However Muir-

Ok, hear me out, Still Wakes The Deep Fandom- Second Chance AU!

The entire crew (minus Caz for reasons) wake up on the 26th, screaming with their "dreams" being of their death and the hours leading up to it. Scooby remembers talking to Caz before Rennick found and killed him, Muir remembers holding Innes right before the debris crushed him, and Brodie remembers the horrific feeling of drowning in oil.

Caz, on the other hand, wakes up, reads the letter...and no Trots to interrupt him because Trots is busy puking his guts out because he remembers (with perfect clarity) posing the mutilated bodies of his friends like they were dolls.

No one's in the Canteen because they're all too busy having existential crises, Roy included. Muir is hiding from Innes, and Gibbo is doing the same with Douglas. Rennick is just hiding from everyone.

Caz has zero idea as to why his friends have all gone crazy overnight and why almost everyone but Gregor and Addair is staring at him like he's the damn Messiah.

(Gregor just assumes he had a hyper realistic nightmare until Archie screams for him to stay the hell away from the Helipad. Addair is still a bitch)

Now the crew is stuck working on the rig, stressed out of their minds while Caz is going about his everyday normal duties with no worrying about going to the mainland because Rennick didn't call him to his office.

USERNAME LORE GIVE IT TO ME NOW YOU ALL

Hello??? Oh my god, who the hell made the decision to cut some of these lines???? I have so many thoughts and theories.

Brodie shushing Raffs and talking to him so sweetly, like a little boy.

The voicelines of Caz literally trying and failing to get O'Connor unstuck from the tentacles and then saying he'll come back is just *chefs kiss*

O'Connor crying is haunting

RENNICK ACTUALLY TRYING TO HELP THE CREW???? The line of him calling the evacuation sounds so worried, and then him telling someone named Dobber (maybe Archies og name and personality) that if they won't get the crew to the chopper, he will??? My God?? Rennick went to get the crew to the chopper, and Dobber and someone else who was infected left! We could've had a possible partial Rennick Redemption!

It also sounds like Rennick would've been even less of a threat as a monster, possibly even one of the immobile ones, though Caz has a line mentioning him and Muir at the same time.

Innes could've survived Muir?? Possibly??

Roy would've actually tried to get to his cabin! He beat the useless allegations! One of my main problems with SWTD was Roy saying he would get his insulin, but never doing it! They should've kept those lines in! That Animal Farm line is ducking hilarious.

Originally, Trots would have taken Roy's insulin! Now the "You Cannae have it!" Line makes sense! And then he would've given it to Caz!!

He says:"Roy's sick, Caz!"

And then he gives it to him!

I can't hear very well with the monster noises, but I think at the start of his and Caz's conversation, he says he's ok? And Cold? He definitely says he's sorry at one point, though! Also that he's disgusting, my poor little communist slug.

Roy's death would have been so different. Caz would've walked in talking about Trots and thought Roy fell asleep. He also would've administered the insulin to try and revive him. I honestly don't know which one is worse.

Roper sounds alot more lucid in his lines. Telling Caz to get out (maybe calling him son) and smoking a cigarette with Caz. And then thanking Caz after. Roper only becomes aggressive when Caz talk/yells at Finlay over the phone.

He says one thing before Caz leaves: "Caz, just kill me."

(Also, Addair would've lived longer, but who gives a damn about him?)

Figured it is about time I show a recording of these unused soundfiles. These are from various scenes- And it's about an hour long

Have fun!

Don't forget when Joe Hills called Dream a child

the hermits fucking hate dream's ass btw like they do not like him and you should be embarrassed if you think otherwise

Here Muirness fans come get your juice lol

One thing I would've changed about the 7th TF2 comic would've been to keep the mercs as mercs instead of them (or some of them) fully giving it up.

Like, instead of working for whatever the hell Mann Co ended up doing, they became a group of mercenary freelancers together like how the Team Fortress Classic mercs did.

For example, Spy and Engineer (or maybe even Miss Pauling) being in charge of accepting jobs and assigning themselves and the others to what specific job the assignment needs.

Rich guy needs a bodyguard for a week? Get Heavy and keep Sniper on standby just in case.

Need someone assassinated and another guy framed? Engie just finished upgrading Spys disguise kit!

Need a building burnt to the ground with no survivors? The mercs are already drawing straws for who gets to supervise Pyro this time.

All the while, they're also raising their kids/baboon as mercs, too! (All right, kids, who's ready to learn how to do medicine with Uncle Ludwig!) Soldiers' daughter already knows how to snap necks, Scouts blonde son looks like he bites, and I'm honestly surprised no one's drawn Scouts daughter Tanya as a Spy yet.

I really do love the ending of Comic 7, but I'm just saying, a work-balance exists.

(I also would've had Heavy and Medic wear wedding rings, but that's just me)

TeamFortress Classic Spy

Oil rig workes force Rennick to say sorry. Nothing unusual.)

Whatever happened to hello or how are you?

Sorry ..........
