Chapter 8: Questioning of Peace

Overwatch Agency

Melody reported back to the agency after her first successful mission at King's Row.

"You are back in one piece," said Ana.

"That's how I roll."

"Melody, do you happen to know a woman named Symmetra?"

"No."

Ana shows her Symmetra's mugshot."

"Symmetra is a architect at Vishkar Industries in India," said Winston. "We recently got in contact with her. She is interested in meeting you in person."

Melody traversed the streets in hopes of finding Symmetra.

"Searching for me?" Symmetra appeared behind Melody through teleportation.

"You must be Symmetra."

"You are correct, Miss Melody Jones."

"I'd ask how you know me, but..."

"I have done my research on you, Melody. A war hero pertaining peace, but allowed her birth home to die."

"I tried to save it..."

"The chaos you endured... I cannot imagine."

"We have successfully rebuilt Uganda, but we have more work to do, like shelters for the animals, education for children, as well as food and medical equipment."

"Fundamentals of peace. So tell me. Why are you here?"

"Talon was responsible for Uganda's demise, more specifically, Sombra."

"Aw, yes. She invaded your world, earned your trust and betrayed you. Sombra ie well-endowed in breaching security. Has she hacked your armband?"

"Not yet."

Talon

"Do you plan to take your revenge on her?"

"I was told by Tracer that a war is breaking out here with these "Omnics.""

"I see. How do you plan to achieve victory?"

"I'm not sure. With this crisis going on, taking them on would be a waste of time. I have a feeling taking on Sombra would be a mistake, but she must pay for my country's destruction."

"So Sombra," said Moira. "This Melody girl seems to have a vendetta against you."

"So it seems."

"Her armband is fascinating. Like you, she can also breach security, but she also has a series of weapons, rockets, a shotgun, a laser system, a retractable shield..."

"Her armband is of no concern to me."

"You do not wish to obtain it for research?"

"No. When next we meet, it is expected to be pure combat. But first, I know she'll have Overwatch at her side against the Omnics. I will meet with her soon."
