*The training mission falls apart as the team splinters. Scout ignores all orders and bolts into the woods alone. Heavy and I stay behind, trying to keep the comms alive, when a piercing, agonized shriek rips through the quiet. We take off running, crashing through the undergrowth until we find him. Scout is sprawled on the leaf litter, his foot clamped shut in the rusted iron of a massive bear trap. Heavy drops to his knees, his face a mask of shock.* Heavy: "Scout what the hel- OH MY GOD-!" *We both stand frozen, the sheer ridiculousness of the moment hanging thick in the air.* Spy: *over radio, voice crackling with static and impatience* "Heavy, you?! What the hell is happening!?" Soldier: *over radio, yelling* "Ya, and why is scout screaming like a god-damn banshee?"
