1 - Observation Deck
76 is not exactly thrilled with this turn of events, if these events are even real. He’s not convinced this isn’t some kind of simulation meant to ply him for intelligence—he wouldn’t put it past some of his enemies, but he has to admit this is extremely elaborate.
He doesn’t take the oath. Says that he needs time to consider, but that’s sort of a lie because he doesn’t intend to concede unless they can come up with an extremely good reason for him to do so. This isn’t his fight. The Legion, as it’s been described, reminds him all too much of Overwatch, and he’s not sure he’s ready to walk that road again, not after how that went down. Saving the world (universe? multiverse?) is all well and good, of course, but 76 has learned the hard way what an impossible task it really is. He’s not keen on doing it again—doesn’t trust that they’re not making the same mistakes he did.
It wouldn’t frustrate him so much if he hadn’t been right in the middle of progress back home. He’d found Ana. Felt for the first time in a very long time that he was on his way to answers, and now this. Is it any wonder he doesn’t want to sign himself over to this?
The observation deck is almost laughably appropriate for this kind of introspection. 76 could have gone to space (or at least into orbit) whenever he wanted, but he’d never exactly found time, like he never found time for an innumerable list of things. Now, he spends his first few hours out of the medbay staring down at the Earth, wondering what he could have done differently, or if this was inevitable all along.
This huge dude in full tactical gear and deep contemplation is definitely someone you want to talk to, right? Right.
2 - Sim Room/Training Gym
But he’s not about to let himself be idle. Hallucination or simulation or not, it pays to keep sharp, so when he’s not trying to learn every inch of this new place, he’s running himself through almost everything he can get his hands on in the training facilities. Since he can't do anything to solve his current problem (one which is still a little baffling to him), he figures now is as good a time as any to go blow off some steam by shooting things.
76 isn’t especially creative when it comes to this sort of thing, so he programs up a relatively simple target range, which he guesses is a nice thing to be able to do. Being kidnapped to space and/or being stuck in a space hallucination is no excuse to let himself slip.
You might not want to interrupt him while he’s shooting (his very big gun), but maybe, possibly, he will not react badly to being approached. We can hope, anyway.

Sorry, what was that about more than two words at a stretch? Better luck next time, maybe.
"Got mid-range rockets, though."
They're definitely not for stunning.

"Why'd you sign on?"

Because he's not convinced that this isn't some sort of simulation. Maybe he's crazy, even. He's just finding all this a bit hard to swallow, and isn't about to sign himself over to a cause that isn't his. Everyone has an ulterior motive.

Mostly 76 is far too wrapped up in his personal mission to just accept this as an answer. He's too paranoid, too suspicious, and too world-weary to jump at the chance to save the world, or even believe it's in danger from something like this in the first place.
"I was in the middle of something back home."

Then again, this guy probably has no idea why it isn't. "For what it's worth, someone got sent home and brought back here again a while back. He said the Time Trapper put him back exactly where and when he'd been pulled from in the first place, so none of us are losing any time here."

"Yeah?" But he sounds like he doesn't believe that, either. "Who?"

76 knows he's not the easiest guy to get along with, but this just seems purposefully annoying. When he elaborates, he sounds exasperated, like it's very silly Wash wouldn't know why he's asking for the identity of this person.
"I'd like to hear it from him."
What'd you think he was gonna do, dude?

He's not going to shoot any ankles, geez! Now he's suspicious--clearly Wash is either lying, or hiding something.
"Just interested in getting the intel first hand, that's all."

Seriously, what's the deal here?
"If you're worried I'm gonna shoot him in the ankles, you should just say so. I ain't stupid."
Because really, that's the only explanation for this guy right now. What planet...does he live on...
