Security Breach: The Rabbits Glitch

Chapter 10: Gotta Go. NOW!

You watch as roxy creeped around the display cases. She was almost in a crouch, as if she were about to prance at any second.

It was safe to assume that, like Chica, Roxy was also in some 'attack' mode. It couldn't have been some security protecol because the Glamrocks had set personalities made for performance. They weren't programmed for security, that was the moons job, or whatever guard was on shift that night.

Something else was causing these anamatronics to behave like this.
Perhaps a glitch?
No. A glitch would just bug out whatever program they had before. But this was different. They were violent. Purposefully violent. That couldn't have been an accident, it must have been programmed.

Maybe it had something to do with the rabbit person you saw earlier. Did they break in and program this?
But if so, then they would have had to have access to the anamatronics, and have security clearance to obtain access to parts and service. Not to mention, they would have had to already know their way around the plex and understand the glamrocks designs to cause this.
The only people who had access to that stuff was the employees.

You think back to the late night of research you spent after your first shift. Multiple law suites were filed by the same person. Those law suits were in such great depth and even mentioned issues that had to do with staff only areas.
This couldn't have been a coincidence.
Multiple in-depth lawsuits by an anonymous person on the same day, a programmed attack mode on the anamatronics, some weird person hanging out in the staff only basement.

There's a possibility that this could have all been constructed by the same person. Maybe even an employee or ex-employee. But why?

Robotic cluncking noises approaching snapped you out of your thoughts. Roxy was walking by.

"Umm, lucky stars? The time." Chica fiddled nervously. You almost complete forgot. The hourly lights out were about to happen, but Roxy was blocking your way to the utility tunnels.

"What do we do Chica? Roxy is blocking our path!" You whispered harshly.

"I'm sure we can just move by her. She wouldn't mind if we needed to get to a destination" Chica said in hope. You get the sense that Chica didn't understand that Roxy would attack you if she saw you.

"Chica, I think roxy might hurt me. I mean, look at her, she's all twitchy and standing all weird, just like you were before I woke you up." Chica didn't like this.

"But... we aren't made to harm anyone." She grew upset, but you didn't have time for this. You needed to get to that recharge station. She really cared about her friends. Wait, that was it. Idea.

"Chica, how about you go talk to Roxy, while I go to the utility tunnels. You can just quickly join me afterwards when I'm out of her sight." Genius plan. But you had to get it done soon. Time was running out.

"Oh yes I like the sound of that lucky stars!"

"Shhh. Not to loud." You heard the metal clanking footsteps from outside stop, then start approaching the room. Oh no. And as if Chica were reading your mind. She quickly exited the room and ran up to Roxy.

Roxy was standing right in front of the glass display wall. How were you supposed to walk by without being seen.
You look around and find an oversized box amongst the pizza boxes and trash in the corner.

Maybe you could do this stealth video game style. You squeeze your way through the door, cringing at the noises made by the box. And crawl your way across the cold floor. You could hear chica and roxy because they were right near you.

"Ahaha, so then I thought to myself that stripes never go with spots. And it was crazy since the pizza was-"
Chica sure was rambling on about whatever to Roxy. Taking a peak out of a small hole in the box, you see Roxy staring at Chica blankly, while Chica passionately told her story.

You slowly crawled across in small movements.

"Who's there. I'm the best! You will find them first." Roxy shouted. You froze and peeped out the hole in the box. Roxy was staring right at you, but didn't approach.

"Oh my goodness Roxy you're so silly. There's no one there, just a box that'll be cleaned by staff bots later" Chica tried to casually laugh it off but Roxy was unfazed. She didn't seem to be listening to Chica, but rather just staying neutral because Chica wasn't a person. Roxy was looking for a human. You sweat nervously as Roxy remained staring at you. It was almost as if she could see through the box. But she wasn't attacking just yet. Was she waiting for you to move to confirm that you were there?

"Oh come on Roxy. I thought you were the best. Only the best would realise that no one would be in that box." Chica teased. You thought it was a weak attempt to shift Roxys attention, but it seemed to do just the trick.
Roxys head snapped back at Chica.

"I am the BEST!" Roxy shouted. You continued to crawl as Roxy was listing all the reasons why she was better than everyone else. Chica listened interested. It was pretty funny how Chica knew how to push Roxys buttons like that. But what was even funnier, was that this dumb plan was working in the first place. You were crawling in an oversized box for goodness sake.

Eventually, after bumping into a few pillars or so, you make it to the utility tunnel doors, and you head inside, closing the doors behind you. At this moment, you didn't have time to wait for Chica. You bolted your way through the tunnels to get to the recharge station.

The lights went out and within moments, you could hear a distant sound of jingling bells.

You ran quicker, dodging crates and other scattered objects. But the jingling only got closer.

"Naughty naughty~" a husky cackling voice whispered.

The recharge station. You could see it.

"Bad children must be punished." it hissed. Eww why was this thing so creepy.

Almost there.

Running.

Out of breath.

Faster.

It's getting closer.

Almost there.

Closer.

Almost...

You make it.

Prying the door open and slamming it behind you.

Catching your breath.

You turn back.

Through the small circular windows, there was a smiling face.

Half white, half navy, smiling moon.

It's eyes were black and it's pupils glowed red.

It's faceplate spun in circles as it cackled.

"Naughty naughty~" It repeated.
