A DarkerAndEdgier reimagining (or perhaps {{Deconstruction}}) of the ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' universe by Cat Bountry, in which the old [[MissionControl Administrator]] is replaced by [[AIIsACrapshoot an insane]] [[ActorAllusion AI]] and things just get worse from there in the style of ''Literature/IHaveNoMouthAndIMustScream'' by Creator/HarlanEllison (hence the story title).

* FanDisservice: [[spoiler:Pyro's genderbent form seems to invoke this--a naked, buxom woman sounds nice on paper...except Pyro's features are horrifyingly exaggerated, with her massive breasts too heavy for her to even stand up properly and skinny legs that can't even support her weight. On top of that, she's ''still wearing that gas mask''.]]

-->I feel sick all over again. The rancid meat in my stomach probably plays a factor in this. I may have been trapped here for more than a century but the thought of possibly raping a lady is still abhorrent to me. Especially if she’s been tortured just like we have. Can I trust these men, my fellow prisoners, to feel the same way?

Added DiffLines:

* PerpetuallyProtean: Apparently despising Spy worst of all, the Administrator inflicts the worst fate on him by making him into a ''real'' shapeshifter: not only is he perpetually transforming and unable to control it, but the constant process of growing, shrinking, expanding, contracting, melting and morphing causes him agonizing pain - to the point that he avoids walking because his legs break and reset with every step. Also, making eye contact with him is extremely difficult, for not only is his face changing constantly into everything from Richard Nixon to Frank Sinatra, but his eyes are described as "runny."
