Six months have passed since the get-together at Christmas. Overwatch has laid low, doing small missions such as taking down Talon operatives and criminal organizations in Europe. A few things happened globally, such as a Bastion unit being spotted in Nothern Sweden, Doomfist invading Numbami to retrieve his gauntlet (which was being displayed in the Heritage Museum there), legendary streamer and hero D.va defending her city from reactivated Omnics, the Deadlock Gang was locked up again by an unknown vigilante, and Blizzard World opened. The rest of the crew and I watched its debut and even went on a few rides there. 

Things seemed to be going alright, and while Overwatch's popularity was rising again, that didn't mean the world was saved. It was indeed far from it. After June, Athena leaked news of an attack on France from Null Sector. Turns out that was going to be true. On July 18th, Null Sector launched a full-scale invasion of Paris, and its military was powerless to stop them. They managed to hold them off for now, giving time for us to come. This would be Overwatch's most significant assignment since Operation: Gauntlet. Myself, Winston, Tracer, and Mei would go to protect the citizens.

Dad sighed as I magnetically attached the gun to my back. 

"It's been a while since you've been on a mission this large," Dad said. 

"I know, but the people need us. The Null Sector will not stop until they get what they want. We have to save them," I replied.

"You do. Just make sure you stay safe, ok?" He asked. 

"I will, I promise," I replied. 

After gearing up ultimately, I hugged my dad before heading to Winston's lab for the meeting.

I opened the doors to Winston's lab and entered, seeing the place now organized and cleaned up. I saw Winston standing in the middle of the room with Mei and Tracer behind him. 

"Everyone's here. Good, let's hurry," Winston ordered before going to the table behind him, turning on a hologram chip that would show everything he'll soon say.

 I lined up next to Tracer and Mei. 

"Ahem, ladies and gentlemen, you all know why you're here. Null Sector is back on the attack. This time in Paris, France. We don't know why, but they're moving fast. As of late, several military garrisons have been taken over, and almost all of Paris' communications are either shut down or hacked. France managed to buy us some time, however. 2 out of 3 Null Sector's military squadrons were blown up in an airstrike. However, those same pilots who made those shots were shot down by an unknown weapon. The last military squadron is moving in on Rue des Francs-Bourgeois, and most of the police force there has been defeated. We know that at least 300 Null Sector troops are attacking the remaining civilians. Our mission is to get the remaining citizens to safety, defeat Null Sector, and secure the area," Winston ordered.
