In A Mood~

<Starlight is working dayshift at one of the older locations, Freddy Fazbears Classic Pizza. Having taken over for the paid human day guard they do not have to have on site while she is stationed at the location, she watches the cameras from a small security office. She cannot connect wirelessly to this outdated security system like she can in all other locations.>

<She reccives a notification on her fazwatch. Starlight perks up as she brings up her wrist to eagerly check the message she received, hoping it is her friend Sun finally willing to talk to her again.>

<It is not.>

. . . .

<If SSP cared about that sort of thing right now, the robot would notice that the usual anxiety and agitation that usually accompanies switching into High Security Mode is absent. This time there is only a calm, sharp focus. The Security Unit's thoughts now running along clean, efficient lines as rapid calculations are made.>   

--> I am a Target --> Altercation highly likely --> Bystanders at risk --> Leave site for secluded area? --> Closest secluded site unknown --> Unable to efficiently navigate populated area --> Move in direct line to exit urban zone? --> Size of urban zone unknown --> Will lose home field advantage --> Remain --> Evacuate location to remove potential casualties --> Activate Fire Alarm --> Fire Alarm faulty --> Mimic Fire Alarm with general Security Alarm --> Oversee Evacuation --> Units Freddy-1 Bonnie-1 Chica-1 Foxy-1 unauthorized to leave premises without Admin Permissions --> Initiate Emergency Security Override

“Subadmin Authorization SSP-HELegacy-1 Emergency Override. Sys Admin Charlotte Emily Authorization Code: Greenband.1TH4TG0T4W47 - Apply to All Units Command Code: FBCFX1-HW1-N1GH756AM Disengage All Pathing Restrictions”

“The heck is goin’ on, Stripes? I don't see no fire, no smoke-”

"You have admin codes?!"

“SSP, I need you to expl-”

“Immediate Terrorism Threat on Site. Evacuate and keep all humans a safe distance away. Do not mention threat. Go.”

--> Not a complete false hood

"Terrorism!? Hun, what are you talki-"

“GET OUT.”   

--> Site Clear --> Cut power --> Move to most suitable ambush position --> Contact Eclipse-1

@eclipse83. Startravel Sun Unit (Sun-2) Compromised. Unit gone Rogue. Highly dangerous. You are a likely target. Cooperate to subdue rouge unit?

--> Contact Sun-3

@insults-by-sun. Startravel Sun Unit (Sun-2) Compromised. Unit gone Rogue. Highly dangerous. You are a likely target. Startravel Eclipse Unit (Eclipse-2) requires immediate assistance.

--> Destroy Fazwatch to prevent tracking by Rogue Unit? --> Rogue Unit likely able to track location by magic --> Not worth loss of communication with allies --> Calculating combat scenarios --> Prioritize incapacitation over decommissioning --> Unless human casualties likely otherwise --> Accept decommissioning of SSP-1 Unit as most likely outcome without assistance of Eclipse-1 Unit --> Await Arrival of Rogue Unit Sun-2

Don't worry about it!

I'll be with you in a moment, just setting up a few things real quick.

Thank you for letting me do this.

Thank you, my dearest.

Unsettling.. but not unfamiliar.

<There was a vague sense of bemusement at the mention of a wrench, but it was schooled quickly behind an indifferent facade once more. Clip continued inputting something into the panel. It seemed to take a while, so he stopped and input something else in a side window. A fairly comfy chair materialized near Eclipse.>

Sit, make yourself comfortable.

This will require some precision, and thus some time.

Hey. This is Eclipse. I... require your assistance... regarding my code. That corrupted Sun did something to it and I would need help figuring out what it is exactly. You are the only one I know with the knowledge necessary to solve this problem.

Believe me. If I had any other choice I wouldn't have asked you for help.

( @eclipse83 )

Why, ofcourse.

Do you expect me at yours, or would you like to come to mine?

I may have better equipment to deal with your... little issue.

E., who has been waiting for you.

Yes, child. To me you are still very young, all things considered. Sun and I have been around for thousands of years by now. Our travel was, at first, a bid for survival. World after world that destroyed itself, and how would we continue?

No matter. That's a story for another time.

Nothing is as simple as it seems.

<Eclipse slowly shook his head from the memory and smiled warmly, but more akin to molten lava than a gentle fireplace>

Do you not find Starlight a fitting and appropriate name? It is filled with hope, and a future. It suits you.

It is also good to meet you, dear friend, and yes the name is quite fine.

Your other dear Eclipse is a young bot, in comparison. He has gone through a lot but hasn't processed much of it. Nor has he experienced horrors to come, if our timelines share any similarities.

Pray that they don't.

Perhaps he learns rather from the tranquil environment he is in right now. Time goes on, after all. Miring in tragedy serves no one well.

He is sweet in his own way!

And you have no idea how much you saved me, Star! So, the least I can do is invite you here with us. Plus I need to apologize for being so rude and leaving on short notice after everything.

<Sun looked a little ashamed>

But feel free to roam and enjoy! It's not the best place for an animatronic but, I'll be honest, this sunlight makes me feel... at ease. If you ever want to go anywhere else at all, I'll take you!

<Sun smiled brightly>

Like Eclipse said, not everything had to be tragedy all the time, right ? Work is fine and all, but a sense of peace is even better ~

@es-startravel

Hello!? Hello!? Sun, This is Starlight Security Puppet! If it is safe for you to do so, can you please tell me where you are?

I came back from my dayshift rounds to check on you and I cannot find you anywhere! And I still have the cameras blacked out in parts and service so I do not know when you left or where you went!

I can not find you via any of the active cameras in the pizzaplex so I assume you are either hiding or have left the pizzaplex entirely.

Are you safe? I am not sure if you are in good enough condition to be out and about!

-SSP

You are no longer lost, star.

Why don't we change this to something more... fitting?

Journalling about our journey through the galaxy is bound to amuse some.

E.

That is how we got rid of our little problem ~

Plural, even.

E.

From a business standpoint, what's one or several things you'd definitely change if you were in charge of a place like Fazco?

I think it'd be best to just rebuild the entire building at this point. That thing is just one giant red flag of safety violations. And if they actually cared about safety they wouldn't need to put such exorbitant prices to pay for all their lawsuits or to shut people up.

Memories...

I also heard music.

Stream of consciousness music is always such a surreal experience....

By all means.

E.

Though I'm tempted to pick you up by the scruff like the wet cat you're acting like right now and throw you in a cat dryer.

<In the background, Eclipse immediately got chastised by Sun for being unkind, looking much like the snarky, wet cat himself now>

I mean. I am no scientist but given what I have l learned and experienced recently "Impossible" seems much smaller than it used to be.

You developed a means to punch holes between realities out of what mostly appeared to be boredom, Eclipse. Within weeks. So forgive me if I thought that something else completely insane like that was within your abilities.

-SSP

Heh. I'm flattered you think I could make a portal in only a few weeks. But that portals represents months of work.

Sure. Exploring a blackhole might not be entirely impossible. But it'll most certainly take a bit longer than the portal.

As you were, then.

Well done.

And yes, the name suits you, Starlight.

You remind me a little of a young Sun, though you are clearly very different personalities.

On the topic of your Eclipse, however... he seems to be.. what do they call it.

A tsundere?

Was that it, Sun?.. I believe so.

<Eclipse chuckled.>

You may have a chat with Sun, here.

I must be off for a little while.

<He looked distracted, and Sun seemed to be holding his tongue from asking what's up. He knew better.>

<Eclipse left>

Yeah, Star. Eclipses are meant to be something. That's for sure. I mean, it's the ones with the biggest problems that have the biggest potential for greatness once they turn it all around usually, because that sort of strength and discipline changes a person, you know?

Also, I can tell you all about the places we've been! If you have the time..

<Sun seemed weary but willing. Not all stories were good ones.>

-SSP

No need to panic. I'm rather pleased at your confession.

That little cockroach really didn't deserve you. How could he ever match your greatness.

You are just like me. We devote ourselves to the ones we love.

Hmm~

You're lovely.

I have a rather disturbing predicament on my hands as of now though.

There are.. core files being corrupted as we speak.
