@tacticalgrandma replies to this post (eh I’m on mobile just follow the link for context)

With deep cover theories in general I find I can never adequately answer the question of what the hell he’s been doing for the last six years since overwatch fell, revenge is a bit too vague? I could see inflitrating talon being a thing he might do personally pre-fall (he could convince them he’s fed up with overwatch or that he needs…whatever Moira is supposed to be doing – incidentally I think if overwatch fires his one way of handling whatever genetic stuff is going on that might be “they left me to become this thing”. or talon don’t know who he actually is? This is possible but I’m not sure it really works, sombra and Moira do at least know him.) But needs something more to it to work as a thing he’s still doing.

But if he did that I don’t think it was particularly successful. I doubt things like widowmaker, ana’s death, mccree leaving, and the Swiss base explosion were examples of things going according to plan. In fact the only thing he’s managed to keep is talons reasonable confidence he’s working for them….which is interesting, partly cause it sort of implys they didn’t try and blow him up. The only thing an initial undercover thing seems to have done is provide him with an in to talon post-fall. Everything else seems to have gone badly wrong despite whatever ways they tried to fight talon (whether that involves someone going undercover or not)

Yeah, also I think you’re right he’s not overly concerned about killing people – he’s probably got people he’d rather not kill (I could see him balking at killing Jack without Ana’s presence, he also doesn’t seem overly concerned with actually killing Winston in recall and the museum short – if he can avoid it at least or this is plot armour who knows) and people he does actually want to kill (possibly also jack) but he’s got no issues killing people like the grunts at volskaya etc.

This is long sorry, I do think a lot of these ‘this doesn’t quite make sense’ things with Gabriel are somewhat a result of overwatch having clearly changed tact with where they are going with his character, which complicates things

Conflicting Gabriel Reyes theories:

– double agent or his involvement in talon at least started out this way. Lots of convincing people he’s ‘seen the light’ of talons way of doing things/he’s sick of overwatch/not getting credit/etc but none of that’s actually true. Or he does this under the identity of reaper and talon doesn’t know that’s also gabriel. Possibly trying to help Amelie lacroix as well. He’s trying to discover who the moles within overwatch/blackwatch are and get them out of the picture before they can do too much damage. Obviously this doesn’t work but he’s still doing exactly the same thing and still on the hunt for overwatch people who helped talon back then.

– Gabriel’s job has always included going into places and making things worse so overwatch are asked to or have an excuse to intervene – he does this as reaper (who’s been seen on battlefield for “20 years”). Again he’s still doing the same thing, he realises talon needs to be a big enough threat that the world will accept the reformation of overwatch, his attack on watchpount Gibraltar forces Winston’s hand on the recall, etc.

A healthy side of ‘becoming the mask’ in either case undercover work is hard (and he’s undercover in both senarios and has basically been doing it alone for six years) but also possibly via: to borrow from gameplay, Moira’s experiments mean killing people aliviates pain/makes him feel good in some way. Which could be the inspiration for widowmaker. Or he’s convinced talon/Moira sepcifically that this drive exists or is larger than it is to alleviate suspicion.

New Pregame Interactions Masterpost

tacticalgrandma:

Anniversary added a bunch of new ones and I’m trying to find them all. I know If there are any others I’m missing, let me know! I’ll update this. Also a lot of these are from @agenthill or sent to me by @kinaesthetiq– thanks you two ❤

**Edit 1: Updated with Zarya & Junkrat and Orisa & McCree interactions (thank you @tankdyke for the former, and Kina for still being on the grind!) People in the comments have said they’ve heard a variant of the Ana line with Tracer, a Symmetra & Doomfist interaction, and a Symmetra & Hanzo interaction, so if you have the transcript for any of those, please lmk!

**Edit 2: @sombrashair​ got me Sombra’s half of a Sombra & Bastion interaction and possibly a whole Sombra & Pharah one, as well as Pharah’s half of a Pharah & Tracer, Pharah & Soldier: 76, and Pharah & Ana interaction. If anyone has the other halves of those, or confirmation on the Sombra & Pharah one, that would be awesome! In any case, thank you so much Lauren for my whole entire life ❤ Also, putting this under a cut now, because it’s getting long.

**Edit 3: @sombrashair with mvp status getting me the other side of the Pharah & Ana interaction, as well as some Moira & Winston ones! Also @pointblankerror sent me the other half of the Pharah & Soldier interaction– thank you! Interactions that have been requested and completed have been strike through’d, the remaining bold ones are ones that I still need!

**Edit 4: Lauren got me (possibly) the other half of Ana & Tracer’s interaction and the other half of Tracer & Pharah’s, and @fearlessstateofmind came through with a bunch of really cool ones! Also @datnoise sent me a Genji and Zarya interaction. You guys are so awesome, thank you so much ❤

**Edit 5: I am now legally required to buy @sombrashair a fruit basket. A bunch of Doomfist & Symmetra interactions have been added thanks to her, plus an adorable Orisa & Tracer one. @agenthill also confirmed the Ana & Tracer one and Pharah & Sombra one, as well as helped me narrow down a Doom interaction– thank you!! However, a Doomfist & Hanzo interaction and a Doomfist & Ana or Soldier: 76 interaction are incomplete. If you know these, the previous non struck through bold ones, or any ones we’re missing, please lmk!

**Edit 6: While I was at work, Lauren and a bunch of other people sent me more, so this is adding a lot! @theomnicode​, @kinaesthetiq​, and @crystallisedrain all sent in quotes– thank you guys! Also Doomfist & Hanzo has been completed and some lines have been corrected. We’re missing Orisa’s half of an Orisa & Genji interaction, and commenter also said that there was been a Brigitte & Pharah interaction (@fearlessstateofmind sent me what could be the Pharah side– thank you!) But as of now that, the other half of the Sombra & Bastion one, and the Symmetra & Hanzo one are the only ones I know are missing. 

**Edit 7: So right after I posted the last edit, I went to discord and saw the Hammeh video. That video does not have the rest Orisa & Genji interaction, or the Brigitte & Pharah one, but it does have some new ones that weren’t mentioned in the comments. We have the Junkrat & Genji interaction, the variants on Ana’s line, and a Doomfist line he didn’t, but I’m wiped and can’t be entirely sure if this list has any more the video doesn’t. In any case, I think it’s worth having transcriptions of them, so I’m going to keep it up and add the ones that weren’t on here before. Unless we get the missing ones mentioned, this should be the last update. Thank you so much to everyone who helped, especially @sombrashair, who did a ton of mining for this!

**Edit 8: @cameoappearance sent me a new Torbjorn & Bastion interaction, and @angelic-nymphia clarified about the Brigitte & Pharah interaction– thank you both!
