Between the fights, the frights and the flights of last night none surprised you more than the Rep's forgiveness. He even allowed you to keep your job! Of course, you'd have to fix everything you and the 'purple squad' did but you didn't mind.

The rest of the party was a blur, mostly Bonnie catching up with the band members. You and the rep had a heart to heart as you explained to him exactly what had happened last night. He listened attentively, only interjecting when he needed to.

You found the Rep had predicted an outcome like this, even accurately guessing Bonnie would somehow cause these events. You originally thought the Rep as just some pencil pusher but apparently he had deep knowledge of the plex. Why he didn't inform you sooner you knew not.

Just prior to hiring you he had put in an insurance claim for a possible lockdown and burglary.

He was correct and the money was paid off. When the investors learned of the incident that had occurred as well as the temporary shutdown they were upset. Thanks to the Rep's insurance claim however, any money they would have lost was quickly recouped. Any qualms they had quickly vanished.

There was a reason he was in charge of the plex.

With how much the Rep apparently knew you decided to confide in him about the chip. You explained that it was what you thought was the incident's catalyst. He was interested but insisted you keep it. He mentioned something about 'certain people' wanting that chip more than anything. "The owners of the plex have had 'bad luck' with such technology. I'd rather have someone who'd do the right thing hold onto it." Is what he said. You weren't sure who he was referring to but assumed it to be some person buried in the plex's past or even someone currently working there.

He explained that Bonnie was an 'announcer' of sorts and that he could interface perfectly with the intercoms and broadcast 'announcements'. The Rep stated it was some program called "interface and control" and it was built into his person. He explained that he thought that was how most of the animatronic's got corrupted during the SB-9 incident. He stated not even Bonnie knew of that power. Based off what you had read about the incident it fit with the added luck that Freddy was glitched that night and avoided the control. It also made sense how Vanny was unable to command Bonnie. It was his own ability! Of course he was immune to such a thing.

"I would have liked to figure out exactly how he could interface alas, I am not a technical person." The Rep admitted.

As for the other animatronics not present you quickly found out the fates of your 'co-workers'.

The DJ was in need of repairs, the endos having dislocated two of his arms. Figuring that was enough to beat him they abandoned the fight and made for 3F, where you and Vanny were. Despite the damages, the DJ at least managed to de-commission several of the endos.

You later found out what exactly had happened in the daycare with Chica. Whether intentional or accidental a pile of garbage was dropped in front of her. For the rest of the night she had been forced in agony to stare the trash, unable to get to it. It was then that she emitted the distress signal, something she wasn't even aware she could do.

In between the struggling Chica had damaged herself, dislocating her head. It was why for the rest of the night she was silent. She was furious with you when you got her back online, guessing that whole 'trash thing' was your doing. You knew it was going to take a lot of garbage to get her to even talk to you now.

When talking to the Rep about Chica he filled you that the members have a sort of 'hidden' ability. He called it a failsafe technology and that Chica's was to emit a distress signal. You figured Bonnie's was that announcer ability. It got you thinking what the other animatronics' 'secret' abilities were.

Roxanne was understandably furious with Gregory. And when she found out it was your idea to send the kid and Moon together she was also angry with you.

You had your work cut out for you. Ah well, time would mend any issues you all had.

Vanessa had awoken a short time later, distressed and freaking out. You, her and the Rep had a tense conversation following that. He demanded to know why she didn't destroy the 'suit' like he asked. You had wished to examine it further but were otherwise glad it was gone. Despite Vanessa's protests the Rep confiscated the rest of the suit and presumably got rid of it.

In the end, she seemed relieved that Monty had destroyed the helmet and mentioned that with that, 'Vanny' was no more.

Gregory was exhausted from the events and had fallen asleep. Though Sun offered to allow him the daycare, Vanessa and the Rep decided it would be best for him to go home. He could come help fix the plex later. The Rep also mentioned that you needed a break and that the workers would take it from there.

"We still need to find all the 'physical' damage your little crew caused." The Rep said jokingly.

Vanessa profusely apologized to you, offering whatever you wanted and whatever information you needed. She offered to take you for breakfast after dropping off Gregory, an offer you took up. She felt at ease to finally get that off her chest. Eventually, through friendship she would give you the true story of who and what Vanny was.

There was one detail about her actions that left you confused. Last night, when she nearly fainted upon seeing Bonnie. What was that?

She also explained that seeing Bonnie yesterday triggered some repressed memories and that she'd seen him before. She just couldn't remember exactly where. You figured she'd recall it eventually. It took her a bit to actually look at Bonnie, a feeling of 'dread' emerging when she saw him.

The plex opened up a few days later with a huge announcement. The Fazbear 4 was rebranded as the Fazbear 5 with Bonnie's official re-debut. People went nuts and it boosted the plex's popularity immensely.

Through negotiations with Monty you convinced him to keep playing the bass while occasionally switching to the saxophone. Convinced he could learn other instruments Monty began experimenting, collaborating with Bonnie more.

Due to the lack of integral damage the Rep decided not to classify what had happened as an official incident, instead referring to it as your "Trial by Fire".

It took a pile of notes and plenty of scrap paper but after a few days you finally wrote up a report on how you think Bonnie was murdered. As much as he didn't like it you also had to grill him for his take on those nights' events.

You determined that through an unseen force, something or someone had orchestrated Monty to kill Bonnie and the endos scavenge him for those 'controlling' parts. That 'unseen force' had to have also been behind those bots taunting you back on the first night. You weren't scared by those staff bots at all anymore.

Course you couldn't figure out why the body was dumped in the race course but guess that the endos were stopped, either by the morning staff or someone else. You figure they were planning to take more stuff from Bonnie but failed.

You would get to the bottom of the mysteries.

You knew it.

There was much more to the plex and her secrets. But hey, time was on your side now. You weren't going anywhere.

There was also the matter of the mysterious figure you saw at the end of the night. Whatever...or whoever it was brought you worry. If it ever showed up again you knew to get ready for fighting. That figure instantly gave you a feeling of dread. It had some unknown connection to the plex, something you intended to sever.

You also couldn't get that yellow rabbit out of your mind. It was like he was there, quietly whispering to you. You figured it a form of shellshock from that night, determining it will eventually just go away. From what Bonnie told you, you were only under hypnosis for a few seconds. Whatever the hell that was couldn't have affected you that much. Right? You noted that if it ever got worse you'd just see a therapist.

When you found out about Bonnie's 'controlling' ability it occurred to you that each of the band members would have to have some 'receiver' that allowed them to be controlled. Figuring that's how they got corrupted in the first place you decided to open each band member up.

You found similar 'receiving/controlling' chips within each except Monty. Upon his autopsy you determine that it was shattered, explaining why Monty was able to resist the corruption easier than the others. While thinking on it you realized that while Monty could have easily fought the corruption it was partially your fault he didn't. After all, you had completely destroyed his self-esteem the day before. Man, he really got the short end of the stick. You also wondered how things would have turned out had Freddy not gone and blabbed about Bonnie. A non-corrupted Monty, fully pissed off would have been a real threat or ally. But ehn, past was past. In the end it helped he was in such disarray.

You explained this to Monty who accepted the situation. He realized that after Gregory had 'saved' him back on that night he was just too pissed off at the kid to realize what had happened. Otherwise he might have joined Freddy and Gregory.

Regardless, the next time he saw Gregory he thanked the boy for saving him back then. Gregory had no idea what he was talking about.

The covered up room in Rockstar Row you later found out was Bonnie's green room. The Rep had been so confident in your abilities that he ordered it be constructed after you decided to go full-time. When all was said and done the band members threw him a real welcome back party.

You were currently with Bonnie in his green room. He had stylized it exactly as he wanted. He just needed a few more boxes from his old place but you would help with that. You decided to take a 15 minute break in between carrying boxes over.

Your first week at the Fazbear Entertainment Pizza Plex had concluded.

Sitting with Ol' Big Ears you raise a can of fizzy soda and toast with Bonnie.

"Here's to the first week!" You shout.

"And to many more!" Bonnie shouted back.

The End...for now?
