--Zedaph’s POV--

"So let me get this straight. You and Tango were testing out this machine that can turn zombies into zombie infants, but instead turned half of the server's population into kids?"

"Y-Yeah, pretty much," I cracked. 

"And you two didn't think of the possibility of accidentally turning yourselves into babies?" 

"........" 

Cleo pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed, "Zed why?.."

Mutters and whispers were heard from the group of adult hermits. They didn't look too surprised, they just gave me a look of a parent who witnessed their kid doing something stupid again. "Don't worry Zedaph, we've seen worse stuff. And I usually make things worse!" the British hermit exclaimed. 

"Grian’s…. somewhat right. We've dealt with civil wars and life or death games, at least you and Tango didn't create a zombie apocalypse or something," Wels responded jokingly. 

"Yeah but still… It's partly my fault for letting Tango use a contraption for me," I chuckled weakly, "I'm gonna try my best to fix this problem. I'll try repairing the contraption or something, so we can turn the hermits back into their normal selves.."

Worried looks were immediately thrown at me. Stress asked, "Zed Love? I'm no redstoner, but don't ya think it'll be difficult to rebuild a contraption that only 'cute little whittle Tango' knows how to build?" She gestured at the kids. 

"Ah- I don't know!..  Maybe!?." I panicked slightly . I closed my eyes and took a few deep breaths, I felt a warm on my shoulder gripping tightly. Stress still smiled, giving me a small nod. "I could try studying the contraption.. It may be broken but I can check the redstone parts and see how it

… works," I mumbled softly, "I'll need some help repairing it though. Sooo~, who knows Redstone?" 

A lot of hesitant looks were shared from one another, only one hermit raised their hand and that was Beef. "I guess my genius self can help you," he smirked cheekily." The others kept quiet, sharing more apologetic looks."A lot of our major redstoners in the server are kids now. So only me, Beef, and possibly Doc can fix the contraption." 

"Ughhhhh!! Do we have to include him?" Beef groaned, crossing his arms together. 

" Aww come on Beef, Doc's a good redstoner! But he hasn't been on the server for a while now, so I'll try messaging him about our problem later." 

Beef’s expression softened, letting out a small sigh."Ohh fine…" 

"What about the young hermits? What are we supposed to do with them?" Hypno asked. 

"Take care of them of course!" Keralis squeezed young TFC tighter in his arms. 

"Keralis love, don't suffocate the poor kid-" 

"Of course we're gonna take care of them. But  let me remind you that the hermitcraft server is not exactly a safe place for kids. We have our own tasks and chores on this server, we can't bring the kids to most of our projects, but we can't leave them alone in our bases either. We need a safe place where we can watch all the kids simultaneously."
