Ana was waiting outside the base to meet this Satya. After Angela explained that Katya Volskaya was definitely involved with Talon somehow, Ana was put on introduction duty as Pharah interrogated Widow and Reaper again. She waited patiently for someone to make their presence known. Her sniper rifle was prepared just in case Angela's optimistic idea didn't come true. In the distance, she spotted someone starting to appear. It was several more minutes before Ana could make out it was a woman, even more before she was aware the glinting of light wasn't from a weapon, but a bionic arm. She could finally make out details after 15 minutes of waiting. She was wearing a blue dress that was way too clean to be travelled in, black boots, and had a meticulously clean, left metal arm. Her hair was straight and black, and she strode with purpose. Ana kept her rifle trained on the woman, not trusting someone who appeared so clean, she practically shimmered. The woman paused, making Ana tighten her grip. She brushed off her shoulder, and continued walking. Ana's grip loosened slightly. The woman stopped 70 yards from Ana, looking the elderly woman evenly. Ana noticed how out of place she seemed in the desert: a meticulously careful woman with high heels and futuristic technology. "State your name, rank, and reason for being here." Ana stated firmly, lowering her rifle to her side but making sure the woman knew she was in control.
"My name is Satya Vaswani, I have no rank, and my purpose for coming here is to communicate with someone to remove Vishkar Industries from the area." Ana noticed how carefully she spoke, but her voice almost shook when she said Vishkar.
"And why do you wish to do so?"
"They lied to me." The answer was kept short. Ana's eye furrowed.
"Explain."
"They said I was creating a better world. Instead, I was allowing chaos into people's lives that did not deserve such a fate. They work with terrorists, and they are terrorists." Satya looked around. "…Why is Lucio located in such a desolate area?" *So she doesn't know who we are: she only knows we're hunting Talon.*
"How did you receive Lucio's number?" Satya remained silent for a while.
"…A boy gave it to me. I am not sure who it was. I was located in Illios when he did so."
"Could you give me a description, then?"
"He was Japanese and black hair. He didn't seem pleased. He had an Omnic that glowed green close by him." *Genji was in Illios, then. And if someone with him gave her any kind of number, there was a reason.* Ana's rifle lowered, and she sighed.
"Come inside. You must be tired." Satya followed her obediently, sitting down after brushing off the seat she was offered. "How are you so clean, Satya? You are quite a long way from India."
"I'm afraid I do not understand your question."
"How did you manage to keep the dust away?" Satya blinked slowly.
"…I did not, though I wish I had. May I bathe before we continue our conversation?"
"Of course." Satya began to walk away when Lucio nearly bumped into her. Both visibly tightened.
"…Hello, Lucio Correia dos Santos."
"…Hey, Symmetra." Ana saw the woman's lips press together, her hands push against her hips as if she was fighting her instincts.
"May I pass?" She said stiffly.
"Sure." He stepped to the side, and Satya quickly moved forward. Lucio visibly loosened up as she disappeared.
"Can I help you, Lucio?"
"I was trying to find Lena. Soldier wanted to talk to her outside of a meeting."
"I'm sure she found him. You clearly aren't pleased about our decision about Satya."
"I shouldn't let it bother me. She wasn't even directly involved with what they did in my home town, but…"
"It's alright to be unsettled." They heard a grunt in the hallway, and Ana got up faster than Lucio could react, but both arrived at the scene at the same time. Locarno had Satya against the wall, fire in his eyes.
"Sua p***! Você queimou tudo! (You b****! You burned everything!)" Satya seemed almost horrified at the surprisingly strong young man, too surprised to struggle. Lucio yanked Locarno away roughly.
"Cuidado com a língua! (Watch your language!) What are you doing, Locarno?"
"She killed mom!" Satya didn't move, catching her breath, as did Ana as she processed the statement.
"Satya, please continue onwards." Satya hesitated, but stayed.
"I wasn't aware of what they did." Both Lucio and the struggling teen paused, looking at the suddenly quiet woman. She almost seemed sad, if it hadn't been for her perfectly straight posture and impeccably clean clothing. "I wasn't aware of the fires they caused, or the violent methods they used. I only knew they helped people. Then I discovered they didn't, that it was all a lie for a perfect world that would never exist. I am sorry for what they did." She folded her hands over her stomach, looking at both Brazilians, who had stopped all movement in surprise.
"…You didn't know?" Locarno asked. His voice grew. "How could you not know what they did?! HOW COULD YOU-" Lucio covered Locarno's mouth, anger flashing. Ana was surprised at how drastically different he seemed with true rage in his blood.
"You swore. I told you how I feel about that!"
"She is a-" Lucio firmly covered Locarno's mouth again.
"Go. Back. To. Training. Now." Locarno grumbled, but nodded in defeat. It was the first time Lucio had acted in discipline towards the boy. Ana watched in surprise as Lucio offered his hand, smiling warmly. "I guess we were both wrong, huh?"
"…Pardon?"
"You Vishkar do know what it means to be free." Satya paused, then smiled warmly. It broke the firm nature of the woman, and Ana could finally see past the strictness. The woman was hurting more than she would ever reveal.
"And you didn't steal from them: they stole from you." They shook hands, and Satya said swiftly, pulling away rather abruptly, "I am in great need of a shower. Afterwards, I will explain what I discovered at Vishkar." Ana nodded in agreement, and watched Lucio direct the woman around. *So the one who will have the most animosity towards her isn't Lucio, but Locarno.*
