The Fox and the Scorpion
As translated by: Aaron Walters

A few nights ago, in the vast and treacherous terrain of Blood Gulch, there was a game of Team Capture the Flag.  It was during this game that ROK Soldier commandeered a Scorpion Tank in hopes of reeking havoc in the form of steel rain down upon his enemies.  All the while his team could lead an assault and capture the other team�s flag.  The only problem was that Blood Gulch was long and the tank was slow.  Any well placed rocket would ruin ROK Soldier�s day.  As he sat in the Scorpion in contemplation, ROK Soldier�s life long teammate TOTFC ran up and began talking.

�ROK Soldier, I�m creeping along looking for some easy kills with my trusty sniper rifle and I thought that if I traveled with you, we could pack a one two punch.  You could blast our enemies with the cannon and I�ll pick off any rocket camping bastards.  Would you be willing to give me a lift?�

�Why should I help you cross the ravine?  How could I possible trust you anymore after you blew my ass up in the last game?  Were we not a team?  Was Sweetness not our name?  I trusted you and you betrayed me.  How do I know that you would not toss a plasma grenade on me half way across?� asked ROK Soldier.

�But it was Free For All!  And If I did that either the blast would kill me also or those vulchin� bastards of Team Red would shoot a rocket up my ass.� replied TOTFC.

�Hmmm, that is true.� said ROK Soldier.

ROK Soldier thought about this for a second and while he still thought it was fu(%ed up that TOTFC killed him in the last game with a pistol whip to the back of the head, this was a different game.  Finally ROK Soldier said, �Ok, climb on board.  AUTOBOTS!!!  ROLL OUT!!�

ROK Soldier and TOTFC battled their way across the plains of Blood Gulch to the opposing team�s fort.  Awed by the onslaught of the destructive power of the Scorpion and the precision of the sniper rifle, Team Red cowered in fear.  Upon reaching the enemy�s base, TOTFC hopped off and ran for the entrance.  He was caught by a power blast from behind and was killed.

�What the hell!  How did Team Red kill me?  They�re all dead!� He screamed.

Then his screen flashed:  TOTFC was betrayed by ROK Soldier

ROK Soldier smiled with a grin that went from ear to ear and said, �Isn�t payback a bitch?�

Moral of the Story:  He who frags and runs away
will get fragged the next game.
