segadores-y-soldados:

An important detail often overlooked in discussions on Retribution:

Retribution occurs before Uprising.  Blackwatch is suspended after the team’s different debriefings.

However, a year later, not only are Gabriel Reyes, Jesse McCree, and Genji Shimada still present in Overwatch, they continue to actively work as Blackwatch agents despite the suspension.  Jack Morrison, the Strike-Commander, and Ana Amari, the Strike Captain, effectively do nothing to stop them (and appear to even semi-encourage them or rile them up).

So, even though McCree is angry and furious throughout the Venice mission, whatever he learns during Reyes’ debriefing is enough to convince him to stay in Overwatch for another 1-2 years.

More importantly, whatever Reyes tells Morrison, Amari, and Lacroix is not enough to convince anyone to kick him out of Overwatch.

It is not Reyes’ integrity nor his “trustworthiness” that’s on the line during his debriefing.

It is something else.

An “ongoing investigation” begins at the end of Reyes’ debriefing.

It is almost certainly Overwatch/Blackwatch investigating itself.

This is the Overwatch “mission map” that is present in the background of the Uprising comic.  These are “ongoing missions”.  They include:

• A mission in Tokyo, Japan: likely the investigation of the Shimada clan
• A mission in Nigeria: likely the investigation into Doomfist (Akande)
• A mission in Cairo or Giza, Egypt: this mission is unknown but may be related to the Anubis AI confinement, or the “Overwatch official murdered” in a “Cairo incident.”
• A mission in Rio de Janeiro: an unknown mission but could be related to activities that facilitate Vishkar’s work there in the future.
• A mission in Dorado, Mexico: may be related to Los Muertos or the beginning foundation of LumériCo, which Jack Morrison is actively investigating in the present-day (as Soldier: 76).

• A mission in London, UK: this is Null Sector’s hostile takeover of London

And lastly

A mission in Switzerland.

Overwatch’s main headquarters were located in its “Swiss Base”.  The exact location of this base is unknown.  However, if you have followed me for awhile, you know I believe it is in Geneva, which is roughly where that dot is located.

Now, there are at least two major possibilities here:

• Overwatch is investigating itself
• Overwatch is investigating the United Nations, which has a major office in Geneva

Both of these are very interesting, as the first option tells us that Overwatch has caught wind of Talon agents infiltrating it.  The second option would be that Overwatch believes the UN (or members in it) have become compromised.

In my opinion, the first option is more likely, given that it seems like Blackwatch and Overwatch have figured out what Moira is up to.  However, I’m not ruling out the possibility of the second option either.  The two possibilities do not actually contradict each other, and it’s entirely plausible that both are occurring as Uprising is on-going.
