"So…what are we looking at?" Mei asked Winston. Winston gathered Tracer, Soldier, Mercy, Genji, McCree, Mei, , and Lucio together in his lab to show them the image of the robot. Winston rolled his eyes at Mei's question and said, "The assailant, Mei. The assailant! He used a cloaking device to hide his presence."

"Big deal, there are plenty of omnics out there that can cloak." McCree pointed out.

"That maybe so but I don't think this is an omnic." Winston told him. "The schematics show no sign of omnic design or manufacturing. I think this is just a standard robot."

Winston typed in a search for any make and model of the robot through Athena's search engine. After a moment of searching, Athena read the information, "So far, I found only one maker of this model of robot, but it's impossible for this to be true."

"We'll take what you can give us." Lucio told Athena.

"Very well. This model is known as a spy-bot made by Gray Mann Robotics Inc. It was put on file after Gray Mann's disappearance almost two hundred years ago."

"Disappearance? Two hundred years? How is that possible?" Tracer asked out loud.

"Well, that I can't tell you, but I can tell you this; two hundred years ago, several of Gray Mann's factories and refineries were targets in a series of bombings. Upon further investigation into some of the bombings, authorities uncovered remains of several automaton remnants similar to this. They were put into lock up and no one bothered with them again. The robots were uncovered after Mann's disappearance."

"Athena, who was responsible for the bombings?" Winston asked. Athena ran a search on the culprits and found the file, "Several mercenaries who went rouge. They were connected to two known rival companies of Gray Mann's. These companies hired mercenaries for odd jobs. These companies were simply known as RED and BLU. From RED, we have Mishka Bargrov, born 1977 in Kiev, Russia. Scott Branch, born 1993 in Detroit, MI. Colin O'Hara alias Duncan Wolfknight, born 1990 in Belfast, Ireland. Hans Burke, born 1977 in Bavaria, Germany. From BLU, we have Thomas Mundy, born 1987 in a dislocated area in Australia. Sarah Kelly, born 1995 in Chicago, IL. Rick Muldoon, born 1981 in Jackson, MS. These seven were connected to a series of murders, bombings, and acts of espionage against affiliates of Mann, including the owner of RED and BLU, Saxton Hale and C.E.O. of RED, Birch Kurgan. The seven of them were sentenced to cryogenic stasis until further notice. By the looks of things, the officials forgot the group even existed."

As Athena discussed the group, she brought up their mug shots. As they were displayed, everyone observed them and studied the faces. Though Scott, Sarah, Rick and Burke were calm in the appearance, Mishka, Duncan, and Tom's scorn towards the camera was enough to send chills down some of the Overwatch operatives' spines.

Winston asked, "Why did they do these acts?"

"Though the group mostly kept quiet, it was Colin O'Hara who revealed that these acts were to stop Gray Mann from creating an army. He said that the bombings were to destroy the factories producing killer robots. He confessed to killing Hale because, according to O'Hara, Hale sold RED and BLU out and tried to train the mercenaries for a global takeover. That's why they eradicated most of the operatives working for both companies. It was also reported by Kelly that they killed the people who worked for Hale behind the scenes because they backed him. They were able to kill Kurgan, but the C.E.O. of BLU, Frank Scappeli, was able to escape their assault."

"So why were they arrested?" Genji asked. "It seemed like they were trying to protect the world."

"Authorities didn't see it that way. All they saw was a group of blood thirsty mercenaries. The seven of them were found guilty and sentenced without the consultant of a jury. Even after the discovery of the robot remains in one of the factories, nobody considered a retrial. The seven of them were simply forgotten."

"That's unfair!" Hana cried. "The evidence supports their innocence and they're still punished."

"Well that only means one thing." Winston proclaimed. "We have to overturn their conviction and have them released."

"I don't think so!"

Everyone turned to Jack.

"These people are terrorists! Let them be locked up!"

"Jack, they were trying to help!" Mercy argued.

"They took things into their own hands and they killed people!"

"If they didn't, innocent people would have died!" Lena responded.

"Like the omnic? Yeah, they did a great job!"

"Alright that's enough!" Winston shouted as he slammed his fist on the ground, catching everyone's attention. When he calmed down, he pinched the bridge of his nose and asked Athena, "What were the circumstances of Gray's disappearance?"

Athena scanned her search engine and reported, "The day of the trial, all of Gray Mann's assets disappeared along with his eight year daughter Olivia. At the same time, Scappeli and several mercenaries still under contract of BLU disappeared as well. Authorities tried to investigate, but all of Mann's remaining factories and refineries were demolished immediately after his disappearance. They were believed to be work of the mercenaries after their incarceration."

There was a silence in the room as everyone gathered the information in their heads. So much to take in, so much mystery, so much speculations. A two hundred year old case suddenly brought to light. Why now of all times?

The lone island in the vast chaotic sea was covered mostly in a large factory. Inside the factory, construction lines build robots and weapons. Canisters poured molten metal into molds and cooled off to make the exoskeletons of the robots. Furnaces roared loud as they melted scraps of refined metal and the heat in the entire assembly line was so unbearable, any human who walked in would immediately die. Thankfully, the entire area was closed off by a protective barrier complete with heat proof windows. At one of the windows, Gray looked down at production. Olivia skipped over next to him to watch with him. Scappeli walked up next to Gray and asked him, "Is everything shipshape, sir?"

"Yes, very good." Gray told him in his throaty tone. Shortly afterwards, a BLU spy walked up to Gray with a manila envelope and handed it to him. Gray opened it and read the contents then groaned.

"What is it, daddy?" Olivia asked him. He looked down at her, back at the contents and said, "It's the mercenaries. A group called Overwatch is fighting to overturn their convictions. So far, it looks like they're being set free."
