#I mean engie's family was working for the admin for years so engie just kinda

[im-not-a-sheep]

I just wanna think about how long Miss pauling and scout have actually worked for the administrator (or how old they were when they started working for her)

(This is a nonsense ramble I honestly don't fucking know)

Now let's say miss pauling is the same age as scout, and scout claims he's known her for 6 years? So she definitely has been working for the admin since 21 (same as scout)

But there was a time in game where we didn't know about miss pauling. (Between the release of the game and miss p's introduction in 2009)

The game was released in 2007 and miss pauling was introduced in the WAR! comic in 2009 then does that mean scout has actually worked for the admin since he was 19? (There's a 2 year gap where the playerbase had never heard of miss p right?) Hes known miss pauling for 6 years but that doesnt mean hes been working for the admin the same amount of time right? But has miss p alsp been working long before that and just never introduced herself?

Ok but we all know that scout is 23 during the events of the game (as stated in some description of a toy or whatever... although that's the events of the game not when he started....?)

So if scout started working for the admin at 23... now 6 yr time skip he's now 29?... which doesn't make sense bc in the comics he's 27?

sorry I'm literally sitting here thinking whether or not starting mercenary work at 19 is normal and/or if I'm missing anything from the comics...

Slightly off topic but I see the game and the comics to both have different canons (and the sfms yo be between those 2 canons)

So if we're gonna use the games canon (which has a 2 year gap of scout/the players not knowing miss pauling) then scout started working for the admin at 19, (idk bout miss p.. she could've started earlier but idfk)

But if we use the comic info then it's possible they started at 21

Sorry if you're reading thru this messy writing

Idk if miss p ever said anywhere how long she's worked for the admin... but idk ig its possible they started working at 19 - 21?

Tf2 takes places in what , 1975? Somehwere then right? I asked my brother if working for the army at that age then was normal and he said it is so idk

I mainly wrote this bc they're (or scout is confirmed to be) thr youngest mercs so it was just a random thought

Starting off for our Defense is, Jacqueline Boudreaux. Kinda if Tiana wasn't Tiana. Y'know what I mean? Yeah, you know.

×Mechanic came from an strict household in New Orleans. Being the only child, she was given a lot of responsibility to keep up the Boudreaux's family name. With the family rivalry against the Conagher family still brewing even years later, Mechanic's parents pushed her to become a rivalling mercenaries of Team Fortress in hopes she may even kill the Conagher son. Well, Mechanic is too close to succeeding in her work to care.

×𝓽 𝘳𝓲ꪜ𝓲ꪖ

×Mechanic's entire name is Jacqueline Isabella Boudreaux. But she is mostly called Jack or Jacqui.

×Mech is also who she is referred to.

×She's allergic to cats, ironically. She actually like cats.

×Mech's a workaholic and hardly sleeps, eats, or relax.

×Mechanic often gets worked up and stressed over simple things.

×Mechanic sometimes get picked on by her teammates by being a "stick in the mud."

×Because she hardly ever rest, Mech is most seen being either really tired or really cranky. There is almost no in between.

×Mechanic is seen as bitchy by her teammates.

×Mechanic was accepted in several universities and went to college when she was younger.

×Mechanic has a love interest in the BLU Engineer, but unfortunately she can't bring herself to talk to him often. There's a possibility the feeling is mutual.

×The same Engineer that her family is against, that one.

×The times Conagher and Boudreaux does speak to each other, they are often impressed and intrigued in their knowledge of machinery and combat. Just two nerds being nerds.

×She has a friendly bond with the RED Demoman, but is unaware of his feelings for her.

×Her and RED Demoman are drinking buddies and when he does convince her to take a break, he's often her therapist. He knows of her interest in the enemy Engie.

×She has never met the RED Engie before.

×That being said, she probably never will.

×Mechanic is always the first to know something.

×Mechanic is really antisocial and would avoid talking to people if she doesn't want to.

×She's one of four that wears makeup.

×Mechanic has trouble admitting defeat or when she's weak. She would deny help a lot to feel less of burden to others.

×If you get to get close to Mech, you'd find just how stressed and worked up she is. She finds it difficult to calm down and relax.

×Mechanic LOVES coffee. She likes black coffee more.

×Sometimes Mech just snaps. Like, she just tells you to fuck off with no context.

×She just needs to fucking rest.

×Mechanic gets told down by men a lot, making her assert her dominance through her intelligence.

×Besides RED Demoman and BLU Engineer, she is actually pretty cool with RED Heavy and often treats him like an older brother.

×RED Sniper is annoying in her opinion.

×Mechanic knows something is off about Miss Pauling and the Administrator, but she can't seem to put her finger on it. She's actually really suspicious of them.

×Mechanic's Admin note: Her thighs could crush melons if she tried.

᥇ꪖ𝓽𝓽ꪶꫀᠻ𝓲ꫀꪶᦔ

×Her signature weapon is the Homemade Shotgun. She build it herself. It's powerful and holds up to 6 bullets and has 24 rounds.

×Other weapons is the Homemade Revolver, which is built by her (it's not as strong as the Shotgun, but it has a faster fire rate and she reloads faster. It holds 4 bullets and has 38 rounds) and the Crowbar, actually something that isn't built by her. It takes about 3 to 4 hits to kill someone if you do it right, her last resort if she has no bullets left. It's reliable.

×Mechanic can repair broken and abandoned equipment and use it for her benefits.

×Mechanic can one shot mercenaries of her choosing, but only with her Homemade Shotgun and only when it's a frontal headshot.

×Mechanic can get a fully working sentry, teleporter, or dispenser working for herself. All she has to do is kill the Engineer or sneak.

×Mechanic can repair items for her fellow team. For instance, if the Archer's arrows started to tear or break down she will take it and make her new arrows.

×Mechanic can also make her own 'sentries' which can be switched to auto or manual. If it's manual then she would go to a secluded place and fight using the monitor.

×Mechanic can build certain cameras throughout the battlefield. This could be use to know where people are hiding or camping. If she saw a Spy cloak or turning into a member of her team, she will alert everyone. Only Spys, Pyros, and Engineers can easily spot the cameras and get rid of them.

×Other than these added, she can behave and work 'similar' to the Engineer.

×Her job is to just slow the enemy team down at every chance she gets.

×She's much more weaker against Spys and Heavys.

×Despite not being around a lot, Mechanic changes and manipulates the story the most even with her simple and basic decision. So if something happens, just blame Mechanic.
