Capítulo 279: Zero ability
"What about the others?"
"There were two other human specimens. One arrived not long after the troublemaker... And the last one, not sure when he showed up... Thought the first one was going to be lobotomized at Y17, but she got out somehow..." Zero says, not noticing the slight growl that escaped Afton's throat.
"The last subject... Klein might know more, he talked to him, then let him leave the Think Tank. Hope he knew what he was doing." Zero remarks.
Afton slowly composes himself with the forced assistance of the pacification field, he stops the conversation for a moment to take a dose of Med X. Sure it as a little overpowered to be used for just a migraine, but Afton wasn't really in a state to care. "What do you mean?" he asks, wondering what Klein could know that worried Zero... The Think Tank was the place where anything and any thought could exist, so it was peculiar for the robot to have such inhibitions.
Zero seems to shake his monitor in response, "Klein knows things we don't. And I think he told some of those things to the visitor. Dangerous things if they ever got out." he says ominously.
Afton continues, deciding to question what happened to Christine, "What happened to the second visitor? Did they escape?" he asks.
"No idea. Either they escaped or didn't, I'm sure there's a third option somewhere but I don't care enough to think about it. Dala might know something, considering she's responsible for most lobotomizations done here at the Big MT."
"Hm." Afton hums, before remembering he had something else for Dr. Zero to do. "Oh yeah, I got this for you. Was wondering if you'd be able to figure out a way to deal with them, they all seemed connected to Mobius so interfering with that connection seems like the best place to start." he says, dropping a Robo-Scorpion in front of Zero.
"W-w-what! Get that thing outta here! Bad lobotomite! Don't bring dead things inside with you!" Zero suddenly exclaims, rapidly genuflecting around with his manipulators.
"Firstly, I'm not a dog. Second, I brought this so you can help in getting rid of Mobius. I barely escaped the army he sent after me, so having something to damage, or even stall them for a moment would help greatly." Afton explains, carefully hidden contempt towards Zero laden within his voice.
...
*Mumble, Mumble,*
"What was that?" Afton asks, having not picked up whatever Zero was saying.
"I said I*mumble*" the robot says, mumbling the rest of the sentence and causing a vein to appear on Afton forehead.
"Okay... One more time, loud enough so I can actually hear you." Afton slowly asks, as if speaking to a mentally challenged child.
"I said, I CAN'T DO IT!" Zero shouts shamefully, "Any time I touch one of Dr. Mobius robots they just explode and or fry themselves! I have no idea why, or what to do about it.... So there! Get that thing out before it explodes or something!"
Afton scowls, "I thought you were a robotics expert!? Something as simple as disassembling this, looking at its components and trying to interfere with its functions should be very, very easy for you!"
"I can only do one of those things... I'm only good for rendering machines inoperable, everything else goes the same way! You try fitting a lightbulb, only to find that you've accidentally disassembled it, the lightbulb socket, and the electronics leading to the switch!" Zero declares.
"Then what good are you?! Even a child can disassemble things, give them a hammer and your ability to destroy machines pales in comparison... What use are you if you're just a slightly more intelligent metal crusher!?"
"Ahhhhuhuhuhuh! I KNOW! I'M USELESS!" Zero cries out, and Afton was sure it would be properly crying if it had the ability to.
Afton huffs, and grabs the tail of the destroyed Robo-Scorpion, "I'll go ask someone who actually knows what they're doing." he states, giving one last kick to Zero's ego before waddling towards Dala. He wanted to ask about Christine before anything else, as well as whether or not Dala was responsible for hurting his lost big sister.
"Dala." he says, approaching the robot who appeared to be prodding some sort of organic material, each prod causing it to contract and wiggle as if attached to electrodes.
"Hmm? Ooooh? Has the teddy bear come to visit? Have you decided to let me examine that stubborn heart of yours again?" she asks, giving the organic material one last hard prod, causing it to explode in blood and gore... Once she turns around her monitors are immediately drawn to his legs, as well as the makeshift crutches he was using. "You seem to have taken some damage as well, don't worry, I can fix you right up." she says, slowly floating towards him, her vivisectors revving up.
"No. You won't touch me again as long as I can help it. I have something I need to ask, Dala." he says, not bother to explain how he got into this condition.
"Well then? Don't leave a feminine brain waiting, what does the teddy bear need of me?" she whispers almost sultrily, it's quite disturbing...
"I heard you had some 'visitors' in Big MT, I was wondering if you could tell me about them..."
"Ah, yes. We have three minus one visitors who volunteered themselves as subjects recently. Though, I find that some of my memory on them is... It must be stored with Dr. Klein, or somewhere equally as, or more secure..."
"Three minus one? What do you mean?" he asks, confused as how she'd phrased it.
"Three minus one is two, two spoke to us, one mean, one curious, but there was a third we didn't speak to. The last one is the minus one. It got traumatised, then taken to one of our medical centers for de-traumatisation. A rather unsettling procedure."
Afton knew she was talking about Christine, he was struggling slightly to maintain his composure at her being referred to as an object, or some kind of animal... "What do you mean 'traumatised'?" he asks after a moment, wondering if he wanted to hear about it.

Capítulo 280: Trauma
"What do you mean 'traumatised'?"
"If my memory doesn't fail me, we attempted various experiments on them... It was quite spectacular, seeing how a human head can glow to such an extent. So much so that I accidentally kept adding electro-static shock probes... The result was permanent physical scarring to the teddy bears brain, and some sort of mental trauma that I had no wish to investigate further... Therapy is not a science I like to prescribe to, especially when it spouts such meaningless things as morality, compassion, consequences." Dala says, bluntly, as if she hadn't just told him about how she'd tortured, physically and mentally scarred his family.
His fists grip so hard that they draw blood, red droplets falling from his left hand while vicious black ones dripping from his right... His was so angry that the pacification field was working overtime, and Afton could literally feel the tesla coils in his head heating up in response. It felt like a warm water bottle was placed behind his eyes.
Even with Med X preventing a considerable amount of pain, he was struggling to hide it from Dala. The migraine he'd been experiencing while here had just kept getting worse and worse. It honestly felt like his head would explode if it progressed any further...
He glances around for a moment while holding his head, eventually noticing the bottle of Day Tripper on Dala's desk. It was a hallucinogenic drug that made whoever took it lethargic, relaxed, it also had a mild tranquilising effect... Afton grabbed it and took enough to where it'd ease his roiling emotions, but not put him out of commission.
It didn't do much about the pain, but the migraine wasn't caused by anything physical, but mental. His aggression towards Dala had forced the pacification field to try and rid him of those thoughts, leaving him in the current situation.
He closes his eyes and allows the drug to take effect, trying his best to calm himself before his head explodes.
"Is something wrong, teddy bear? Do I need to adjust the machinery in your head? Your skin looks whiter than it should, perhaps you should take it off so I can examine it..." Dala asks.
Afton shakes his head, the pain beginning to lessen slightly, still... He needed to know more about what they did to Christine. "Earlier, you mentioned something about a De-traumatisation center?" he asks, ignoring her wish to skin him.
"Yes. We generally use them to 'de-traumatise' anyone who's too troublesome to deal with, but we also put the broken ones in there too. It doesn't matter the original problem, they all end up the same afterwards."
"And what does 'de-traumatisation' entail, Dala?" he asks.
"Why, you've experienced it yourself... A lobotomy procedure, followed by several rounds of conditioning, and whatever other experiments I feel the need to conduct. It's a shame the visitor managed to escape, I wonder if its brain looked like scrambled eggs after the electro-shock-makeshift lamp experiment."
...
"Yes... A shame." he mutters, feeling a great amount of gratitude to the unknown man who'd managed to save her from such a fate... "Did you manage to capture he-The subject. Afterwards?" he asks, after stumbling on a word that tasted bitter as he said it.
"No. It left after the other visitor destroyed one of Dr. Kleins trains, a shame, those trains still had some mutated teddy bears inside."
Afton nods. Thankful that Christine was out of this place, though, her treatment had brought attention towards the fact that Afton still wasn't really safe here. He'd assumed the scientists would keep him around after Mobius is gone due to his 'unique' status. But, now that he thought about it, it wouldn't be strange if they went back on their promises and tried to experiment on him further...
Yeah, he'd need to keep his cards to his chest if he wanted to go through this with his plans intact... Hm, he'd need allies, and as much as it pains him to say it, Dala was one of the more 'friendly' scientists here. He desperately wanted to... Disassemble her, for what she'd done to Christine, but Dala still had further uses.
8 was another potential ally, the only problem being he couldn't understand them. If he managed to fix his voice module then they'd be in his debt... Something else that caught his attention was the fact that most of the scientists seemed happy that his voice module was broken... Or at least, willfully ignored it.
Klein was a strange one, and Afton was sure the man's pride wouldn't allow him to exist in the state Afton wanted, not to mention their already somewhat sour relationship... Borous on the other hand, had promise.
Judging by the way the man reluctantly handed off the K9000, he seemed to still have some emotional attachment towards it. This meant that emotional manipulation could be used here, and that Borous wasn't as... Mentally distorted as the rest of the two-hundred year-old scientists seemed to be.
Last and most certainly least, is Zero. The incapable robotics expert who's more akin to a demolitions expert. With the obvious exception of the dexterity required in the latter expertise. Afton was very sure he could manipulate the useless robot to do his bidding. All he needed to do was soothe Zero's ego, and make him feel 'useful'... As difficult as it may be.
Despite his earlier insults to the robot, they were on 'fair' terms, due to him being the only one to actually use his name, as opposed to 'Dr. O'. That at least gave him an in with the scientist.
Nodding his head, he affirms his future plans and looks to Dala, "I... Thank you for your help, if you need anything just let me know." he says, before headed towards where 8 currently was.
"Anytime my teddy bear. Anytime." she whispers sultrily behind him, causing Afton to get goosebumps.
