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.

That might be just the prescription I need, Doctor. I'll be sure to give it a try.

[pocketsurgeon]

If nicht, ve can alvays drug him to sleep zrough ze night.

[sentryslinger]

I'll leave that to you. I'm sure you could convince him it's a part of some routine inspection or somethin'. He'd believe you.

[pocketsurgeon]

Zere are some perks to zis job.

[That grin is anything but comforting.]

[sentryslinger]

[He can tell.]

You worry me sometimes, Doc. You're a dangerous man when you want to be.

[pocketsurgeon]

Oh am I?

[sentryslinger]

I say so. People might underestimate ya, but you can cause some real problems for the REDs when they don't keep an eye on you.

[pocketsurgeon]

Zat, of course, ist assuming I can go more zan a meter vizout being blown into pieces.

[sentryslinger]

That's where the rest of us are supposed to be lookin' out for you. You keep 'em healthy, and they keep you safe.

[pocketsurgeon]

I do nicht zink most of zem got zat memo.

Perhaps I vill haff to remind zem.

[sentryslinger]

Perhaps you should, Doc. You're one of the most important people on the team. We can't do it without ya. If it takes Soldier blowing his feet off a few times or Demoman realizin' that runnin' into a gunfight with a sword'll get him in over his head in a hurry, then so be it. They'll learn to listen.

[pocketsurgeon]

Zat seems somevat cruel. But effective.

[He likes the way you think!]

Ve shall see. Especially if any of zem even show up here.

[sentryslinger]

I'll let 'em know you were lookin' for them.

[pocketsurgeon]

Danke. I suppose all ve can do ist vait. Vait und see who shows up. At least I haff a game to look forvard to. But ze respawn ist broken somehow.

[sentryslinger]

That's what Miss Pauling was tellin' me. Says one of the other doctors there lost a part of his memory when he went through it. You'd best steer clear of it, Doc. I wouldn't want the same to happen to you.

[pocketsurgeon]

Ja, I vanted to see how zat happened, if it vas because of ze respawn itself of if he had been drugged somehow but he ist not zere anymore. Anozer opportunity, vasted.

[sentryslinger]

I'm sure there will be others, Doc. I don't mean to be pessimistic, but that's the way things go sometimes. She made it sound like tensions might be high. Do you know what you're gettin' into?

[pocketsurgeon]

I haff no clue. Zis mundane person refuses to tell me anyzing. Says it's better if I don't know vat's going on. I only know zat my teammates are two Snipers und a female Spy. Und ze RED's haff a Pyro, a Sniper und two Scouts.

So ve are outnumbered. Especially since ze haff zree people skilled ein offensive fighting. And ve haff.. nozzing but support.

[sentryslinger]

You ain't outnumbered. With you, that's four on each side. And though you're mostly support, look at it this way: you can do a lot more with someone healin' your team. They'll eventually run outta steam.

[pocketsurgeon]

Oh vight, I forgot to count myself into zat. Hm. An interesting oversight.

Or ze Snipers vill run out of bullets. Ve shall see. I am told zey are not fighting or zere ist some kind of truce ein effect.

[sentryslinger]

So I heard. You'd better watch your back all the same, just in case. As the Medic, you're well aware of how quickly they'll gun for ya.

[pocketsurgeon]

Oh I know. Und I vill. Especially if zere are Spies zey are nicht telling me about.

[sentryslinger]

Good. Let's hope you and me both stay alive next time we meet on the battlefield. If nothin' else, we'll keep each other movin'.

[pocketsurgeon]

Grundsätzlich. I vill nicht lie, haffing a sentry around ist somevat reassuring.

[sentryslinger]

And havin' you around is helpin' me keep calm, too. We might not be the best fighters, but I'm still convinced that together, we can do a lot. Even without the sentry, you've got that crossbow of yours. As for me, you don't have to be good to do some damage a shotgun.
