Heliport facility and access road 1F
9:00 PM
It was dark outside, and snow was still falling but it has slowed to a dusting. The train had auto-stopped at a well lit outdoor platform somewhere in the middle of the Hurricane forest, with an entrance into a concrete heliport building. It was a one story building with the helipad on top of the roof and a radio tower next to the building behind a fence with signage. This tower has cables coming into the helipad building.
They entered the building on it's side door coming off the platform, it was well lit with many amenities, such as bathrooms, locker rooms, a medical office, showers, a kitchen, waiting room with TV's, and unmarked office space with computers for setting up an emergency command center.
Cue Theme: Resident Evil 2 OST – The Marshalling Yard (The First Half)
Even classic charging stations for glamrock animatronics.
They made their way into the building, with Fiona carrying in Dawkin's body. She was going to make good on her promise that he get's to go back home. She gently set him down on the floor in what looked like a reception area.
The others were in shock seeing the space, they could not understand why such a facility would be built that is so obvious, it would eventually draw too much attention to the laboratory down the tracks, miles away.
Funtime Foxy led the way.
"Foxy….what is this place?" Chica asked.
"A heliport under the guise of a mining corporation and rail yard, conveniently located next to the tunnel we came from. All legal on paper, and guess whose name is on it to hide William's identity? Mine. He really wanted me to be his public fall guy should anything happen." Funtime Foxy said.
"Vanny and William built all this?" Vanessa said.
"This place was not built by the foreign contractors that went missing from the mansion project, William had me hire an outside local company to make this location as legit as possible. To reduce the likelihood of anyone figuring out where the tracks come from. Given I never found Funtime Freddy and your family being missing Vanessa, my guess is, William, Eclipse and Jason escaped this way with my friend and your family, then had someone back at the lab take all the components out of the train went it was sent back." Funtime Foxy said as he made his way to one of the offices where a radio command center was located.
He noticed the lights in command center we're already on and the radio equipment rack was intentionally short circuited. All the fuses in the rack we're blown.
"Yeah they were here…..they destroyed this thing in a hurry. Good thing William never knew I kept spares in my office down the hall." Funtime Foxy said walking down to get fuses from his office.
Fiona sat at one of the desks in the reception area, pulling a blank form out from her equipment bag. She tearfully filled it out with a pen. Her tear injectors could no longer release the water from her storage tanks, she emptied them, crying on the way here. A fazbear tech would need to refill them for her later.
It was a death certificate form.
Chica saw her filling out the form.
"Fifi…what is that?" Chica asked.
"It's Lance's death certificate form, I have to fill it out to give this to the coroner when they arrive to take him, it's my job. As a medical professional who pronounced a death, I'm required by law to fill this out. Someone who is qualified has to do it, it should be me. Especially if it's for him." She said.
"Oh Fifi….I'm going to miss him too." Chica said sitting next to her and putting a hand on her shoulder.
"He was more than my boss, that man was someone I could call a father. He was always so kind and understanding, when I was built Chica, it wasn't like you guys. Your endo's were like infant's when they were first brought online. Someone had to take you under their wing to train you and your base AI into becoming who you are today. I was pre-programmed to know who I was and what I was meant to do, or at least into what Fazbear at the time wanted me to be. The only thing I got training on was a formal training from Sun on my first day of deployment at the daycare. I didn't have anyone….who developed a connection with me when I was new. An emotional one. You guys got to experience that to some degree, especially Roxanne having Foxy as her trainer when she first rolled off the assembly line. You and Glamrock Freddy coming off the assembly line and being trained together." Fiona said.
"I…didn't know the company never gave you the same base AI as me and the other glamrock models. I didn't even know we could be pre-programmed with pre-trained AI for a specific job role at the company." Chica said.
"Well this was something new they wanted to try. They were trying to reduce the time it takes to train new glamrocks coming off the factory floor. I was one of the first who got that treatment, so out of the box, I was the Pizzaplex's new peppy, and upbeat assistant daycare attendant, Fifi The Mouse, that would do puppet shows for the kids and would be positioned to compete with our competitors mouse mascot. The public would never know my internal prototype name, Fiona. It's still stamped inside here on one of my coolant pipes." Fiona said putting a hand on her flat stomach.
"But as you know Fazbear didn't deploy me while that whole Glitchtrap situation was going on. Until literally the day Freddy became CEO, I never had set foot in the place. I was kept in one of the warehouses with a make shift green room for me to stay in. I thought my only purpose was to entertain the kids, it's all I was taught from my birth, if you want to call it that." Fiona said.
"That. Explains so much. Well, your so much more than that now, Fiona." Chica said.
Fiona's eyes widened.
"Yes I'm using your real name. Your not Fifi The Mouse, anymore. It's time to be the real you." Chica said.
"Yeah that's what Lance said before he passed. I should let people call me by my prototype name more, I kept the name a secret for so long from all of you because I tried convincing myself that maybe I was meant to be, Fifi, the high energy mouse character for the daycare. The name just stuck at that point. But Lance made me realize, I'm so much more. I still didn't know what it was like to have a connection with someone though until I met him and he took me under his wing. Like I was some kind of little sister or daughter to him. He changed everything for me Chica, that man had an impact on my life and helped me grow, as a robot and as a woman. Now I know why you all have the bond you have with the humans in your life, like Gregory and Vanessa. And with each other. That's something that just can't be programmed into you. It's something that has to be experienced." Fiona said.
"I'm glad you got it figured out now. He was right. You are ready." Chica said with a smile.
Meanwhile Vanessa sat down at one of the leather couches in the high end waiting and reception area and looked to see if she had cell service, her iPhone had no bars.
"Shit." She said.
Her arm still hurt.
"Hey Vanessa, let me take a look at your shoulder." Mangle said sitting next to her. Mangle pulled down Vanessa's shoulder sleeve and saw the wound. The blood dried a little on the surface, but was still bleeding, it needs to be stitched.
"Yeah Vanny did a number on you hun, that looks nasty, let me see if I can clean it and stitch it up. I saw a medical supply room, let me check." Mangle got up and went to the medical room to get some supplies.
Mangle came back with a metal tray of supplies, and took off her fingerless gloves for a moment to put rubber sterile gloves.
"Thanks Mangle." Vanessa said.
"Of course hun, I got you." Mangle said.
She got saline to flush out the wound using a syringe filled with it to wash it out, she then applied a local anesthetic, lidocaine, she had in her kit. It had to be injected into the area.
"I gotta numb it hun, it's going to sting for a moment but then the lidocaine should kick in. Here I go." Mangle said.
Vanessa winced slightly.
"I guess that's why the kids at Kids Cove call you mama Mangle. Always looking out for everyone." Vanessa said.
"Well…I guess in some ways your like a daughter to me, and Gregory is like a grandson. I know it's probably weird, you being a 20-something, hearing that from someone who thinks like a 35 year old human." Mangle laughed.
"I guess when I think of it that way yeah, it's um different, when you consider we're only 12 years apart in age, mentally I mean." Vanessa said.
"Yeah, but we are far from what most consider is a "normal" family. And honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way. " Mangle said proudly.
"Still feel anything?" Mangle asked.
"Nope. Not anymore, thank god." Vanessa said.
"Okay I'm gonna stitch up the wound." Mangle said getting her sutures ready.
Freddy looked out the front windows of the building there was an access road and parking lot in the front of the building. He figured they might not even need the helicopter to get them, since OAOS would have direct access to the area.
He noticed his battery was low, and so did some of the others.
"I'm going to take time to charge, I'm going to need it." Freddy said to Vanessa.
She nodded.
"Yeah…I could use it too." Roxanne said joining him in the charging station next to him.
"I'll be back in a little babe, just need a charge." Monty said to Chica.
"After you three were trapped in that place for who knows how long, I don't doubt it. Get some rest while we try to get someone to pick us up." Chica said giving him a quick kiss.
Funtime Foxy was able to replace the fuses in the radio equipment at the command center. And got the radio up and going.
He made sure he had a signal.
"Cool! Hey Fifi!" Funtime Foxy shouted. He came out from the office hallway back into the reception area.
Fiona had just finished filling out Lance Dawkin's death certificate. She put it back in her bag for now.
"Yo Fifi!" Funtime Foxy said.
"Did you get the radio working?" Fiona asked.
"Yes!" Funtime Foxy said.
"Great, hold on." Fiona said.
Fiona followed Funtime Foxy down the hallway into the radio room.
She could hear the crackle of the radio system in the radio room. She sat at the controls and set the frequency and channel for the OAOS communications network.
She grabbed the mic and pressed the button.
"This is agent Mouse, can anyone hear me?" Fiona asked.
"C'mon, c'mon, someone. We can't leave this place on foot with the way the snow is coming down." Fiona said to herself.
A response was heard.
"Agent Mouse, this is Agent Rook currently circling the blast zone in chopper 18, what is your status?" The male voice asked.
She grabbed the mic in excitement.
"We managed to escape the facility. Package secured. Encountered numerous hostiles while there, unfortunately most were human or formally human, and we had no choice but to neutralize them. No sign of William Afton, or Eclipse Star. We located and neutralized Vanny. Requesting an evac." Fiona said.
"Give us your coordinates and we can get a team out there asap. Where is agent Dawkin?" Agent Rook asked.
Fiona was silent.
"C'mon Fifi, you can do this." Funtime Foxy said.
"Agent Dawkin….was an unfortunate casualty…..He was gravely injured from a gunshot by Vanny. I did the best I could to keep him stable, but he had lost too much blood. I'm sorry." Fiona said.
"Damn it….well you are now in charge Agent Mouse. Get me your coordinates and we will have a team in route. We will get to you, and make sure everyone goes home, especially that man." Agent Rook said.
"Foxy…do you have an idea of where we are?" Fiona asked.
"We have an address." Funtime Foxy said.
"Okay what is it?" Fiona asked.
"2455 Old Hurricane Road." The fox answered.
"Rook, I don't have direct coordinates but I have an address, 2455 Old Hurricane Road." Fiona answered.
"Okay Fiona, hang tight, we are on the way." Agent Rook said.
