RED; OPEN RECORDING; CODE [ R-PY ].
For the first time since the start of the attacks, today’s announcement comes through the speakers, rather than being pinned up on the notice board. “Hopefully Monday’s battle wasn’t too horrid for all you’s. Just wanted to remind you our next scheduled attack is Friday through to Saturday, so I hope none of you were expectin’ a nice, mid-April break. I’d also like to take a moment to thank both BLU Medics, havin’ upgraded both their Mediguns. Not... quite sure exactly what they’ve sorted out, but it’s somethin’. Also, we’ve got a bit more of a punch to pack! More man power--or woman power, if it ain’t sexist to say so. I’d like to welcome RPY-575857, Samantha Brandt, to RED--not that colors matter much now, but you’ll still be livin’ with that team. I can tell you now, we really appreciate you bein’ here. We need all the Pyros we can get for pushin’ the bomb back. Keep at it, mercs.” And then the speakers fall silent. For a few seconds, anyway, before spluttering put an afterthought. “--And for the record, that ain’t how you use the canteens, you bloody idiots. I saw all that. The idea is that you buy the crap that goes in them at those upgrade stations, not... whatever it is you morons are doin’. Sure you can work out the rest from there, but really?”
