*After the call from Miss Pauling Sniper headed over to Engie's just to check on his only friend. Watching him work on his sentry everything seems to be normal.*

G'day Truckie?

[hardhat_truckie]

(Only friend? Really?)

Howdy there Slim. How're things going for ya?

(Because that might change soon.)

[bye_to_yer_head]

*He's gonna trade you in on Crowley.*

You tell me. Seems strange things are goin' on. What's that yer workin' on anyway?

[hardhat_truckie]

Well, everythin' seemed fine. Maybe it's just you. And it's a sentry; it's meant ta shoot down certain targets. Like yellow-bellied BLUs.

(At this moment, the RED Engie presses the side of the machine, and it starts shootin' bullets at one of the targets, which so happened to be blue in colour.

You might want to reconsider that trade-in, Sniper.)

*He folds his arms and just watches for a minute.*

An' who exactly you plannin' on using this on? Thought you were makin' it to keep your house safe come Halloween.

*As opposed to shooting him and Scout and Medic and Pyro.*

[hardhat_truckie]

Course I'm keepin' it safe, campground. There won't be a problem, s'long as certain crazy gunmen stay away from mah lawn.

You still tyin' up ya folks, Slim? If ya are, I might just give'em a sentry ta protect themselves from ya. Ever think that ya might have a mental problem there?

[bye_to_yer_head]

*He narrows his eyes at the RED. Then very deliberately steps onto Engie's lawn.*

You ever think you moight be a bit too attached to these contraptions of yours? And I'd loike t' see you jus' try to get into my house t' give those drones a sentry.

[hardhat_truckie]

Well, at least they're something beautiful. They're a sight for sore eyes, 'specially after seein' your plug ugly face. And it won't be hard either; I mean, I've blown up lotsa BLU Snipers in the past. Maybe one of'em might've been you; ya certainly look that squatter I blasted clear out of Teufort.

[bye_to_yer_head]

Ain't been there. And I doubt yer little toys got th' range to catch any of us.

*Sniper is very slowly getting closer to that sentry of yours Engie.*

Considerin' ya barely took out that fence 10 feet away I'm not too worried.

[hardhat_truckie]

They can hit far further than that, BLU. And you ain't exactly 10 feet away from me now, are ya? Wanna come any closer and check'em out?

(He's pointing the sentry at you now.)

Or if ya really wanna see how far these babies can shoot, how 'bout ya say hello to the one up there? I know she's itchin' ta say hi to ya too! She's a bit shy, so I hid her behind the curtains and stuff, but I've programmed her to start shootin' the moment any gun shot goes off. Wanna give her a test spin? Ya can do the honors of bein' the first target.

[bye_to_yer_head]

*Hmm. He hadn't counted on a second sentry. Though there's always the possibility that pod!Engie is lying. That seems like something regular Engie wouldn't do, so it would make sense that his fake doppleganger would.*

You really gonna shoot me now? I jus' got here. That's not too hospitable 'f you.

[hardhat_truckie]

Of course not! Why would I do that? I mean, it won't mean nothin' ta me ta shoot ya. You're not a real enough Australian like Saxton Hale for me ta even bother. So you don't have ta worry none.

(Engie smiles. Just. Smiles. But the Sentry's still pointing at you.)

[bye_to_yer_head]

*You're lucky you're not close enough to get punched pod!Engie, because Sniper would have taken your head clear off. Instead he just grits his teeth.*

Guess that finally works out in my favor don't it.

*In between talking to Engie he's surveying that sentry there. It's not all the way finished or upgraded, Sniper's evaluating if he could take it out with the shotgun he has.*

[hardhat_truckie]

Guess it does pardner, guess it does.

(Engie gets back to working on the sentry. It's not upgraded fully yet, but there's still the sentry-that-might-not-be-there on the second floor. And is that a tiny red light behind the shrubs?

Shoot at your own risk, Sniper.)

You should probably be headin' back ta Miss Pauling at the moment. Wouldn't want her to get hurt, right? But then again, I doubt that you can even protect the lady right. All ya do Sniper is run away to a lil hole somewhere and shoot away. Nothin' but a coward. No wonder you're all alone in life; no one wants ta have a dead weight on'em.

[bye_to_yer_head]

*Low. Blow.

He glares at Engie, real, genuine anger in his eyes now. His hand curls against the rifle hanging at his side, wanting nothing more than to shoot the RED right now. But there's always that second sentry. And who know what else is around.*

... No wonder.

*Instead he swiftly moves the few feet between them and throws a punch at Engie. Hard. And full in the face.*

[hardhat_truckie]

(Engie takes the punch in the face. Of course, there's a difference between getting punched in the face by a well-built man than a skinny one. Adding up to the fact that Engie is quite stocky and sturdy, the punch doesn't amount to anything else other than a broken tooth. Engie falls back a few steps, but he's still chuckling.)

Well now, I wouldn't have thought ya had it in ya, Snipes. But that was a mighty sorry excuse of a punch. If ya can't even take me down, how about all the other more dangerous folk around here? Ya really are an embarrassment to ya country. I bet your momma and papa are right ashamed of ya.

(He spits out the tooth and wipes the blood off his chin, but his plastic smile never changes. Only difference is this time, the sentry is pointing straight at you Sniper.)
