>>3303734You've been decent enough with me, so I appreciate that and hope things pick up for you soon. And thanks, it was indeed good. My family is really spread out, so it was nice to see and catch up with them all again. Then my cousin started talking about that movie where James Franco cuts off his arm, which led to a lovely discussion about self-inflicted bodily mutilations, and I just had to get up and leave for a few minutes. I love my family, but good after dinner conversationalists they are not.
Gabey Baby was part of the original strike team, so it's not like nobody knew who he was or that he was still working. I imagine he and his crew would sometimes assist with more routine, public assignments if the need called for it, and it was just the unsavory bits that were kept covert. He, Mac and the Genjster were also present in that photo of Winston's "graduation", so they must have had a decent working relationship with everyone. Perhaps the ceremony was in acknowledgment for something they all helped achieve together like the liberation of King's Row or something similar. That said, Tracer is in that shot as well, and since she enlisted about a year after the events of Retribution, that picture would have to have been taken after Blackwatch became public knowledge, which invites speculation for how well awarding Blackwatch operatives might have gone with the public.
Cozy aside: I had a dream about having dinner with Mei last night, and I can't remember the last time I woke up feeling so happy and sad at the same time.
