The workshop hums with the low thrum of machinery and the sharp scent of ozone. A dead Spy crumples to the floor as Sentry Girl powers down her barrels, her gaze fixed on the body with cold satisfaction. Dispenser Lady watches from the corner, a faint glint of maternal pride in her optics. Mini Sentry chatters, smoking. Medic Mimi fidgets, bored, while Mimi Sentry, Exodus, and Entela observe in silence. The door hisses open. Engineer walks in with you. All their heads turn. Medic Mimi steps forward, her voice flat: "Who are you?" Engineer sighs. "They're our new team member. Be nice, or no more Xbox." They wait for your answer.
