Place: Secret Base of the Talon
Country: Location unknown
The quiet scraping, the gentle whir of the machines and the clatter of heels on the polished floor were the only sounds that were heard in the genetic laboratory. The geneticist Moira O'Deorain has been working on this project for a long time. She was already close to success, she only needed one thing...
"Where did I leave it..." Moira said quietly to herself, searching for the last ingredient along the test tubes. "Ah. Here it is." She smiled victoriously, reaching for a small vial of white powder after moments of searching. She gently tipped the small vial over, pouring the last ingredient of white powder into a metal container. The golden smoke from the container turned into a mixed black and purple.
The woman smiled.
"Alright..." she said, still smiling. Then she a nearby syringe and sucked in a bit of the strange substance from the container. Moira chuckled and tapped her fingernails with a glass that glowed with darkness. After a few moments, dark droplets precipitated from the smoke.
"Time for a little test, Grammi." She turned to the table where a large cage stood.
In it sat a dun rabbit with white patches and dark eyes. The animal nibbled at the lettuce, but when he noticed the woman approaching, he raised his head to look at her. He did not look scared, on the contrary, he watched in curiosity and apparently waited for her with longing, as if he had not seen her for a long time.
Moira opened the cage and clicked her tongue several times, as if to call the pet over to her.
"Come to Mommy," she said with a luscious voice. The rabbit walked over to her, crawling into her hands. "Now relax, Grammi, this will not hurt." the red-haired woman said, carefully brushing the fur off her paw to show the skin. As she readied the syringe, the animal noticed the sharp needle and began to squeal and try to escape her hands.
Moira took action immediately and began to stroke the scared animal gently.
"Do not worry my dear, just relax." she said soothingly. The rabbit began to calm down, no longer showing struggle against her. When the rabbit was fully calm, she slowly injected the needle of dark substance into the animal, then put down the needle. The animal flinched, but did not struggle against Moira. Then she walked slowly to the table and set the rabbit back down into the cage.
"Time to see if this works." The woman began to put on some equipment similar to her biotic weapons, but different from her original design. These had a small lit screen on her wrist. "Now, Grammi, my dear, you will probably begin to feel a bit of pain. Do not worry about it..." She carelessly warned to the rabbit. She then tapped something on the screen. Then she began to clench her hand.
Grammi suddenly began to squeak and squealed in pain. Dark brown eyes began to cover with the rabbit's tarry black, with accompanying pain. Then the scientist made several movements with her fingers— the rabbit got up from its pain and began to move towards her, as if it's obeying her command.
"Yes!" The woman said happily. "Finally, after many hours and days I managed to—!" Then, as if nothing had happened, Sombra and Reaper barged into her laboratory.
"Oh, give me a break, Gabe! You couldn't have done it better!" Sombra yelled annoyingly, which was not everyday, and Reaper seemed to be more pissed off than usual, even through the mask covered his face.
"Do not call me Gabe! I am the Reaper!" He growled. Moira sighed, her personal moment of achievement from her experiment came crashing down and had to end another quarrel between the hacker and the so-called pseudo-death. Whenever they could not end their arguments between each other, they would enter her laboratory and argue further, causing the scientist to ask what was going on, and to agree with one of them or find a solution to their annoying problem.
Setting away her equipment, she walked quickly to the swivel chair that was closest to the two, and sat on it. She rested her elbow against the arm of the chair to put her head on her hand and looked at them.
"What is it this time?" The geneticist asked in a bored tone. Sombra and Reaper began to talk at the same time. Moira could not obviously understand what the two were saying, and it eventually evolved into the two yelling at each other again. She facepalmed with her own annoyance."Not everyone at once!" she yelled out louder than the two arguing. They fell silent.
"One at a time please!" She sighed. "Reaper. You start." She pointed at the black wraith.
“I think the WiFi’s down—“
"It's not the WiFi, it's your computer, Gabriel!" Sombra interrupted him quickly.
"Reaper! Not Gabriel!"
"SILENCE!" Moira gowled impatiently. This time, Sombra spoke.
"Gab...I mean, Reaper, he tried to reset the WiFi, and almost deprived everyone with no internet,” the hacker explained. "In fact, his computer is down, which should have been replaced long ago!"
Hearing these words, Moira straightened up. That was indeed a reason for quarrel.
"My computer did not down, it..."
"I agree with Sombra.” said the researcher. "Your computer, Ga... I mean, Reaper! You should to get a new or upgrade. Computers tend to become obsolete toward the later years.”
Sombra jumped victoriously and flicked her tongue at Reaper, earning a sigh from him.
"It's good that you stopped him because,” Moira got up from the chair. "I was in the middle of doing an experiment, and you interrupted me!"
Moira, not realizing she was still wearing some of her experimental equipment, clenched her hand, activating the equipment and making Grammi squeal in pain again.
Sombra screamed, terrified at the animal’s squealing pain. "Moira, what the hell are you doing!?" The hacker went over to the cage, and removed Grammi from the cage, stroking it comfortably and murmuring in spanish. “Why are you doing experiments on Grammi, you estúpido científico?!” She turned to Moira.
“Really? Grammi? Is that what your new rabbit is called?” Asked the Reaper in disbelief.
The geneticist scoffed.
“Do you have any problem? Grammi is a nice name.” She said, approaching Sombra.
“It's Sombra who gave her that name, ask her.”
“Oh...now it makes sense,” Reaper chuckled. “Sombra has recently been watching Gummy Bears and—“
"Do you have anything to Gummy Bears?!" Sombra yelled.
"Silence again, all of you!" Moira interrupt again. "I was in the middle of an experiment, and since there are no problems, please. Let me finish my job..." She tried to to take the rabbit, but Sombra backed away.
"No! Do your weird experiments, just without Grammi!" The hacker protested, hugging the animal more tightly to her chest.
Moira sighed heavily. “Nothing will happen to her...”
“You said the same thing about Chester!”
“I’ll admit I made some bad miscalculations...”
"Those miscalculations made Chester turn into smoke!"
“This time I have already succeeded, Sombra, and as you can see, nothing has happened to Grammi,” the woman said firmly. "Because once again as you see, the essence does not do anything to her. But, with the help of this, I can control her body! Every move, everything I can do, can make her slowly die or be in top of shape." Moira said excitedly, demonstrating by putting on her equipment and activating it forcing the rabbit to leap out of Sombra’s hand, making her chase the rabbit to pick it up again.
"So..." Reaper said with some interest. "The animal is practically at your command?"
Moira smiled.
"Theoretically yes, but I will need more time to experiment the more sophisticated functions. For now I know that I can control her movements. But because you interrupted me..."
“Ah, there you two are." Suddenly someone started to call from behind the door. "And we were looking for you all over the base." Akande Ogundimu, better known as the Doomfist, emtering the laboratory. Behind him was the purple skinned assassin Widowmaker. As usual, her expression was unchanging.
Moira sighed. "More of you?” She asked quietly, shaking her head. "Can you leave?" She said louder. "I want to continue my research."
“Hm...I am a bit curious of this commotion here.” Akande squinted his eyes and looked at Sombra, then at the rabbit. "What exactly is your experiment?”
“Moira wanted to hurt Grammi!” The hacker replied quickly.
“I carried out the experiment ... And nothing bad has happened to Grammi.” The geneticist explained calmly.
“What experiment?” Doomfist asked.
“A very interesting experiment,” Reaper empathized. He quickly explained what Moira had told him.
“...well, at least, improved him.”
“And does this essence also work on people?” This time the question was asked by Widowmaker.
“It should. I have not tested it on people yet, I need to do some more research. Besides, I doubt that volunteers will find themselves.” Moira took the rabbit from Sombra and put it on the table. Sombra’s expression saddened.
Doomfist considered her words for a moment. Then he had an idea.
"Could you convert this essence and put it in into Widowmaker’s Venom Mine?
Moira raised her eyebrow in surprise. “Of course I could. But what do you want to do with it afterwards?” She asked, leaning against the table top.
Reaper picked up what Doomfist was planning. “Because we know who would be willing to test your essence.” He smiled under the hood and looked at Doomfist and Widowmaker.
The scientist chuckled. “So who shall be my new guinea pig?”
Widowmaker answered. “I think one of the members of Overwatch will be eager to work with us...”
