"Morrison, you've got three bastions trying to flank you from the right. Reinhardt, make sure you're nearby. Lena, you're exuding too much energy towards the pulse anchor in your chest; don't over do it. Angela, after you're done healing Torbjorn, I'll need you to meet up with Morrison and Reinhardt for support. Ana, make sure to watch over Lena and Torbjorn while Angela's away. Gabriel, intercept the defense while the bastion's are distracted with Genji, McCree, and Gerard. At the first sign of a recall in defense, I need you to leave immediately. Winston, how's everyone doing?"

The ape stiffed in his chair and looked to the surrounding monitors. "Everyone seems stable for the time being. However, Morrison seems to be pushing himself too hard."

I bit my lip, growling into my headset, "Morrison."

"No use to talking to him." Gabriel replied.

"Reinhardt, how is he managing?"

"Haha, he has a fighters spirit!"

I massaged my temples, letting out a sigh, "That's not what I meant."

"You're just a rookie, don't get cocky kid." Morrison growled back into the mic.

I sighed, kicking back in my cushioned chair, "At least this Rookie doesn't have her health at a dangerously low bar. Oh? And your biotic field is still cooling down? Someone's in a pickle." I snickered.

"Angela, Ana, requesting assist!" He grunted.

I swung my legs up on the table, kicking back as I watched the whole situation break out during this omnic crisis, "Ana is getting Lena out of a sticky situation. Angela has to tend to Reinhardt since SOMEBODY neglected to notice there were two more bastions nearby."

"Well maybe if the CHIEF was actually doing her job instead of snapping at me, you might have actually done your job!" He replied.

I stuck out my tongue towards the screen. But red blinking icons told me everyone was close to being critical. I sat straight, scooting closer towards the keyboard and observing its monitor. ", I need you to take to Reinhardt and Morrison. Once they're healed, you two meet up with Torbjorn. His turrets are up by now, so you should use the opportunity to take a breather. Lena, I need you to take Angela and Ana towards Gabriel's group. Gabriel, do not engage in necessary combat until you and your team have healed a bit."

"Yes captain!~" Prism exclaimed.

She was deployed from headquarters, and her own marker along with Shima's blinked blue as they followed instructions. I chewed on my thumb nail, observing the observation. "Just in case, , I'm going to need you to go to Torbjorn's location to add an extra defense if Torbjorn's turrets go down."

"Affirmative." She muttered.

"Ada attacks, not defend." Morrison cursed.

"Well she'll be a lot more useful than you!" I hissed. "Besides, I'm sure you much rather have her out there than me."

"Trix, the omnics here seem to have some type of affiliation with Talon." Gerard reported, ignoring our childish remarks. "There are scoping inside the area."

I sat back, confusion flooding over me. "Why would Talon have business in London...? And with the omniums, too..."

"No clue. But I see this as an opportunity to find out more about this new terrorist organization."

I chewed on my lip. "Mmmm... First objective is to take down the Omnium antenna to dismantle all the rouge omnics. Take care of that first. Then, if the area is safe and you and your team are in good enough condition, you could go see if those talon guards hold any valuable information."

"Gabriel, you should decide whether or not Gerard is allowed to continue to his second objective."

"Roger."

"Getting a little handsy, are you?~" I heard Genji croon.

Angela scoffed, "Maybe if you stopped getting into so much trouble, I wouldn't have to heal you all the time. Maybe I should just leave you to suffer."

She says that, but it's clear her anger is pointed towards how reckless he is. Sure, he and Angela were near the same age, but Genji had a tendency to act like he was a hormonal, flirtatious, teenage boy; which I might have fallen victim to a couple of times....

"The omnics are suddenly turning back!" Torbjorn exclaimed.

"What?!"

"They're ignoring us." Ada said. "Every time I attempt to put a stop to them, they either do nothing or continue forward."

"And where is forward?": Trix asked.

"They're headed towards Gabriel and the others." Winston said, reading his own monitors.

"The Talon guards are retreating somewhere... They're practically running." Gerard exclaimed irritably.

My body suddenly went cold. "Gabriel, I need you and everyone else there to evacuate. Work with Lena to try and get everyone out there as fast as possible. Gerard, if you really want to still attempt to gather information, you'll need Ana's sedative to knock one of them out."

"Aye, captain." Ana said.

"Morrison can you move?"

"Yes, Shima fixed me up good."

"Reinhardt?"

"Haha! Still kicking!"

"I'm not leaving my baby out here to explode!" Torbjorn exclaimed in the mic.

My brow twitched. "Prism, bring him here by force if you have to."

"Yes ma'am!~"

"Reinhardt, your shield should have cooled off by now, so shield everyone from behind, especially Shima; her body is still vulnerable because of the incident..." I trailed off.

As planned, everyone seemed to retreat. Genji seemed well enough as he he sprinted over building ceilings. When I saw Angela was running just as fast as Lena, I presumed Lena was carrying her to make it quicker. Gabriel was at the front, shooting down omnics that blocked his way.

My main focus was Ana and Gerard. It seemed like Ana had managed to knock out one of the guards. Luckily, the others didn't seem to notice.

"They have precisely a minute to find some type of shelter." Winston growled.

"You won't make it, go underground!" I barked in the mic.

"Got it-" But then Anna's mic busted into loud whines, probably from the explosion that nearly shook the ground.
