The Old Animatronic - FNAF Security Breach Fanfic

Chapter 2 - I'm Back Baby

Parts and service was a hectic place. People rushing around with bots carrying boxes and spare parts in tow, rushing around to different machines and running in and out of the many doors and corridors that lead away. It was always busy. I mean, of course it was, it was practically the hub of the Pizza-Plex.

Though today. It was silent. Everyone gathering round a table in the side of the room. On it was a new animatronic that looked decades old. Ridden with holes and exposed wires. Its white shell barely visible from under the layers upon layers of dust that coated its exterior.

"I heard that the two guards on patrol found it." "It started screaming at them!" "They found it in one of the disposal rooms, wonder what it was doing there?"

The room was filled with hushed whispers as everyone speculated what was going on, even the animatronics didn't know! Well, except Roxy, but for some reason she won't tell what was going on, only that she had to haul it here at basically midnight.

Everyone had been told that the Pizza-Plex had been scheduled to close for the next week or so due to 'renovations'. At least that was what Fazbear Entertainment had said to the public and the workers.

Due to this fact, the Plex was packed full of customers seeking to get a day in the Pizza-Plex before it closed for the next month. Though no one really knew what was happening which just added to the mystery even more. Though people had noticed construction equipment and supplies gathering around a corner of the main atrium which had definitely fueled the hundreds of rumours that were spreading like a wildfire.

The tech that was on duty on the night that the animatronic was found was assigned to inspect her internals, externals, and programing throughout the next couple days. His main priority was just to get her running for the time being. They would worry about making her reliable and non-scary to kids later.

Its internals were surprisingly in one piece, well compared to what they had expected to see. There was dust, dirt and rust everywhere but nothing compared to what should've been there considering the fact the animatronic is from the 80's.

The background noise of Parts and Service was drowned out by the approaching footsteps of someone behind. Slowly getting out of the animatronics chest cavity, that it had for some reason, the tech looked behind expecting it to be some random worker asking about the animatronic again...

Only to see the Boss and most of the other higher ups approaching.

'Oh.'

'That's why everyone went silent.'

"So, Alex, what have you found so far?"

"Oh uh hi sir, it's in an... ok state? Its power core is old and doesn't seem to be that stable... same with most of its motors and stuff like that, most of the outer paneling can be reused, probably, though it will need a bit of work. If we want her to perform again then we will need to replace pretty much all of her internal mechanics."

"Right, that might be pretty expensive. Is it possible to turn her on to run a diagnostic program? To try and find any deeper problems that might stop this whole idea before it gets off the ground."

"Uhh, yeah probably. Give me a couple minutes while I boot her up."

The tech walked over to the console next to the table and started prepping the diagnostic program before leaning over the animatronic to connect wires.

"What makes you think it's female?"

"Well it-"

He stopped and franticly scrambled backwards as the animatronic started to twitch. A blinking red light appearing on its power core in the centre of its endoskeleton. Before anyone can acknowledge what's happening and say anything, it bolts up and frantically looks around the room before locking its eyes (Eye?) with the technician next to it. Not a word is spoken nor noise made as the two lock in a staring contest.
