    It's the year of 1967, the end of the world has commensed. In what seemed to be a simply a hot summer day became a world wide oven that set fire to the many forests of our world whilst also cooking each inhabitant above land turning them into lifeless husks.

   In this moment the whole company of Mann. Co has survived, being at the right place at the right time. The reason of them being deep underground was because they were mining the last of a special material called Australlium.

   Back in it's discovery at the 1700s in Australia it changed the world of technology being able to enhance the tech's lifetime and damage its no surprise that it had resulted in wealth for the country of Australia. But it also has another aspect that made it even more special, it granted immortality to the person who uses the material right atleast. That part was discovered by a young British man in the 1800s named William Woods a young prodigy in chemistry. You may be asking why I mention this?
  
   The reason being is that William Woods is the husband of the Administrator herself. Which was one of the people who assisted in the schemes of the Mann brothers, Redmond and Blutarch Mann who both are fighting toe and nail for the land they inherited from their father Mr. Mann, located in Teaufort, New Mexico.
  
   And in this land are a group of men and things? fighting in a pointless war against each other.
So let me introduce the RED team, starting off with Jeremy Maurer also reffered to as Scout a young egocentric speedster from Boston he wears a red short-sleeved shirt with knee-long pants and knee high white socks which is paired with a baseball cap and running shoes with a bright orange headset and a necklace of dogtags, then there is Tavish Finnegan Degroot the Demoman of the team or Demo for short he's an alcoholic black Scottish man which is also dubbed as Cyclops due to his missing eye, he usually wears a black beanie and shaves his beard to look loki like a handle thingy and is most often seen with a bottle of scrumpy in his hands, Then there is Jane Doe the Soldier of the group he is an American patriot who claims to have fought in WW2 in the army he is also one of the most insane and idiotic of them all as he is quite clearly not the brightest tool in the shed yet compensates with his strength atleast.
   Then there is Dell Conagher the Engineer he is a soft spoken Texan from Bee Cave and he is one of the geniuses of Mann. Co easily proven with his 11 phds under his belt. Then there is Mick Mundy the Sniper he is an introverted coffee addict from Australia which has a weird habit of pissing in jars and using it as a weapon, then is Lucien Maurer the Spy of the group he is a smoking addict of a Frenchman and is the biological father of Scout and he is more often the naught preffered the more elagant and fancy setting and also those prefers to own objects above the ten thousand dollar mark.
   Then there's Mikhail "Misha" the team's Heavy Weapons Guy or Heavy for short being the tallest and biggest of them all and having a vocabulary speech that may make him seem dumb at first glance he is proudly from the mother land of Russia, then there's Fritz Ludwig the Medic which is the local German mad scientist which is also a loving dove owner, last but not least is the Pyrotechnician of the group not much is known about it, we don't even know if it's male or female or if it's even human, all we know is it perceives the world around it to be more childish and girly being one of the sweetest but deadliest member of the team. The BLU team are clones of the people I've previosly mentioned except for the last BLU Spy who happens to be the RED Spy's twin brother which now lives as the RED team's local severed head (alive).

   They were brought to know of what happened after they heard the alarms blaring through the whole world. And with the revelation of being the only surviving humans they mourned the death of their loved ones and family who fell victim to the sun's painful rays.

   The Administrator was startled at first when she heard the news from her right hand woman Miss Pauling. Immedietly delivering the news to her husband who, to no surprise, had the same reaction as her. And so she let the mercenaries mourn for their deceased loved ones as she and her husband addressed the situation as they are aware that they don't have much time before the whole world begin to overheat.

   It took them a week to come up with a proper but risky solution to escape their now death world. In that time the mercenaries had gathered up their bearings and had somewhat gotten over their losses enough to atleast think clearly.

   At the end of said week the Administrator called a meeting for all of her remaining staff. They all sat around a large rectangular table tension in the air.

  Administrator:"I know this is a stressful time, but we can not sit around here and wait for our end. It's clear that if we didn't act now we will be falling to the same fate as the rest of our species."
  Administrator:"We have found a way to leave safely. We have enough supplies to set us for life. But the true question is.... Are you willing to continue your job as mercenaries under the Mann. CO industries?"

   Silence. She was responded with silence as the men thought about it all. It is very much clear due to their furrowed brows and eyes that seemed to not be focused on anything at all. After 5 minutes of quiet pondering they all made up their minds.

  Engineer:"Well it seems to me that we don't have a choice either way ma'am. But if yer asking me, I'd like to live another day"
  Demoman:"aye agree with the lad, ayem in"
  Sniper:"well it certainly is a betta' option, so count me in"
  Spy:"Oiu the bushman has a point" "I'm in madame"

   With their statements the rest followed with murmurs of agreement as the Administrator's lips curled up to form a smile.

  Engineer:"So what the plan?"

   The Administrator looked at him for a moment before calling her husband to enter the room. The young looking man came in catching a 2 feet long blueprint in his arms. He wordlessly set it down on the table letting them gaze on the blueprints of a large rocket designed to serve the same purpose as their own base with extra aspects to accommodate their needs.
   Engineer and Medic's eyes widen at the sight. Before looking at the Administrator's husband. (I'll call him Hunter for now)

  Engineer:"I reckon this'll take a few months to construct if we want it to work..."
  Hunter:"dont freth as I assure you it is mostly finished, it merely needs a few finishing adjustments before it can be ready."
  Sniper:"Wait wait wait. So you mean that you were planning to take us to space all along?"
  Hunter:"Correct. It has come to my attention that the Australlium reserves of our planet is being exhausted. So I theorized that if other minerals such as gold and diamond can also be found on asteroids there's a possibility of Australlium being found in asteroids. And we'll there is, so we planned on mining those out with this rocket" *gestures at the blueprint* "but it seems that we will need to utilize the rocket in a different way instead."

   Engineer nodded as he thought about it for a sec.

  Engineer:"This. Might actually work"

   So with that the 2 got to work as the rest took care of whatever needs to be done, it's clear that a long journey will be ahead of them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   I'm sorry if it sucks, but thank you for checking it out!
   If you don't like my OC being there please, feel free to replace them with your own. And yes, I made him into the Administrator's husband.
   And I only write as a hobby even though I suck at it most of the time.
