Miss Pauling,

First and foremost, this letter serves as congratulations from the Reliable Excavations and Demolitions Company on achieving the role of A-Tier Manager.

Congratulations.

Secondly, we are writing to inform you that due to recent developments involving an unwarranted attack from the Builders League United and the subsequent loss of all members of A-Tier, you are out of a job.

Our sincerest apologies.

Thirdly, in line with the emergency promotional rankings, previous B-Tier combatants have been promoted to A-Tier. You are therefore re-enrolled into Reliable Excavations and Demolitions management team

Congratulations. Again.

However, due to several technical issues revolving around the utter incompetency and incredible feats of stupidity performed by inferior parties belonging to Reliable Excavations, two teams from B-Tier have been included in the promotion; this has resulted in a total of eighteen combatants entering A-Tier – nine from the male subsection and nine from the female subsection.

Both teams have acquired the same necessary combat and strategy levels to qualify for A-Tier, passing the final examination in joint first.

Prior testing on the male counterparts placed them in E-tier, however after showing persistence in the field of 'not-dying' they were upgraded to C-Tier. Continued training, perseverance and still proving to be bomb-proof has seen them travel through B-Tier to take the A-Tier aptitude tests. Their female counterparts followed a similar route, with the exception of not making decisions during training one can only put down to insanity (See Company Index for 'the Rocket Man' incident) and continued to grow through the ranks at a steady rate.

Both teams are capable. Both teams are qualified. And as of now, both teams are under your supervision.

B-Tier Managers have advised against the move, considering that placed together you are effectively in charge of eighteen of our deadliest weapons that have not yet had the chance to interact with one another. They have reminded us we are bound by law to share 'concerns of safety and wellbeing'.

We in Administration do not share these concerns.

Do not disappoint us.

Warmest regards,

Administration

I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to my beta for this story, The Archimedes Complex. They are one of the best writers I know on this site, so you should go check out their stories! ( They're really nice too!)

Also, I do not own Team Fortress 2, it belongs to Valve.
