A single conscious thought caught Gregory's attention before anything else. Where... am I? He couldn't open his eyes, or move. But he could feel things around him, for instance a flat, slanted surface below him. He had a sense of Gravity, but for some odd reason he couldn't smell, taste, or feel the temperature, and still, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't open his eyes.

He thought for a moment that something terrible had happened, and he was stuck, before hearing a voice. "Are we ready to commence the first testing phases?" In no time at all, another voice replied, both coming from somewhere not to close to him, but close enough that he could hear. "Yes, but Vanessa said she wanted to be here." He heard a sigh, before more silence.

Eventually there was the sound of a door being opened, and footsteps. One set of footsteps rhythmically  tapping on the floor, and the other heavily clunking, but slower. "Hurry up Freddy." Gregory clearly recognized Vanessa's voice. Wait... Freddy's here? He thought excitedly, thinking maybe his plan had worked. He realized he must be in the body of an animatronic, Buddy.

"Alright, I'm here, you can go on now." Vanessa said, before getting a hesitant reply from an unfamiliar voice. "Alright, but... Why is the other animatronic here?" He heard an annoyed sigh from Vanessa, before she responded back. "He said he wanted to be here." "'Wanted'??" The unfamiliar voice repeated in a skeptical tone, before Vanessa quickly brushed it off. "Just commence the basic movement and response testing." She said quickly.

He hadn't heard Freddy speak at all yet, but was caught by surprise when one of the unfamiliar voices addressed him by name, or at least, by his animatronics name. "Ok, we'll go ahead and have Buddy open and close his eyes, all he usuals."

To his surprise, he felt an odd sensation and his eyes opened and closed all on their own. It was odd. He couldn't move independently, yet he was moving, just not by his own decision. It was certainly odd and unsettling, but he figured it wouldn't last long. The good thing was, it appeared he was in good condition, everything working smoothly.

Being able to look around now a bit, (although not able to turn his head to see Freddy or Vanessa) he noticed how intricate his hands were, more intricate than Freddy's were, that was for sure. Unlike Freddy he had five fingers. He had only seen this with Sundrop, and no other animatronics. He wondered why.

Freddy meanwhile, was watching a bit curiously. After listening to the message Gregory had left, have had mixed feelings. However he remembered what Gregory said. "when another animatronic shows up... Be sure to say hi." He planned to do that.

He found it a bit interesting though that he had received the message only a day before a new animatronic was built. He wanted to believe that maybe there was something else going onto, but he didn't want to get his hopes up too high, knowing that probably wasn't the case.

He watched the animatronic moving, noticing how smooth its movement was for being built in under a week. Although they must have already had the basic blueprints finished. The animatronic appeared to be another modeled after a bear, but it was light blue, with darker blueish purple stripes. They was shorter than any of the other animatronics he had seen, and their limbs were shaped differently.

Although when Freddy looked at Vanessa for a moment, he was unable to overlook her grumpy mood, from when she offered to bring him here, to now. She had a stone cold glare plastered on her face, as she watched the animatronic. This wasn't normal, even for Vanessa. Though Freddy didn't want to ask what was wrong. Not while she was in this kind of mood.

"Buddy, you are now able to move, but do not get up. Please look in the direction of my voice." Gregory flinched, startled to hear someone address him directly, although they were right, he could move now. He looked around a bit, before quickly remembering what was asked of him, and looked up at where the voice had come from.
