One Room, Two Ladies

Scott's Room, Overwatch Headquarters

Inside his vast, state-of-the-art room, Scott lounged on the edge of his king-sized bed, staring at the holographic screen that floated in front of him.

The vibrant blue screen displayed the same message it had for the last hour:

[DO NOT LEAVE THIS ROOM FOR SIX HOURS.]

Scott tilted his head as his brows knitted in mild irritation.

"You know, I don't get it…"

He swirled the half-empty water bottle in his hand.

His voice was calm, but he was very annoyed.

"This is like that one time the System told me to take a left turn on Main Street for no reason… only for a runaway truck to barrel through the intersection a second later."

He took another sip of water as his eyes drifted to the metal door on the far side of the room.

"The thing is…"

He frowned slightly.
