A favor

Location: Planet Earth | Freddy Fazbear's Pizza

Music: Super Mario Sunshine - Delfino Plaza

On the day after Michael's birthday, Spyglass brought him back to Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria.
"Glad you could make it!" Freddy said.
"Michael, we need to ask you and your... guardian... a favor." Bonnie added, holding a rolled-up poster.
"We kinda need you to sign up for the night guard shift here. We need your help." Chica stated.
"If you insist, we will help you." Spyglass had accepted the call for assistance.
Freddy took off his hat and bowed in appreciation. "Thank you. Thank you so very much."

Music: Luigi's Mansion - Mansion (Exterior)

Later that night, Michael and Spyglass had arrived just after the manager closed the pizzeria and left.
At the door was Freddy, with the spare key to the front door. "Glad you two could make it." He opened the door to let them in. "Now then, this way."
The two were lead to the security office, where there was a desk with a desk fan and tablet on it, a filing cabinet in the corner, and two large open vent grates, one on the left wall, and one on the right.
"I'll go get Bonnie and Chica. They're probably playing Hide n' Seek, or Marco Polo, or maybe I-Spy."
An echo was heard down the hall. It was Bonnie's voice. "Tag! You're it!"
"Or Tag, they could be playing Tag. I'll be right back." Freddy went back down the hall, leaving the two to find out why they were needed.

All of a sudden, a recorded message played. "Uh... Hello? Hello- hello? Uh... Hello and welcome to your new summer job at the new and improved Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. Uh... I'm here to talk you through some of the things you can expect to see during your first week here, and to help you get started on this new and exciting career path. Uh... Now, I want you to forget anything you may have heard about the old location, y'know. Uh... Some people still have a somewhat negative impression of the company. Uh... That old restaurant was kinda left to rot for quite a while, but I want to reassure you Fazbear Entertainment is committed to family fun, and above all, safety. They've spent a small fortune on these new animatronics. Uh... Facial recognition, advanced mobility, they even let them walk around during the day. Isn't that neat? ~clears throat~ ...but most importantly, they're all tied into some kind of criminal database, so they can detect a predator a mile away. Heck, we should be paying them to guard you. Uh... Now, that being said, no new system's without its... kinks. Uh... You're only the second guard work at that location. Uh... The first guy finished his week, but complained about... conditions. Uh... We switched him over to the day shift, so hey, lucky you, right? Uh... Mainly he expressed concern that certain characters seemed to move around at night, and even attempted to get into his office. Now, from what we know, that should be impossible. Uh... That restaurant should be the safest place on Earth, so while our engineers don't really have an explanation for this, the working theory is that... the robots were never given a proper 'night mode', so when it gets quiet, they think they're in the wrong room, so then they go try to find where the people are, and in this case, that's your office, so our temporary solution is this: There's a music box over by the prize counter, and it's rigged to be wound up remotely. So just, every once in a while, switch over to the prize counter video feed and wind it up for a few seconds. It doesn't seem to affect all of the animatronics, but does affect... one of them. ~clears throat~ uh... and as for the rest of them, we have an even easier solution. You see, there may be a minor glitch in the system... something about robots seeing you as an endoskeleton without a costume on, and wanting to stuff you into a suit, so hey, we've given you an empty Freddy Fazbear head. Problem solved! You can put it on anytime, and leave it on for as long as you want. Eventually, anything that wandered in, will wander back out. Uh... Something else worth mentioning is kind of the modern design of the building. You may have noticed there are no doors for you to close... heh... but hey, you have light, and even though your flashlight can run out of power, the building cannot, so don't worry about the place going dark. Well, I think that's it. Uh... You should be golden. Uh... Check the lights. Put on the Freddy head if you need to. Uh... Keep the music box wound up. Piece of cake. Have a good night, and I'll talk to you tomorrow."
From all that, Michael had only three words to say. "That's a mouthful."
"Indeed. Where is the Freddy Fazbear head located?"
Michael looked under the desk, then responded. "My guess? Under the desk."
Spyglass looked under the desk, seeing the empty Freddy Fazbear head. He took it out, then examined it. "The design of this costume piece is of a different model that that of Freddy Fazbear. Perhaps it is an older version. A prototype model most likely."
"That's because it isn't exactly MY head." Freddy had returned, followed by Bonnie and Chica.

Curiously, Michael asked them about it. "What do you mean?"
"Well... uh... How do I put this? I'm not the original Freddy Fazbear. The original animatronics, or what's left of them, are kept in the parts and service room. We're simply known as the 'Toy' animatronics." Freddy explained.
"Those older versions of us were basically corrupted through incomplete system alterations." Toy Bonnie stated.
"They use to entertain children, just like us, but their own primary functions were beginning to degrade. No updates or upgrades, no bug-fixes or antivirus software. Back then, Fazbear Entertainment was dangerously close to bankruptcy. Now, even closer to going out of business." Toy Chica said in a saddened tone.
"On a side note, the whole 'stuffing into a suit' thing was what the old ones did. At 12:00 AM, they no longer saw people as... people, but rather they saw them as endoskeletons with no costumes. They'd reset at 6:00 AM. Now, their systems are too corrupted to reset successfully." Toy Freddy finished.
"And they're still at least basically functional, aren't they?" Michael asked, followed by Toy Bonnie answering.
"Dangerously functional."

At this, Spyglass stood up. "What is required of us?"
"Their... 'removal'." Toy Freddy had to find the right word to describe the situation.
"Basically, you want us to destroy them."
"Smart kid." Toy Chica commented.
"Thanks. I try my best." Michael was indeed a smart young man for his age.

"Do you know of any way you could take them out?" Toy Freddy asked.
"First, we must analyze them in order to calculate how much of a threat they pose on a global scale." Spyglass was correct. The larger the threat, the more of a priority it would be to terminate the corrupted robotics.
"That's understandable." Toy Bonnie stated plainly.
"How are we gonna do that?" Michael wondered.

Without warning, a clock sounded, it had hit 12:00 AM. Michael grew cautious, but Freddy eased him. "It's OK. We won't cause any trouble. You're safe tonight."

Time: 1:18 AM | 09/26/2270

Music: Doctor Who - I Am The Doctor (Acoustic Guitar Cover)

Toy Bonnie was busy playing his guitar while Toy Freddy was showing Spyglass the security camera surveillance system the tablet was connected to.
"You play absolutely AMAZING music!" Michael cheered.
"Heh heh. Thanks. I wanted to play this song on your birthday, but I guess I was too busy with the party." Toy Bonnie said, tuning his guitar.
"Yeah, me too."
"Strange. The camera lights appear to all wirelessly draw power from the flashlight." Spyglass was right. The flashlight was its own device, yet the camera system somehow drained power from the flashlight whenever a room was illuminated.
To answer the questioning about it, Toy Freddy responded. "Yeah, that's just to conserve power for the building. We're lucky it's a rechargeable battery."

Time: 3:57 AM | 09/26/2270

Music: Five Nights at Freddy's 2 - Marionette music box

Michael was sound asleep. There was a music box at the prize counter, and it put him to sleep through the camera audio feed.
"Peaceful sleeper, isn't he?" Toy Bonnie asked.
"Indeed." Spyglass said, but there was... emotion in his voice again?

"There's something I don't get. Normal kids go to school, but what about him?"
"Bonnie, don't be rude!" Toy Chica
"Sorry, Chica."
"To answer your question: permanent learning through neurological information integration." Spyglass answered.
"Let me get this straight... Normally, kids learn this stuff at their own pace, but you just basically burned everything from preschool to senior year into his brain?!" Toy Freddy exclaimed. It sounded painful. Fortunately, it wasn't.
"Gradually, yes. One year learned in a month. His neural levels are stable. He is taking the integration at a more than acceptable level. He has only three days left before he is at graduation point." Spyglass replied.
"What does he do in his free time?" Toy Chica asked, worried about the boy's future.

Music: Titanfall 2 - Link to Pilot

"He studies engineering and neurology, and works on mechanical experiments. He has already made a very impressive breakthrough by creating a neurological link between man and machine. We provided him with a basic AI to work with. The device he created allowed him to link his mind to the AI without any form of implant, then control a test limb with a neurological rerouting of the nervous system coursing through his arm. His own arm went limp as the artificial limb moved on his neural command. He muted the speakers on the device and could hear the AI as if it was in his head. The IMC is working with his experimental accomplishment of, attempting to integrate this new 'neural link' into the control matrixes of all our Titans. Dr Hammond is planning on giving him a commendation if he decides to become an IMC Pilot, which is very unlikely."
Contrary to Spyglass's last statement, Michael did indeed wish to become one, as evident by his sleep talking. "... be... a... Pilot... when... I... grow..."
Due to being the closest one to Michael, Toy Bonnie managed to catch what the sleeping kid was saying. "Or maybe he wants to be one."

Music: Assassin's Creed 2 - Salvation of Forli

As the night shift neared its end for the day, Toy Freddy grabbed the spare key for the front door. "Well, I guess you can expect more to happen next time. We'll be fine. Don't worry. I'll unlock the front door for you at 11:47 PM. See you both there."
"We will return. I promise." Again with a Spyglass unit making promises? Interesting.

As the pizzaria's clock turned to 6:00 AM, Spyglass walked out the building, carrying a sleeping Michael in his mechanical arms.
He climbed into the Drop Ship just outside before gently setting the kid in the corner of the driver's cockpit and engaging the engines, jumping to the Frontier, and landing on the IMC HQ's planetary location: Vez-2, southern hemisphere, Jarga region, approximately twelve kliks from the planet's equator.

Well, that chapter's done.

See you next time.
