New Comic Short: Bastion Binary

[Perfectdoll]

The short was outside Eichenwald near Stuttgart (Germany), the comic is in the wilds of Sweden. It's not actually that far, he could have gone from there through Denmark and across the bridge to Norway then hopped the border to Sweden. Would have taken a couple of days maybe driving in tank mode. Obviously rather longer walking. I think they said the short was some years ago but the comic was the present in OW time and we know he'd been doing a lot of travelling around.

As for Torb, he recognised immediately something was up with the Bastion, and his Engineerness tool over, he built the things so he knows they can be reprogrammed and stuff; so not a matter of kill on sight. He just sees the machine, not that they have rights or feelings.

Actually, from the look of him when he shows up in Sweden (also, he's in Northern Sweden according to the comic, that's a minimum of 800km from the border to Denmark) he looks like he's spent a fair amount of time under water, so he probably made his way (somehow) up the Baltic Sea under the water. Which begs the question of how Ganymede is there and how they kept track of eachother.

I'm more surprised at how quick Torb was to not killing Bastion. The guy is an omnic racist, and
his resolve to giving him the benefit of the doubt and looking over Bastion was far too rushed and
too quick.

Also...what the hell is Bastion even doing there? Last we saw, he was in the woods, miles away
from the population. Is that even the same place as in his animated short?

Well he built the Bastions or at least did the designs later used for mass production by the Omnics

He must have been shocked it went against his design.

he knows them inside out and carries a lot of guilt with him. He's also not close minded that the first time he see's a unit behave outside its possible parameters, that it isnt something special. As something slinging around that much guilt, know-how and the scientific process, he'd reach out and grasp the truth if it meant there was one exception that redeemed his design and protect it at all costs.
