Sup! Before we proceed, just wanna let you all know that this chapter will focuse again on talon.
Now that being said here's chapter 25!
The meaning of Improvement
Talon Main Headquarters
"Bloody hell!" Pyro -76 shouted as he turned to face the soldier talking to him.
"The engineer...Knows, sir..."
"He too!"
The soldier flinched as he backed a little. The robot stared stared at the soldier as he spoke.
"The bloody engineer knew and he didn't even bothered telling me!?"
The soldier was holding a tablet and began to looked throught as he gave a response.
"Sir...The engineer was involve. The medic was supplied with chemicals that he needed for his experimentaions and the engineer supplied him sir."
The pyro growled with his response.
"He even supplied the medic for his experiments that i did not grant him permission!"
At this point the two were being heard inside the meeting room with many talon soldiers and operatives listening to their conversation.
"Should i notify Miss Olivia sir?" The soldier asked as he walked up and handed the tablet to the robot.
"Tell her. She isn't going to like this." The pyro replied.
He took the tablet and looked at the screen, were footages from body cameras equipped by their gunners. Those were sent to russia to take out the overwatch agents in the factory, it was around that time talon discovered about the medic and engineer's secret.
The pyro saw each footages had been offlined after the gunners were killed. The soldier he was talking to spoke again but this he was shaking and obviously nervous.
"Sir..."
The pyro closed the tablet and turned his head to the soldier.
"There's something you really need to know. It's a serious problem."
"What is it?" the pyro replied.
The soldier cleared his throat and continued.
"The V3... It was suppose to be transported to our camp in China..."
"I'm listening."
"It had arrived, actually...But..."
The pyro leaned a bot closer waiting for the soldier to continue.
"But what?"
"Overwatch...We recieved message from the camp stating that had attacked them. We tried to get more info from them but got nothing. Sir if i'm correct i bet, overwatch has just raided the camp if not for information as they always try to find it is safe to assume that they took the rocket." The soldier finished.
There was no response for a moment, the then pyro turned to him and gave him the tablet as the robot walked out of the room.
Heading straight to Olivia's office the pyro entered to find olivia standing in front of the window watching the view from outside.
"I expected you to stop by." Her slight deep feminine voice was heard.
"Ma'am." Pyro began.
Olivia shook her head and walked to her seat behind her desk. She motions for the pyro to sit by the chair in front of her. The pyro complied and waited for her to speak.
"I was walking by and heard your conversation with our communications officer. Quite surprised how overwatch managed to pull through our numbers though. But then again, they might have the interest in the V3 we have transported to china."
"You're not mad? They just-"
The pyro was cut off by olivia simply shooking her head.
"What good would it do if i would overreact to that issue? My purpose is to achieve my goal. Taking what i could get from the weak. Not to go paranoid by hearing words that our super weapon is taken." She crossed her legs and straigthen herself as she spoke again, this time seriously.
"Now never mind that. We have plenty of V3s on the way. That is just one they have, and besides how will they use it? In what else could they use it? On us? I'd like to see them try. If they can. Now, are you going to tell me something else that i do not know?"
"Well, you heard it and spoke of it now. But i have something i'm really pissed off right now. Ma'am do you remember 115's representation of his experiment as improving our soldiers?"
Olivia nodded as she listens.
"Well, the experimentations didn't went very well. Instead it failed hundreds of times. I then told the doctor to stop it for it will do no good to the loss of our men in the alternative HQ. Hence, he asked for three more, if it works then his presentation is a go. If it doesn't it stops right there. Just like the hundreds of his patients the last three died. But even worse, they carried what seemed like a desease that they used to attack the other personel. Either bite or scratch was the way of the desease's use to kill the victim. Turning the person insane and attack others. I had to kill the three since there was no other way of trying to pin them down and try to cure their desease. Even worse, the personel that were attacked later on had the same fate, they went insane and tried to attack others. Luckily the guards managed to prevent it from happening, they killed off those insane ones. I wasn't around that time and i was told by Soldier, telling me to take control of 115 since the doctor doesn't listen to the other bot agents themselves."
The pyro finished as he waited for a response.
"insubordination." Olivia said looking stoic.
"I had enough bad news for the day, one is enough. So i'm going to leave this to you pyro. You are the only one with full potential above your companions. You take on the medic, try at least to convince him to stop. But if he doesn't then, do what you must."
The pyro nodded and stood up only to be heard olivia continuing.
"One last thing, the captured agents should be extracted from there to our new base under construction."
"As in now?" The robot asked.
"Yes. I want them alive."
The robot nodded in response and left.
T.A.H:
Flashback
Winston's POV
The night was silent and coldness surrounded around our cells, i couldn't tell if it was to be cold in here or talon just wanted to bother us with coldness in sleeping. Not sure, but i assumed the first one it is. The usual talon guarding us were replaced for tonight's nightshift, the ones taking the shift weren't talkative and friendly unlike Chris and Kate, the ones guarding us and the ones we've known so far. Looking at the other cells i noticed the others asleep except from junkrat who was playing cards with mcree, i chuckled and turned my attention to jack who just sat on the floor thinking. I went to approach him and sat beside him.
"You okay?" I asked.
He didn't responded for a short moment but after, replied.
"I'm getting tired just sitting here. Like an old man waiting for his time to come for him."
I looked down as i closed my eyes for a short time and replied.
"Well, it seems like that. But not because we're stuck here doesn't mean we're going to die. At least don't lose hope jack."
He gave a short chuckle but his expression became down Even i feel the same, if only i can try to hack their security systems but i couldn't.
I tried to close my eyes and to erase the thouts in my mind, but fear has entered my brain, with the thought of what me and the others were told, by chris and kate. They mentioned recently that the robot agent Medic - 115 was talking with their engineer about experimenting on people, the pair of soldiers didn't get that much information as they coincidently passed by the engineer's workshop, at the moment they did they heard about using one of us for experiment. That scared me even if was only a small part of information. I can only hope for us to get out of here, which i believe impossible.I then heard jack spoke."There seems to be something bothering you. You okay winston?"
I nodded and replied.
"I'm worried about all of us jack."
"Hey it's alright. We're going to be okay, as long as we're all together no harm is headed our way."
I smiled and gave a nod.
Silence after, the others were already asleep only jack and i were awake, aside from the two soldiers who both had chairs sitting on both side of the door.
"Don't worry winston, if anything happens i will make sure that they will have to go through me first."
Hearing those made me smile a little but still kept me worried. I was about to say something in response but then suddenly a green smoke, some sort of gas started coming out of the air conditioner. It was making some gassy noise something like someone's using a tear gas. The green gas quickly woke everyone, i looked at jack who was trying get the attention of the two soldiers but only to find them on the floor which i assumed unconcious or maybe, dead? I'm not sure. I began to panic as i saw a few fell onto the floor of their cells and so did the rest of the others.
"Winston!"
I was frozen, panicking inside and most of all...Afraid.
"Winston!"
Jack was shaking me trying to get my attention.
"Jack..."
was all i could say as i fell onto the floor. My vision went to blur as i saw the glass of our cell slid open. Jack quickly turned around to see two white colored hazmat suits and began to grab him on both sides and started dragging him out of the cell as he tries to struggle from their grip. I tried to get up only to fail. My eyes began to close as i finally fell unconcious but one last thing i could remember was jack screaming.
End of flashback
"Jack!" Winston shouted my eyes fully open.
He looked around to find myself on my bed, the others looking at him from their cells.
"Winston are you okay?"
Winston turned to my left on the next cell to see reinhardt with a worried expression. He looked at the others, they didn't saw and i
he has to tell them. Winston sighed as he began to speak and after telling them they were silent.
"They took jack?" Ana began. Couldn't even continue.
"Yes, ana. They took him." Winston replied as he looked down.
"I couldn't do anything and... I..."
"It's alright winston. It's okay." Ana said in a calming tone.
It was obvious that she was trying to hide her sadness, though everyone couldn't even help but stayed quiet. Im what seemed minutes winston cleared his throat and began.
"They're going to experiment on him." Winston said.
"He even said that he has to be first before us." He continued.
"He's doing it for us. Jack is doing us zhe favor of being experimented at first, probably to stall time at least." Reinhardt said.
The agents were quiet for some time but as minutes passed by they heard the sound of the door exit opening. They turned their heads to see a short familiar masked person.
"Is it true!? They took him!?" The feminine voice could be heard from under the mask.
"Yes. They took him. They took jack." Winston said as he looked down.
The short woman entered and closed the door behind her as she grabbed a chair and sat in the middle of the alleyway in front oc the cells.
"I'm sorry. Really i'am." The woman began as she toom a deep breath.
"Truth is chris and i are really the ones to guard you. But suddenly the doctor dismissed our job, last night. With two alternate soldiers to take our nightshift and us on patrol duty."
At this point winston looked up at her and responded.
"If i'm correct this 'Doctor' is the robot medic?"
"Yes. He is. Pretty much the one being bossy around here even though he isn't."
Winston was having something in his mind, not the fact of 76 being experimented but something that just came in his mind and asked the soldier.
"Um kate, how will things go or what will happen if you are found out that you and chris are having a connection to us. I fear that those devices in your hands will be triggered to execute you." Winston said eyeing the strange watch on the soldier's wrist.
The soldier named Kate sighed and responded.
"As long as me and chris aren't caught were fine."
She said but then changed the subject to where it was before.
"Again. Winston, i'am very sorry about your friend 76. We didn't really knew about that happening until now. You need to believe me if we are only making friends with you just to easily get experimenting on you well that's not true."
She said as she looked at the rest of the remaining agents reassuring them of her and her companion has nothing to do with what happened during the night of 76 being talen away.
"Kate we believe you. I mean yeah, they took one of the most valueable member of overwatch but if you were only pretending to be nice then you wouldn't be bothering about seeing us." Winston replied now smiling.
The soldier noddes in thanks but then reached her hands for her helmet and began taking it off. She place the helmet down to her lap and then peeled off her gas mask. The group were surprised, as in really surprised npt only they became friends with some of talon's units as well as getting to their soft spots they weren't expecting a talon without having their face covered. A young skinny woman, a few pimples on her cheeks with her red hair tied in a bun.
"Were not allowed to tale off our mask, aside from the rule of keeping it on we are also adviced to keep it on since this is the underground and onto the floor is much likely inhabited by various laboratories." Kate said explaining to the agents.
The agents listened and finally any of them can respond.
"So y'all are a redhead with pimples and braces huh." Mcree was first to speak.
"I totally get it! She's a bloody nerd!" Junkrat said as he burst out laughing.
"Jamison! Show some respect!"
Ana said as she shot the junker a look and went back to the soldier with a smile. Junkrat quickly went quiet for that.
"It's okay, my superiors tell me that all the time." Kate said smiling back with her braces exposed.
The soldier also reached for her pocket and pulled out her glasses putting it on.
"Vell...Zhis is, awkward." Reinhardt said twiddling his thumbs.
Everyone was quiet at the moment until a soft giggle from kate was heard.
"It's not awkward guys. Not until that robo tin can take away another of you guys." Kate said as she frowned.
Opening his eyes 76 found himself strapped on an operting table, he looked at the figures surrounded him and saw such familiar faces. His eyes lit wide open as he felt a sting of a syringe injected to him. Not because of the sting, but the surprise of the exact same group of scientists in his nightmare during his arrival at T.A.H but what shocked 76 was the most familiar looking figure he is now seeing was the last he saw injected a serum on him in his dream. But the figure wasn't holding a syringe, instead the figure only stepped forward revealing itself as Medic - 115.
"Ah, i see you're avake. Vut, i vill need you to be preserved since...You und zhe other older members of overwatch are too old i zhink it vill be good to start vith zhe younger ones." The robot said chuckling.
"If you dare touch them i'll-"
76 was cut off by the maniacal laughter of the robot.
"Hahahahahaha! Vhatever you say. Now open zhe pod! Und make sure to keep it on zhe low temperature as possible."
At this point 76 was struggling over the restraints wrapped around him. He was then lifted by several hazmat men to the so called pod. Turning his head towards his heased direction he saw a big pill shaped pod like a large vial connected to wires and a cooling temperature. The glass of the vial opened splitimg itself in half as a cooling sensation was all felt by 76. He noticed one hazmat opened the straps and began removing it as well as the rest while the other hazmats kept their grip on him. 76 was then placed in the pod, of course with no strength he couldn't resist which he assumed was the effect of the syringe injected to him. But as the hazmats began walking away while a few scientists began typing on their computers, wires connected to the pod he is in. 76 saw the medic approaching him chuckling.
"Zhis isn't quite perfect. Vut once i experimented on you, ja. Zhat vill make you even better zhan perfect."
Said the robot as he turned away and headed out of the room.
76 wanted to do something at least, he wanted to at least get out of the pod but the syringe injected to him made him unable to move, plus he was even unanle to speak. His vision then began to blur as he knew that there was nothing he can do. He knew and he jated to admit it. But he was done for, there is no other chances of him bailimg out the others neither evrn himself if he's unable to move. Vision blurred even more 76 decided to close his eyes as he instead spoke im his mind. 'It's better me than them. I'd rather have myself be done for than having them others here in my place' 76 said in his mind still eyes closed. Finally, he felt unconcious as he felt the freezing temperature inside the pod he's in.
Inside the laboratory the medic was laughing, satisfied at least that he gets to achieve his goal. A ahame the Engineer wasn't where he is to witness his one close step to his success, but it doesn't matter now. What matters is that he's so close to 'improve' talon's soldiers as the medic himself like to say. But as he is working on some red colored chemical inside a small vial, the door opened startling the medic as he accidentally dropped the vial onto the floor. He quickly spun around with a glare tp to see an officer stood in the doorway.
"Doctor, we are about to deploy troops to Cuba."
"Und vhy should i care?" The robot replied with a hint of disgust as he glanced an the chemical spilled on the floor.
"Sir, Miss Olivia wanted to set up a camp to store the V3s that are to be delivered. It appears that this base is to be shut down duw to overwatch outmatching our camp in China. All personel are to be notified and to be extracted to Cuba withing the next two days." The officer paused eyeing the red chimical.
"It's nothing to be concerned off! It isn't harmful!"
The medic quickly said as he grabbed a dried towel and began wiping the chemical off.
The officer cleared his throat and continued.
"Overwatch is hunting down all of nearest talon camps they get close into. Eversince they took the V3 from China they started
raiding our camps, which i'm sure for information to know more about our plans."
"Zhen ve leave in two days. Vut do not interrupt zhe doctor from his experents." The medic replied simply.
"Right. About that, Pyro - 76 gave me a call telling me that he will be here tommorow for inspection. He also says that he does not want any more experiments. By mean experiments, he wanted the captives alive as Miss Olivia told him." And with that the officer left.
The medic cursed in german but then stood up and walked to a table. He grabbed one vial silar to thr one he dropped, he then grabbed another. A green colored this time. The medic opened both vials as he began to put both chemicals on one test tube mixing it. After seconds the mesic chuckled as he stared at the chemical. 'If zhis V3 vill ruin my achievement, zhen i vill ruin theirs und their V3 follovers The medic maniacally laughed and later on exited the lab with the chemical in his hands.
In the hangar were various talon soldiers some with guns while others typing on computers. A large talon ship was to ascend and is to be deployed to raid a factory in Tokyo Japan.
"This is Charlie - 217 Purge requesting for emmidiate departure to Japan." The pilot said.
"HQ to Charlie - 217 Purge permission granted, goodluck out there." Replied from the radio.
The ship began to hover as it flew off. About a hundred soldiers were on board minus the pilots. The rest were in the ammunition storage preparing while a few scattered around the large ship little did those few wandering around noticed a small broken vial and spilled chemical right in the corner of the ship near the ammunition storage.
Tokyo Japan:
The group of talon soldiers managed to successfully raid a factory. It wasn't a well protected one. And since overwatch has been in lack of agents to deploy it gave the group a chance to take all the chemicals as well as some technology from the factory itself. A half group battalion awaited for their extraction to arrive with several vans awaiting with them, the group had been waiting for a straight twelve hours for extraction. Contacting the ship they get no response if not from any of the pilots not even a word from anyone aboard the ship. The group had been getting more impatient as they wait but even so they kept on contacting the ship for extraction. Two more hours of waiting a large talon ship arrived descending at the grassy feilds with soldiers sighing in relief. But one thing bothered everyone to make them groan. The ship's doors are closed.
"Okay first off making us wait for a total of fourthteen hours and now they're here they're just going to land without even letting is all in!?" One shouted frustrated.
As the first finished the others began shouting complaing about being exaisted.
"Alright! Calm down! We'll get them to ppen the hatches!" The leader said.
"Corporal." Said the leader.
A soldier then nodded as he began to counicate to the ship's pilots.
Charlie - 217 Purge
A talon soldier slowly walked towards the cockpit. A mic on the panel stood directly at the lone soldier.
"This is Tango October - 245 to Charlie - 217 do you copy?" A male voice was heard from the radio.
"I'am repeating again. This is Tango October - 245 to Charlie - 217 do you copy?"
The lone soldier just stared at the mic as he heard the voice again speak.
"Sir, their comm is on but neither any of the pilots are responding."
"Alright. Charlie - 217. This is Captain James William of Tango October - 245 and we are carrying precious cargo. We have tech team bypassing through the hatches of the ship so prepare to be boarded." Said another voice.
The lone soldier turned his head on his shoulder to hear the sound of the ship's doors opening as he began to hear various voices echoing in the ship. The soldier let out a growl and began to make his way to the source of the voices.
All done! But this is only the hald part. Well to be clear i did some editing on this chapter especially on the next one. I was kind of not enjoying in the way of the robot medic's character being portrayed like this. Please don't hate me but in tf2 the Medic class is totally my least favorite. Though i thought of...Killing him now is the best time. Well not all of them though coz i had other plans for the other surviving robots but speaking of surviving the robot heavy is still alive, if your wondering. But then again i did some editing on the chapters, it's why i got a little pauae to publish. Anyways, i hoped you enjoyes this chapter and the next one is the one chapter i had done much editing about will be next.
Chapter 26 coming soon!
