It was a complete surprise to me when we were all put into this large transport ship and set in rout to Ecopoint: Antarctica. No one told me where we were going until we were already in the ship. The flight was long, but there was always something to do in these large ships. Every operative was ready for combat, dressed in their combat uniforms and gear. Hana was in her mech, playing a videogame on the screen. Lena was with Winston in the cock pit, the gorilla head to toe in a white combat suit. Genji sat on one of the couches with the commander and Dr. Ziegler, all looking at peace, especially the doctor who was with her head stuck in a good book. Ana and Reinhardt were chatting in the corner of the room, both of them looking very different when they were in their battle uniforms. Reinhardt looked like a knight in shining armor ready to break through an army all on his own. I wore my combat boots, brown pants and black shirt, my jacket over my shoulders with my visor up and weapon in hand.

"What exactly are we looking at commander?" I asked Jack, watching him sit up and rub his neck. He hasn't moved since we took off so he must be as stiff as a board.

"We're heading to a remote training facility in Antarctica. We had an agent take care of it while we were gone. It wasn't long, but I hope she kept herself occupied with the training bots."

"Mei is probably fine. She is use to the cold climate in Antarctica." Winston said as he maneuvered the transport into a halt, the entire ship landing with a thud.

"So, what exactly is our purpose here?" I asked, watching every one walk out of the main hatch.

"You'll see." The commander said with a smirk, putting on his visor before he headed out with the rest of the agents. I didn't know why, but I had a bad feeling about this.

Hours later I sat on the edge of one of the rails of the outside of the base, my coat on me to protect me from the cold. Even with the heavy brown coat I was still shivering. I looked over to Ana in her sniping position, watching her signal me forward. I nodded and starred to walk through the middle of the training area, the snow under my feet crumbling with every step. I watched Reinhardt move to walk with me, both of us heading to the beginning point of the enemy team. This was a 3 on 3 elimination round, and we were facing Tracer, D.Va, and Genji. Operative names were used in these training sequences. I was able to choose my own name, and I chose Befall, the German word for infestation.

"They are due east of the starting room, Befall you go in first, Reinhardt will bring you support." Ana spoke to us through the intercom, and I ran into the room ready to attack. The cold temperature must have gotten to us because I suddenly couldn't move and I was freezing. When I looked back Reinhardt was frozen in place, and he was shot from behind by Tracer. She waved at me before Mei came up to me and smacked me in the face with her gun. We were out, and D.Va came back with Ana on top of her mech.

"Girls team one, red team zero." D.Va laughed as we were escorted out of the training area, the effects of the stun ammunition lasting only until the commander allowed it.

"Well that could have gone better." Soldier 76 said as he, Mercy, Genji and McCree watched us come in.

"We were careless. That won't happen again." Ana said as she reloaded her weapon.

The next round had different teams set up. This time I was paired with Reinhardt and Winston. We were facing off against Ana, Tracer, and Genji.

"Try and stay together. That way they can't take us by surprise." Reinhardt said as he walked forward, gripping his hammer tightly.

"We'll be fine as long as we learn to apprehend the enemy team with the combination of our abilities." Winston moved forward, looking up to the other side of the base. He activated his shield generator and watched as sniper fire hit the bubble. He chuckled, then widened his eyes when the bubble shattered. Genji landed on Reinhardt and kicked at his helmet, making the large man shout and swing his hammer. I ducked from the rocket hammers swing, watching Reinhardt charge after the fleeing Genji.
