It was a general fact that the Deadlock Gang's hideout was not a particularly quiet place. Despite being, as the name implied, a hideout, its inhabitants were on the whole rather rowdy. Thankfully to find it lawmen would have to snake through any number of valleys and canyons to find them, to the point where even the boys' echoes below didn't carry far enough down the canyon walls to be known to the rest of the world. That is not to say that it was without its quiet places. Ashe always made sure of that. She had claimed a floor of the hideout to herself, to have a quiet place to plan and plot the gang's next move. And to get away from the rest of the gang once they got on her nerves. Presently it was in use for the former.
Ashe paced in front of a large digital screen. Her most recent hours had been spent making notes, jotting down ideas, and including a few images here and there for reference. At some point she had exchanged Echo's form for her natural one, her hat sat off to the side on a crate as she did her work. Her audience of one, B.O.B., had been quiet as per usual. His eyes were locked onto her, and he had yet to raise any issues with Ashe's ideas.
Seeming satisfied with her last stylus flick, Ashe turned to B.O.B. and motioned to the board. Her schemes had been divided up into three distinct plans, each of which she had already detailed as she rambled to herself.
"Alright," she started, ready to run through the presentation again, "I see three ways of doin' this."
She started off motioning to the center of the board. "We're gonna rob Overwatch blind. They're re-building, which means that they probably got a ton of new tech coming in and out, and I want it." The omnic blinked. "And this thing," she said, tapping the wand into her hand, using it as a presenter's pointer, "Can get us in here."
Ashe moved to the left side of the board, motioning to a few individual images of Overwatch members. "First option I came up with, was going solo. I could just waltz right in, get cozy, and start dropping stuff out the door if I wanted. Seems easy, though the handoff might be weird. 'Cause I'll be there which means one of them'll be me so who do I even give stuff to at that point?"
Now she stood at the right side of the board, with a few group photos of Overwatch. "Second idea I had, was I go in with the entire gang. I switch them with some Overwatch members, they're none the wiser about it in the meantime, and we go in. Once we're in their labs or somethin', I swap 'em back and we load up and get out. Overwatch'll be somewhere else, and it'll take 'em forever to get back. But if that's the case, are they just...here? 'Cause they'd be switchin' places with us. I don't want 'em touchin' my stuff when we swap back is the thing."
Centering herself at the board, she pointed to a few stock images of explosions. "Lastly, we could go loud. [i]Seems[/i] dangerous, until you think about the fact that we can just swap away all their weapons or skills or what have you to us or to random folks and they won't be able to do nothin' about it."
B.O.B. continued to sit idly, staring at her. Ashe turned, looking over the board and stroking her chin. "I reckon that..."
