[That’s what he wanted to know—whether she’s familiar with him or not, and the answer she gives is more than satisfactory in that department. It’s not that 76 cares whether or not all these former Overwatch agents like him or approve of what he’s doing. What he needs to know is whether or not they’ll be trying to apprehend or otherwise accost him, even if home is, quite literally, a universe away.
But Angela isn’t implying any of that. She’s being as open and compassionate as he remembers, based solely on the fact that he tries to avoid killing innocent people if he really has to. Helix Security was just doing their job when he broke into Grand Mesa, so of course he’d done his best to injure rather than kill. Of course she’d pick up on it.]
Wasn’t exactly looking for your blessing, Doc.
[Because, despite everything, it does miff him a little, that she seems to think he needs to hear all this. He has a job to do, a mission to complete, and for all she knows, he’s no better than Talon. He doesn’t need her approval, but maybe that’s just the part of him that wants them to hate him for what he’s done.
All that, however, is a moot point, given where they are. He doesn’t shake her hand, but he will introduce himself (whatever that means, anyway).]
