"Engineer's Epiphany [SFM]" by Colonel Fanzipantzen

// text transcript after the cut

(RED Engineer in the 2fort intel room)

Engineer (slamming a fist into his palm): But it's becoming increasingly obvious!

Engineer (raising his arms and swinging them down in agitation): I can deny it no longer!

(Camera cuts to Engineer standing on the intel desk: he is in fact the size of a toy figurine. In the background, RED Heavy and RED Scout look at him in fascination.)

Engineer: ... I am small.

TF2 Big Bang 2023 Fanfic: sent{r}imentalities_

　 <!-- i will protect(you) 　--we.ll get(all the spies) next time 　 ["hell yeah my boy, let's bring em all down."] 　 　--the re:spawn shards 　--do they glow like the ^stars^? 　 ["oh, they're more like a sea of <bluebonnets> at midnight, really."] 　 ["but i'll be praying as hell that--"] 　 ["--you'll never have to see em."] 　

A story of a sentry, as told by the sentry. Also written in pieces of poetry, prose, programming-inspired pseudocode, and probably way too much HTML/CSS. /* Because what am I, if not an experiment too in lifelong progress? */

Dedicated to all the Engie mains out there. Have you said hi to your babies today?

Special, special thanks to @ermg33 and Mimi for your amazing illustrations! And to @tf2bigbang for hosting the event.
