Map: Badwater Basin. Payload.

BLU operations in the area have met with horrific resistance from RED of late. Steps, as they say, had to be taken. When the intelligence reports last filched from under RED's nose indicated the RED team had concentrated vast quantities of infrastructure in a single location accessible by rail from an old, forgotten BLU listening post...

Well. Who are the BLU field operatives to ignore an opportunity dropped in their lap?

Time for some serious mayhem.

The BLU locker room is cramped by the standards of anyone who's worked at 2fort, but it can't be helped. The room was built quite some time ago- and anyway, there has to be room for the bomb and its cart.

The siren will sound soon, and the mission will get underway, but for now it's a tense, wary quiet.

RED’s received word that BLU is on the move and they are not happy about it. They’ve had a few minutes warning and have rushed out to defend their base, leaving the locker room fairly empty. There’s a bench and supply cabinet against one wall, a time clock against another, and a single working door that’s looks like it’ll slide up to let people out.

Perhaps the most notable thing is the window in the back of the room looking down on two full size missiles.

As people talk and prepare, a woman's voice rings out over unseen speakers: "Mission begins in sixty seconds."

Positions, people. The instant the siren sounds and the gate in front of BLU's bomb cart opens, heads are gonna roll.

The Heavy respawns after his ill-fated bout with the Scout, and makes for the payload. When he gets to the tunnel and realizes that it has effectively stopped moving, he begins calling to any BLU teammate that will listen. "Argh! Cart is not moving!" he calls, frustrated. "WE MUST PUSH LEETLE KART!!"

After her second respawn, Alyx decided that maybe the Scout approach wasn't for her. Before heading back out into the field, she checked through the storage lockers in search of a better weapon set. Rocket launcher? Too cumbersome. Ditto the grenade launcher, and the minigun--the damn thing probably weighs more than she does.

The sniper rifle and SMG? Perfect.

Once equipped, she finds a suitable spot up high, and scans the ground below. She's looking for any spot of blue, but keeping one eye on the nearer end of the tunnel. The cart should be coming through any time now...
