[Good morning, Moira. You are greeted with a strange video feed this morning. It opens with an untouched cup of steaming coffee and a plate that seems to have been emptied of food, save for one piece of alien fruit. A set of silver claws very carefully and painstakingly carving a face into said strange piece of alien-looking fruit in the mess hall, pulled from the plate once its completed its masterpiece. It doesn't look like much of anything, unless perhaps you've seen a certain visor around these parts. Then you might vaguely recognize the shape. Its not drawn very well.

The video feed holds on the masterpiece for a few seconds before said silver-fist comes slamming down on top of it and sends fruit juice and bits flying everywhere.

That's all, it seems, feed holding on the remains of the work of art, before a deep undead rasp speaks up off camera.]

Is breakfast still the most important meal of the day? Been a while since I had to think about it.

waste of a good space apple, man

[leftfeet]

It's unwise to waste food on a voyage like this one, you know.

[ Which is to say nothing of how melodramatic the display was.]

Who knows when we'll next reach a port, after all?

[tinkerhell]

[Reaper tilts the MID so he is looking down at the display instead and holds up a chunk of fruit.]

Just a little soft. Still edible. Want some?

[saveyourserpent]

[Ah, excessive dramatic displays of displeasure. Good times.]

I love the smell of wanton destruction in the morning. Just getting some frustrations out?

[tinkerhell]

[Finally, someone who appreciates bowflexing here and there.]

Nah. Typical morning routine. Normally go for something bigger. Liked the shape of this one better.

[The chunk of fruit he's holding begins to get squeezed slowly.]

what kind of question is that?
food is food no matter what time you eat it

I'm no nutritionist.
I've just heard it said enough times to remember.

[Seeing those gauntlets, hearing that voice, has an immediate effect on Pharah. She tenses as a sharp chill runs up her spine. Everything in her says not to engage, but at the same time she's filled with the indignation of knowing who he really is, thanks to Jesse's intel. Once she's calmed herself down from the initial reaction, she opens a feed.]

[She is no coward; there is no reason to hide her face. She is, however, back to wearing her armor now that she is healed enough. She's learned from their last interaction.]

I'm curious to find out why you might want to know the habits of others.

[tinkerhell]

[Smart girl. He doesn't seem phased by her face or her armor.]

What makes you curious? I thought you would've learned your lesson last time.

[Reinhardt has no way of knowing who this is, yet. Yes, he's heard Reyes is here, and alive. But the voice is too different. The rasp, throws him off.]

Why would you do that to the poor apple? If you wish to slice it, there are simpler ways!

[tinkerhell]

[Oh. Another one. Reaper doesn't answer right away, too busy appraising Reinhardt's voice.

But eventually:]

I prefer my way. Its cathartic.

a...ction...

[mylawn]

[Fact: this is a trap.

Also a fact: it's not even a good trap. This is, like, the most basic, obvious trap, with basic, obvious bait because Gabriel Reyes is apparently twelve years old. 76 should be insulted by the sheer laziness of Reaper's ploy to infuriate and/or flaunt his current, easily accessible location (after he's spent the last two weeks scouring the whole ship for him, at that). 76 should not, by any account, indulge this shitty attempt to get his attention. But it gets his attention, of course, even though he knows the only winning move is not to play, which brings us to--

A third fact: Jack Morrison is a human disaster who is (and perhaps has always been) physically compelled to walk right into traps. Always. Probably it has been this way for like thirty years.

Suffice to say it does not take very long for 76 and his gun to arrive, and he takes it upon himself to block the entrance.]

You're making a mess.

[He expects the response to be something like 'and it's about to get messier because blah blah blah your blood all over the floor', but YOU KNOW WHAT he doesn't care. This is stupid.]

hit the road jack

[tinkerhell]

[Reaper turns in his chair and sits like a 21 year old rather than the 40 some odd year old man he is, legs splayed lazily and arms hanging off the side of the chair. A piece of him is surprised that he's chosen to show up, but he certainly isn't disappointed.

He cracks his neck loudly.]

This isn't what any respectable soldier would call "a mess".

[He's brought the gun, of course. Its the one thing that keeps him from immediately engaging. Reaper has to assume Jack knows better by now -- but perhaps not entirely.

He hadn't shot yet.]

If I knew you were coming, I would have saved you a piece. Maybe.

[warandpeace]

[Suuuuure he gets appointed head of defense and this sort of nonsense starts happening.]

Stop wasting food.

And if you're going to fight, take it to one of the predesignated areas. Don't damage the ship.

[Fight all you want, though. He doesn't care about that part.]

[tinkerhell]

[Rest in peace, friend.]

Nobody likes a nag.

[ OH MY GOD THIS IS SO EMBARRASSING she's so embarrassed for you... Gabriel... you go around nearly killing people important to her and then you're gonna carve fruit and crush it with 76's face on it????

????????????????? ]

I would recommend oats instead for that high blood pressure.

[tinkerhell]

[He's never been happier. (A lie)]

Nah.

[squadgoals]

[Oh boy, more public enemies. Soldier: 76 had probably made one or two in his time.]

It's important. I drink at least three cups of coffee to make sure I have it covered.

[tinkerhell]

Sounds normal. Coffee any good here?

[Living vicariously through others: The Gabriel Reyes story.]

voice;

[flashbanging]

[ There's a long list of things McCree doesn't need right now, and this is topping the list. What the god damn hell? Did Reyes regress to a toddler when he died?

And what's with that visor? What does 76 have to do with this? He's already getting a headache, and he still doesn't have any smokes to soothe the throbbing. ]

Death ain't done much for your decorum, Gabe.

[ And quit acting like you've killed him, asshole. ]

voice;

[tinkerhell]

[The spoiler here is that Reyes has always been a toddler, Jesse. He's not entirely surprised to see that he's still alive and he's not entirely happy about it, but he's not going to betray that information so easily.]

Woulda done wonders for you, if you just let it happen.

[aerospacecommander]

I'd assume you organics have to eat several times a day but I wouldn't call the first one the most important.

["Organics". That's a new one.

But something about the phrase forces Reaper to visibly pause and actually look at the screen.

Wait. An omnic?! Not a model he's seen before -- but somehow, the mask on his face tilts slightly while the muscles beneath screw up in disgust.]

Who the hell let an omnic on this ship?
