Some of my colleagues would say I'm insane if you asked them about me, maybe I am. After all, playing with the dead is not what you would call normal. But in the realm of science, you can do anything. So to stand in the room, watching our newest acquisition walk around a room full of Grimm and not be attacked. I can't help but feel like we have made the discovery of a lifetime. Why you may ask, well I'm glad you asked. In that enclosed environment are two separate creatures, one which you may recognize as the bane of humanity, the Grimm. I could go on and on about how the Grimm are the greatest threat to humanity and how they are so hard to study the scientific environment, however, that not why I'm so ecstatic right now. In that room is, what seems to be a human baning in armor. But as you look closer you could feel in your bones that something is not right with him. The man's movements are stiff and erratic, its body reeks of decayed flesh and blood. The pained groans and wheezing of air coming from it are disturbing to listen to and most of all.

The Grimm just look at it with little to no interest, like they didn't even see it as 'human'. For the first time in my career of researching, never in my life have I ever seen such a phenomenon. To ignore something that seems so human yet truly is not right or... natural even. "fascinating creature I must say, don't you agree with me, doctor?" Oh no, not him. " Yes it's most interesting, the fact that such an event like this has never been recorded in human history shows that we truly are going to remember for this find" I will play nice with him for now, what are you planning Arthur? "Yes we are, but I can't but wonder who will be given the honor of doing some more, direct testing on the subject by the Council" I scowl a little at his arrogance, speaking as if he and his kingdom are the ones who will get it. I stroked my beard, try to play off my scowl like it was for something else "We bought know that this can't be a competition, well I happen to know the most about biology and thus I'm clary the most sound applicant" Seeing his eyebrow rase showed that he did not fully agree with my statement, emotionally that is.

" I have to apologize for my straightforwardness, but I have been sent as a representative of the scientific community in the Atlas military" I knew he was not just here to see what we fond. Atlas is always looking to have more ways to tighten its grip on the other kingdoms. I forced myself to restrain my teeth from grinding together. I looked back at the at our, No, my acquisition. Some of my droids found this man wondering the streets of Mt Glenn and scaring pedestrians by chasing them around and, as observed by my robots, tried to tackle a man that got to close it. After a surprisingly massive effort on the drones part to apprehend, the subject showed that it had some usual strength given the condition that he was in. While on transport to the site, it showed extreme aggression for anything human but considered anything that wasn't as nothing more than an obstacle. Coupled with the fact that it was confirmed that it was nothing more than a walking corpse. You can see why I feel that Atlas is overreaching its grip to gain it.

I put my hand on Arthur's shoulder, which earned me an odd look form him in return. " I'm afraid that the subject is staying with me and my company for the time being Mr. Watts" I said to him with a smile "But look at it this way, Atlas already has lots of toys to play with" I then saw the Undead creature start to walk to the door with slow and clumsy steps. Once it got there it began to scratch and hit the metal door, screeching all the while as if desperately trying to get it open. " Why not let Vale have some for herself, after all," I let my hand slip for Watts' shoulder as I walked closer to the window where most of the Grimm are now huddled after losing the interest of the subject. I have always looked for a solution for humanities plight, and now in front of me is what I believe to be the answer to my question. With a great roar, I watched the subject screech in agony as it's ruined voice box made an unholy sound that should not be made by something so human. "We all need to have a weapon to combat our common enemy" Watts looked at me in slight anger "you really think Atlas is just going to let you have it without a fight Doctor Merlot"

I started to laugh at what he implied and looked back at him pulling out my scroll " No, I expect them to come in force" I looked down at the screen to see a photo of a strange gate that was being transported to my lab. "And in the meantime, Ill find out what you are my friend" It was at that moment the subject stopped banging on the door and looked as if it was staring straight at him with cold dead eyes.

Well you might be wondering what this is, well it a remake of the first story I every ever written "Rember what you are"

I decided to delete that story and start from scratch, keeping some of the original ideas I had and reworking them into something different.

This takes place long before the start of the show but will eventually catch up with it.
