How's it so many of you are runnin' about and not bringin' back any stories with you? Some of us could use it you know! Instead of havin' 'em all dumped out when they drop those spots on the news, anyway.
[Ahem.
Tracer is broadcasting from the monitor room, where she's clearly been serving out her duties with as much patience as she can muster (read: not a lot). Even with all of the activity, Tracer can't deal with the tedium. She's rigged up a way to continuously spin herself in a chair while she spends time dispatching Legionnaires as is expected of her. Even with that, she's incredibly restless, and has herself perched in the window, lounging on the sill in a manner that probably would be considered unsafe if she weren't capable of rewinding time around her.
Overwatch's systems were mostly automated. When a warning went out, the Strike Team left -- and that was the end of it. This dispatching nonsense makes her thankful that it never got quite as large, but also makes her nostalgic.
That's not the only thing, but. Well, its a big part of it. And while she's trying to think of a way to bring up that first thing without outing herself, she can be seen tapping her fingers nervously on the big glowing machine on her chest.]
...speakin' of stories. How many of you lot got families back where you came from? Maybe a better half...
[She pauses here -- not too long though. Don't want to be suspicious.]
...do you think they're still lookin' for you? It's been a tick, hasn't it?

no subject
[He nods along, because she knows what he's after, by now. It's not that hard to guess. With that second comment, however, she gets his attention, though it sounds too good to be true. There's a lot that doesn't quite line up.]
I'm listening.
[Though what is he supposed to be able to do from here? Information is one thing--making these people pay is another entirely.]
no subject
[It's a short, simple confession: she's watched the fallout of it continue on for months, now - how easily the galaxy at large could simply access anything they wanted by doing absolutely nothing.
A little easy mode, sure, but sometimes it's nice to cheat the system so thoroughly. Especially when you've been chasing a vicious ghost for ten years now...before most people knew there was anything truly wrong.]
no subject
So I'd have my answers, but I wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
[Not as long as he's stuck here.]
no subject
[Eventually they might go back— they might not even have a choice in it— depending on how everything works here. The Time Trapper. Chronoblivion.
Prepare for the best, plan for the worst, and always stack the deck in your favor if you have the opportunity.]
no subject
[He seems like he's considering it, at least, but the Anywhere Machine is something so beyond him that Jack isn't quite sure how they're supposed to begin. Should he subject himself to a Legacy? Try to get a look at the machine himself? Would it even show him anything he didn't already know?]
Where do we start?
