Previously on Overwatch Quest:

You contacted a woman tied to Overwatch's past and to yours: Fareeha Amari. Once the heir apparent of Overwatch, now a captain in Helix Security's global elite forces, she also happens to be an old flame of yours. You put aside your personal feelings to speak to her. She was the commander of the squad that defended the main breach at the Temple of Anubis, and you wanted to let her know the truth behind her comrades' deaths -- that Anubis had broken free by another method, and even now threatened the world. You also felt that if anyone could work "in the system" and help track down this rogue AI, it might be her.

You didn't mention the part about how Overwatch was starting up again, or how you'd somehow found yourself as its de facto commander.

You wonder what she'll say when she finds out that you joined Overwatch before she did.

>>1130240
Or that you're basically leading it.

NOT SO FAST, CHAOS MCSIRMAN! IT IS I, ORDER O'MANSIR, YOUR EVIL TWIN!

When you informed the team about the Anubis fragmentation strategy, those fledgling leadership skills were called into play once more, and you gave an almost-heroic, nearly-inspiring speech to the team. For now, your plan is have Athena try to track down these Anubis fragments, while you and the team keep doing what you were doing: recruit more agents and protect the world, one crisis at a time.

Then you and the team took the night for a little R&R. Can't be saving the world every day, after all. You had a few drinks and some good laughs, and you have blurred memories of dancing with Tracer to Michael Jackson.

>>1130257
well hello plot twist

RRRRRRRGH ORRRDERRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Playing Overwatch and reading OW Quest at the same time. That's the way to do it!

The next world crisis that you and the team are planning to jet off to as outlaw vigilantes is in Rio de Janeiro. The Vishkar Corporation development agency has reportedly received the go-ahead from the city to raze multiple favela neighborhoods for reconstruction. The outspoken musician Lucio has declared a free concert in a public square tonight as a symbol of the people's resistance. The city government has signaled its intention to back up Vishkar's dispersal efforts with riot police. If you don't do something, this concert could become a war zone.

Athena predicts another Talon attack to arrive at about the same time as the concert, so the team's going to have to be in two places at once. You decided to split everyone into mobile attackers and defensive heavyweights. Joining you in the Aurora will be Tracer, McCree, and the Shimada brothers Genji and Hanzo. What exactly the five of you are going to do when you arrive in Rio is something you haven't decided yet.

You and the team could infiltrate Vishkar's corporate tower in the city, searching for something to use against them: drone control codes, executive blackmail material, anything like that.

You could also try investigating the police station that will deploy riot police alongside Vishkar's corporate soldiers. That might be difficult since everyone on your team -- with the possible exception of Tracer -- is one variety of outlaw or another. But you also have two ninjas coming with you, so that might be another approach.

A different angle you might take is to try and track down some of your old criminal contacts in the Rio underworld. The Darkwire Club is usually crawling with hackers, scoundrels, and sociopaths. If you manage to find the right someone, they might be able to help you.

Or you could just wait until the concert, show up, and try your best to stop it from turning into a riot.

>>1130407
Let's hook it up with our old contacts.

YES FINALLY AT LONG LAST I'M ON TIME TO PLAY THIS QUEST.

>>1130407
Try to find Lucio and try to inform him about the riot. Ask him if we could act as his security.

You decide you'll get everyone together and leave as soon as possible. Once you're in Rio, you'll head to the Darkwire Club and see if any of your old friends can help. You just hope word hasn't gotten around of your new affiliation yet.

C'mon, man, Seeker. Why'd you have to go and think that? Now that's guaranteed to happen. We're screwed and it's Seeker's fault.

>>1130520
Oh damn, Seeker's 24? Thought it was 27. Well I'll be.

>>1130530
maybe if we say something to double jinx it then it'll all work out?

>>1130530
I changed it for a timeline correction. Dealing with the mess that is the official Overwatch timeline can be diffcult.

>>1130548
oh so seeker like his older women then huh

>>1130561
well tracer's a time traveler. but hey, it's the future.

>>1130530
The only person younger than him is Dva.

But he'd have to be pretty young considering that as a kid he was a fan of later overwatch members like Tracer. She's only 3 years older than him.

>>1130637

>>1130694
"A ninja, a cyborg, a cowboy, a time traveler, and the leader of Overwatch all walk into a bar. Surely one of them saw it. The world is screwed."

You contact the team and get their approval on your plan. Within a couple of hours, you and the agents you requested have shaken off your hangovers, boarded the Aurora, and shot off into the western sky.

You take some time to think over who you know that's still running in Rio, that you might run in to at the Darkwire. Blue Sally? No, she got busted in a raid by the Skulls, the Rio special forces police. Last you heard she was in a prison under the ocean. Two-Jacks? No, he got his brain burnt out by corporate ice. Hmmm. There has to be someone ...

In the passenger compartment, you can hear McCree doing his best to make casual conversation with the Shimadas. Ninjas have plenty of skills, but small talk doesn't seem to be one of them.

In the cockpit, there's an awkward silence between you and Tracer as she avoids your gaze. She might be still thinking about your less-than-respectable past -- or she might just be embarassed about her display of emotion last night regarding that.

>Bring up that conversation.
>Keep her focused on the mission.
>Talk about something unrelated.

>Talk about something unrelated.

>>1130750
>>Talk about something unrelated.

>>1130750

>>1130761
>"So I heard this joke the other day about two people who had an awkward conversation and were avoiding each other because of it.

>>1130750
>Talk about something unrelated.
Brain burned by corporate ice? Nice Shadowrun reference, I think.

>>1130750
>Talk about something unrelated.

>>1130767
That's not bad. Changing to something like that. Especially if there's an awkward silence as neither of them say anything, so Seeker follows it up by just talking about something else.
On that, we're both in the cockpit, now wouldn't be a bad time to bring up teaching people/us to fly and how reliable autopilot or getting Athena to fly would be.

>>1130750
>Keep her focused on the mission.

>>1130807
This sounds good.

"So I heard--" you start to say.

"I just want--" Tracer says at the exact same time.

You then simultanteously try to apologize. You meet each other's eyes and chuckle, lifting the tension a little.

"You first," she says.

"No, I was just going to tell a dumb joke about awkward silences," you say. "You go ahead."

"I just wanna say, I'm kinda embarassed. I've been thinking about this whole thing where you're ... you know. A criminal. It's not like I haven't worked with the reformed types before. McCree back there is a good example. I just wanted to talk to you about it when I wasn't three sheets to the wind." She sighs. "Guess that didn't work out ..."

"It's no big deal," you say. "Really. I can understand why it's weird. We can talk about it some other time. As long as you can trust me for now."

"That I can do," she says.

"Good to hear," you say, drumming your fingers on the console. You've figured out some of the basic functions of the co-pilot's chair over the past few weeks. "Hey, what do you say about teaching me how to pilot the Aurora? It would useful if more than one person could fly this thing, right? If you were out of commission, or if we had to split up on different teams. Uhh ... not that I want to split up on different teams, I mean I really like working with you, but ... uhh ..." Dammit, Logan. Why do you do this.

Tracer laughs. "I get what you mean. Hmm. Well, you're fast, got a good eye. Given a little time, I could probably make a pilot out of you. Yeah, let's go for it."

"Great," you say. "Looking forward to it." This will be a good chance to expand your skills and help out the team's transport logistics. The fact that you'll get to spend some quality time with Tracer is just a bonus.

>>1130921
By the way, apparently we got our new armor. We should see who's faster.

You glance back at the passenger area. Now that you think about it, everyone on this aircraft right now except for Tracer is some kind of outlaw. McCree used to run with the Deadlock Gang before joining Blackwatch, and the Shimada brothers were heirs to a criminal empire, even if they didn't directly participate. If you were going somewhere else, that might be a problem, but plunging right into the heart of Rio's criminal underworld, it'll probably be an asset.

"Speaking of my past among the world's less respectable," you say, turning back to Tracer. "My plan is for us to head to one of my old hangouts, try to find someone I know. If we're going up against Vishkar, we might need the help. There's a place called the Darkwire Club. Tends to collect rogues, hackers, and psychos."

>Stick with me and you'll be fine.
>Maybe you should stay in the ship.

>>1131013
>Maybe you should stay in the ship.
Is she a poster girl for In-game Overwatch too? Cause that's not good for crime bars.

>>1131013
>>Stick with me and you'll be fine.

>>1131013
>Maybe you should stay in the ship.

>>1131024
>>1131034
I agree, we want to keep this on the down low and Tracer would stick out like a sore thumb. Maybe she can check out the concert space on her own while we check the club out?

>>1131013
>Maybe you should stay in the ship
I trust Tracer but not only is she a recognizable hero but her sense of justice would be a hinderance
That sounds a lot more evil now that I typed it out.

>Maybe you should stay in the ship

"Maybe you should stay with the ship," you say to her. "Or go check out the concert square. You're kind of recognizeable."

She looks sidelong at you, displeased.

"Hey, don't blame me," you say. "You're famous, people know about you. I mean, usually that's great. I think you're important to a lot of people. It's just that in this particular case, walking into a den of thieves ..."

"You don't want a copper doggin' your heels," she says. "I gotcha."

"Me and the guys will take care of this. They'll be less conspicuous," you say about the cowboy, the cybernetic ninja, and the kimono-clad archer.

>Yeah, it'll be fun. Guy's night out.
>On second thought, maybe I'll go alone.

>>1131176
>>Yeah, it'll be fun. Guy's night out.
"I feel like we're the start of a bad joke"

>>1131176
>Yeah, it'll be fun. Guy's night out.

>>1131176
Maybe we could take Mccree and have ninjas scout out the concert location? Depending on how much trouble we are expecting I guess.

>>1131176
>Yeah, it'll be fun. Guy's night out.
Well....Brazil does have a large population of Japanese descent and we can say McCree's from the Argie pampas. All he needs to do is to tell everyone he's white.

>>1131286
What's the latest /int/ shitposting my friend? I want to learn all the new hip maymays.

So, a Cowboy, a cyborg ninja, and a former yakuza archer walk into a hacker bar.

Sombra hacks McCree, making him trip and pull off Hanzo's Kimono.


I don't know, I'm bad at jokes. At least I didn't go with 'walk into a bar. "Ow." '

>>1131294
How did she hacked mcree into falling?
also, Genji goes ;'OWO'

>>1131311
Same way her hacks stop McCree from being able to roll.

You climb into the back seats with the other guys. "Stop me if you've heard this one," you say. "A cowboy, a ninja, an archer, and a thief all walk into a bar ..."

"And?" prompts Genji. "What happens?"

"I'm not sure yet. That's what we're going to find out. We're going to a place I used to hang out in, the Darkwire Club. A real hive of scum and villainy. The four of us should fit right in."

"And why would we do that?" asks Hanzo, skeptical.

You look at Hanzo. You're not really sure why he agreed to come in the first place. You haven't yet talked to him about whether he's willing to officially join Overwatch as an agent.

Come to think of it, you're still not sure exactly what happened back in Hanamura. Hanzo seems to imply he was at fault for Genji's imprisonment.

Whatever it was, Genji must have said something to Hanzo that convinced him to come on at least one mission.

"I'm going to try to find someone I know," you say. "Someone who can help us. The people you find there specialize in doing jobs that defy the corporations, stealing things right out from under their noses. I'm sure at least one of my old friends will be around and willing to help us, for a reasonable compensation."

"Guess we could use all the help we can get," says McCree.

Darkwire, and the people in it, look pretty much like how you remember. There's a different set of fashion statements in augments, colors, and hairstyles, but the basics stay the same. Colored lights pulse in time to the bass-heavy thumping of synthesized music, a trio of barely-dressed dancers on stage gyrating more or less to the beat. The glowing-hair crowd dominates the dance floor, while a motley collection of savages and scoundrels collect in knots by the bars, at tables, or in corners.

The wireheads slump in chairs in the center of the room, their brains plugged into machines that look like square-shaped lanterns glowing with pink light. This is where the club gets its name, a certain habit which is only indulged in places like these.

Early on in humanity's dabbling in cybernetic brain implants, pleasure-seekers found ways of plugging directly into the brain's reward centers. They soon found out how dangerous a thing could be, even for seasoned hedonists such as themselves. Installing a "wire" -- an implant that directly stimulates pleasure in the brain -- is illegal just about everywhere, but there some who go through with it anyway. And there are places, like this, that cater to them.

The club serves more mundane tastes as well. Your three teammates take a table while you head to the bar and order some drinks for everyone. You're not actually sure yet if Genji can eat or drink, but you get him a drink anyway, for decorum if nothing else. The Omnic bartender pours you four glasses of glowing blue liquid.

"All right, fellas," you say, returning and passing out the drinks. "Guy's night out tonight. I'm going to try to find some of my old friends. You guys watch my back, and maybe see if you run into anyone useful. For now, enjoy your first drink on me."

After a little time to finish your drink and get the feel of the place again, you start roaming. It doesn't take long before you run into someone who recognizes the hood and mask, someone who you've worked with before.

"Hey, Silver," you say. "Been a while. What was the last time, Mexico? That Lumerico tower?"

"Sounds about right, yeah," she says. "Still can't believe how many corp execs have a password of "password". What name are you using these days?"

"Seeker," you say, figuring Silver will make the connection sooner or later. Your status as an Overwatch agent isn't known to the world yet, but when it is, she'll recognize it's you whatever name you're using.

"What are you up to these days?" she asks. "Anything you can talk about?"

"A little of this, a little of that. Staying busy out there. How about you?"

"Operating, mostly," she says. "I've got a lot of contacts built up, and acting as a go-between involves a lot less bullet-dodging."

"Why don't you buy me a drink and we can talk about it?" you suggest.

Silver eyes you askance, then relaxes and grins. "I forgot what a rascal you are around older women. Fine. I've got a table in the back."

You join her at her table with another drink, this one glowing purple.

"It just so happens," you say. "That I'm in need of someone who provides such a service."

"You always did have irons in the fire," she says, lighting another cigarette. "So that doesn't surprise me. What can I help you with?"

"I need information," you say. "Everyone knows about Lucio's rally tonight. We both know what's going to happen. Vishkar wants to bring down the hammer on anyone standing in their way, and the police will back them up. The Skulls might even get called out. Vishkar think they've got this all figured out, and once their thugs stomp on enough poor people and break enough bones, the poor will just go home and wait to be evicted. I'm not going to let that happen."

"Hmmmm," says Silver. "I can hear the venom in your voice. Yeah, I remember you really hate the corps. For most of us it's just a job, but for you it's personal, isn't it? You've really got a grudge against them."

"Never mind that," you say, although it's true. "I need to know about ...

"... Lucio," you say. "Where can I find him? What is he planning? Is this really just one big protest, or does he have something else in mind?"

Silver looks at you a moment, smoke curling lazily from her cigarette. "You understand I'm not usually in the practice of giving out valuable information for free," she says. "I'll tell you this much as a favor to a friend. Anything more is going to cost you."

"Understood," you say. "Go on. You know where he is?"

(Continued)

>>1134289
>Lucio. What is he really planning? Where can I find him?
>The Skulls, the special police. Is there some way I can keep them out of this?

"I don't know the exact details," she says. "But it does seem like there's something more behind this concert. A bigger plan. Lucio was seen in the neighborhood recently. Right here in this club, according to rumor. He was asking a person in my line of work some very interesting questions about Vishkar Corp, and some kind of secret project they've got going on in the R1 Tower."

"What kind of secret project?" you ask.

She smiles and makes a "zip my lips" gesture. "Different subject."

"Okay, so ... where is he now?"

"Right now?" Silver consults a readout. "He obtained a full readout of the security in the building, and a timing of guard shifts, so ... I suspect he should be entering R1 any minute now."

"You mean ... you think he's breaking into the place? Alone? Maybe right now, as we speak?"

She smiles.

"Oh man," you sigh, sinking back into your seat. "This had to get more complicated."

"Don't underestimate the boy, Seeker," she says. "Or at least not his courage. He has some kind of plan. Whether he has the skill to follow through on it remains to be seen."

Damn. If what she's saying is true, you might need to act on it as soon as possible. For now, you stay focused on the current moment. The rest of that information might come in handy, and it still might be good to get some gear or hire someone to help you out with all this.

You check the Overwatch account real quick. Not much there, just a trickle of funding from grateful citizens in Kurjikstan and Japan. There's about enough in there to pay for one thing. You might be able to get more if Silver agreed to let you pay later, but that would probably require some persuasion on your part.

Money is useful. Would it be so terrible if we had a small fortune?

>>1134587
If not for that meddling Jew Police!

>>1134588
Yes

We must spend all of Overwatch's money on either one of two things:

1) Intel
2) Hookers and blow

>>1134597
So it's okay having as little as possible things that can destroy the Anubis fragments?

>>1134597
We must destroy him with intel, hookers, and blow.

"Thanks for the information," you say. "I'm pretty short on shekels these days, so I'll have to accept your favor and leave it at that for now." Probably for the best. That info would have come in handy, but that's money you could be spending on staff or upgrades for the Watchpoint.

"Suit yourself," says Silver. "Come talk to me again when you're a little richer. Or feel free to pay me a social visit. As I recall, you're pretty cute under that mask. You can refresh my memory sometime," she says with a seductive smile. She pats the seat beside her. "I don't suppose I could tempt you to stick around for a few more drinks?"

For a moment, you genuinely consider letting Lucio, Vishkar, and the favela all go to hell. Then you sigh. "Sorry, Silver," you say, standing up. "Maybe some other time. Gotta put business first today."

You rejoin McCree at your table. "Where are the ninja brothers?" you ask him.

He shrugs. "They went off ta make their own inquiries. Thought I'd stay here and keep an eye on you with that silver-haired lady over there, make sure she didn't start nothin'."

"Thanks, but she's an old friend, I doubt she'd try anything like that. She gave me some information for free, in fact. I asked her about Lucio, and she thinks the guy has some crazy plan to sneak into the Vishkar tower. Something about a secret research project inside. Why he would do that just before his concert tonight? I have no idea. He must be planning something."

"But what in tarnation could he be thinkin'?" says McCree. "He must be after somethin' specific, right? You don't just up and decide, hey, why don't I break into a big ol' corporate tower and just mosey around, see what I can dig up."

"Yeah, he must have something in mind," you say. "But I don't know what. Weapons aren't really Vishkar's thing, at least not the kind you could use on a whole crowd of guards and soldiers. They're more into construction and electronics, that hard-light ivory tower wizard stuff they do."

"Whatever it is, it ain't important right now," says McCree. "We got to decide what to do about this."

>>1134813

Best way to help Lucio is to let him pull his plan. He's got a plan to break in. We don't. Walt outside and if shit gets loud, get in there.

>>1134787
>What do you think?
Always get another point of view. If we go bumbling in we could ruin everything.

How about we set up so that if the alarm is suddenly raised we can break in there and get him out....If we get seen we're overwatch agents...we could make a very powerful enemy.

(Short break while I have dinner, then prep the shadowrun.)

We're probably going to run into Symmetra and she'll be in her home turf. Expect traps out the Wazoo and devastating charged shots from the flanks.

>>1134928
No, she's autistic, remember? All we have to do is move some of the office furniture so it's off-center and she'll be crippled.

>>1135272
Yeah, but I don't expect Vishkar to publicize the levels of Autism in their high level operatives. SO we don't know that's a viable tactic. Also she may just kill us, and then fix the furniture.

>>1135272
only if we movie it by like 5 inch's that way we can really fuck with her

>>1135296
I mean we do have McCree and Lucio, and it's well known autistic people are overly sensitive to light and sound. Alternatively we could just have everyone stand around her and interact in a socially normal way until she just shuts down.

>>1135272
>>1135313
I support gaslighting shadowruns against Symmetra in the future.

>>1135272
She has severe OCD like Monk which people interpret to mean she's on the spectrum. If shifting furniture actually worked then Symmetra wouldn't be a successful corporate runner.

Feel free to try it, but don't start crying when it doesn't work.

>>1135434
Nah man, I'm all for gaslighting. It's proven to work against people who aren't even on any spectrum.

>>1135442
Sadly, we don't have time for gaslighting.

>>1135315
That would only work if she was actually Autistic.

>>1135434
There was Also the line in the comic where she said she was on a spectrum, so Autism isn't totally out there.

>>1135450
I know, but in the future. It's gonna be great when we can actually start psyops against someone.

Vishkar R1 is a massive pinnacle of steel, glass, and hard-light construction. It towers over its neighboring skyscrapers by the same magnitude that they eclipse the ordinary buildings below them. Mega-corporations don't go for subtlety these days. They have all kinds of ways to show everyone who's really in charge, and making the rest of the city live in their literal shadow is one of them.

You and the strike team -- Tracer, McCree, Genji, and Hanzo -- have gathered in the shadows of a remote back lot, looking up at the corporate monolith.

"So," says Tracer. "Lucio's somewhere in there, is he? I say we zip right in there and help 'im out with whatever it is he's doing."

"I advise caution," counsels Hanzo. "As I was recently reminded much to my chagrin, blundering into enemy territory without a plan can place one in grave danger. Yourself, or those with you," he adds, glancing at Genji. "What is the English saying? "Look before you leap.""

"But if we wait, it might be too late fer him," argues McCree. "We can't just sit around twiddlin' our thumbs while Lucio's in danger in there."

"Even if we follow him," says Genji. "There's the small matter of getting inside. We don't know what route Lucio took to get in. We must find the path for ourselves."

>Wait and watch.
>Walk straight in the front door and blast anyone in your way.
>Find a service entrance, pretend to be an employee.
>Land the Aurora on the roof.
>Search for the way Lucio got in.

>>1135888

>>1135888
>Search for the way Lucibro got in

>Wait and watch.

>>1135888
>Wait and watch.
Damn it, we barely even know what Lucio's doing, there's no way we could possibly be productive just going in. Have faith in Lucio, anons.

>>1135888
>>Wait and watch.

>>1135888

>>1135888
>Search for the way Lucio got in.
We've literally got three people that can climb walls here.

I say we have McCree find a good vantage point and be our eyes on another roof or something so he can zip-zap-zoop some fuckers.

>>1135888
>Search for the way Lucio got in.
I'm willing to bet with all the activities they have enough security measures (guards, electronic surveilance, etc) that we'd notice an intrusion. That or wait out here. Maybe have everyone except McCree in the Auoura, so we can spot flashes and such in the building and ninja in (not McCree's strong suit), or we can spot him coming out either from the air or someone having a perceptive eye on the ground (McCree's strong suit). Of Course ask our experienced team mates what they think of our ideas.

>>1135888
>Wait and watch.

If he needs help we can jump in then.

>>1135888
>Wait and watch.
If alarms go off, we can do a distraction.

"Let's wait and see," you say. "If we just go right in, I don't know if we'll actually help the situation. Maybe Lucio can pull this off without us. If he needs help, we can jump in then."

Tracer looks annoyed. "So you want to wait until the alarms go off, then break in?"

"It's not a perfect plan, I admit," you say, sweating a little. "But if we just go straight in, we might tip them off that something's up, and make things worse for Lucio. Let's just wait." Right now you wish you'd bought that information on the Vishkar HQ from Silver so you knew a sneaky way inside.

The team sits down to wait while you monitor the Vishkar feeds. McCree lights a cigar. Genji and Hanzo meditate. Tracer paces up and down restlessly.

A few minutes later your screen starts to fill with amber alerts. "Okay, something's happening," you say to the team, standing up. "Get ready to--" Before you can finish your sentence, the amber alerts change to red. "Uh oh."

You look up at the building to see the security protocols engaging. An alarm sounds. Hard light construct turrets start to phase into existence on the outer corners of the building. A huge set of blast doors begins to close over the front entrance.

>Sprint for the front door, try to get inside before it closes.

"What now, genius?" Tracer says to you, her voice twisting with sarcasm.

"Hey, give him a break," says McCree. "It's not like Jack never made a bad call in his life."

"At least he knew when things had to get done," says Tracer, folding her arms.

"I ... I can still fix this," you say. "I have a plan. Everybody into the Aurora."

A few minutes later, the ship is approaching the rooftop of Vishkar R1.

(Continued)

>>1136058
Its better if we're outlandish. Everyone knows its ragtag bands of misfits that accomplish the most. Look at original overwatch.

"Let me do the talking on this one," you say.

The radio crackles to life. "Unidentified aircraft, this is Vishkar R1 Tower Control," says a male voice, tense with hostility. "State your identity and purpose."

You turn on your voice transmitter. Time for a gamble. "Tower, this is Lucheng Tiger-9 incoming," you say. You check your encryption codex for the latest hexadecimal code generated. "Code 9C8A9-T. We're here to help you clean up the mess."

There's a short delay. Tracer looks at you with a puzzled expression. You wink at her.

The radio comes back to life. "Tiger-9, We've got it taken care of," says the voice. "One intruder only."

"Come on, Tower," you say. "You really think this guy would attack alone? Use your head."

"Tiger-9, you know something we don't?"

"Orders from the big boss," you say. "You know the one I mean. She won't be happy if you keep yanking my chain like this, Tower."

Another delay. Tracer's face is growing more incredulous by the moment. You're kind of enjoying this, now.

"Tiger-9, proceed to landing pad 2," says the voice.

"Roger, Tower," you say. "Proceeding."

You switch off the radio and, not without some satisfaction, look at Tracer. "Not bad, right?" you ask, putting your hands behind your head.

She shakes her head and starts to guide the Aurora towards the second landing pad. "You're just full of surprises," she says.

"Hey, I'm sorry I flew off the handle back there," says Tracer as she starts to lands the Aurora. "This is harder for me sometimes than I let on, you know? When Jack was in charge, we all knew where we stood. We knew who had responsbility for what. Now things are weird." She unbuckles her safety belt and starts putting the Aurora into a rest mode where it can still get ready to take off shortly. "Now nobody's in charge. Or at least that would be true ... if not for you. You're stepping up when nobody else can. And you only joined, what was it, two weeks ago?" She laughs. "Seems like a lot longer. I can hardly imagine the team without you now."

"Morrison left some pretty big shoes to fill," you say. "I don't honestly know if I'm up to it."

"You're doing your best. and if you ask me, I think you're doin' pretty good overall. So ... I'll follow your lead, Seeker." She salutes. "Discipline me for insubordinatin' if you need to, sir."

Ah, fuck it. Swapping to this.

"Just ... stay focused on the mission for now," you say, trying to come up with the next stage of your plan. You realize that might sound a little harsh, so you say, joking, "I'll think of something suitably embarassing for your punishment later, Lena." You unbuckle your belt, stand up, and head for the exit hatch. "Also, it's weird getting called "sir". Seeker or Logan is fine. Guess we should stick to codenames when we're on the job."

"Gotcha. Seeker it is, then."

You and Tracer leave the cockpit exit hatch, while McCree and the Shimada brothers come out from the passenger doors. A squad of Vishkar security guards meet you on the roof.

"You don't look much like any Lucheng enforcers I've ever seen," says the squad leader. "Let's see some identification cards."

You wave your hand, thinking of a scene from an old movie. "You don't need to see my identification."

"Excuse me?" asks the squad leader. "I just said I need to--"

That didn't work quite like in the movie, but you brush past the man anyway with the superior air of authority that comes naturally to corporate goons with a scrap of authority. "We need to talk to that guy you have in custody. The boss wants info from him, and she wants it now."

The guard protests. "That doesn't mean I can just--"

"There's no time for this!" you shout at him. "This building is about to come under attack by that man's hired guns. We have to extract the information from him and secure the research facilities. You need to let us in immediately!"
