The Spy lifts up a briefcase with a short grunt, from which legs sprout from the bottom of the case to the ground. The Spy opens the briefcase and extends an antenna on the right, revealing the case to be a portable computer, with a monitor on the top half, complete with a signal adjustment switch, and a keypad on the bottom half. The Spy types on the keypad. When finished, the Spy quickly closes the computer, the legs rise into the briefcase, and the Spy puts it away.
Pressing MOUSE1 triggers a flair where the computer prints out a picture of the rival team's Sniper, which the Spy picks up and looks at, making a quip to his target. Pressing MOUSE2 triggers a flair where the monitor loses its signal, which the Spy expresses disdain at, and adjusts the signal switch until its picture returns.
