"Snake, are you familiar with Jack Morrison?"
"If you're asking I met him, I haven't."
"He was the first— and last— Strike-Commander for the entire Overwatch organization. There was no one above to tell him how to win; just him and his teamates to conduct their missions."
"You don't like that, Colonel? No one from behind to tell the soldiers where to move, and who to shoot?"
"That's not it at all. You've shown me, time and time again, how vital it can sometimes be to operate off-the-book. And Overwatch was an honest try at an internationally recognized level to do just that. Jack Morrison grew up in the United States' corn belt region, and was a natural candidate for the task force's original members."
"Back then, wouldn't that mean he was required to undergo gene therapy? The worst legacy of Big Boss lives on…"
"Yes, but not from Big Boss. Only the first wave of Genome Soldiers had what were identified as "Soldier Genes," and those were discontinued. These new-grade ones are meant to keep the body in top-shape, even in old age. Snake, our databases would say that Jack Morrison would still be fit for military action."
"Now, wait a minute. You don't mean to tell me that you also buy those Solider:76 conspiracies, do you?"
"It may not be a conspiracy. The masked vigilante the world has dubbed Solider:76 has selected very specific financial institutions, corporations, even retired Overwatch watchpoints to attack. Only someone that was high up in Overwatch would know them."
"I still don't buy it."
"Remember you supposedly ended Big Boss' life, by your personal hands, twice? Remember how he still survived?"
"...Fine. Let's say Jack Morrison actually is Solider:76. What could he be possibly looking for, that he doesn't know already?"
"From someone of our experiences… He's most likely looking for answers. Overwatch suddenly collapses, and there's still ambiguity for its political allies."
"An old soldier, trying to finish an old fight… and he's not ready to turn a new leaf. You may make a believer out of me yet, Colonel. Maybe I'll catch this Solider:76, and ask him myself."
