The Gravel War - the main setting for Team Fortress 2. A woman, by some accounts, begins acquiring the world's largest supply of Australium. Radigan Conagher finishes building a Life Extender Machine for Blutarch Mann. Saxton Hale fights and captures the last surviving Yeti. Charles Darling absconds with the panthers to put them in his new animal dungeon. Administrator, hearing the news of her takeover of Mann Co., orders her assistant Miss Pauling to reassemble the Mercs, recovering Soldier from Hollywood, Pyro from Frontier, and Demoman from his Badlands home. Saxton Hale is released from the Millhaven Ultra Prison for Dangerous Men, held there for burning down most of Charles Darling's zoo months earlier. The Classic mercenaries arrive at New Zealand with the TF2 Medic, killing Sniper, and capturing the others. TF2 Engineer has been maintaining the Life Extender Machines of an elderly woman in 19th century attire, resembling Helen, but extremely aged. The team escapes, killing three Classic mercenaries, but are overcome by blood-sucking robots.
