Ask Miss Pauling

Hello. I'm Miss Pauling. I'm here to answer any questions you may have concerning myself, TF Industries, or any of my co-workers. Please be aware that certain information is classified. Thank you. [[Miss Pauling does not belong to me, obviously she belongs to VALVe. This is not a roleplay blog in the traditional sense; simply a question and answer sort of thing. If you'd like to rp more in depth with my Miss Pauling I've got a separate blog for that over here. Feel free to come say hi.]]

Hi.

If there’s anyone out there who still follows this account and is still active- the last comic came out today. End of an era.

Thanks for everything, love you guys.

[askthescout]

I don’t… think so?

Just in case you missed it, click for new comic :].

But if the new weapons are higher powered, why did you get rid of the rail gun?

Again, nail-based weaponry. More dangerous than you might think.

But in all actuality, I suppose the weapon was scraped due to its various drawbacks. The ammo reserve, bullet speed, rate of fire, and what have you. 

[askmisspauling]

Miss.P, Your thoughts on the Marasmus hauntings?

Honestly, I could do without the whole thing. But I suppose it wouldn't be Halloween at TFI if something absurd didn't happen.

Does TFindustries use technology from the Classic era? (Team Fortress Classic)

The mercenaries' current cache of weapons are more or less descendants from the older technology of the Classic era. Most of the older weapons have been reworked into the higher power, better functioning weapons you see today. 

Though I can't begin to explain how relived I was when we stopped letting the scouts use nail guns. I've never seen so many weapon related injuries during ceasefire as with the nail gun.

Hysterical? Really.

Did you know that in the Medic's video, it showed you with a clipboard in the background? What were you doing?

Yes, I’m aware of my presence in the video. I usually attempt to stay out of the camera’s line of sight, but accidents happen, I guess.

As for what I was doing there: I observe all experimental medical procedures. The Administrator likes me to keep tabs on all new inventions that have been created on company property.

Oh, ah... Miss Pauling. Good afternoon. I do apologize for the intrusion; however, I was wondering... Would you care to go out for dinner sometime? I'm sure that Mr. Hale would allow me to take /one/ night off for some 'personal time'. --Offers a charming, boyish smile.--

...dinner? I'll have to check my schedule, but I don't see why not. There's always time for dinner with a friend.

I do not know who that other man is, Frau Pauling, but I can assure you I have absolutely no interest in you - and even if I did, I would not be such an idiot as to hit on my supervisor, of all people.

Don't fret, doctor. I'm aware the other doctor isn't you; and I'm quite aware of your...lack of interest in me.

Besides, this whole situation is really fairly harmless. 

[askmisspauling]

*shoulders bat* So whose idea was it exactly ta start bringin' in girl recruits?

I'm not sure. Mister Hale's, I think. 

Frankly, I'm surprised we didn't start recruiting women right off the bat. I mean, you all seem more than capable.

[askmisspauling]

Red medic: *produces a heart from behind his back* for you <3

Um..thank you, doctor. 

*tentatively takes the heart*

Whose- uh, whose heart is this? 

[askmisspauling]

You are quite capable at times and I think you don't get enough credit for your work.

Oh, thank you. It's always nice to see that my work is being appreciated. 

[askmisspauling]

would one team member killing another team member be against contract?

We take certain precautions to ensure that doesn't happen. But yes, it would be against contract. 

[askmisspauling]

Scratches has wandered away from his owner, Mary. He looks at Miss Pauling, and gives a grating "Rrrrrow! Brrrow?" The scraggly zombie cat watches her.

Um. Hello, kitty...

[askmisspauling]

Miss Pauling what gun magazines do you subscribe to? I need more reading material for Sasha.

There are quite a few, actually. If you'd like, I can drop some off for Sasha next time I'm on base. 

[askmisspauling]

DAMMIT PAULING. YOU'RE THE BEST. HAPPY SECRETARY'S DAY, WHENEVER IT IS. HAVE AN EAGLE.

...Mister Hale?
