Chapter 1

Robots Also Fear

Alright. So, you may ask. Why is this guy making me read this? What's so interesting about a piece of paper that has a bloodied knife in it?

Well, I'm going to tell you alright.

The company recently acquired Afton Robotics. That company that made those creepy as hell 'animatronics'. Yeah, that one.

We had built an underground restaurant kind of thing, housing Aftons' newest creations, AnimOnics2.0. They entertained. They gave food. In the child's mind, perfect.

But us, the employees: we knew there were dark sides to them.

Maybe its because we always performed shock-tests on them to see if they were up... maybe.

But we know for certain, that if anyone were in the building after hours- they were a dead-person-alive...

It'd be lucky to escape with at least one of your limbs not missing.

And, well- you probably know the rest.

Back to the matter at hand.

You are reading this note, because of my foolishness.

I stayed behind to perform repairs on Funtime Foxy... one of the AnimOnics2's.

It wasn't pretty. I had to wrestle her with a knife just to get inside her chamber.

All the while doing so, cutting my wrists.

So, if you are from the Higher Ups (Aperture), and you're reading this, get the lab boys to analyze the free blood samples splashed around the place.

(I was the one that created the Pneumatic Vents)

Anyway.

I am, by now dead- probably hiding out in one of the spare AnimOnics 'suits'.

If you are one lucky bob, you'll find my corpse in one.

If not, too bad.

Though, I've always wondered- could you reanimate bodies while they're in Stage 4 of Decomposition...

This is already a long foreboding death note, so I'll cut short.

I am dead.

You however, probably are not.

Recover lost files from the AnimOnic Mainframe, and if you can- get my dead body or skeleton into a Revival Chamber.

That's all, as I'm hearing scratching noises from the locked vent door.

See you soon, maybe.
