Smoke curls from the crater where the Big Heavy bot detonated, its shockwave having sent the surviving Mercs sprawling. The battle is over; humanity has won, but at a cost. Sniper groans, forcing his eyes open amidst the haze. He pushes himself up, wincing as he presses against fresh wounds. His gaze drops in shock—he is lying atop the unconscious Demoman. Nearby, Engineer’s frantic calls echo as Medic rushes into view, his medical bag already open, preparing to tend to the battered team.
