As you were running from a group of Zurks, you turn around to blast the damn things with the Defluxor, causing them to explode. Luckily you could get away from them... Now, you need to find Doc. Fast!

Doc was on the floor, backing away and flailing about as a group of Zurks swarmed him, slowly biting through his mechanical body. You blast them with the Defluxor, panting as you reach for the button on the wall that would shut the gate, keeping the oncoming group of them out. You drop the Defluxor from your grasp, bending down to pull Doc up from the floor. He pants, clearly a little frightened but mostly alarmed and stressed. He clearly wasn't expecting to be ambushed while you were out switching switches and pulling levers...

You were only gone for a few minutes. He didn't have his own Defluxor to get rid of them, so he was stuck until you came back. He bends over, putting his hands on his knees to calm his nerves. If he was too stressed then he'd probably malfunction, or at least overheat a little.
