Roll Call

[sentryslinger]

Alright now, Miss Mundane. I know you're wantin' to know how many of us BLUs and REDs there are around these parts, but even if I ask, I can't guarantee everyone will answer. Some folks ain't much for talkin'.

But you're right. It don't hurt much to just ask around, 'less someone comes after me for my occupational affiliation. And I know how to take care of myself if that happens. Now that I can guarantee.

Well hey there, stranger. You're the first one of us Engineers aside from myself I've come across. You'd think there'd be more of us around, but I guess given the very specialized nature of our profession, that might be askin' a bit much.

I guess so, though why they all seem to prefer Spahs is somethin' I'll never understand. Everyone seems ta like those snakes better than an honest man.

I couldn't agree with ya more there, partner. That's just how some mundanes swing, though. Not all of 'em can handle Texans like us.

S'a cryin' shame. Lord knows that the teams couldn't function without some good ol' grease an' bolts. Why, I reckon without our teleporters an' dispensers those boys would have a hard time on the battlefield. Doc can only be in so many places at one time, but the way everyone looks fer the man you'd think they'd want ta split'im half ta spread the healin'.

That's what I'm always tryin' to tell 'em. Everybody's necessary for the work. Even those Spies are an important part of the machine. If only everyone could realize that and try to keep things in balance, they might be a bit smoother around here.

Ya need every part of a machine fer it ta work, even if it's as small as a nut. I'm not lookin' fer the spotlight here, but a lil' appreciation now an' then never hurt no one.

If nothin' else, I can tell you're an asset to your team. Sometimes, our men just wander in there and expect the job to be easy, only to find you've got yourself a sentry defendin' the point. You'd think they'd learn every now and then.
