>>3200778I'm actually optimistic about HSI being more than just 'generic secretly evil PMCs' too, so I can agree with that speculation, even if it does leave me wondering what sort of grand gesture the boys formerly in blue would need to do to win the faith again.
Although I could maybe see it being a covert sort of deal maybe? "Absolutely no Overwatch guys in their old bases you pay us to guard UN, nope nope. Promise. Those are our guys. Just trying on the old uniforms for giggles." - Totally truthful security guards.
Or maybe 'recruit' them as some special unit ala Blackwatch, minus the War Crimes? Hilariously incompetent or not, the UN is still the UN and the Petras Act is still a thing, BUT it's their fault for only declaring -Overwatch- activity illegal
