==Streszczenie==
 
''Los Gorszy od Szachów'' rozpoczyna się sceną, w której dwóch naukowców dyskutuje na temat, jak kosmici mogą oddychać za pomocą Ziemskiego tlenu. Saxton Hale przeszkadza w dalszym ciągu komiksu i przedstawia jego "nowy sposób" do opowiadania historii: Eksplozycja. Scena jest ukazana ponownie, tym razem w formie "eksplozycji", naukowcy są teraz dwoma kobietami uzbrojonymi w miecze. Pierwsza domaga osę wiedzy na temat, jak kosmici porafią oddychać tlenem, co skutkuje walką na miecze nad kraterem wulkanu. Saxton ponownie przerywa komiks, tym razem przedstawiając"eksplozycję" w "eksplozycyjnej historii", ''A Fate Worse Than Chess''.
 
  
Komiks przechodzi do Dzielnicy Samdrup Jongkha w Królestwie Bhutanu, gdzie Saxton Hale, przebrany jako specjalista od przemocy wobec naczelnych, "Doctor Joanbaez", poprosił o spotkanie z ostatnim yeti, kiedy to przebrany Mr. Bidwell zostaje poinformowany o ataku na wszystkie siedziby Mann Co.. Bidwell upiera się, aby opuścili miejsce, lecz Hale domaga się walki z Yeti. Bidwell decyduje się na nagranie walki Hale'a z yeti, podczas gdy on informuje [[Classes/pl|najemników]] o nadchodzącej bitwie z armią robotów Gray Mann'a.

== Synopsis ==
 +
''A Fate Worse Than Chess'' opens with a scene of a comic, in which two scientists are discussing how aliens can breathe Earth's oxygen. Saxton Hale interrupts the comic, announcing his "new way" to tell stories: Explosition®. The scene is shown again in the form of "explosition," this time the scientists being two women armed with swords. The first demands to know how the aliens can breathe oxygen, leading to a sword-fight above a volcanic crater. Saxton interrupts once more, once more demonstrating "explosition" in the "explository tale," ''A Fate Worse Than Chess''.
  
Komiks następnie przechodzi do Pani Pauling, która pokazuje najemnikom taśmę w Hale'm, który informuje ich o tym, że razem ze śmiercią braci Mann zostali oni zwolnieni ze swojej pracy. Jednakże, dzięki atakowi robotów na siedziby Mann Co., zostali oni ponownie zatrudnieni aby walczyli z armią. Pomimo faktu, że nie otrzymują żadnej zapłaty za tą pracę, ku ich przerażeniu, Pani Pauling ujawnia, że roboty zą zasilane plikami pieniędzy, więc po zniszczeniu wroga wszystkie pieniądze, które wypadną z resztek mogą zostać zabrane przed najemników. Komiks kończy się, kiedy Pani Pauling mówi najemnikom, że nadchodząca walka nie jest tylko walką o Mann Co., lecz także walką o ich pracę.

The comic cuts to the [[w:Samdrup Jongkhar District|Samdrup Jongkhar District]] in the Kingdom of Bhutan, where Saxton Hale, disguised as a primate violence specialist named "Doctor Joanbaez," has requested to see a yeti, the last of its species, while a disguised Mr. Bidwell is informed of an attack on all of Mann Co.'s facilities in the background. Bidwell insists that they leave, but Hale insists that he fight the Yeti. Bidwell decides to videotape Hale fighting the Yeti whilst also briefing the [[Classes|mercenaries]] of the oncoming fight with Gray Mann's army of robots.

The comic cuts to Miss Pauling, who shows them the tape of Hale, who informs the mercenaries that, with the death of the Mann brothers, they are now unemployed. However, with attack of the robots on Mann Co.'s headquarters, they have been re-hired to fight them. Although they are not being paid for their work, to their dismay, Pauling reveals that the robots somehow run on [[Credits|piles of money]], so once destroyed, the money that would come out belonged to the mercenaries. The comic closes with Pauling telling them that it is not just a fight for Mann Co. or Saxton Hale, but a fight for their jobs.

Saxton Hale

A Fate Worse Than Chess is a comic released August 13, 2012, as part of the Mann vs. Machine update. It is a continuation of the earlier comic, Blood Brothers. The events introduce the invasion of Mann Co. by Gray Mann and his army of robots. Saxton Hale enlists the help of the Team Fortress Mercenaries to destroy the incoming robot invasion. Hale also fights a Yeti.

Synopsis

A Fate Worse Than Chess opens with a scene of a comic, in which two scientists are discussing how aliens can breathe Earth's oxygen. Saxton Hale interrupts the comic, announcing his "new way" to tell stories: Explosition®. The scene is shown again in the form of "explosition," this time the scientists being two women armed with swords. The first demands to know how the aliens can breathe oxygen, leading to a sword-fight above a volcanic crater. Saxton interrupts once more, once more demonstrating "explosition" in the "explository tale," A Fate Worse Than Chess.

The comic cuts to the Samdrup Jongkhar District in the Kingdom of Bhutan, where Saxton Hale, disguised as a primate violence specialist named "Doctor Joanbaez," has requested to see a yeti, the last of its species, while a disguised Mr. Bidwell is informed of an attack on all of Mann Co.'s facilities in the background. Bidwell insists that they leave, but Hale insists that he fight the Yeti. Bidwell decides to videotape Hale fighting the Yeti whilst also briefing the mercenaries of the oncoming fight with Gray Mann's army of robots.

The comic cuts to Miss Pauling, who shows them the tape of Hale, who informs the mercenaries that, with the death of the Mann brothers, they are now unemployed. However, with attack of the robots on Mann Co.'s headquarters, they have been re-hired to fight them. Although they are not being paid for their work, to their dismay, Pauling reveals that the robots somehow run on piles of money, so once destroyed, the money that would come out belonged to the mercenaries. The comic closes with Pauling telling them that it is not just a fight for Mann Co. or Saxton Hale, but a fight for their jobs.
