New Comic is up and Medic is back in action

[pocketsurgeon]

If I had a billion dollars to play viz I could bring somevon back from ze dead too. And animal parts. Sophisticated equipment. Unlimited time und resources.

So a lot more zan you're currently giving me. But I am undeterred by your .. shortcomings. Should ze BLU Sniper ein your head be killed by something else ein zere I vill be happy to patch him up! I mean sure zere might be some side effects und failed attempts. But vouldn't zat all be vorzh it in ze pursuit of science?

Genetic splicing is still ein it's infancy, but viz enuff perseverance zink of ze possibilities!

Also let's remember ze whole point vich is: not being dead anymore.

[hasstandards]

You don't... think our Doc could've replaced someone's blood with somethin' from an animal, do ya?

[He's asking for a friend. Yep.]

[pocketsurgeon]

It's entirely possible!

[Hey it's that smile you love! The smug and evil one.]

How do you feel?

[hasstandards]

[Yep. There it is. That smile. Why do all you Medics seem to look alike? Marvel as he cringes.]

Fine. Ace. Glad to be alive so I can get back to work.

[pocketsurgeon]

No unusual side effects? Hallucinations? Nausea? Colorblindness? Inability to swallow?

[hasstandards]

No, so stop asking. I just bloody came back to life.

[pocketsurgeon]

Vell ja, viz ze help of 1.3 billion dollars of somevon elses money.

[hasstandards]

You'd do the same if you could.

[pocketsurgeon]

Of course I vould!

Und you should be grateful. You could haff just been left dead.

[hasstandards]

[Grunt.]

Right. He owed it to me, stabbin' us in the back like that, workin' with those other mercenaries.

[pocketsurgeon]

Oh ja, taking a job to pay ze bills. Being professional.

How terrible.

[hasstandards]

There's a difference in bein' professional and bein' a snake, turnin' on your own team like that.

[pocketsurgeon]

Vere you still a team? You vere ein Australia. Vat vas he supposed to do? Shockingly more people zan just you get horribly injured and need medical attention.

[hasstandards]

They were hired to kill us! He bloody stood there and watched me die!

[pocketsurgeon]

You stand zere und vatch me die all ze time.

[hasstandards]

You're not my bloody teammate.

[pocketsurgeon]

He vasn't anymore either.

[He's not sure why he's defending the RED Medic at this point. Professional pride I guess.]

But he brought you back. I don't zink you appreciate vat a triumph zis is for ze medical community.

[hasstandards]

[Sniper snorts bitterly. He's not about to admit that he's wrong in this argument.]

I'm not sure how thrilled I am about it if he filled me with hyena blood, but at least I can get back to my job.

[S i g h.]

I suppose it could be worse.

[pocketsurgeon]

You should really stop saying zat. Everytime you do it comes true.

[hasstandards]

I'm not sure it could get worse than "I stayed dead," Doc.

Actually, that wouldn't've been so bad.

[pocketsurgeon]

Vell zis could haff horrific side effects. You could slip into a coma, sustain total paralysis, have retrograde amnesia.

[hasstandards]

[Yep. He'd rather be dead than any of those choices.]

How'll I know if I'm gettin' any of those things?

[Not that he's worried. He's not.]

[pocketsurgeon]

I haff no idea.

[He sounds awfully cheerful about that.]

I suppose ve vait und see. You look fine now.

[hasstandards]

Hn.

[Mumble mumble.]

I've looked fine before and had plenty wrong.

[pocketsurgeon]

But zat vas you lying to yourself. You cannot lie to science.
