Ashes Beneath the Burning Sun

@Ambiguity

Are you talking about exams being over? If so, congrats! It must've been hell.

I'm usually all alone in QP. :( haha but really, that sounds like a lot of fun. I know sometimes me and the random people I get teamed with will do shenanigans in no limits mode. Like earlier today we played 5 Mercy's and 1 Pharah. We didn't win obviously, but it was a lot of fun.

I'm so bad at Ana. xD Can't aim to save my life with her, even though you just have to get the person you're targeting inside the triangle on her scope. Guess this is why Reinhardt is my most played. Whi needs to aim ehen you have a hammer?

I usually listen to music when I'm playing QP, it's not like anyone actually communicates in there anyways. xD So I try to listen to stuff that fits the hero I'm playing. Gets me pumped up and actually helps me play!

I think just about every ambient song fits Zen. xD Which I love, because I love ambient music, and I love Zenyatta. He's probably my best support.

Angela somehow felt more content knowing that fareeha was on board with the idea of feigning death to get away with defecting to Talon. It'd be a tough bargain; her soldiers and even the Swiss ones would be dragged into something that could potentially be treasonous. To be frank, Angela wasn't certain that Kalte would go along with this plan. He was a great soldier who understood dire circumstances, but to trust him with a secret like this? It was risky. All of this was.

The woman nodded her head. "I can go find them. I may be wounded and weak but I'm not going to let that stop me from doing everything that I can to help people, even if that means temporarily defecting." She spoke quietly so no one would hear. "I'll go find your officers, and I'll get Kalte as well... Perhaps that messenger who went to talk with Kalte can help me find them faster. I'll try to find him first."

She stood up once again. "And Fareeha? I won't let anything happen to you. They find out you've deserted, and I will exercise every bit of authority I have as one of few Overwatch agents to still call myself a member of it, to keep them from harming you."

With confidence and determination driving her exhausted body forward, Angela once again exited the tent. With her objective clear, she searched first for the few that would be in the base of operations. Among the moderately injured sitting outside of the medical tent who didn't ant to waste space was one of Fareeha's officers. She looked over his wounds; nothing too serious, but it was enough to take him out of the fight. It was similar to Fareeha's case. Painful, but he'd be fine with adequate rest.

She asked him kindly to go sit with Fareeha and wait until the others arrived for her to talk to them. Once they'd done that, she moved towards the backlines of the fighting, where people were actively being assessed for injuries, or doing communications to the frontlines. Angela spotted the messenger, Karson, from before.

She approached him. "Karson, I need a huge favor. If the line is able to be held stable by the soldiers alone, I need the officers in the jumpers to come speak with Fareeha, as well as Captain Kalte. But radios must not be used to contact them."

Karson looked up from the radio he was operating, confused. "Are you certain, ma'am? The line s stable, but without the officers, the less-experienced Sergeants will have to give any orders that are needed. And to go get them physically..."

"I know what I asked, private." Angela reaffirmed. "And I know it's a heavy burden on the enlisted soldier's shoulders, but it is extremely important that Fareeha speak with them in person, and without anyone monitoring the radios hearing that they are being pulled back. The omnics could easily be listening, and this is very, very important. You must understand."

The Swiss soldier was silent for a moment before nodding his head. However confused he was, it was his duty to listen to orders given to him. "I'll see if I can tear them away from the frontlines. They won't be happy to be pulled aside, but they should know chain of command... I may have questions but I'm of no rank to ask them."

Angela nodded her head. "Thank you, Karson. I'm grateful for your help. Send them to the medical tent. And if they ask for time, tell them there is none to waste."

Karson shook his head in a yes, then stood up. He motioned to a few others who weren't doing anything of utmost importance, and enlisted them to help gather the officers in question. Angela watched as they hurried off to the frontlines, taking a deep breath then turning and heading back to the base. The Talon operatives were still standing by, waiting. When the one that had spoken to Angela previously looked over, she raised a finger as if to tell him to wait. He nodded his head, then went back to guarding his truck of supplies.

Angela reentered the medical tent, making her way back down the aisle and once again returning to Fareeha's side. She sat down, feeling more exhausted now than she'd been before. All she wanted to do was sleep.

"Karson and a few others are gathering the officers without using any radios. Just to make certain no one suspects anything. I hope it doesn't take long... but your officers and Kalte should know to follow orders, especially coming from someone like you." The Swiss woman rested her elbows on her knees, and her head in her hands, shutting her eyes. At least for this brief moment while they were waiting, she could close her eyes and relax as much as she could, even if it was only for a moment.

Silverstein's not bad. I listen to some of their songs on occasion.

I think this is a song you'll enjoy! It's described as "future bass" genre, though I wouldn't know. I listen to it nonstop when I'm playing Lucio. youtube.com/watch?v=wVNUD-sqV1g

That does sound pretty unappetizing. Then again, I'm not a big fan of strawberry flavor to begin with.

I've heard of and listened to those three. They're metal, believe me. There's like a billion subgenres. The stuff I listen to isn't too crazy, but i listen to a lot of different types, so some of it is highly disliked outside of those who listen to that genre.

Some of the more moderate metal I listen to is stuff like this: youtube.com/watch?v=gdP3O8L_MV4 , while the more hardcore stuff is generally like this: youtube.com/watch?v=nbpZmN9wDNg .

I also listen to a lot of comedy/parody music. youtube.com/watch?v=RlTe_nnewIY

Yes! Vanilla is my favorite, so I tend to always have some in my freezer.

Oh, thank you so much! I'm really flattered you think my music is good. :)

I'll definitely give those a listen! I listen to just about everything, though my favorite genre is metal. I know, it probably doesn't seem much like it just by the music I make. xD

@Ambiguity

I. Love. It. Both ways. I think I like it with ice cream better than the sour cream. Thank you for suggesting them! Definitely wouldn't have tried that otherwise

Glad you approve! Honestly my DVa tracks are probably my best ones. Lucio, Mei, and Mercy's tracks seem to be my most popular though. Not that they're actually any big amount of views. I consider 20 to be good. xD

Angela shook her head, as valid as Fareeha's concerns were. "No, I don't think you have to desert. Not completely, anyways. Command may put pen to paper, but at the end of the day, it's a piece of paper. Tell the people here, like Kalte and your officers in the ESF who trust you with their lives. Tell them the situation, and I know they'll understand... I know that you would fight and die for this country. And I would die right along side you if it meant saving the lives of others."

The Swiss woman paused. Dying, huh? That was a new idea.

"Okay, this may sound absolutely crazy, but what if we feigned death to your superiors? We tell your officers and Kalte that we're going to Talon, but they'll relay a false message that we were killed and unrecoverable due to the omnics. It's a shady idea, which requires absolute faith in those we choose to tell of the plan, but it could trick those who sit there and run a desk while people die out here. I'm not even certain it would work, but it'd be one way for you not to be considered a deserter and potentially hanged if they get their hands on you again."

Fries are in the oven right now. I'm so hungry.

^Some of my music. It's not that great, but I've been working on a bunch of Overwatch-inspired tracks for the past few months!

I was talking with another RP partner, and all we did was quote Torbjorn, but now that we know he's a stud everything he says implies sex.

"I'm giving it all I've got!"

"People always underestimate the engineers."

"If you want something done right, do it yourself."

"I told you. The size of hammer doesn't matter."

"I’m ready to unleash the molten core."

"There's more where that came from."
