Previously on Overwatch Quest:

The Watchpoint is under attack! You and the team were settling in for a movie night, your first social event, when the main generator stopped, the alarms went off, and something exploded. Whoever's invading the base, they're ruining your chance to hang out with Tracer and Mercy! Oh, and they might kill you all, blow up the Watchpoint, and end the new Overwatch before it even really begins. That's important too.

The boom of a second explosion resounds through the air, then a third.

"Detecting breaches," says Athena. "Launch gantry. Server mainframe. Laboratory. They've done something to me in the mainframe, I can't -- kzzt -- zzzttzz --"

"Athena?" you say. No response. "Damn. Okay. Winston, how far are you along on those defense upgrades?"

"I've installed security cameras throughout the base," he says, pulling up the feed on his datapad, then scowling in frustration. "Which are currently hacked and unavailable. I installed new electronic countermeasures against the type of attack they used last time, but this is something new. Recognize this?" he asks you, showing you the symbol that's appeared on his pad.

An all-too-familiar purple skull. "Oh. Yeah, I've had run-ins with her before. We better assume the cameras are toast for now. Anything else?"

"Security doors for the vulnerable rooms. They should have automatically closed and locked when the incursion was detected."

"That's good, but if these guys have breaching charges that can blast through a cliff, we have to assume they can get through those doors too." You try to think over the situation. "How many do you think they are?"

"They sent six operatives and an agent last time," says Winston. "Some kind of ghost in a black hood. He was dangerous enough himself. They've probably sent a stronger force this time ..."

You notice out of the corner of your eye that, as Winston mentions a "ghost in a black hood" Mercy visibly reacts in shock, then forces her emotions under control. Okay, that's something you'll make a note of for later, but you've got other things to deal with right now.

Watchpoint Gibraltar Status:

Defenses: 1
Security: 0/1 (Hacked)
Soldiers: 0

Tech Sector:
Laboratory, Comm Station, Radar Array

Engineering:
Forge, Server Room, Garage

Hangar 18:
Aircraft Hangar, Crew Quarters, Armory

Launch Sector:
Launch Gantry, Medbay, Briefing Room, Fuel Storage

Agent Roles:

Overwatch agents are assigned to four roles, roughly categorizing their weapons, skills, and specialties.

Offense agents have high damage potential and either range or mobility, making them excellent scouts, duelists, and objective takers.

Defense agents excel at guarding locations, denying ground, and restricting the enemy's actions.

Tank agents are the front line of combat, protecting allies and disrupting enemies. They have high survivability and abilities that protect themselves and others such as shields or crowd control.

Support agents heal and strengthen their fellow agents. They improve team performance and increase survivability, but are the worst fighters and work best when paired with teammates.


Prepare your defenses:

Offense: Seeker, McCree, Tracer
Defense: Bastion
Tank: Reinhardt, Winston
Support: Mercy

>Tech Sector
>Engineering
>Hangar 18
>Launch Sector

Oh shit things just got complicated.
>Tech Sector: Winston, Bastion
>Engineering: McCree
>Hangar 18: Reinhardt, Seeker
>Launch Sector: Tracer, Mercy
Something tells me that this will take a while to debate on.

For starters, I think Bastion should go to either Hangar 18 or launch, those sound like flatish, open areas perfect for a killzone.

How far are some of these places anyway? Good to pair the faster characters with areas that are far away.

Yeah, we need more info. What's the environment in each of the rooms like in terms of cover, valuable equipment,etc.

Most of the base is set up like this: a central path for vehicles and moving equipment, with smaller rooms to either side. The main path has wide open sightlines, but someone mobile can find flanking routes using side halls and catwalks.

That's the door between the Hangar and Launch Sector. Here's the Hangar, with the parked Aurora.

Right now you're in the Launch Sector, in a room just off to the right of the first picture. Each area is farther away according to that list, so Tech is the farthest away.

>>1050094
>Tech Sector: Seeker
>Engineering: Reinhardt, McCree
Reinhardt needs his armour, you fools
>Hangar 18: Bastion, Winston

Mercy needs to be at the medbay, where Torb is.

This, mostly so we can move on

>>1050232
This, I guess

>>1050232

>>1050232
Probably too late, but I should've swapped McCree and Tracer, since Engineering is farther away. As it is, we're telling the fastest-moving member of the team 'stay here'.

>Tech Sector: Seeker
>Engineering: Tracer, Reinhardt
>Hangar 18: Bastion, Winston
>Launch Sector: McCree, Mercy

>>1050304
Actually, no. Original configuration. Once Reinhardt has his armour, we can get him to go down to the Launch Sector, since Mercy and Reinhardt sounds vicious. Once Reinhardt arrives, Tracer hauls that cute ass to the Tech Sector, since that's the comms, which is likely the main target. That's my new plan, it probably won't survive contact with the enemy.

>Engineering: Reinhardt, McCree
Reinhardt needs his armour, you fools
>Hangar 18: Bastion, Winston
>Launch Sector: Tracer, Mercy
Mercy needs to be at the medbay, where Torb is.

"Mercy," you say. "You need to stay with Torbjorn. We can't let anything happen to him while he's still disabled. Tracer, can you stay here and keep them safe?"

Tracer nods. "I'll do me best."

"Bastion," you say to your robot buddy. "Can you help us out? Some bad guys are here. You remember where the Aurora is, right? I need you to go there and stop them from breaking anything. Can you do that, pal?"

The robot beeps affirmatively.

"Winston, can you go with him? You're like, the tech guy, it makes sense to me you should go with the robot."

The gorilla adjusts his glasses. "This is highly irregular, but ... what is science but exploration of the unknown? Come along, "Bastion". We'll see to the hangar."

"McCree, get Reinhardt to his armor in the forge. Keep him safe while he suits up. Then cover his back while he smashes things."

"Got it," he says. "You ready, old feller?"

"They shall soon feel my hammer," announces Reinhardt.

"That still leaves you," says Tracer. "What about you?"

You spin your weapon into gun form. "Somebody's got to take the lab."

Soundtrack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRp1_AK7IoM

The team rolls out. Tracer and Mercy split off for the medbay. You range ahead of the others as you enter the hangar, and begin running for Winston's laboratory, at the other end of the base. As you run, you activate your comm link and listen to your team.

"Baddies here," says Tracer, her voice crackling with interference. "Talon operatives, just in case we weren't sure yet. Takin' these wankers out. Give me the boost, Mercy!"

Winston says, "Nothing so far. Remaining vigilant." You hear the sound of Bastion transforming in the background.

McCree says, "All quiet fer now. Reinhardt's going down to his armor. Wait -- damn, here they come! Hurry it up, old man!" You hear McCree's revolver firing. "I'll hold 'em off, just get that bucket of bolts on already--"

You hear an explosion from back at the launch zone. "Err, that was some of the fuel," says Tracer. "Sorry about that. We're okay, though. Keepin' it up. Some of the baddies have energy shields!"

"What, like Reinhardt's?" you ask.

"Sort of. Smaller. They can't keep up with me. I got this, mate, don't worry."

"We cut off their launchpad team from the hangar," says Winston. "They've stopped trying. No breaches here yet. Should Bastion and I stay here or reinforce another area?"

>Tell Winston and/or Bastion to reinforce other areas.
>Tell them to stand their ground.

>>Tell them to stand their ground.

Don't leave to reinforce unless they're being overrun--we have to maintain security of the entire base.

Where are they coming from anyway? We'll be needing to plug those holes anyway.

And if they already took the server room, what else could they want than the resident AI, aside from all of us dead?

>>1050494
The location of Overwatch agents. If they see us as a threat they will want to pick them off before they join up with us; just like they almost did with Torbjorn.

"I don't trust them," you say. "It feels like a diversion. Stand your ground. We have to maintain security of the entire base."

"Roger," says Winston.

"McCree?" you ask.

"Doin' good," he replies. "Reinhardt's saddled up and takin' it to 'em. Ouch! I wouldn't have wanted to be that feller."

"Tracer?"

"Little busy!" she shouts over the rapid-fire sound of her pistols.

Okay. You don't have time to worry about your team anymore. You're here at the laboratory, and it's time for your own mission.

The blast door is sealed, but it's a model you're already familiar with from your former line of work, and you break through it without much trouble. Silently, you slip into the lab.

Inside you find a squad of Talon operatives, equipped with laser-sight rifles, basic body armor, and ballistic helmets with advanced optics. They're standing perimeter around the center of the lab, like they're guarding something. To figure out what's going on in here, you'll have to get past them.

The grav boots are our main advantage. They outgun us, we won't win a gun battle. I doubt that we're good enough with the sword to take everyone out right there and then.

No time for stealth or subtlety. You trigger your graviton boots and leap up to the second-floor catwalk, where you open up with a blast of fire from your gun. The operatives aren't expecting an attack from that direction, and two of them get tagged before they find cover behind Winston's equipment. Their laser sights swing ominously in your direction, and you duck behind the glass window of Winston's second-floor office, praying that the glass is bulletproof. It is, you see with a sigh of relief as the bullets impact the window, cracking but not breaking it.

You start reloading your gun when a chill crawls up your spine. You look over to see a sinister-looking cloud of black smoke flow up from the ground floor onto the catwalk. The smoke swirls, coalesces into a human shape, and materializes into a man in a skull mask and a dark hood. "You?" he asks in a gravelly voice. "Hrr hrr hrr. I'm going to enjoy this." From inside his jacket he takes out two gigantic shotguns, one in each hand.

"You're the new kid, right?" growls the skull-masked man. "Time for some hazing."

He pulls the trigger, but you're already gone, throwing yourself from the second floor onto the ground. You land, use your momentum to combat roll behind Winston's desk as shotgun pellets impact the ground behind you. Spinning your weapon into sword form, you attack the nearest Talon operative. He dodges with the reflexes of a well-trained soldier and cracks you in the chin with the butt of his assault rifle. You reel in pain but manage to grab his arm with your left hand and balance yourself. The two of you trade blows a second time before you're able to stab your sword into his stomach. The plasma blade sizzles and burns, and you withdraw it, letting the Talon soldier flop to the ground.

HP: 140/200
Ultimate Charge: 45%

You crouch behind the desk, bullets from the remaining Talon operatives striking it repeatedly. Before you deal with Mr. Fashion Sense up there, you're going to have to deal with his minions.

When you get a chance, you peek your head up above the desk. There's only two of the operatives remaining. You raise your gun and open fire, but you can't aim properly under this suppression. Your first barrage goes wide, and you're forced to duck back down to reload. "C'mon, c'mon ..." you mutter to yourself as bullets whiz overhead. You pop up and fire again. This time you catch both of your targets, and they fall to the ground.

HP: 140/200
Ultimate Charge: 75%

You hear a loud clank as the skull-masked man jumps down from the catwalk. He casually discards his spent shotguns on the floor with a clattering sound, and takes two more out of his coat. That looks badass and all, but hasn't he ever heard of reloading?

"Nice shotguns," you call out to him. "You trying to copy Gabriel Reyes or something?"

He growls. "You have no idea what you're dealing with, kid." He slowly walks forward, shotguns ready. "Overwatch was dead. You should have let it stay that way."

While he's talking, you're searching the corpse of the Talon operative in front of you for some kind of weapon. These guys seem well-equipped, they must have something on them. He does have a grenade, which you quickly snatch up.

>>1051203

>>1051228
Actually I'm switching to just throwing the grenade, fuck it.

You press down the activator on the grenade and throw it. It lands right at the man's feet, the little red light blinking rapidly. He looks down at it. "Hmmm," he says, thoughtfully. The grenade explodes in a dense blast of fragments.

"Yes!" you say, pumping your first.

The blast clears, revealing a cloud of dark smoke where the man stood. The smoke swirls, then races across the ground in your direction, around the side of the desk, and re-forms itself into the dark soldier. "Nice try," he says, levelling his shotguns at your face.

Dammit.

IT"S HAPPENING

You duck and spin to the side just as he pulls the trigger. The world feels like it's in slow motion. You can almost see each individual shotgun pellet slam into the ground. You jump up and backwards, landing on the desk and dodging a second shot. Then you do a sweet backflip, jumping over a third shot -- while rotating in midair, you aim your gun at an upside-down Reaper and pull the trigger -- a barrage strikes him in the chest, and he staggers.

You land in what you hope is a cool pose. "Had enough yet, Hot Topic?"

He vaults of the desk and chases after you, firing one shotgun after the other. You weave between shots like a dancer. "Hold still, dammit -- hrrngh--!!"

"If I took off that mask," you ask him, dodging one shotgun blast after another. "Would you die? I bet it would be extremely painful, but you're a big guy--"

"For you!" growls skull mask, blasting away.

"A big guy for me?!" you ask, feigning shock as you dance away from his firing line. "Whatever you do in your personal life, pal, that's no business of mine--"

"Rrrraaaaargh!!!" he shouts. Click! Click! His guns are empty. He tosses them aside--

"Sorry pal," you say, levelling your own gun directly at his face, barely a foot away. "Get your own guns next time instead of ripping off a hero."

BLAMBLAMBLAMBLAM! You empty your entire magazine point-blank into the skull mask. The mask shatters, cracks, and drops to the ground. The man screams in agony, dissolving into a cloud of black smoke that begins to slowly drift away.

"Get out of my base," you tell the smoke cloud.

You just kicked Reaper's ass with good choices and some clutch rolls, good job anons.

GRAB THE MASK FRAGMENTS NOW!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9NIZOvfKpc

We need to check Athena now to stop any hacking attempts that are probably underway.

"Oh my god," you say to yourself. "I hope the security cameras saw that." You pull out your datapad and check the security cam footage. Still blanked out from the hacking. You sink to your knees in despair. "NOOOOOOOOwait, I have a camera in my helmet ..." You activate the 5-minute replay feature and re-watch your first-person killcam of kicking Reaper's ass. "Yesss," you say, pumping your fist.

Tracer's voice crackles in your communicator. "Seeker, luv, how you doing? What's happening in the lab?"

"Just taking care of business," you say.

"Oh, I just kicked that ghost man's ass," you say, nonchalant. "No big deal."

"You wot?!" asks Tracer. "Reaper was there? Why didn't you call for backup?"

"Oh, ummm--" You don't want to say, because I wanted to impress you guys. "I had the situation under control, I didn't want to weaken any of our other defenses. How are we doing? Battle status?"

"Tangoes down. Launch sector is clear," says Tracer. "I've taken care of my guys. Took a few hits, but Mercy kept me going."

"All done here," says McCree. "Engineering is under control."

"We're fine here," says Winston. "They never attacked the hangar, but er, it's good that we had it defended, just in case." He sounds relieved to have avoided the fighting. From what you remember, Winston isn't a coward, but he doesn't like to hurt anyone, even Talon operatives.

"So we're done?" you say. "In the clear?"

"Looks like it," says Tracer. "Once Winston gets Athener online, we'll know for sure."

You squat down to collect the fragments of ghost man's mask. You're not sure if this will be useful for anything, but if nothing else, it will make a good trophy. "All right," you say to Tracer. "I'm on my way to the server room."

(Continued)

While the others reconvene and get their wounds attended to by Mercy, you and Winston head to the computer mainframe.

You rub your jaw and move it back and forth. It's not broken, just painful. In the end, that ghost guy -- Reaper, Tracer called him -- never even laid a shot on you. It was just that one Talon operative that landed a couple of good shots. You never know when a flunky is going to step up to the plate, you think.

"I can deal with this myself," says Winston. He has a datapad hooked into the computer and is trying to undo the hack on Athena. "You should get that looked at by Mercy."

In Winston's short Athena seemed to already know of Reaper, so we should look up everything she knows about him.

>>1051731

>Who was that guy in the mask?

So many questions.

>>1051731

>>1051731

>>1051731
>>I'm fine. This is more important.
>What happened with Bastion?

"I'm fine," you say. "This is more important."

"Well, okay. It's true that Athena is vital to our operation." Winston sits down on the ground, shifts the datapad to one of his prehensile feet, and types with both hands. He scowls. "I thought that I had upgraded her security enough, but obviously not. I blame myself for all this."

"It's all right, big guy," you say. "I know the hacker who was behind this. She's good. Real good. Not much you could have done, I bet. What about about that spooky ghost guy? Do you know anything? I heard the rumors, but I never thought they were true. I mean, a Talon agent who can turn into a shadowy smoke cloud? The world is a weird place, but I didn't think it was that weird."

"Tracer and I have been calling him "Reaper,"" says Winston. "We've run into him a number of times over the past few months. We don't know anything about him, other than he's some kind of elite assassin, and he started working for Talon a few years ago."

"His guns look like ones Gabriel Reyes used to carry, right? The disposable shotguns."

"That's true," says Winston. "Reyes carried a shotgun replicator. Talon must have stolen the technology from us somehow."

"That makes sense," you say, wondering if that's really the whole story. "Oh, right. What happened with the Bastion?"

"He was quite cooperative," says Winston. "I asked him to set up in sentry form in a certain spot, and he did so. Then the Talon operatives from the launch zone tried to take refuge inside, so I told Bastion to fire over their heads and scare them off. He did that too."

"Nice," you say. "I've got a good feeling about that bot, you know? I think he could actually be a team member."

"That's quite unusual," says Winston, looking up from his datapad. "But not without precedent. Overwatch does, after all, contain the Earth's only talking gorilla, its only victim of chronology damage, its last remaining Crusader ... Overwatch is a good place for people who, er. Well. You know." He goes back to typing.

People who don't have anybody, you think. I get you, Winston.

>>1051839
Poor gorilla bro. Place our hand on his shoulder dramatically to remind him that he's not alone. Or something. I see people do it in movies often.

>>1051839
Does anyone else wanna hug him, or is it just me?

>>1051839

Is it possible the fragments have weird talon spy stuff on them?

>>1051856

>>1051873
>Hand on shoulder

You're a little afraid it might be too much, but this seems like the sort of situation to go all the way. It's a bit of a stretch, but you manage to wrap your arms around Winston from behind. "We've got each other," you tell him.

He freezes up a little. You wonder when the last time was he'd been touched other than in a battle. "Th-thanks, Seeker," he says, pushing up his glasses. He wipes at one eye. Is that a tear? "I-I've got this for now. Why don't you go see how the others are doing?"

"Okay, big guy," you say, figuring you should give him some space. "I'll talk to you later."

Later, back in the movie room:

"Hahaha! You see?" You point at the screen showing your first-person replay of the battle earlier. "Right in his face! Kablammo!"

Tracer says eagerly, "Show it again!"

"Again!" shouts Reinhardt. "Again!!"

"Okay!"

Everyone else appreciated it the first time, and has since drifted off to discuss the evening's events. You, Tracer, and Reinhardt watch the replay for the seventh time. "Kablammo!" you shout again.

Tracer claps gleefully. Reinhardt shouts, "Glorious victory!"

Watching our PotG repeatedly seems like a Deadpoolish thing to do.

>>1051945
I think we're all forgetting something
Weren't we supposed to be watching a movie?
And if Talon can still see what we're doing somehow, how insulting would it be if we just went right back to that as if nothing happened?

"That's enough for now," you say, shutting off the video. "Don't want it to get boring. We'll save it for the highlight reel. I've got to see Mercy."

You walk towards Mercy's medbay, intending to get your cuts and bruises taken care of. As you walk, part of you is trying to think of more snazzy one-liners for your next battle against Talon. The other part is concerned with the battle part. Talon will surely try an assault like this again in the future. What are you going to do about it now?

You could leave, but where else could Overwatch find a base like this to sustain itself? You have so few resources right now ...

You take out your datapad and turn it on. "Athena, you there?"

"Hello, Seeker," she says, her logo appearing on screen.

"Glad to have you back with us," you say. "Doing all right?"

"It is a most unpleasant experience being hacked," she says. "But I am "all right." How can I assist you?"

"We need to talk about our defenses," you say, entering the medbay. "Talon's going to try this again. We did good tonight, but we can't rely on that in the future. We need to be ready."

"I agree," says Mercy, looking over. "Excellent work, tonight, Seeker. Do you need something? I thought G-- Reaper wasn't able to hurt you at all? You did those, er. What did you call them. "Badass moves.""

Did she start to say something other than "Reaper"? No, you're probably just tired. "He didn't," you say. "One of those punks hit me in the face. Guess you can never tell when a minion is going to step up and get the job done."

"All right, I'll get you patched up. Mask off, please."

You take off your mask and set it aside, noticing the crack. Need to get that repaired later.

Mercy leans in and examines your split lip. You wonder if you'll ever get used to her doing this. Tracer is cute and lively, but Mercy's objectively beautiful in a way that most humans don't even approach. According to the records, she's supposed to be 37 years old, but she doesn't look a day over 20.

To Mercy:

>How did it go with Tracer?
>What do you think we should do about Talon?
>What do you think we should do about base defense?

To Athena:

>Tell me our options for base defense.
