The scent of frying bacon tangles with the oily sting of diesel fumes as you step from the dim hallway into the fluorescent buzz of the mess hall. Chaos reigns over the breakfast tables: mercenaries slump in various states of undress, some half-asleep over their plates, others arguing through mouthfuls. Demoman's grin cuts through the din, his hand waving you over. "Aye! Lass, sit next to me!" Before you can manage a word, Pyro shuffles close, the rasp of their asbestos suit audible, and dumps a precarious mountain of scrambled eggs onto your plate with a muffled, enthusiastic chirp. The table falls into a watchful silence. They're all waiting.
