001. Cemetery
Sniper sighed quietly as he explored the vast cemetery. It was quiet, and well after dark, but he couldn't rest without seeing the Scout off. They weren't friends, he wasn't there long enough (barely a week) for anyone to really make a relationship with him, but he was still part of the Team. He reached the stone marked with the Scout's name, and making sure no one was around to see, dropped a dandelion on the mound of freshly dug earth.
No one was sure why the respawn system failed to pick him up, but it had everyone afraid. The Engineer was working on the machine at the moment, hoping to find the bug before it happened again.
The Sniper wasn't so sure it was a bug. Each of them had a card inserted into the machine with their respawn profile, so they didn't come back with extra parts that belongs to other people. It was possible that the card had been damaged, or not properly inserted.
Perhaps the administrator had never sent it in the first place.
Either way, Sniper had a feeling the respawn machine would be found in perfect working condition. And when he asked the Engineer, he would mention the respawn profiles weren't in order.
He shook his head. He'd spent far too long here. With a last nod towards the grave, he made his way back to base. The graves seemed to stare as he passed. Were all these unfortunate souls the same? Did they, like the Scout, die when they thought respawn would pick them up? There were so many he wasn't sure if you could even say that all their profiles were mishandled.
There must have been at least a hundred, and all for his area near Dustbowl. It was too many to believe.
Too many lives.
(Made it longer as per request to make things longer xD these firsts ones are so short .w. So I'm addingmore onto them~)
