. "Athena," you say. "You've been monitoring the web for any traces of Anubis, right? Status?"

"I'm afraid I have some unpleasant news on that subject, Seeker."

You sigh. "Somehow, I knew you were going to say that."

"As I'm sure you suspected," says Athena. "U.N. authorities were either lying or incorrect in their assessment of secure containment. I have detected that Anubis used a sophisticated distribution attack to upload tiny fragments of his programming across the global internet. They could be hiding anywhere -- corporate mainframes, entertainment servers, even internet message boards." Athena shows you a global map with colored lines representing worldwide internet connections.

"The fragments have instructions to gradually re-assemble themselves, gathering intelligence and computing resources into one entity." The internet lines show red highlights gradually coalescing into a glowing red orb.

"If Anubis reassembles itself outside of containment, in the freedom of the web ..." The red glow expands to cover the entire world.

Yikes.

"Okay," you say, trying to process this. "What kind of timeline are we looking at? How fragmented is it?"

"Fragmentation state: High. Projected timeline: Unknown."

Damn. This just got a lot more complicated.

ANUBIS FRAGMENTATION: 90%
>>
>>1084177
Call Pharah, regardless of the consequences. Let her know what's happening.
>>
>>1084180
She likely already might know but I support this. Ana and 76 are in the middle east as well.
>>
>>1084177
Oh crap! This is some Xcom shit!
>>
>>1084177
>>1084180

Man, call fucking everybody. This is catastrophic.

On another note, why exactly are the Omnics in Russia on a warpath?
>>
Now anons, which of us is ANUBIS?
>>
>>1084177
Ask Athena to write up a report documenting her evidence and send it to the relevant authorities anonymously. Including Pharah. Especially Pharah.
I mean, can you imagine if she finds out that we knew and didn't tell her? Shit.
>>
>>1084180
I'm going to call it there for tonight, but this sounds like a good way to start our next thread.

Thanks for playing, everyone.
>>
>>1084199
Raven is ANUBIS
JapMOOT is ANUBIS
anon is ANUBIS
>>
Do we have a way to contact 76? He might want to know about this. In fact, something tells me that he might be willing to cooperate with us on a global threat like this.
>>
>>1084203
see you later raven, this is one hell of a bombshell you just dropped.
>>
>>1084208
That right there is a good idea. First order of business is roping in Jack.

>>1084203
Thanks for running, Anubis.
>>
I'll be around for a bit longer, ask me stuff or hit me with feedback.

>>1084207
>>1084215
It's true, this is all a booty call to my true waifu, Athena.

>>1084208
You can probably get a message to him once that communication satellite is in the air.
>>
>>1084223
Then we need to get that satellite up ASAP
>>
>>1084199
Oh uh Anubis might be among us i will be sure to keep a eye out for him
>>
>>1084223
How much damage did we do to Anubis by taking out the robot in Kurjikstan?
>>
>>1084223
so given that Seeker has predicted a lot of events right to a few members of overwatch has their been talk about his predictions
>>
>>1084237
But who will Watch the Watchmen?

>>1084253
What has Seeker predicted other than this?
>>
>>1084252
You destroyed one of the fragments, but he doesn't need all of them. The mech attack itself was just an opportunity, Sven was already doing it on his own.

>>1084253
If you mean meta-knowledge jokes like guessing Mei was in the cyro chamber, that's just some harmless fun for us. For in-character stuff, it's a combination of Athena's guidance and you being in the right place at the right time.
>>
>>1084265
ok then
>>
>>1084260
If i had to guess Anubis.
>>
>>1084260
>What has Seeker predicted other than this?
what he would have to do to get Genji

the Mei thing (more of a joke really)

Anubis
>>
Crowdfunding is cool and poetic, but as our operations will grow, it is going to become insufficient. What other sources could we get? UN is off the table now, and petitioning individual governments or for instance churches, nevermind corporations, could draw us into political conflicts between those factions.

Regardless, we should work on getting back on the good side of the law. It might take time, but eventually the bureaucracy and politics will catch up with us, and they can be less subtle than Talon was during their visit.

Also, should we work on establishing a new, secret base of operations? Maybe a mobile one like a big submersible. Gibraltar might not be public knowledge, but all relevant parties will know about it. And maybe a network of safehouses?
>>
50 bucks says that a fragment of Anubis is running talon. In fact it is probably a more intact fork of Anubis made to fuck over Overwatch. Most likely made when Overwatch was first founded.
>>
>>1084300

It'll take some work with snow shovels to get up and running, but there is a base in Antarctica no-one knows about yet. A submarine or airship base, or more operational Watchpoints, might be a possibility as well.
>>
>>1084300
this is why I said we need Athena to be able to hack she can help us rob criminal groups like talon
>>
Two things:
1.) We need to upgrade the medbay because at no point have we gone on a mission and not had an injured legend.
2.) We need to do jobs like protection for anti-talon/megacorp politicians <push that cart>
>>
>>1084177
God dammit. Feels like XCOM now with a variant of Scenario 3 from >>1077760

If Athena decides to dissect and analyze any bits and pieces of the fragments we'll be in a world of hurt.
>>
>>1084535
Depends on how corrosive Anubis fragments are; Reinhardt did call Athena a god mind a couple of missions back so she might be immune.
>>
>>1084554
I wouldn't say corrosive.

More like how subversive the shift in Athena's subroutines might drift.
>>
What are the other god minds called?
>>
>>1084829
Probably some of the more benevolent gods of history. I doubt anyone was dumb enough to name an AI after Lucifer or Angra Mainyu
>>
>>1085009
There names might tell us what they where originally made for, Athena is the goddess of wisdom and she seems to be be a research AI, so assuming that they named the other God Minds on what they were supposed to do we might be able to figure out how Anubis might act or his methods of attack.
That's assuming the God minds did not just pick random names to call themselves so i was wondering if the other minds had names similar to that or formed some kind of structure.
>>
>>1085134
Anubis is originally a pretty neutral god. He just measure's your worth as a man compared to the feather of truth and sends you onto your afterlife. Unless Super AI's fall for preconceived notions on ancient deities.
>>
>>1085458
Or he was tasked to work in the judicial system, maybe in a attempt to come up with a formula on how to determine guilt or gathering evidence on case's, if that's the case then i think he would act either though criminal proxy's or use them as cover; he also might make it a priority to target people he see's as criminals such as with Sven and Torbjorn. Finally he would be the most familiar with government systems or people who work in it such as lawyers or police so he may be hiding a majority of his shards there.
>>
So we have a Doom Ticker now? Excellent--should give our actions a little bit more urgency, hopefully. Let's try talking to Mei next thread--try to get a feel for what happened down at Antarctica before the bad weather hit.

It would be unwise to have some of these "safer" fragments analyzed and isolated by Athena, though--that right there is the path to Rampancy. We should make stalling or outright halting these defragmentation efforts a priority, aside from building our team and our base.

Also, we should at some point get some Base Security goons to work with--flesh and blood security guards rather than drones, because selective machine paranoia is a good thing and totally gives us a pool of characters to pull more OC heroes from if we ever get that notion in our head to give these redshirts personalities, because having twenty-plus fleshed out canon heroes isn't enough for our fanboy asses.
>>
>>1085134
Wrong, according to what little source material available.... aahhh fuck it I'll just copy and paste this shit. The origins of the Omnic Crisis lie with the Omnica Corporation, and the omniums they had created.[4] The omniums and their robot populations had been created to bolster manufacturing and create economic equality worldwide.[3] However, when Omnica was shut down after evidence of fraud, the omniums were shut down. It therefore came as such a surprise when these defunct, dismantled omniums woke themselves back up and immediately launched a military campaign against all of humanity,[4] churning out legions of militarized robots.[3] The omnics also hijacked pre-existing technology such as the Titan walker, and converted it into a weapon of war.[5] The world reeled at the appearance of this new enemy, as the omnics waged a war to overthrow the human race.[3]

Is Mei fat or does she just have a really thick jacket? I can't tell.
>>
>>1086978
Thick jacket, but fetishism had to get involved
>>
>>1086978
Her figure is pretty average, but compared to the likes of tracer, widow and mercy, she seems to be thick.
