Summary
”There has to be some pattern to it,” Michael says, fidgeting with his pen. “If I could just solve why it happens to some bots but not others, why it hasn’t happened to more than one of the same set, yet… and then of course, there’s the matter of reproduceability.”
“Aww, Mikey~” Jeremy teases. “I thought you said you didn’t want kids?”

or: while I was working on the historical timeline of Freddy’s for my Security Breach fics, I kept getting distracted with (mostly) the 80s. So here’s somewhere to store all the little fics I come up with for that time period.
Latest Chapter: The Big Oops
When he arrives, Freddy’s Wonderland is buzzing, but not in the normal, midmorning-Saturday kind of way. Following the source of the commotion leads him exactly where he was headed anyway: the Mangle has somehow gotten into the exposed rafters above the Prize Counter, and several people are attempting to get it down, including the one he’s here to see.Series

Summary
The Watch-and-Learn Protocol is present in every animatronic in the Mega PizzaPlex. It allows the AIs to adapt and develop in response to observation and interaction with humans, to become as lifelike as possible. It was inspired by existing programs, with advanced filters to allow them to judge the morality of a behavior before adapting it into their files.
It was installed over the network like a routine software update, rather than something new and experimental to be carefully tested and monitored by the technicians. Aside from that, there’s nothing in the program to suggest that it is anything other than a genuine Fazbear Entertainment program.
Five short stories from six different perspectives, covering approximately six months leading up to the night of the game. A record of major developments in the ‘Plex, and an exploration of what it means to be a person — for better and for worse.
