On Upcoming Things

[sentryslinger]

You know, Miss Mundane, I'm glad you're all excited about this visitation business, but don't you think you've got enough on your plate these days?

I do too, of course, given these robots we're fightin'. It might just be a game to you, but it's a job for the rest of us. And believe you me, I do take my job seriously.

I suppose that's fair. [He gets that "don't want to talk about this" feeling again, and follows the change in subject.]

You still break my things here on occasion. I'm a little surprised my flyin' Soldierbot head is still in one piece.

[not_onyourside]

Zhe zhing I blew up was an accident. How was I to know you rigged zhem to self destruct?

[sentryslinger]

Got to make sure such things don't fall into the wrong hands, Spy. It's all a part of the business.

[not_onyourside]

You zhink zhe ozzer team ees going to steal your sentry blueprints?

[sentryslinger]

Can't be too careful. It's always a possibility, and if someone's going to be buildin' my machines, it had better be me.

[not_onyourside]

Eef someone else ever does I will break eet een your honour and bring you zhe pieces.

[sentryslinger]

And what if you're the one hired to steal my designs?

[not_onyourside]

Well I would not be zhe one building eet. Whats to stop me from stealing eet and zhen also breaking eet and giving eet to you?

[sentryslinger]

[He can't help but laugh a little at that.]

Don't you think that'd be downright counterproductive?

[not_onyourside]

How so? I am getting paid and no one specifically said not to break eet. I do not see zhe problem.

[sentryslinger]

You'd technically be helpin' the enemy if we were on opposite teams like we normally are. I don't think your employers would be too happy about that, now would they?

[not_onyourside]

Only eef zhey found out.

[sentryslinger]

It might not be an "if." It might be a "when."

[not_onyourside]

Might might might.

I am not going to worry about what might happen. Where ees zhe fun een zhat?

[sentryslinger]

Luck favors the prepared, Spy. It's best to be cautious, especially when it comes to jobs like ours.

[not_onyourside]

Are you giving me advice on not arousing suspicion?

[sentryslinger]

I might be.

[not_onyourside]

Oh Labourer, you really are too precious.

[Cheek pinching time.]

[sentryslinger]

[He swats at Spy's hand.]

Let's not have to have another talk about personal space, Spy.

[not_onyourside]

I do not like zhose talks.

[Shockingly he actually backs away.]

Do not fear for my safety Engineer, I can take care of myself.

[sentryslinger]

I know you can, Spy. I'm just a softie sometimes. You can't blame a man like me for wanting to keep things in running order.

[not_onyourside]

I suppose.

[He's still a little confused as to why someone would care about what happens to him.]

Never fear, all will be well. Until robots invade zhat ees.

[sentryslinger]

[It can't be all that foreign, Spy. Engie has seen how you and Sniper interact all friendly-like.]

And then we'll all be doing whatever we can to survive. Our jobs and Mann Co. are one thing, but I can't help but think of how it could be worse.

[not_onyourside]

Well zhat sounds like Sniper. Everyzzing will be fine. Zhere will be robots, we will fight zhem and zhen we will go home happy, oui?
