Fareeha, her officers, and even officers from the other tables were listening in. It was rare getting news these days. Egypt's news networks covered the whole Cairo campaign and the valiant, indefatigable ESF that resisted humanity's arch enemies. Most of the coverage was glorified, propaganda to keep hope flaming in each Egyptian heart. Though there were kernels of truth packed in here and there.

The names Angela spoke of, Fareeha recalled, were members of Overwatch. She was too young to really remember too much of them, but she knew of the people. Particularly Reinhardt. She always thought his laugh was too loud. Too rambunctious. But it had its own charm. The others were blurs.

"I bet they're all fighting the fight," she said when she had a chance to jump in. "Germany's not going anywhere with Reinhardt there. Scandinavia's got an army of turrets. The other countries? Well, we now know their current state. It's a shame about South America. Never been there, but they were lives lost regardless."

Coming back onto the topic of Egypt, Fareeha was slightly surprised that her country was the hardest hit, in Angela's recount. She had expected the Omnics to concentrate on the more modern, populated areas. Europe. America. Russia. Asia. To have the heaviest fighting take place over barren sand was beyond her. There was nothing for the Omnics to gain here. Nothing that could've threatened them like the other countries. But who knew the logic of machines? 

Fareeha rose an eyebrow at Angela's portion about her. Her officers gave her playful smiles. So did the others. "Why don't we keep private life private, yes?" She looked at her officers. "Wipe those smirks off your faces."

"I never took you for the type," Nero said. He rose his hands. "Cap, ma'am."

"Stow it," Alawa said. Though his smug expression didn't change. "Dolls though. What an image."

Fareeha sighed. "Thank you, [i]doctor.[/i]" As annoyed as she sounded, her lips tugged into a small smile. "But thanks for the kind words. It's funny how something so little can bring such comfort." She leaned on the table towards Angela. "If you're comfortable, have you heard from my mom at all? Any news on her?"
