So About that Comic...

[sentryslinger]

Well, at least it looks like you can cast your fears about where I've been aside. No, I wasn't abducted by Gray Mann, or forced to work on robots.

That's not to say that all I've been doin' has been completely in line with the law, but a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do, and as far as I'm concerned, it's my job to do the upkeep on my machines. What kind of an Engineer would I be if I didn't?

Nice beard.

[Someone had to be the first to say it.]

I SEE WHAT YOU DID. <3

[sentryslinger]

[He rubs the back of his neck sheepishly.]

Looks like it just got away from me. That's what happens when you don't have to get up every morning to go build machines in the desert sun.

I KNOW NOTHING~~~ xD

[notintehkitchen]

It's not a bad look on you.

[Pyro is just happy that she doesn't grow facial hair like those Australian women.]

[sentryslinger]

You think so?

[notintehkitchen]

I wouldn't say so if I didn't think it myself.

[Let's be honest, she would like Engie in just about anything.]

[sentryslinger]

Well, I might have to give it a try on the job, then. Assumin' we ever get our jobs back. Maybe I'll be stationed somewhere it snows by then.

[notintehkitchen]

Snow? That's too freezing for me!

[She's not fond of that type of weather.]

A Pyro does best in a different type of weather.

[Even though Sawmill sees rain like cats and dogs.]

[sentryslinger]

You could always keep yerself warm with your fire, now couldn't you?

[notintehkitchen]

That's true, but it's more work. Wouldn't your machines be ice cold?

[Whoops. Now she sounds lazy.]

Snow is slippery...

[sentryslinger]

They would, and it is, but if you've got a job to do, you've just got to buckle down and get it done, no matter what kind of conditions you're in.

[notintehkitchen]

[It's always impressive to hear him talk about work. He seems passionate.]

Engineer is a very hard worker but he should take a break sometimes.

[sentryslinger]

I probably should, but you oughtta know by now that I just get wrapped up in it sometimes. Once your mind gets goin', it's hard to stop until you've turned your idea into a reality, whether it's a machine or even just a blueprint.

I'm sure you get like that from time to time, don'tcha?

[notintehkitchen]

I'm not smart enough to make things like that but... I've been told I'm very stubborn so it's a possibility.

[She's good at not leaving people alone and wanting attention like a puppy dog.]

[sentryslinger]

Oh, come on now. You might not have the kind of mechanical smarts I do, but don't put yourself down like that. Everyone is smart in their own way, or we wouldn't be the experts we are in our respective fields.

[notintehkitchen]

A Pyro has an expertise?

[Besides being a filthy suicidal arsonist willing to dive into a horde of enemies?]

It seems like I would be easily replaceable compared to many others.

[sentryslinger]

As opposed to someone like Soldier? Or Scout?

None of us is easily replaceable, Py.

[notintehkitchen]

Soldier is good at collecting heads and Scout makes everyone feel better about themselves.

[She's also stubborn at taking any sort of compliment or attempt at making her feel better. Regardless, she tends to keep a upbeat and perky personality.]

All I know is that I don't want to be replaced, I'd be sad if I couldn't watch over Engie!

[sentryslinger]

I'm sure your Engineer appreciates that. You can ask him yourself about how smart you are. I'm sure he'd tell you better than I could.

[notintehkitchen]

I don't mind your opinion either.

[That goes without saying. Pyro loves talking to him! He's an Engineer how could she hate him?]

[sentryslinger]

Well, I just gave you mine, but it seemed like it went in one ear and out the other.

[shhhhh_secret]

Speaking of Engineering, et seems zat et ez just a matter of time before zings are headed back to ze status quo again. Perhaps et would not hurt to get a head start on ze REDs.

(Engineer and Spy roadtrip shenanigans is a go? :3)

[sentryslinger]

[I cannot imagine the possibilities there.]

I'm not sure how headed back they are, Spy. Hell, the REDs might not even make it out of this one.

[shhhhh_secret]

(It would be amazing and glorious.)

Zey've won against worst odds before. And even ef zis batch doesn't make et, ze Administrator will simply replace zem.

[sentryslinger]

That's if she comes back around.

[shhhhh_secret]

(Raises eyebrows.)

You zink she wouldn't? Don't fool yourself, Laborer, she loves her job. You've heard her on Payload missions when we get close to ze Terminus, have you not?

(In case you haven't, take a listen. That lady's got problems, son.)
