Meet the Director is a comic released on May 5, 2011 with the Replay Update. The comic stars Miss Pauling and a "Director" (whose identity is unknown) interviewing several Mercenaries of RED, attempting to proclaim details relating to their occupations.

Synopsis

The story begins with Miss Pauling and a filmmaker (the eponymous "Director") accompanying the RED Sniper on his drive to Teufort. In the camper, the Director repeatedly asks questions labeling Sniper as a victim, visibly aggravating him to the threat of violence. Upon arrival, Miss Pauling assures Sniper the interviews are a form of public relations, to show the public the mercenaries are more than "just armed psychopaths." Back in the control room, the Administrator reveals to Pauling her true motive: keeping tabs on the mercenaries whom she believes, despite their perceived lack of intelligence, are still incredibly dangerous if not spied on from time to time.

The Director attempts to interview the rest of RED, with seemingly little success. Meanwhile, an unknown messenger is being restrained and interrogated by the RED mercs - It is implied that each person interviewed has been blackmailed with potentially compromising photographs (save for the Soldier, whose collection of heads was stolen and held for ransom instead.) The Administrator appears on the miniature television mounted in the now dead agent's chest and reveals she was the source of the photographs (and stolen heads), demonstrating her new-found leverage and potential modes of retaliation should the mercenaries ever discuss the terms of their contract.

Elsewhere, Miss Pauling leads the Director into a mineshaft under the guise of an interview with the Administrator. Pauling asks if she should hold off on killing him, noting he never got a chance to interview BLU, to which the Administrator says to dispose of him anyway as a potential liability, remarking that she will simply have to find some new directors...

  • The Demoman receives an additional 3 crates to the one the Eyelander came in, totally 4. However, the Demoman only received 3 unlockables for the update, so it could be speculated the fouth crate could hold the Gunboats.

  • The name on the Soldiers door is Jane Doe, a militiary term used for an unamed deceased person. It should be noted though that Jane Doe referes to a female person, where as John Doe refers to a male.
