"Thanks, Doc. . . I really needed something to get my mind off the whole Ren thing."
Doc nods, pouring Grian a cup of tea,"Of course, besides I believe you need a break seeing the research of the Rift.", Grian smiled, taking the cup of tea from Doc as he made food for them, Grian had to get away from the whole Resistance and Ren, he just felt like a ticking bomb ready to go off if he stayed around Ren any longer because he would just blow up Ren, Ren's Castle and maybe the whole server as long as Xisuma doesn't find out it was him.
Though, he needed a distraction, what could he think about besides today??-
!
"Hey, Doc? What happened to your arm??", Doc turned around,"My arm?", "Yeah, you never talk about your mechanical arm but you talk about your time working as a scientist like, creating machines, mobs and researching beasts like Watchers, Listeners and Shapeshifters. You know, mythical stuff.", Doc nods, sitting down with Grian.
"Yes, I do tell you stories about my old job, though my old job was the reason I'm like this."
Grian frowned,"What do you mean?", Doc pointed to himself,"You know, I wasn't always a creeper-goat hybird, I use to just be a goat hybird.", Grian blinked a few times,"Really?", "Yes. I think I have a picture of my. . . Yes.", Doc held up a photo, Grian peered at it and it was a picture of a group of people that looked to have graduated at some university.
"Oh, that's you?"
"Mhm."
Grian was now curious,"So, how did you go from a Goat Hybird to a Creeper-Goat hybird with a mechanical arm.", Doc took a sip of his drink, choosing his words carefully to explain a story.
"Well, the arm is a separate story from what happened for me to be turned into a Creeper."

"AAAGGGHHHH!!!"
"?!"
"DOC?!?!"
Doc stumbled back, holding his arm screaming the loudest he had in a long time!
Doc felt like his bones had been pieces and watching the colour disappear from his arm through his tears.
"FUCK, FUCK, FUCK!!!"
"DOC, HOLY SHIT!!!"
Doc fell limp as he lay on the ground, his co-workers rushing to his side and pulling him away from the cage that held the violent mythical creature.

"What the hell is this. . .?!"
"It's a Watcher's infection, if we don't do something now the Watcher's infection will turn him into something!"
They looked around the room, throwing stuff and around frantically looking for something as whatever infected Doc was spreading up his arm.
"I'm sorry, we don't have a choice."
"What do you mean-?"
Before anyone could, Doc kicked something and through the pain,"CUT. IT. OFF.", they were shocked, shocked that Doc would request such a thing but he looked in pain and for all they knew the transformation could be complete soon.
So, with a heavy heart, co-workers held Doc down as the more experienced one of them held the item to cut off his arm.
"Forgive us Doc. . ."
So he raised the weapon and slammed it down on his arm.
"AAAAGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!"

Doc woke up with a headache so horrible he thought someone had dropped a heavy crate on his head.
"Doc. . .?"
Doc opened his eyes, seeing his co-worker next to him.
"Nessa. . .? Am I, in the hospital wing. . .?", "Y-Yeah, you are. . .", Nessa rubbed the back of his neck,"Uhm, do you remember anything. . .?", Doc rested his eyes again, trying to remember the last thing he could before falling into darkness.
"I remember, I was taking notes of that Watcher we captured and then it grabbed my arm. . . Then I remember nothing.", Nessa nods,"Figured you wouldn't remember much. . . We head to, uh. . . Stop something before it spread to you.", Doc frowned, then he realised something was wrong when he didn't feel his arm and looking to his right.-
. . .
"Some. . . Infection was spreading quick, we had to stop it and. . . .well."
"It's okay. You did what you had to do."

"So, that's why The Watchers hate you, because you managed to survive being turned."
Doc nods,"Exactly, and they can no longer turn me seeing as I am now. . . Undead, in a certain way.", Grian nods, pointing to Doc,"So, how did you turn into a Creeper, was it a hybird experiment?", Doc shook his head, chuckling,"Thankfully not, what had happened was a machine was being tested and I had volunteered to be in it and I ended up being fused with a creeper.", Grian blinked rapidly,"Woah, that's quite the origin story, Doc.", Doc smiled,"Thank you.", and they enjoyed the silence.
. . .
"Did you know I was apart of a gang when I lived in Japan?"
Doc nearly choked and had to put his drink down as Grian brought that up.
