Winston received a visit from his good friend Dr. [[Siebren de Kuiper]] while at the colony.<ref>''[[Overwatch]]'', ''[[Sigma/Quotes|Sigma Quotes]]''</ref>

Winston once made Journal Entry 1963-4, regarding a status update on the hamster subject Specimen 8, whom the staff had named "[[Hammond]]". He noted how Hammond was continuing to be one of their biggest surprises among the subjects. The staff had trouble keeping track of him due to multiple escapes from his cage, even though he had physically grown in size from the genetic modification. Hammond demonstrated impressive problem solving skills and adaptability, and had overcome all challenges placed before him. Winston couldn't help but wonder what Hammond was looking for during his escapes, and closed that he looked forward to whatever trouble Hammond would get into next.<ref name = "Wrecking Ball Origin">2018-06-29, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEnC_N06Uxc&t= [NEW HERO – COMING SOON] Wrecking Ball Origin Story | Overwatch].

In the base's last days, Winston corresponded with fellow staff concerning the test subjects, specifically their increased beligerance. Winston agreed with [[Yoshida (Lucheng Interstellar)|Yoshida]] and [[Nevsky]] that the gorillas should be confined to their quarters, but noted that there weren't many good options available to them. Sending the gorillas to Earth wasn't a solution in his eyes (not to mention the medical issues), and expressed his belief that the gorillas were members of the colony as much as any of the base's human staff. He noted that not all of the gorillas had experienced adverse reactions to the gene therapy, but noted that they should slow down further tests, or possibly outright discontinue them. 

Winston's last recorded message was a request for fellow staff members to aid him at airlock E-35, which had malfunctioned.<ref name = "PossibleFate">2017-05-30, [https://playoverwatch.com/en-us/blog/20812209 NEW DETAILS EMERGE ABOUT POSSIBLE FATE OF HORIZON LUNAR COLONY].
