Brewster: "Oh, he's a lot worse now a days- he's pretty much a roaming, raging corpse. Striking anyone he sees."
"However, even when he was normal back then. He was still a horrid engine."
"Murdoch, when he arrived in 1964, was cocky and arrogant, thinking he's the future of steam and thought he knew best, he never took orders from the "Older" engines. He took the loop line on his first week here, making the track sink and cave in on itself, making the loop inaccessible for a whole month"
"The Controller back then wanted to get rid of Murdoch do to his silly acts, however due to the hard times Sodor was in, he had to keep him in to help with rising goods and passenger work"
"So instead he punished him by painting him orange, which Murdoch hated to his core, it made him look extremely silly"
"Everyone mocked and laughed at him for looking like an Orange spaceship which made him boil with even more hatred."
"Through the years, Murdoch only grew more aggressive and started targetting smaller engines, specifically smaller female engines"
"He said that; "Male engines are superior to Female engines, they should always listen to us manly engines!" Which was such a horrid and disgusting comment."
"Luckily Henry and other engines stood up to Murdoch to protect them"
"However... everything would change in the 80's when... Niki arrived to Sodor..."
"Here's a quick summary on Niki, because you probably don't know her."
"Niki was an experimental design from Sir Nigel Gresley, just like Henry. Built in 1920, she was only a failure due to being stuffed with so many parts, she became too heavy that she couldn't even lift her own weight whilst hauling goods. Many years later, she was founded by an American builder in the 70's called Christopher Joshua. He mended her right up with some american engine parts, which were specially made for her. Now she was good as new. Heck she was better than new. A brand new heavy goods engine.
"When she came to sodor, Murdoch was livid. She broke his record for the most trucks on a single goods train"
"He even tried sabotaging her by ramming into her, but it failed horribly due to Niki being heavier than Murdoch and derailing himself"
"Murdoch kept harassing Niki for months, she tried ignoring him, but her anger was building up until 1993. Murdoch came to Niki and harassed her once again, but this time, Niki snapped"
"She shoved Murdoch back and due to the bridge being up, he fell right into the water"
"He felt embarrassed and angry that he was beaten by someone greater than him, let alone a female."
"Then he had his final accident the next year in 1994 where he died and became a mutant corpse."
"And that's pretty much it for Murdoch, Maroon may have been rude, but I get why he did, ofc he shouldn't of shouted."
*He then let out a worn out sigh*
Brewster: "Bust my buffers... That was a lot of explaining-"
