A gentle tune coming from a guitar could be very faintly heard over the sounds of whirring turrets, repeated gunfire, cascades of rockets, roaring flames, explosions, dying screams, and the squishy noises of body parts. Apparently, the Engineer was currently playing 'Old Man River', a simple tune, but made perfect irony.

*TCHWANG*

"Damn." The Engineer said, as a loose string flicked him in the face. Second time today. He started to wonder if the Spy could now sap his guitar. Given how sneaky and devilish some spies could be, he had a good reason to think that.

"Need a dispenser here!"

"Oh, shut up!"

The Engineer growled. The first voice was definitely the Scout, saying one of his annoying catch phrases. The second voice came from a second engineer, one of the many clones. Thank god the Scout was talking to the first one. Otherwise, the Scout would look weird running around with a broken guitar around his neck.

"Come on, man! We need dat dispenser before RED comes blowing through!"

"I'll place my dispenser where I want to, ya little chickenfoot!"

This continued for a while. The first Engineer decided it was best to ignore them, at least until RED came into the base. He already set up a sentry near the intel, so all the other had to do was keep Spies away…

"Put those away!" The second Engineer said, in a worrying tone of voice. This caught the attention of the first Engineer, who continued to restring his guitar.

"Man, it's a simple request. Just place a dispenser right there…"

"And you'll keep those a secret? Boy, that's not smart."

"I could care less. They can't see me…but they see you…with…"

"Erecting a dispenser!"

The first Engineer realized that he needed a beer. Or three.

He walked back to the spawn room, trying to put together why a clone of him would want to bang the annoying kid. He could suddenly taste lunch.

"Oh, hey Heavy." He said, walking in. "Whatcha gotta there?"

"Photo." The Engineer felt white. The Heavy took notice, and added. "Of wife."

"You're married? Didn't know that."

"Da. Look."

"WOW! Holy…where did you find her?"

"Work. She fixed Sasha."

Despite talking with the Heavy for a hour about his goddess of a wife, the first Engineer still couldn't get of his head…

…how sexy the Scout looked like without his shirt…
