===Rise and Shine=== Snowball operated with a team of [[Overwatch (group)|Overwatch]] scientists at [[Ecopoint: Antarctica]].<ref name = "Rise"/> Disaster struck the station when it was hit by a polar storm,<ref name = "Mei"/> damaging the station's solar array.<ref>2016-11-23, [http://overwatch.blizzplanet.com/blog/comments/ecopoint-antarctica-lore Ecopoint: Antarctica Lore]. ''Blizzplanet'', accessed on 2016-25-11</ref> Cut off from the outside world, the scientists were left stranded in the damaged facility. As their supplies dwindled, they entered cryostasis in a last-ditch effort to survive until a rescue attempt could be made.<ref name = "Mei">[http://us.battle.net/overwatch/en/heroes/Mei/ Mei], ''Blizzard Entertainment''. Accessed on 2015-11-07</ref> Snowball itself entered power saving mode. [[File:Snowball-sad.jpg|thumb|left|The helicopter is a no-go]] Nearly a decade later, the base picked up an external transmission, which prompted the pods to be reactivated. However, [[Mei]] was the only one who emerged. Upon examining the data she'd collected while she'd been in stasis, she realized that the amount of data was extraordinarily large, and Snowball revealed that she'd been in stasis for nine years. They quickly discovered that Overwatch had been shut down in the intervening period, and that they had no means of contacting the outside world. They likewise soon discovered that the other scientists had perished while in cryo. Snowball did what it could to comfort Mei. She decided that she had to get her data out to the world. However, leaving the base wouldn't be easy, as the satellite dish was broken, a blizzard was raging outside, the snow-crawler was snowed in, and Snowball confirmed that the helicopter was inoperable. [[File:Mei-RiseShine4.jpg|thumb|"Rise and shine, sleepyhead."]] Mei set about creating a device that would repair the dish, so they could listen to the transmission that had been picked up. Close to completion, the base's batteries gave out, which also meant that she couldn't finish the device. Snowball decided on its own to completely drain its batteries to power Mei's workstation, not knowing if Mei could ever recharge it ever again. However, its actions allowed Mei to finish her work, and learn that the transmission had been sent by [[Winston]], issuing a recall for Overwatch agents. Mei left the base by hiking across the Antarctic landscape, now that the blizzard had ended. She carried Snowball on her back, plugged into a charger connected to a portable solar panel. Under the Antarctic sun, Snowball was recharged and 'awoke,' much to Mei's delight.<ref name = "Rise"/>
