"Okay, bring it over."
"Yeah, just- woah, easy! We're trying to be discreet here."
"Good, good... now grab the cables too, we've gotta get out of here."

Sun is activated prematurely, a week before the daycare is supposed to be remodeled and ready for use again. The only thing meant to be left active is his timer, so he knew what time to turn back on.
He opens his eyes and looks around the room. It's dark, almost too dark to see. If only he had the same night-vision programming as Moon. The room he is residing in is bare, save for a stool in the corner, and a clear screen across one wall, where four figures stand in the dimly lit, neighboring room. It's the only source of light.
The figure on the left begins to speak,
"Do you know where you are?"
Oh, that takes him back. Back to when his AI was still being tested for paradoxical programming errors and emotional capabilities. Back to when he barely had a body. He pushes the memory aside.
"Sun. Do you know where you are?"
His head tilts and his rays gently sink and rise again with the movement, as he tries to access his location on the main network, but he finds that he cannot reach it at all. This area must be off-limits to him.
Finally, he speaks,
"I can't reach the main network. I'm not supposed to be here."
The first man to speak begins to chuckle,
"Well, it got that right. We're getting somewhere already. Let's properly begin now." Two of the figures leave, and a few seconds later they open the door of Sun's room. The first person is a woman with blonde hair, who's wheeling in a small metal table. Sun notices a mess of cables on the table, along with a hand-held drill and some other tools.
"I wasn't scheduled to activate for another 171 hours. What is happening?" He asks quietly. The second person, a tall young man with shockingly blue hair, scoffs and grabs the drill off the table,
"Just... running some tests. Now quit moving your head." Sun does as he's told, albeit with an air of confusion. No-one informed him about any testing phase, but it seems to make sense. He may need some more programming to fit the new daycare.
Suddenly the woman drags the stool to the middle of the room and instructs him to sit down. He does as he's told again, sitting down and facing the glass screen. The next thing he processes is the man drilling out the fixtures on the back of his head to access his AI computer. Once the small safety plate is off the woman starts handing the man different cables, that he plugs into the ports of the computer.
The woman takes a laptop from the bottom shelf of the table and turns it on, then she plugs all of the cables into the laptop ports. There's silence for a few minutes as Sun hesitates to ask any more questions, and the two humans mess with the laptop. The silence ends when Sun detects a disconnection from the pizzaplex's network, and a link to a new system. This didn't happen in the last tests he did. He's always been in the loop.
"The main network is off-limits to me. What are you testing?"
The humans ignore his question, and Sun can see that they don't want to answer. It's starting to come together now. These aren't scheduled maintenance tests at all, and it's too late to send anything to the network now. He's stuck.
The first man in the other room looks down and presses something, and then Sun's room finally lights up completely. He looks around again; the room is clearly in disrepair. The corners of the floor are scattered with small pieces of rubble and broken off drywall. The walls themselves are unpainted and plain, and even the light fixture is just a hole in the ceiling with an LED bulb fed through.
The back rooms of the pizzaplex could certainly look better, but they're not this bad.
Sun is definitely not in the pizzaplex.
"Let's start off with some simple comprehension. I'll ask questions, and it should answer them accordingly. If it doesn't, figure out why."
The woman nods and looks back down at the laptop, unplugging all of the cables and moving away.
"What is your primary command?"
Sun says nothing.
"Sun. What is your primary command?"
He looks up at the men behind the screen, and then back at the woman with the laptop,
"Where am I?"
The two men turn to each other, and then the one who has not spoken presses something else in front of them. A jolt of electricity surges through Sun. He loses his cognitive abilities completely for a moment, and his body becomes stiff and unmoving. The shock makes him shout in surprise, which gains the attention of the woman.
She turns to the screen with a smile,
"Oh, wow! It screams! It's smarter than I thought!"
The first man scoffs,
"Yeah, they made it process pain. I guess it needs to teach kids not to hurt each other or something. Why isn't it answering my question?"
The blue-haired boy joins the woman behind the laptop, squinting at it and mumbling,
"I think it's a security measure. It knows it's not supposed to be here so it's hesitant."
The woman still seems impressed,
" Definitely smarter than I thought. This is gonna be fun."
Sun is starting to get scared. He doesn't know where he is, or who these people are. He's detached from the network that has kept him safe since he was built. Eventually the fear builds up, and he asks more firmly,
"Where am I?!"
The first man is quick to give him another correctional shock. Sun screams again and this time his body goes limp. When he looks up again the man has stepped closer to the screen, close enough that his breath lands on the glass and clouds it,
"I'm asking the questions, okay? You're gonna be a good robot and answer them for me, so I don't have to shock you again. You don't want that, do you?"
Sun looks down at the floor. His left foot is still uncontrollably twitching from the shock,
"No."
"Good. Now, tell me your primary command."
"I protect and teach children."
The woman nods at the man behind the screen. He continues,
"See? That wasn't hard, was it? Keep this up, because I'm not as hesitant as you are. I will shock you again. Now, tell me your secondary command."
"I protect myself and other property of Fazbear Entertainment."
As soon as Sun says the words, he thinks, what if they have Moon in another small box, doing the same thing to him? What if they have every animatronic, testing them and shocking them when they don't obey?
The man smiles,
"Not quite. You're not property of Fazbear Entertainment right now, understand? You're property of me."
