They said we weren't needed anymore. That we weren't following the law and saw ourselves as above it. I don't really know anything that went on behind the scenes. I was stationed far away and only heard about it later.

But you didn't believe that yourself?

I'd only ever known Overwatch to do good. To protect people in areas in a crisis, or to do research in how to protect the world. It's possible the UN thought we were too powerful. More powerful than them. I don't really know.

But that's what you were with them for? Protecting people?

Yes, in a way. I was studying the dramatic climate shift that was taking place. People had theories, especially blaming the omnics for it, but I was pursuing the truth, and to see if the data I collected could be used to change things before the climate got any worse.

What are the omnics?

They're robots who were created in omniums, which are factories where self aware robots build other robots. The omnics have free will, but the self aware god AI in the omniums can take over their minds if they want. There was a war, where the omnics attacked humans and tried to take over. They were defeated, sort of, but there's still fighting in some places, and in others the omnics living there have few rights and are blamed for everything.

We had a war like that too. But we wiped the AI out. And the planet was messed up already.

But what I've said doesn't sound familiar at all? If not, then this can't be my Earth's future.

I don't think it is.

Well, that gives me a lot to think about.

And worry about.

Thank you for the information. Could we talk more once I'm settled in and I've had a chance to rest?

Of course. I'll be here.
