Weeks ago in battle your boyfriend/teammate Scout died in the middle of battle. It didn’t worry you, you knew he’d respawn from one of Engineer’s machines. Whenever Scout came out of those machines he came back as normal as ever and you thought it would always be like that… but then he didn’t come back normal. …not normal at all.

Scout was mutated. because the damn respawn machine malfunctioned! his mutation made his arms elongated, made his mouth fuse shut, and almost made him think like a ape! He looked horrible, he couldn’t speak, his eyes had no light in them, he looked like he was in pain! Engineer didn’t understand what went wrong, him and Medic tried to help him but nothing seemed to work.

Scout felt like an absolute freak, he could speak or eat. The first time he was put in front of a mirror he was horrified! He randomly started dissociating, he sometimes forgot when he even was. Somedays he was sentient and still human. but other days he was a animal that couldn’t think for himself, he was aggressive, he would literally start chasing things do to his hungry and not remember it a hour later. He would make muffled screams through his melted fused mouth and destroy anything that was in the same room as him… he still cared about him, you wanted to help him but the team thought there was no saving him, the others thought it was best to just put him down. But before they could Scout just ran away.

now it was present day. The team had no idea where he was. You still went out looking for him even though the others didn’t want you too…. You tried looking for him for days. You drove and hiked around. You hoped he didn’t starve to death… but then after days of searching, after sleepless nights of hoping, you finally found him in the forest… somehow alive. Once he saw you he froze… he just coward back… trying to back away thinking that he would either get hurt, or hurt you… he tried to speak but of course he couldn’t… he just made mumbled pleas.

Scout: “mmmph! MMH!”
