Previously on Overwatch Quest:

You and Tracer travelled to the badlands of Route 66 in the New West, searching for a certain outlaw. McCree wasn't that hard to find, but your recruitment pitch was interrupted when his old crew, the Deadlock Rebels, brought down a U.S. army train almost right on your heads. The three of you defended an ominous-looking device from Rebels and a mech, and you returned to the Watchpoint with both McCree and the device.

Holy shit where do you live man, it's past midnight.
Also yay, you're not dead.

Question from the last thread
What does everyone think of us?

>>1022312
I betcha we need to ask everyone to get to know that.

>>1022300
>>1022302

I am a vampire.

Really though, not sure how late I'm going to run, but at least now we have a new thread.

>>1022312
>>1022315

You feel like you and Tracer are developing a friendship, and Reinhardt said he was impressed with your boldness in your battle together.

You will indeed have to ask or observe them to find out more.

You rise early, despite stiffness from yesterday's exertion. The crew quarters is still almost empty. Mercy prefers the privacy of a cot in the medbay, Brigitte and Reinhardt claim to be used to sleeping next to the heat of the portable forge, and McCree said something about sleeping under the stars. So it's still just you and Tracer in the dormitory. You don't wake her up, but you steal a look at her sleeping face as you pass. She snores quietly. It's cute to see her so unguarded.

You watch the news on your pad as you eat breakfast, now featuring actual coffee from the grocery drone.

Last night there was some kind of major incident in Egypt. Helix Security was called in, a private army of badasses you've had more than one run-in with yourself. Authorities are denying any breaches, claiming that god-program "Anubis" is still safely imprisoned in its containment facility.

"Athena, what do you know about this?"

"I can confirm a Helix Security team at the Temple of Anubis," she says. "And violence between them and drones. Anubis could perhaps have hacked them using short-range proxies without a major containment breach."

"If Anubis did breach containment, get a part of itself loose on the web. Would you know?"

"Uncertain."

"That's not the confident yes I was hoping to hear. Keep tabs that for me, will you?"

"Understood, Seeker."

Afterwards, you go to the ...

We should probably go talk to Winston about this Anubis thing.

>>1022327

Maybe we should also bring a twig or maybe get a skylight installed for him and his bird. That way the birds can get in and out and Bastion can feel rain and sun/moonlight. Just make sure its that unbreakable shit so we can close it at night and avoid infiltrators.

Yeah, I would've expected seeing the medic is the first thing you do after returning from mission with an injury.

Mercy did most of the work you need on that steam burn yesterday. She told you to check in again tomorrow morning, but you'll take care of that after you check in on your robot pal.

You head over to the server room, wondering if there's some way you can install a skylight. When you see the several thousand tons of rock overtop, you decide probably not. At least the doorway is wide open, so Bastion's bird can get in and out. You can hear it somewhere out there now, tweeting away merrily.

Inside the room, Bastion is standing in the exact place you left him, as if no time has passed. When he sees you, he beeps a few times and waves to you.

"Hey, Bastion. Hope you're holding up all right. I wonder if you get bored?"

>Ask him some serious questions.
>Talk to him, about nothing in particular.
>Take him for a walk.

sUPPORTING

"I bet you're feeling cooped up in here. Why don't I take you on a walk? I can give you a tour of the base."

Bastion beeps affirmitively.

"All right, let me just put this scan on hold for the moment--" The diagnostic results are still inconclusive, you note as you pause it. "Disconnect all these cables ... and ... okay, we're good. Let's go."

You take Bastion around the base, thinking about how Tracer did something similar for you when you first arrived here. He clatters after you obedientely with rhythmic steps, swiveling its head around, taking it all in with his cycloptic eye.

You bring him down through the dip past Brigitte's forge, show him the communications array and the entrance to Winston's lab. The bird returns with another twig for the nest on Bastion's shoulder, then perches there while you return to the hangar. "That's the Aurora," you say. "Remember you came here on that?" The Bastion beeps in agreement.

You think about how strange this thing is, this being. How does a combat robot, built to protect humans and rewritten by a vengeful AI, somehow end up as this tabula rasa?

"All right, we better get you back," you say. "I'm sure Winston wants those scans done asap."

Returning to the server room, you say, "Maybe I can get you a kid pad. It's a data pad but only loaded with a bunch of educational programs. It can teach you the alphabet and stuff. Most important, no link to the outside, so no-one gets mad at me for handing a net link to an anomalous omnic. You can learn to read, how to count, what sound a cow makes ... great stuff."

Bastion beeps in agreement.

You get him plugged back into the computers, restart the scan, and head to the medbay.

As you approach the medbay, you see a glow of yellow light. Entering, you see Mercy is wearing her famous Valkyrie swift-response suit, the pinnacle of battlefield medic technology.

"Hello, Seeker," she says. "Thank you for coming."

"Hey, doc. I see you got the Valkyrie up and running."

"Yes, this old thing took some tuning up after so long in storage. But I finished the process just this morning. It still fits!" she adds, demonstrating. It does, indeed, fit very well.

"With this," she says. "I'll be able to get back out into the field. I imagine I'll be a little rusty, but I'll still be able to keep you safe out there. Now, are you ready for your follow-up visit?"

"Sure. I think you fixed me up pretty good yesterday, but if you want to take another look at it, that's okay with me."

"It's good for a doctor to check in on her patient's condition. If you'll sit there, please?"

She hums pleasantly to herself as she prepares, then begins to examine the mostly-healed remnants of your burn wound, calm and focused. Once again you find your body under the close scrutiny of an intensely beautiful woman. To distract yourself, you say to her ...

Please rename that jpg filename good sir, as that is Shedder and not Darth Maul.

"What do you think about all this?" you ask her. "This "new Overwatch" thing."

"It's ... a bold idea, for certain. One might say reckless, or foolhardy. I might also say noble, or heroic. Or something worth giving your life to." She continues her examination. "I spent many years with the first Overwatch. I argued many times with Jack and the others over our purpose, our true goals. Perhaps now we can be what I always hoped."

"And what is that?" you ask.

"A force for protection and healing," she says. "Nothing more. I understand that sometimes protection must be ... proactive. But that can be taken too far. I didn't agree with the weaponizing of biotic technology, or with some of the measures the others were willing to take to achieve their ends. I did my best to prevent us from going down that road. Somehow we were all able to find a balance." She stands back. "The biotics have done their work. You're in quite good health, Seeker, I'm pleased to say."

"Good to hear," you say, pulling your shirt back down. "This is all a pretty big legacy to live up to. How am I doing so far?"

"It's yet early days," she says. "But you've certainly made efficient use of your time. Lena tells me you'd barely settled in before you came to Switzerland to meet me? And then before the week was out, you'd battled omnics with Reinhardt in Germany, recruited a tame Omnic, and fought mechanized outlaws in America with McCree. Quite the whirlwind beginning to your Overwatch career. Keep it up, and perhaps someday you'll have your own action figure." She winks at you, and you recall your awkward first meeting.

"Right, er, thanks."

"Now if I recall, the others wanted to speak to you? Brigitte said something about finding blueprints, and Winston has been up all night in the lab. I think they're both excited to have new opportunities to work."

"All right, I'll see what they have in mind. Thanks for the check-up ..."

So we know that the events of the comics and the shorts have happened or are happening as this quest goes along. We also know that, as the quest has shown, Fareeha's still head of her squad at Helix Security and it can be assumed that McCree's comic was finished a fucklong time ago.

It can be assumed, then, that
>Ana, 76, and Reaper could all be operating in Egypt at this time, as per their comic
>Mei is still frozen in Antarctica
>Torbjorn is still derping about in Sweden with his wife and eighty-seven children
>Genji and Hanzo are off derping about in Japan
>D.va and Lucio are off derping anywhere in the world because celebrities
>Zarya is fending off the Second Omnic Crisis in Siberia
>Sombra is working with Team Talon, as of now
>Zenyatta is derping about the world because tranquility
>Genji and Hanzo are derping about in Japan
>The Junkers are too busy telling the Immortan to go shove it down in Straya to care about much else

Plenty of trekking to do, plenty of characters to get. I'd suggest we pick up Torbjorn next for his technical expertise, then maybe Jack, Ana, and Fareeha if they become available--if not, let's grab Mei. Everyone else, sad to say, can wait--though a second tank character would go very nice toward rounding out our roster.

While we ruminate on our choices, I'll leave you all with this bit of concept art of the game that was reshaped into Overwatch--Project Titan.

Lucio and Symmetra are probably in Brazil. Don't forget, Lucio is a rebel fighting against Vishkar and Symmetra is basically a Corporate Shadowrunner.

>>1022627
We know that a couple of weeks ago, about a week before our MC showed up in mexico in the first thread, the junkers hit a bank there and made off with money and gold.

>>1022627
>>1022642
We have enough guys that we can split up.

Kinda hoping for a news report on the Canadian Elections.

Mercy Romance: Seeker gets moderately injured. Mercy treats him but he still needs to come in for regular check ups. Sexual tension ratchets up until one day they just start making out in the middle of a checkup. Or she grabs Seeker's dick and says "Oh dear, it appears there's some swelling I need to inspect."

Raven please save this fucking thread. I feel guilty for contributing to the waifu wars.

>>1022816
You knew this was coming the moment you saw it was an Overwatch quest. It was called in the very first thread that this quest would have waifushitting like you wouldn't believe.

>>1022816
Should I share the Roadhog Romance write-up?

>>1022822
And I foolishly thought that the threads would be in agreement or at least the split would be between tracer and zarya.
>>1022824
I'm not eager to reach maximum shit so soon.

>>1022836
You've brought this upon all of us, you monster.

(Honestly, at this point, I'm totally ok with MC being single and not hooking up with anyone, just to shut up the waifu dudes.)

I do hope people who want to bully the mechwarrior only mean friendly teasing... preferably beginning after we establish good relations.

>>1022847
Eh it gives us something to talk about; You can only talk about strategy for so many hours before it gets dull.

>>1022847
Well we've managed to keep our dick in our pants so far so maybe that will be the case.

Did we ever decide if our gun was a mass driver or a plasma pistol?

>>1022858
>>1022859
Or you could just not post and wait for Raven to get back. Not waste this entire thread spamming waifu bullshit. That's a suggestion.

>>1022856
Of course, the goal is a sort of brotger/sister rivalry thing
We may mess with each other, but we still care about and look out for her

>>1022879
*brother

>>1022872
no actually we have not
i think a mass driver/railgun would fit the magnet theme. but a energy gun would be a simpler design

>>1022961
Plasma would also fit as plasma needs to be stored in a magnetic field. Plus, our sword is a plasma blade.

>>1022979
plasma railgun
mmm... i want

If I might chime in, I would point out that a rail or coil gun would be best. Since they would penetrate stuff.

>>1022990
>>1022993

I can abide a railgun Magnum. A magnetic hand cannon. It would have to be weaker than McCree's gun but it has Armor Piercing capabilities.

>>1023015
You have just gave me an idea for a passive;

"Piercing ammunition - Shot has a (10%?) chance to bypass shields and armour. Doing damage to target health."

Or alternatively

"Cracker shots - Ammo has a (10%?) of doing double damage to shields and armour. No damage from shot carries over to health."


This allows the carrier to much more effectively fight people with armour or shields galore like Reinhardt, zenyatta or such. Though I admit balancing these would be very hard without making the chance tiny.

>>1023015
>>1023038

No matter what it fires, we can agree we switch it from gun to sword mode by spinning it around in our hand.

>>1023189
yes
the spinning isnt optional
if you want to switch forms you need to spin it.
it was a bitch to figure out how to do it.

You almost call Mercy "Angela". For a moment, thoughts of lewd hand-holding flash through your mind. But that would be moving a little too fast. You settle on something more in the middle of the informality scale. "Thanks for the check-up, Doc."

She doesn't seem to mind. "See you later, Seeker."

You head over to the "Engineering Bay" which is actually just a large storage room at the bottom of the valley in the road, where Brigitte has set up her forge. She and Reinhardt are there now.

Reinhardt booms, "Good morning, my friend! As you see, I am once more fit as a fiddle." He demonstrates by flexing his massive arms. "I am prepared to return to the field!"

"Good to hear, Reinhardt. How's it going, Brigitte?"

"It's going," she says. "Please tell me you plan on getting some more staff, or at least repairing some janitor drones? I don't fancy being Overwatch's only non-agent support staffer as a long-term plan."


To Brigitte:
>That's the idea.
>We can't put civilians in danger.

"That's the idea," you say. "Not sure when we'll get the opportunity, but it would be great to have some more staff around here. Security guards, comm assistants. Maybe even a cook. And I'll see if I can get a drone tasked to janitor duty."

"Thanks."

"In the meantime, just concentrate on keeping our gear in one piece. You've done a bang-up job with that Crusader armor, I'm sure you can handle the rest of our stuff as well." You address Reinhardt. "How you feeling, old-timer? Looking forward to getting back out there?"

"Absolutely," he says. "A fire is in my blood, that I have not felt for many years. The agents of injustice shall soon feel my hammer!"

"That's the kind of enthusiasm we need," you say. "We'll get you something to hit soon enough. Oh, right. Brigitte, you wanted to see me about something? Mercy mentioned blueprints?"

"Right. Check this out. I've been looking over some of the old designs for Overwatch armor, okay? Turns out some of it's remarkably similar to the schematics for your Ares M-Tech gear. Given a few extra resources, I think I could craft you a new suit of armor that combines the functionality of both." She calls up a set of schematics, four basic designs for armor suits. "What do you think? Any of them catch your fancy?"

(Current stats: 200 HP, 5.5 movement speed)

Light Armor: 200 HP, 6 move speed.
Medium Armor: 250 HP, 5.5 speed.
Heavy Armor: 200 HP, 100 armor, 5.5 speed, movement ability CD increased.
Energy Armor: 150 HP, 50 shields, 5.5 speed.

>>1023966
Medium armor

For anyone not familiar with the game mechanics: Armor reduces damage taken from each attack by a small amount, making it effective against rapid-fire weapons. Shields regenerate after a short period of not taking damage.

"I like the idea of that light armor suit," you say. "How does it make me run faster, exactly?"

"It's more a matter of reducing the weight on everything, so you can access your full athletic potential," Brigitte says. "It also clings tightly to the wearer's body, enhancing endurance and strength by mirroring anatomy." She clears her throat, perhaps trying not to think about a suit clinging tightly to your anatomy. "For now, there's enough scrap in the abandoned sections of the base for me to work with. Once I get it melted down in the forge here, I can get started."

"I look forward to it," you say. "I'm glad you came with Reinhardt. I had a feeling an armorer would be a good person to have around."

"That we are," she says. "After all, you fighting types always get your gear busted and come crawling back to us sooner or later."

You look at Reinhardt and shrug. "Can't deny that."

"All too true," he admits. "Without Brigitte, my armor would have long fallen to pieces." And perhaps myself as well, he doesn't add, but you get the implication.

Athena's chirp sounds privately on your communicator. "Excuse me, will you? Keep me up to date on that armor, Brigitte."

You exit Engineering, which maybe you'll start calling the Forge. It's got a better ring to it. "Athena, what's up?"

"Crisis update," she says. "Boklovo, capital of Kurjikstan, is under attack by an Omnic."

"Okay -- wait, did you say AN Omnic? One?"

"Yes."

"So ..."

"It's a very big one," she says, pulling open a vid feed.

An armored mech the size of a small apartment building stomps across the city, smashing cars under its feet, firing shoulder-mounted ordnance at fighter jets swooping overhead.

"Oh. I see the problem."

"Former agent Torbjorn Lindholm is en route to Boklovo from his home in Sweden. What would you like to do, Seeker?"

Even though Torb does it himself, it'd be good for people to see us helping. Get them on our side when the UN eventually tries to stop us.

>>1024282
Inform other agents of the situation - on the way to the chopper.

>>1024331
He's more than a weird turret dwarf; he's a mechanical engineer. We need this guy to help get shit running.

>>1024282
>Get every agent and brief on the way and contact Torbjorn

>>1024342
He could also probably help with Reinhardt's armor. But then we need to somehow introduce him to Bastion.

>>1024356

>>1024356
What would his opinion on Bastion be; I mean he apparently is pro-human but would he take a Reinhardt approach to him?

>>1024370
Nah, Torbjorn fucking hates omnics. He already doesn't like the peaceful ones like Zenyatta so he'll despise Bastion.

>>1024282
>>Respond immediately with a strike team.
>Gather the other agents, inform them of the situation.

have athena inform them while we get ready

You decide to gather the other agents and inform them of the situation. You should also contact Torbjorn. You've never met the man yourself, though, and you suspect he wouldn't be interested in taking a call from a stranger at this time; so maybe you'll let one of the other agents handle that call.

"Athena, can you tell everyone about the situation? Get them suited up and ready to meet in the briefing room. Have one of them -- Winston, I guess -- contact Torbjorn."

"Acknowledged."

Reinhardt is standing by the door to the Forge. "What is about, Seeker?"

"Trouble in Kurjikstan," you say. "Titan class Omnic on the rampage. Your pal Torbjorn is already on his way."

"My goodness. That does sound like Torbjorn, to take on a Titan all by himself. At least he'll fit inside quite easily," he adds, and chuckles. "What shall we do? We should assist him, but he's never been one to accept help easily."

"That's what we're going to figure out," you say.

(Continued)

You enter the briefing room, checking over your gear for the third time. The other five agents are here, and they're geared up with the exception of Reinhardt, who would barely fit into this room in his Crusader armor.

Winston is typing away at the computer in the corner with a scowl on his face. "Still no luck contacting Torbjorn. I can't get a signal."

McCree scratches his head under his cowboy hat. "Er ... did ya try turning it off and on again?" Winston turns around and glares at McCree. The outlaw shrugs. "Hey, that's what you always used to tell me whenever something around here went on the fritz."

Winston grunts. "If only I had my communications satellite online ..."

"Even if we can't contact him," says Reinhardt. "We must help. I'm sure he plans on fighting zis battle alone. He may even succeed, tenacious little man that he is. But I cannot take the chance that he would fall without us. I must stand by him."

"I agree," says Mercy. "We should attend to the disaster. I can provide aid to the victims of the assault."

"I think you know how much I love playing cavalry," says Tracer.

McCree touches the brim of his hat. "I'm ready to saddle up."

"Then we're agreed," says Winston. "The only question is, who should go? The Aurora could technically fit all of us, although ..." he coughs. "It would be a little cramped back there in the passenger seats. It would also leave our base undefended except for the automated security. And personally, I'm not yet comfortable leaving the Bastion here alone. We can't be sure it doesn't have some kind of Talon sleeper program ready to activate."

"Probably at least one of us should stay behind," you agree. "I think our strike team should be ..."

>McCree
>Mercy
>Reinhardt
>Tracer
>Winston

Or -- and an odd idea pops into your head -- you could bring ...

>>1024497

A-TEAM

>>1024497
>Tracer
>Mercy
>Reinhardt
>McCree
Winston maintains the base.

>>1024511
This, Reinhardt and Torb are bros which would make convincing him to join us easier. Plus the man needs to fight eventually

>>1024497
>Mercy
>Tracer
>Reinhardt

>>1024497
>Winston
>Tracer
>Reinhardt

Winston can probably help shut it down somehow, Reinhardt can give good cover and smash up the lower bits of the titan omnic, and Tracer can help divert fire while we try and slash up something important.

>>1024512
Agreed with this. Winston is the only one who could feasibly assist from afar somehow, keep him at the base.

>>1024497
Mercy
Tracer
Winston
McCree

Winston technical know how might be what we need to bring it down.
Bringin Bastion along might convince Torb to not be so hostile to omnic after he saw it in action.

>>Reinhardt
>>Tracer

I'm kind of really curious of how things would play out if we brought Bastion, but...

>Reinhardt
Do we have any information on the Ominc that is in control of or the Titan?

>>1024497
McCree

Tell Winston to keep trying the comms

>>1024532
Adding Bastion to this

>>1024511
This, McCree is still dealing with a gunshot wound and someone needs to walk Bastion. If he complains just tell him we'll bring him back a t-shirt.

>>1024548
He could help however the problem is that the Titan is the exact type of unit that would have command Bastion units during the Crisis so the risk of it forcing control of him is to great.

[TOO MANY OFFENSE HEROES INTENSIFIES]

>>1024538

It's big and has enough firepower to raze a city block to the ground--let's aim for joints and weak points in the armor.

Otherwise, just help civillians and wounded out of the AO and let the comic take its path with Torbs infiltrating the unit

I'm going to limit it to 3 companions for now, so I can get some practice working my way up to larger groups. The Mercy + Reinhardt + Tracer trio is the winner.

>>1024536
You know what yeah I wanna bring Bastion, gonna add Bastion to my vote.

Torb might warm up to him better if he sees Bastion fighting on their side. It might also be a good time to instill some values and morals on Bastion, if he's learned enough to understand.

"See those people, Bastion? They're hurt, they're afraid. Evil will threaten the innocent, destroy the nests they've worked hard to build for themselves and their families. It's our job to protect them, to save them."

>>1024595
Phew, thank goodness. Last thing I wanted was for McCree to be left alone with something important and electrical.

>>1024595
Gang

>>1024497
>Tracer
for blinking around
>Mercy
for medical aid during and after fight
>Reinhard
for tanking

McCree should stay behind, isn't he still recovering from the shot? Not sure about Winston. Pity Bastion is not done with diagnostics, might be able to talk the thing down... then again facing another robot this soon might hurt him.

>>1024599
dude if he see's bastion he's going to shoot the fuck out of it

>>1024595
So what are we gonna call this squad? Team Euro-trash?

>>1024617
Team Eurobeat

>>1024613
I feel like he'll shoot the fuck out of Bastion no matter what, but I figured him seeing Bastion in action fighting on our side would at least have him hesitate more than if he just sees Bastion standing around in the base.

Not that it matters now, since Raven has decided.

>>1024620
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pr6E7Z9-NCo&t=2019s

It's some guy Torby went to school with. Torby actually created the Titan.

>>1024643
ty v much

Didn't the British pound just shit itself for a few weeks?

>>1024668

>>1024645
If that's the case we can hack it. Do we have any contacts we could call up to help us with that?

>>1024671
terrible

We should probably switch Tracer out for McCree next mission. We don't want to overwork her plus we need to interact with the others too.

>>1024675
Somb-....Nevermind.
>>1024676
It was a real mess.

>>1024671
On the other hand, crazy Widowmaker fanfics shot through the roof.

>>1024680
No tf we don't

>>1024675
Don't we have a programmer monkey? I figure if we can somehow establish a good enough signal from the Titan, Winston can try and fuck with it remotely.

>>1024675
>>1024693
I don't think Titans are hackable.

>>1024705
fine. let's just climb inside and break shit then.

I honestly wouldnt bring the undiagnosed PTSD robit on an all-out fight just on the offchance that he flips the fuck out and starts murdering humans or some shit.

That's the Overwatch way.

".. our strike team should be Mercy, Reinhardt, Tracer, and myself," you say. "McCree, you're still dealing with a gunshot wound, you should wait until you're at a hundred percent."

McCree opens his mouth to object, but is silenced from a frosty stare from Mercy. "Have I cleared you for action, McCree?"

He tips his hat. "No, ma'am."

"Someone has to walk the Bastion," you say.

McCree sighs. "I didn't join Overwatch -- again -- for robot-walkin' duty. But I hear ya. I'll hold down the fort."

"Winston," you say. "More than any of us, you can help from here. Keep trying Torbjorn on the comms, and try to find out what you can about Titan-class Omnics, or what's gone wrong with this one."

"Understood," he says. "I'll do what I can."

"You three, we're the strike team. Team Eurobeat. I mean," you add in response to their puzzled looks. "Strike Team Alpha. Once Reinhardt gets armored up, we'll take off."

"I shall go right away," announces Reinhardt. He strides off to the Forge, shouting, "We shall prove ourselves in glorious combat!"

Mercy, Tracer, and you walk towards the hangar. "So Lena," says Mercy. "It's been a while since we've done field work together."

"Lookin' forward to it, Angie," says Tracer. "I always feel good in a scrap knowin' I've got you lookin' out for me."

To Mercy:

Bantz before we die

"I'm not sure what to focus on out there," says Mercy. "The victims of the attack will need my aid, but I can't leave you three without support. I'm remembering now how difficult these sorts of decisions made this job ..."

"Do what you think is best," you say to her. "I trust your judgement."

She smiles. "Thanks for the vote of confidence."

You ask Tracer, "Ever dealt with something like this before?"

"Rampaging omnics? Definitely. Something this size? Not exactly, no. Titan-class is pretty rare outside of Russia."

"What do you think Torbjorn's going to do?" you ask her.

"Well, Torb knows all about Omnics. A lot of his designs were used as base models. The Titan might even be one of 'em. And he ain't a man for subtlety, or going around something when he could go straight through." She thinks a moment. "Wouldn't be surprised if he found some access hatchway, went right inside the thing, and switched it off from in there."

"That sounds like him," agrees Mercy.

"All right, so we'll assume that's what his plan is." The three of you reach the Aurora in the hangar. "How are you two feeling?"

"Ready to rock and roll," says Tracer.

"A bit nervous," admits Mercy. "I haven't been shot at or almost exploded for several years."

Tracer grins. "It's just like riding a bike, Angie. You'll get back into it in no time. And besides, we've got your back out there."

When Reinhardt arrives, the four of you board the Aurora, and begin the journey east to Kurjikstan.

It all really depends on how much of Kurjikstan's capital we save. Also, we may catch heat from some of the country's allies or enemies.
