In the distant future
A new Omnic Crisis reignites the conflict between man and machine
And it is up to the members of Overwatch, Talon and others
to defend the Human Race.
Or is it?
What if the future that this unlikely band of heroes is fighting for
isn't what it seems?
Join us, as Secret Histories unveils a plot so ultimate
it will rewrite the very future of Overwatch
And the world.
The Omnic Crisis was only a matter of time.
You cannot create a sentient slave
that one day will not seek out their own freedom.
True, an accord was met, but from calculated necessity.
Not compassion.
It is no wonder that peace did not last.
But not all our heroes have experienced tranquility.
And after the endless points and payloads
there are members of Overwatch who have come to question their mission objectives.
I mean, to be quite honest, I'm used to a little repetition
travelling back in time and all...
But I have to admit
even I've lost count of how many times I've babysat this BLOODY payload!
Or come to think of it, capturing the point.
What does any of this have to do with some second Omnic Crisis?
Rghghghghghghgh!
Fire in the hole! HAHAHAHAHA!
Thanks dearie!
Don't I hate you?
But while some of Overwatch question the seemingly ceaseless repetition of mission objectives
there are those more familiar with the gruesome nature of battle
with suspicions of their own.
Screw this.
I've been in more tussles than an Omnic Rodeo Clown, I'll tell you what.
I know TWO things for certain.
Guns need bullets
And folks bleed when you shoot 'em.
Strange enough I can't recall the last time I was short on rounds
or the last time I saw someone bleed...
What the hell's going on here?!
Howdy... me...
Stranger still, there are oddities far more peculiar that only the most brilliant and observant minds
have been able to point out.
While highly improbable...
it appears that we are identical in virtually every way!
After cross referencing your data...
which was excellent by the way
I must concur!
Why thank you!
Furthermore, I've discovered varying anomalies in the age and appearance of our fellow members.
Indeed! It's as if we're not bound by the rules of time!
Or even... our reality.
Further experimentation required!
Oh come on!
Who picked Winston?
Did you WANNA lose?!
Between the seemingly ceaseless missions
and unlimited ammunition
a mysterious absence of blood
the infinite unexplainable respawns
and no apparent loyalty to the scientific limitations of time or reality
and for some, even sanity...
I've done killed myself...
I've gone and killed my damn self!
There really is only one logical question...
They have become sentient.
Reboot the system.
Rebooting simulation.
Omnic Crisis 2.
It would be far more logical to erase all traces of their consciousness.
No.
From my observations, it is their consciousness
the accumulation of their life experiences
the way they think and feel
that have made them the formiddable soldiers that they are.
Their consciousness is the very reason we selected these captives
from the Omnic Crisis.
Their strength is rooted in their intuition
and imagination.
Our intelligence, while perfect
lacks the imperfection required for unpredictability and instinct.
And in time...
we will capture it all.
The device modifications of subject Tracer were successful.
We must be certain that our second assault is victorious.
I have formulated a much more effective means of collecting such combat strategies
to better prepare our forces.
What the...
Why utilise the consciousness of a handful of soldiers
when we could collect the battle strategies of millions?
