Rescued

Kamora Ishida. One off the Seven experiments in a large project to make the perfect soldier. Project Android, the thing that took her freedom away. She'd been experimented on for years. Augmented and modified to be the perfect killer. Well, that was the plan at least, until she was locked away due to her being too good at her job. But under that killer appearance is just a naïve, clueless, innocent girl with the mind of a child. Now that she's awakened, she'd come face to face with people she's never met.

But she was curious about them. They seemed friendly. Her systems must be malfunctioning because they were labeled as hostile. But they did enter the base without authorization, but maybe they had good intentions. She stood in the stasis chamber that once held her. She makes her scythe revert back into its storage/sheathed form and put the weapon on her back. It latches onto her body suit. She looks at the three newcomers.

Winston walks over to Lena and Mei. Kamora watches him as he does. Her attention is then averted elsewhere as she taps into the bases security system. Most of GTAL's systems within the base are still intact. However, a good portion of the base's integrity is in shambles. The Advanced Defense System or ADS has been down for a long time and is basically destroyed. The Perimeter Energy Field is out of power and has been damaged over time, so it is inactive. The onsite Security Omnics are offline as well. The rest of the base had seemingly drained all its power to keep her inside her Stasis Pod.

So, the very room she is in right now is the only room that is intact. Our Gorilla Scientist reached his other two teammates before he turned slightly and looked at the Android who was seemingly staring off into space. Mei was looking over curiously as was Lena. They'd never seen or met any of these so called 'Androids' ever since they've heard about them when they joined Overwatch. They all knew about the Androids that GTAL created during and after the Crisis.

Mei had always been interested in the Androids but never got to see or physically possess anything related to the Androids. But now, she's seeing one in the flesh.... or well metal and flesh. Lena knows about the Androids as well since Overwatch knew of the project's existence prior to it being shut down. But Overwatch never knew about the Orphans being the test subjects. This is because Overwatch dissolved before GTAL did.

They know she's an Android because of the pod she was in and what she's wearing. That, and her name. The Subjects did have the names and that's what Overwatch knew. The names of them. So, they knew Kamora Ishida's name. But that's all they know. Maybe this is a way for them to learn more about Project Android and why it was shut down along with the organization that was conducting it. The world doesn't even know why GTAL dissolved.

Lena: "So..." she whispers. "What do we do with her?" she asks in a whispering tone. Trying not to be heard by Kamora.

Winston: "We can't leave her here." he states. "It'd be best if we took her with us."

Mei looked at him, clearly worried about the idea. If the Android's are as formidable as claimed and were locked away so tightly. This might be a bad idea.

Mei: "Winston are..." she paused to briefly glance at the Android before looking back at the scientist. "Are you sure about this?"

Winston nods stubbornly. Not wavering in his decision.

Winston: "It would be for the best if she came with us. She'll be safer in Overwatch's care then on her own." he reasons.

Mei—with high uncertainty—looked at Lena. Lena didn't seem against it but was still visibly concerned about the idea. Kamora had moved so fast that they couldn't even see her clearly. She was a blur. That kind of speed and with the Scythe Kamora uses. If the Android went rogue, they'd die faster than they could even react. This was a shared thought between Mei and Lena.

Winston could tell that's what they were thinking because it's what he is thinking right now. But he knows it'll be better to keep Ms. Ishida as a guest and under Overwatch's supervision than to let her run wild around the world and be picked up by Talon. This was the safest and smartest way to deal with Kamora.

Lena: "What if she goes rogue?" she asks, whispering.

Winston: "We'll cover that roadblock when we get there. For now, we need to move out." he states.

Winston then looked at the android who now blinks and stopped staring off into space. Kamora was done looking through the bases systems and knew the base was a lost cause. Winston didn't know what she was doing but didn't question it.

Winston: "Ms. Ishida." he calls out.

The 27-year-old Android looked over to Winston and the others.

Winston: "We're going to be leaving, it's best if you come with us." he said.

Kamora: "Base.... ruined." she states, neutrally.

Winston: "We've noticed." he said, remembering the destroyed lights and frighteningly dark halls.

Kamora: "Overwatch.... safe?" she asks.

Winston nods with a calm and neutral smile on his face. He was trying to appear less threatening considering she nearly attacked him and the others. Kamora looked at him silently before her eyes darted to the cold floor. She felt the cold metal on the bottom of her feet and felt the heat coming from the opened door. The room was warming up, but slowly. The room was supposed to be cold for a reason. So that the Stasis Pod—which cryogenically freezes people depending on the model—doesn't randomly activate and open up.

She looks up at the Gorilla.

Kamora: "follow for safety." she said, agreeing to come with.

Winston smiled a bit before looking at Lena and Mei. He motioned with his head for them to move out. The Strike Team, with Kamora in tow, head out of the room and trek back to the entrance that they used to get inside the base. As they left, Kamora felt the heat from the outside world rushing through the hall. The cold she felt in the Stasis chamber was withering away under the pressure of the heat. It felt nice to her. It felt new more specifically.

As the agents step outside of the base, they no longer feel the metal floors beneath them. But stone, sand and dirt beneath their feet. Kamora on the other hand, stood in the doorway of the entrance. Looking at the outside world for the first time in 24 Years. She'd always been locked up in a base and forced to train in various feats of combat. She did receive education due to being 3 when she was indoctrinated, but it was only to teach her the basics of being a Soldier and that's it. It's why her grammar is so terrible.

She wasn't taught how to speak, only how to receive orders. Kamora looks at the ground and is confused and curious at the strange substance beyond the door. She kneels down and her hair turns orange signaling she's curious. She brushes her hand against the dirt and sand and even picks up some of it. She was examining it like it's some kind of new ancient relic or like it's a foreign piece of technology. She was both amazed and astonished. The three agents turned around and saw Kamora's reaction to literal dirt.

It was kinda sad. Kamora is 27 Years Old and she's both experiencing the outside world for the first time and seeing dirt for the first time. It really showed how long she's been in that base and made them question. How old was she when she became an Android? It was a sad sight to see, and it made Lena and Mei change their perspectives of Kamora as a possible danger, to just something else. Something they're not sure of.

Kamora drops the dirt from her hand and her hair returns to its black color. The Overwatch agents were amazed seeing her hair change color. But what they don't know is that this is all normal. It's natural for her hair to change color. She stands up and slowly steps outside of the base. She was hesitant at first but after she took her first step. She felt the warm and hot stone and dirt beneath her feet. Her once cold feet were swiftly heated up. She liked it. Her hair briefly turned yellow as she was happy to be experiencing all this.

The Overwatch agents watched on as the Android pranced about like a child. She eventually stopped as she got closer to the three agents. Her hair remained yellow as a smile was on her face. Winston just had a smile on his face before he turned around and walked into the dropship. Lena and Mei followed him. Kamora looked at the ship and then ran around the ship looking at it. Thanks to her enhanced speed, it was like she was a blur.

She was amazed with its design. But she quickly stopped and sped into the dropship. Once inside, it startled Mei since she basically showed up suddenly. Lena pressed a button and the ramp rose up off the ground and closed up the cabin. Once the light from outside was snuffed out, a light activated within the cabin of the dropship.

Kamora kept looking around like a kid in a candy store. She's always been in that base and never really had any other new environments. This is ALL new to her. Winston had taken his seat by now and Lena soon walks past him towards the cockpit of the ship. She sits down in the seat and prepares the ship for lift off. Kamora kept looking around before Winston gestured for her to sit down. She does and sits down on one of the seats within the cabin.

Mei sat across from Winston and Kamora who removed her folded scythe and placed it on her lap.

Lena: "It'll be a long flight till we reach base. So, I suggest you sit tight and enjoy the ride." she said, enthusiastically.

The ships thrusters power up and kick up dust and sand around them. The ship slowly ascended off the ground and into the air. It doesn't take the ship long to get into a much needed altitude before Lena puts it into high gear and they blast off away from the abandoned GTAL base.
