Overdue Check-Up (Poppy Playtime) [ON HOLD]

(Chapter 4) Part 22: Return to Sender

Dan sighs as he shakes his head, "What took you two so long?" he asks as he ends the recording on his phone.

"Well-" Dogday started.

"We got ambushed," Catnap replied, getting a glare from the canine.

Dan then realized the state the two critters were in. Both were covered head-to-toe in gashes and bruises, Catnap was keeping his front left paw off the ground (which Dogday kept glancing at) while he bled profusely from several places, and Dogday had lost his eyepatch, which revealed the still-healing wound over his left eye.

Dogday notices him staring and 'smirks', "We've looked worse, don't worry."

Dan blinks before shaking his head, "Right," he looks back at The Doctor's capsule, "Well... The Doctor's dead," he holds up the circuit board he took, "And got the Omni-Hand circuit. I say we get the hell out of here and regroup with Safe Haven."

The critters nod and continue to walk up the steps, only for Catnap to see something hidden under the computer hooked up to The Doctor, "Wait, there's something here," walking over, he sees it's a small mandala folder with the words 'Experiment 1999' marked on the front like it was stamped.

He frowns as he holds it out to the others, "Nearic," Dan breathes, making the feline nod.

Dan approaches while Dogday tightens his grip on his weapons, "Please don't tell me that's what I think it is."

The man takes the folder and opens it, finding several sheets of paper held within; the first being the same observation reports for the Game Station tests, "It is."

Game Station Assessment Form

Subject Name: Nearic Bearal

Procter Name: Sam Marvik

Assigned Toy: Boogie Bot

TRIAL 1: MUSICAL MEMORY

Performance [1-5] 4

Results: Has more than a good understanding of patterns and executions, learned halfway through how to flow from one color to another. Allowing faster response times and greater accuracy. Made few mistakes from tripping and/or incorrect button selections.

TRIAL 2: WHACK-A-WUGGY

Performance [1-5] 3

Results: High alertness and awareness of his surroundings, reacted to every scuttle and scuffle like a potential attack, and very accurate with strikes against the Huggy toys. Missed few firings and sometimes fired at nothing.

TRIAL 3: STATUES

Performance [1-5] 2

Results: Appeared exhausted from first test; making him slower and fatigued throughout the trial. Slow when wading through the first foam pit and had trouble traversing over the second. Subject still managed to make it to the other side; however, that was the only good quality out of this test.

Dogday growled, "Monsters, recording him like some sort of object!" Catnap frowned, his claws raking the ground slowly.

Dan closes the folder, "We'll look through it later, right now we need to get out of here and back to Safe Have, back to Nearic," he hands Catnap the folder, "Put this away."

The feline does so while Dan takes a look around the room, spotting an open door to the right and pointing to it, "Let's check there first."

The three walk into the room and see a console ahead of them, a stand for a GrabPack hand on the left, a keycard next to it, then a computer screen, then another case for a hand.
