It's been years 15 to be exact The year was 2010 currently and everybody had long forgotten The horror that occurred at Kiki's theater was long forgotten along with the brave soul who sacrificed his life to seal away such evil.
However a young journalist by the name of Elliot "ink" Leandro or simply ink by his fellow journalist wanted to know more
The mysteries of the animatronic characters and their mysterious origins had alluded the news company for many years
"I'm telling you ink this could be a big breakthrough. We've been on this mystery for years now!" AJ said slapping down the piece of paper
Andrew John was a great journalist and he prided himself on solving many cases and making a lot of dark mysteries come to light
"But still a technician's job, And besides from what it says here the facility that you and I are trying to work at is at least 30 m underground" ink said scratching his neck
"Yeah I know I know but still many chances like this don't come This often and we need to take advantage"AJ says
"Fine, They said they needed like five or more mechanics/technicians "
The two fist bumped before going their separate ways.
2 months have passed and only one of them was confirmed for the job
"I guess all my engineering courses did go through huh!" ink says
AJ a little bit sad he couldn't join his friend simply nodded
"Yeah mine hasn't came in yet but still if it doesn't I've downloaded a whole map of the place from a friend and I could lead you through it using a walkie-talkie or a communicator of sorts"
Ink nodded He understood what had to happen but still was hesitant to go down there
Noticing the worriedness in his friends posture AJ simply patted him on the shoulder
"It's all right man nothing bad could be down there it's been left alone for 15 years since they dropped all their old stuff down there, If possible you could even bring back one of those mechanical suits that used bindings of some sort"
Elliot nodded after all this was for the news and whatever he uncovered down there would be brought public eventually.
He walked up to an old warehouse/factory with a sign that said "stain robotics"
"You must be the new employee!"
A rather pale looking man with a face mask and glasses and bandages covering his hands walked over
"Are you Mr Todd?"Ink said trying not to gag at the smell
"Yeah she probably let you know the hours here are hecka long, but don't worry about that after all you have the hardest job here"
"Okay and what is that? I'm just a technician making sure everything runs properly in the facility!?"
Todd laughed at the boys ignorance "well I guess you called them equipment but what you're really doing is making sure the older ones don't come back online since apparently the company thinks their hostile and we can't destroy them just yet because of some legal document, so essentially you're just going to be checking on our newest edition They have the latest technology in every department but they need constant surveillance to make sure they don't wander off too far from their charging ports we don't want them damaged. Plus the opening day of Gabby's world is in a couple days and my daughter really wants to go" Todd said
"Hey? What rank do you have in the company exactly? And you did say you had a daughter, do you have any more kids?" Ink asked
"Well I'm the CEO / guy in charge of everything The reason I'm here is simply to help employees with their first couple nights, but you got none to worry about The elevators over there I've left cassette tapes everywhere just in case you don't know how to do something, And yes I do have two daughters and one son although the oldest likes to pick on the youngest son"He said with this taste
Elliot nodded before stepping into the elevator and the door slammed shut.
"All right are you in?"
"Yeah AJ I'm in the elevator going down right now"
"That's great! Now remember I've given you some special tools we had rumors that this place was haunted however I think they're just rumors, after you get out walk straight forward I'm picking up something I think it's a vent"
Confused He walked towards the wall and there was a giant vent big enough for him to fit through and a cassette tape
He played the cassette tape over the microphone making sure his partner could hear
"Hello hello employee! This is your first assignment you will crawl through the vent into a maintenance office from there you can check on the various storage units where we have our animatronic characters plus…something else we need you to fix up, you will start your shift by crawling through the ventilation system"
"Seems a little bit suspicious but do what he says I'm not detecting anything on the other side that could possibly harm you"
Elliot climbed through the ventilation system. It was long and it got narrower as it went on. Finally he made it to a room with a bunch of control panels and glass surrounding it 360 style
"All right for your first night we duty you're going to want to check on the animatronics we have placed, please keep in mind that these are all prototypes and we're still testing them for our newest location Gabby world, it's a project I've been working on for a long time and it got denied by Wilson because of funding but now that I'm in charge I can more accurately spend the necessary funding to create the animatronics and test them"
In his notebook He scribbled down Gabby's world. What the hell was that?
"Are you getting this shit they're trying to open up another one but these animatronics look a bit sharper They feel a bit deadlier"
"I don't know it's not coming up in the company file either This may be a new location that's opening up that we need to get information from I'll probably have somebody else on the job"
Elliot nodded he wanted badly to get out of this place
He clicked on the control panel lighting up one of the stages and viewing one of the newer animatronics
On the stage was a teenage girl looking at her electronic It had pale white skin a two-piece and slits on its face along with a forever smile It was pretty skinny and it wore a tutu it's green eyes simply stared
"Holy shit!"
Ink immediately took out his video recorder and started recording it
"You seem new? I do not recognize you?"
Elliot stepped back unaware of how to respond his cool posture slowly faded as the animatronic turned to look at him
"I think that's facial recognition system that the animatronics had back in the day apparently shit was extremely buggy anyways just get out of there after you get the necessities"
All right after that hopefully ask it was done He pushed the button and music started playing on the other side of the room
The animatronics eyes slowly turned along with the rest of its body before it started waving
"Audio detection is sick!"
"I agree but remember what you gave me to do just snap some pictures of the animatronics and we'll call it a day"
Ink quickly snapped some photos before heading out of the ventilation system.
A couple hours have passed since he got back from his job and was currently on the way to his apartment after he sent the photos overs A paper flew into his face blocking his view before he snatched it off
Gabby's auditorium opening on April 10th
All right that's the end for the first chapter I'm promised it's going to be more horror elements introduced into the next couple chapters
