Developing an Arsenal: Overwatch (The Unit)

The Unit park the vehicle at a parking garage near Overwatch HQ. They head outside and make their way for the entrance. The group of five marines head through the revolving doors of Overwatch HQ in Switzerland. As they walk inside, a security guard stops them out front. Before the guard could say a word, Lawson was quick to block any nonsense the guard had to say.

"Brigadier General Lawson of the United States Joint Special Operations Committee. Let us through, Overwatch has already granted clearance for us." The General snaps quickly.

The guard shook his head and hold out one hand in front of them. "I understand. But the UN wants to talk to you and your team first at the U.N Headquarters."

Lawson silently groans with a sense of annoyance before quickly placing a courteous smile back on his face.

"Alright then. I will head to the UN building. But Commander Morrison and Reyes have requested to speak with my team and they would be upset if they were told that our time with the UN cancelled our meeting with the two strike commanders."

The Overwatch head of security nods. "Don't worry, you will talk to them after you meet up with the members of the UN."

"And what do they need us for?"

"To discuss about how much involvement your team should have with Overwatch operations."

The four were tempted to hang out their lower jaw in shock. What did the UN want from them? Before the four field soldiers could argue back the head of security, Lawson quickly turns around and directs the team for the UN building. As the five head through the two glass sliding doors of the UN building, a guard stops them.

"You must be the Navy SEAL team they keep talking about. Is that true?"

Lawson quickly rolls his eyes upward. If they were to be turned away again, the situation would feel like a cluster muck for the U.S. General. "Yes, we were told to head here." He grumbles. He was getting tired of having to be bused to different buildings at a time.

The UN guard blinks for a second before he fires back. "Great, follow me." He says as he began to walk forward. The squad soon follows behind, trailing behind in every way until he stops. The group was led to two wooden doors that have a name labeled 'Gabrielle Adawe'. The name alone gave The Unit a sense of confusion. Why would the secretary-general of war and one of the key architects of Overwatch want to see a highly trained Special Mission team at this time? They are not even part of Overwatch. The answers to that question lie inside the room.

The escort opens the two doors, allowing the Unit to step inside. As they walk into a room filled with rows of empty chairs and a group of tables forming a semi circle at the front, filled with other members of the UN, the door behind the Navy SEAL team closes. The sight of wooden chairs and desks facing the big table of UN representatives feel like a set up for a courtroom.

The Unit wasn't properly dressed for the occasion. But it didn't matter what they wear, it probably wasn't going to change anything once the session begins. The secretary-general of the UN began with a simple question. "You know why you are brought here today?"

General Lawson removes his hat and lowers it to his chest before he responds as a sign of politeness for a high-ranking member of the UN.

"No, Your Honor. I wasn't exactly told why I was ordered to bring my men here." He replied.

"According to what we could gather, your team has been involved with many operations on the globe. It seems you've stopped and prevented many terrorist attacks from taking place". She was reading a binder containing information sent from the Pentagon. It was obvious the information was carefully curated.
