Summary: Echo thought he had gotten past these episodes.

Author’s Note: I swapped the prompts for today and tomorrow, because I was going to post Part 3 of Regroup today; however, I needed a little more time with it, so it will be coming tomorrow!

“CT-1409, do you experience these episodes often?” a soft, even, expressionless voice asks.

Echo turns his head and finds himself face to face with a Kaminoan lab assistant, large orb eyes blinking slowly, expectantly. Waiting. They had asked him a question.

“What?” he asks, shifting awkwardly where he sits on the end of a medical cot, metal legs dangling.

The Kaminoan sighs but repeats the questions. “Your night terrors. Do you experience these episodes often?”

“No,” comes the automatic lie, “I don’t have night terrors.”

“That is incorrect, CT-1409,” the Kaminoan refutes, “Our records indicate that you experience night terror episodes between two and three times per week.”

“What records?” Echo demands. He’s never confessed his nightmares to anyone, let alone a Kaminoan medical facility. The only ones who know that he wakes up some nights with a scream being torn out of his lungs are...

“We receive reports from Clone Force 99,” the Kaminoan replies coolly. “It is troubling that you would find it acceptable to lie about your condition.”

Echo’s mind is reeling. The Batch told them? They’ve been reporting to the Kaminoans all this time? He trusted them...

“It isn’t a condition,” Echo protests weakly. His mouth and throat feel like he swallowed sand.

“Fully functioning clones are resilient to mental and emotional disorders such a post-traumatic stress. However, seeing as you have been altered extensively by the Techno Union, it is understandable that your cognitive constitution has been compromised.” The Kaminoan turns away from him, picks up a syringe filled with a silvery blue substance.

Echo stares at it. “What is that?”

“The cost of treating your condition far outweighs the benefits,” the Kaminoan tells him. “Please lie back and remain calm.”

“You’re going to decommission me,” Echo breathes out. He doesn’t move to lie down, he can’t. Even if he wanted to. He doesn’t want to. He doesn’t want to die. “I need to speak with my commanding officer. CT-99...”

“There is no need,” the Kaminoan interrupts him. “Your commanding officer is fully aware of our decision.”

“No!” Echo shakes his head. “Hunter would not allow this. I demand to speak to him immediately.”

“You are Kaminoan property. Your commanding officer has no say. Please follow my request, or I will be forced to have you restrained.”

Echo wills himself to move, but it’s as though his muscles have turned to stone, heavy and unyielding. He can only watch in horror as the Kaminoan approaches him, puts a hand on his shoulder and pushes him back. The needle of the syringe glistens in the haunting white light overhead.

“It is a painless death,” the Kaminoan assures him.

“No, please,” Echo begs, and he realizes he is crying. “Please, I don’t want to die. Please.”

“You have served your purpose and are no longer a valuable or viable resource.” The pinch of a needle.

“Please...”

“Echo!”

The cyborg sits up with something between a strangled scream and a gasp. He is breathing hard, lungful after lungful of air doesn’t seem to be enough. A hand grips his bicep hard, and Echo pulls away wildly, swinging out with his scomp arm.

“Hey, hey, take it easy,” Hunter’s voice sounds startled, and Echo turns to see the Sargeant looking at him from several paces away.

“Stay away from me,” Echo chokes out, “Don’t come near me.”

“Echo,” Hunter soothes, “you were having a nightmare. You’re safe. You’re okay.”

“No,” Echo cries, “I’m not okay. I’m not!”

“Alright,” Hunter says.

Echo nods, still breathing hard. He can’t decide if his face is wet from sweat or tears. Maybe both. Either way, he rubs at his face with a shaking hand.

Hunter takes a step toward him, and Echo swallows, averting his eyes to the tangle of blankets only half covering him now. “Can I sit next to you, vod?” Hunter asks.

Brother.

Echo nods again, but Hunter still approaches slowly, like Echo’s a wounded animal about to lash out with teeth and claws. He kneels next to the bunk and puts out his hand, palm up. An offering. Echo takes it, gripping Hunter’s gloved hand so tight the fabric protests. “This is real,” Hunter murmurs. “You’re safe.”

“I’m safe,” the ARC echos softly. He sniffs. He is definitely crying. Kriff.

“This hasn’t happened in a while,” Hunter comments gently.

Echo tips his head back against the wall. “I thought I was getting better.” He glances at Hunter. “Did Omega hear anything?”

“Yeah,” Hunter admits, “she came and got me.”

Echo curses. “Hope I didn’t scare her too badly.”

“You didn’t,” Omega says from the doorway, her body pressed against the frame. “I was just worried about you.”

“I’m fine, kid,” Echo says. He releases Hunter’s hand and tries to wipe the dampness from his face again. “Just a bad dream.”

Omega smiles at him. “It’s okay if you’re not, though,” she says.

Echo blinks. Damn it. The kid was going to make him start bawling again. He returns her smile shakily but doesn’t trust himself to say anything, so he gives her a tight nod. That seems to be enough, because after another flash of a smile, she’s gone, called away by Tech in the cockpit, by design, Echo thinks distantly.

“Do you want to talk about it?” Hunter asks.

Echo shakes his head, the residual emotions of betrayal lingering in the corners of his mind. That wasn’t real, he reminds himself firmly. This is real.

“Okay, that’s fine,” Hunter says. He stands up, puts a heavy hand on Echo’s shoulder for a moment, then follows Omega out of the room, leaving Echo alone.

He focuses on the sound of the ship around him, takes a steadying breath. This is real.

Shuffling Numbers

Also on AO3 [500 words] For Whumptober 2022 - day 29: Defiance

Everyone in the GAR knows that the Coruscant Guard is a cushy posting. Everyone in the Guard knows this is a lie; Coruscant has its own dangers. Most of these, Fox can’t do anything about. He sets up procedures and precautions and specialised training, but the risks are all part and parcel of the job. Not quite what they were trained for, but close enough.

Requests for decommissioning are a different matter. They can come at any time for any reason, lives resting on the whim of Senators who see them as less than droids. There is nothing Fox can do to prevent the properly filed requests (and only the properly filed ones, the others he has an excuse to ignore)… but he does have discretion over how the request is carried out. It’s not even that hard; all it takes is shuffling paperwork.

The Senators who give the order are hardly going to take the time to personally ensure the relevant clone gets on the shuttle back to Kamino, or do more than a cursory follow-up. So he marks the clone as decommissioned on the official roster, assigns them different duties, and the Guard continues on with one more member than officially registered (two more, twenty more, fifty more) with the natborns none the wiser. Some weeks, it honestly feels like those extra bodies are the only reason they are even vaguely able to keep up with the workload anyway.

Of course, there is a downside to this scheme. Supplies – food, equipment, medicine, space – are allocated according to the official garrison size. And because the Senate is cheap, the Guard are allocated the bare minimum they can get away with supplying. They don’t begrudge sharing their bunks and their meals with their rescued brothers, but the shortages are just one more thing wearing them down.

The solution, of course, is to juggle the paperwork back the other way. Decomissioning is hardly the only – or even the most common – way for Guards to die. It should be easy enough to just not record a trooper’s death, allow a ‘decommissioned’ brother to take their place on the active roster.

The only problem is where to change these records. Fox refuses to allow them to change mission reports, particularly with alterations of this magnitude. You never know when a case might become relevant again, or who was watching and what they noticed. Fox has fought hard for the minimal protections that come with running perfectly according to procedure; as soon as the Guard are caught using a loophole, a dozen others will leap to exploit it.

So that means the lie needs to come from within the barracks, the medbay. A critically injured trooper entering, and a healed one walking away.

Their medical casualty rates decrease.

Clearly their problems aren’t so bad. Clearly the needs of the frontline troops are more urgent.

Their medical supply allocation is cut.

More brothers die.

But at least they had a chance.

Dark Clone Wars/Invictus AU Headcanon

Within the Invictus AU I headcanon that initially the Kaminoans would decommission clones for anything that might rupture their carefully laid out conditioning and brainwashing. But after Geonosis, despite the victory, the numbers didn't add up. The Kaminoans were not going to be able to meet demand for more bodies if they kept getting rid of every little flaw that might compromise Sidious' plan (and yes, I headcanon the Kaminoans were in on it, they had to be, in order to make the chips in the first place). So as the war went on, they decommissioned less and less clones until Fox exposes the practice and it's outlawed.

The med stations were set up, not to keep clones alive, because there's room and staffing on a Venator for that, but as pure propaganda. All the older clones know, you don't want to be shipped to a med station. You only end up on a med station if you can't fight, and if you can't fight, they're going to decommission you. Eventually.

The clone medics who work on these med stations are not privy to Kaminoan decisions, but they are well aware of clones who were fine yesterday are not in their bunks today.

Regulatory Compliance in System Decommissioning

Introduction: System decommissioning is a critical process that requires organizations to retire outdated or redundant systems. However, in addition to managing the technical aspects of decommissioning, organizations must also navigate the complex landscape of regulatory compliance. Compliance with industry regulations and data protection laws is crucial to ensure the security and integrity of sensitive information during the decommissioning process. This blog explores the importance of regulatory compliance in system decommissioning and provides insights on how organizations can effectively manage this aspect of the transition while maintaining data privacy and security.

Understanding Regulatory Compliance in System Decommissioning: Regulatory compliance refers to the adherence to specific laws, regulations, and guidelines set by governing bodies. In the context of system decommissioning, compliance ensures that organizations handle sensitive data appropriately and mitigate any potential risks:

a. Data Privacy Laws: Organizations must comply with data privacy laws such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), or industry-specific regulations. These regulations impose requirements for the secure handling, storage, and deletion of personal data during system decommissioning.

b. Data Retention Requirements: Certain industries have specific legal requirements for data retention, and organizations must comply with these regulations during the decommissioning process. It is essential to identify and preserve data that must be retained for legal or compliance purposes.

c. Industry-Specific Regulations: Organizations operating in regulated industries, such as healthcare or finance, must comply with industry-specific regulations. These regulations often impose stringent requirements for data security, privacy, and recordkeeping, which must be considered during system decommissioning.

Key Considerations for Regulatory Compliance in System Decommissioning: To ensure regulatory compliance during system decommissioning, organizations should consider the following key aspects:

a. Data Inventory and Classification: Conduct a thorough inventory of data within the systems targeted for decommissioning. Classify the data based on its sensitivity, legal requirements, and retention obligations. This classification helps organizations understand the regulatory implications and develop appropriate strategies for data handling and disposal.

b. Secure Data Destruction: Implement secure data destruction methods to ensure that sensitive information is irretrievable after system decommissioning. This may include physical destruction, secure wiping, or using data erasure software. Document and maintain records of the data destruction process for compliance purposes.

c. Data Transfer and Storage: If data needs to be transferred or stored during the decommissioning process, organizations must ensure that appropriate security measures are in place. This may include encryption, access controls, and secure transmission protocols to safeguard data integrity and confidentiality.

d. Audit Trails and Documentation: Maintain comprehensive audit trails and documentation throughout the decommissioning process. This includes documenting data disposal methods, data transfers, and any actions taken to ensure compliance. These records serve as evidence of compliance and can be invaluable during audits or regulatory inspections.

Collaboration with Legal and Compliance Teams: To effectively manage regulatory compliance in system decommissioning, organizations must collaborate closely with their legal and compliance teams:

a. Legal Expertise: Seek guidance from legal experts who specialize in data protection, privacy laws, and industry-specific regulations. These professionals can provide insights into compliance requirements, help interpret complex regulations, and ensure that the decommissioning process aligns with legal obligations.

b. Compliance Assessments: Conduct compliance assessments to identify any potential gaps or risks related to system decommissioning. These assessments should evaluate the organization’s current practices, policies, and procedures against relevant regulations, helping to identify areas that require attention or improvement.

c. Regular Training and Awareness: Provide regular training and awareness programs to employees involved in the system decommissioning process. This ensures that they are familiar with compliance requirements, understand their responsibilities, and follow best practices to maintain regulatory compliance.

Conclusion: Regulatory compliance is a crucial aspect of system decommissioning, ensuring the security and integrity of sensitive data throughout the transition process. By understanding and adhering to data privacy laws, data retention requirements, and industry-specific regulations, organizations can mitigate risks, maintain data privacy, and protect against potential legal consequences. Conducting a thorough data inventory, implementing secure data destruction methods, collaborating with legal and compliance teams, and maintaining comprehensive documentation are key steps towards achieving regulatory compliance in system decommissioning. Embrace regulatory compliance as an integral part of the process, and navigate the path to a secure and compliant transition.

How To Decommission A Data Center

Take it from us when we say that decommissioning a data center is no easy task. During a decommissioning project, office furniture, generators, hard drives, server racks, and other gear are removed from their existing place and either relocated to other premises or properly disposed of. This expert solution is typically required by businesses facing data center closure, shutdown, or relocation.

This information is intended to assist businesses in need of data center decommissioning services in better understanding the process, as well as to advise you if you attempt to accomplish this process on your own with least disruption to your operations.

Fukushima: A terrifying glimpse into a disaster

We were gifted a random Wednesday off by Temple, and because of this, a few spring activity trips were planned for that day. And what more relaxing and fun way to spend a day off than trucking 3.5 hours away on a bus to see the disaster zone of the 2011 earthquake, Tsunami, and Nuclear Meltdown in Fukushima?

Sarcasm, naturally.

While it may not have been a particularly 'fun' trip, I did find my time in Fukushima to be very educational and enlightening.

I should start out by saying that the tours of the nuclear meltdown zone are given by none other than the company TEPCO, the owners of the nuclear power plant that melted down. The tours are meant to serve as a massive PR campaign, as (somewhat rightfully), the people of the area and generally around the world are very angry at TEPCO for the meltdown. While, yes, no one could have planned for an earthquake and tsunami to occur in a matter of an hour, there were several oversights done by TEPCO that resulted in the subsequent meltdown. The most obvious being this: The backup generators that were set to run in case of a power outage were placed just 80 meters from the ocean. Not only that but these generators were not protected by anything waterproof! This feels like a major oversight for a country that has historically been hit pretty hard by earthquakes and tsunamis.

Because of the Earthquake, the power sources for the 4 central units of the nuclear power station were lost. Luckily, that's what the backup generators were there for. However, not long after, the tsunami also knocked out the backup generators, and power was lost to Units 1, 2, and 3. Unit 4 also lost power but continued to have water pumped through, but this would soon be lost as well. The loss of the constant flow of water quickly proved detrimental. Despite efforts by local firemen, the core reactors began to melt down as heat increased exponentially from the nuclear reactions. This intense heat created steam, filling the air with hydrogen, and causing the eventual explosions that destroyed the plant. This is a simplification of the events that occurred, I highly recommend reading up on it on a better more knowledgeable platform than me.

What I mainly want to speak about is the experience of my tour through the TEPCO Dai-Ichii Nuclear Power Station.

We took a charter bus full of eager students to get to Fukushima. We were led by two professors with a long history of studying the nuclear disaster (one from a political point of view and one from a more scientific point of view.) As we approached the plant, signs along the highway began to pop up that read out the radiation level in mSv. The towns we passed through became more, and more, and more empty. It was pretty eery when we finally arrived at the TEPCO decommissioning archive center. This building was in a town of nearly 20,000 before the disaster. Now? Just 800.

Before going to the plant, we first walked around the Decommissioning Archive. It was here, in detail, that TEPCO explained their actions and ongoing plans for helping remove radiation and clean up after the meltdown. There are 4 phases to their plan of decommissioning:

0. Achievement of cold shutdown state. This will result in a significant impression of emissions. This was achieved in December of 2011.

Phase 1: Begin the removal of fuel debris. This was successfully completed in Unit 4 in 2013. Unit 3 has also successfully had all fuel removed. Units 1 and 2 still have fuel inside, and they are currently working to have significant rubble removal, including the installation of fuel removal equipment to eventually remove the fuel and store / transport it.

Phase 2: This is where the removal of fuel debris is set to begin. This is the current phase of the decommissioning being faced by TEPCO. Unit 1 still can not be touched by even robots due to the massive heat release from the fuel meltdown, but units 2 and 3 have begun to show progress with robots being able to touch and maneuver the fuel debris. Still, they expect that this process will not really be able to begin for another 10 years

Phase 3: Period to end of decommissioning. This includes treatment, disposal, and dismantling. This likely won't occur for another 30 to 40 years.

The main thing we learned from our time in the decommissioning center is this: Fixing this mess will take a very, very, very long time.

TEPCO can and is doing everything it can to keep the reactors cold. This involves pumping a TON of salt water through the reactors day in and day out. Because of this, the plant has accumulated hundreds if not thousands of massive water tanks filled with contaminated water. TEPCO has installed ALPS, an Advanced Liquid Processing System, to deal with this growing huge amount of irradiated water. Through ALPS, several of the radionuclides present in the water are removed, except for Tritium. Because of Tritium, even the treated water must still be safely stored away. There is no accessible and available technology for removing Tritium from the contaminated water.

With thousands of tons of water being pumped through the reactor cores every day, TEPCO now had another issue; Where the hell were they going to store all this contaminated water? They are running out of space on the plant's grounds for the water tanks to hold the contaminated water, and the areas around the plant have no intention of taking on any of the water on their land. They had lost enough to the meltdown as is, and now they are being asked to give more space for irradiated water? No way. So, a difficult and admittedly horrible decision was reached by TEPCO and the Japanese government:

They are going to release the ALPS-treated water, starting in the Spring of 2023, into the ocean. Sounds great, right? They are only releasing the water 1 meter from the land as well! Their argument is that, if mixed with enough clean seawater, there is no way to detect the Tritium still present in the water and there should be no issue with releasing it back into the ocean. Take that as you will.

Now, at last, let's get to go to the plant.

Naturally, we were not allowed to bring our phones with us to the plant. Whether this was for security, or genuinely for the safety of our devices against the radiation, I could not tell you. The Dai-Ichii power plant was about a 20-minute bus ride from the decommissioning center, and we were taken there on special buses equipped with technology that read out the radiation levels present within the bus at any given moment. Once at the plant, we went through some pretty hardcore security, including a metal detector and a large sense of sorts that read our day passes once they were confirmed by our IDs. Once cleared to enter, we were given gloves and a vest with 4 pockets; two on the chest and two on the abdomen. We were then given Dosimeters, which would play out loud an alarm if the level of radiation we were being exposed to get too high. We were told to expect them to go off, but that by the end we won't have received more than 0.2 mSv of radiation, which is about equivalent to dental X-Rays. For the women in the group, we had to wear our dosimeters on our abdomen, while men wore them over their chests. Well, in their eyes, women had to protect their ovaries and men had to protect their hearts. I held my tongue but oh boy did this piss me off.

Now we boarded back on the bus to begin our tour. We were taken on a road around the plant, passing by major attractions before actually stepping out anywhere. We saw the many massive water tanks, the ALPS building, as well as remnants from the massive concrete pumps used to get water into the reactors soon after the meltdown occurred. As we drove around, it was noted by all of us that there was not a spot of open land. For protection of the land, and for avoiding the massive accumulation of contaminated groundwater, the land around the plant had been completely paved over so no water could seep underground. To prevent even more ground water, a massive ice wall was installed in the ground around the plant to prevent any water from enetering from the sides, not just from the top. Further still, apparenly this area used to be lined with hundreds of Cherry Blossom trees to brighten up the plant. These were, of course, all gone. Now standing in their place were tall, imposing water tanks full of dangerously contaminated irradiated water.

The main attraction was, of course, the observation deck where visitors could view Units 1 through 4 at an almost alarmingly close distance. Unit 4 was nearly completely reconstructed, and Unit 3 was not far behind. Unit 2 still had quite a bit of work to go, but Unit 1...Unit 1 was the showstopper. This building was exactly as it was the day of the meltdown because simply there is nothing anyone or anything can do about it currently, it is too hot and radioactive. It was mind-boggling to stand just 50 or so meters away from Unit 1, where robots meltdown if they get too close. From behind the Units, we could see the sea wall that is currently being constructed to prevent a tsunami from wrecking the area once again. The original tsunami measured at 15 meters, so naturally, this sea wall was not 15 meters. The radiation meter by the observation deck was reading out at a whopping 75 mSv, which was an insane amount to just casually be hanging out in. We stood here for as long as our Dosimeters would permit, but after not too long, our dosimeters began to scream at us to Get The Heck out of there. We complied, but the scene of the 4 destroyed units will not leave my mind anytime soon. One of the buildings close to the units had all of its windows blown inside, and you could see inside that the explosions had really done a number on what must have originally been an office building of sorts. Seeing these relicts of the past so insanely destroyed, it sticks with you.

We boarded back onto the bus will a new sense of the severity surrounding us, and finished our tour. We stopped by Units 5 and 6, which were unaffected by the earthquake and tsunami but, of course, are now shut down. Passed the untouched units, we could see out into the ocean, where marked by 4 unimpressive brown poles, the area of the water dump is set to take place within the next few months. It made all of us uncomfortable how we all felt we could easily swim out and back from that point if we so desired, and this was there they were going to be releasing Tritium contaminated water.

Speaking of, once the tour was complete, we were brought into the main visitor building and allowed to handle a bottle of the ALPS treated water. It looked no different than a normal bottle of water, other than the fact that the lid was wrapped up in a ton of tape to prevent any sort of leakage or spilling. It felt a little odd to be holding it, but since we have every intention to release it into the ocean, it felt wrong to not hold it at least once.

After just a short hour, the tour of the plant was over. We were scanned thoroughly again, to make sure no radiation contamination remained on our bodies and clothes. We also had to step on a sticky mat, which removed any debris from the bottom of our shoes. Our Dosimeter levels were read out to us (0.2, as promised), and we were sent back to the decommissioning center. It was not said out loud, but anyone could tell that this tour had deeply unsettled us, leaving us with a new sense of the calamity that had occurred.

While it was pretty obvious throughout the tour that TEPCO was trying their best to clean up their public image, I still felt the whole tour was extremely informative and properly distressing. If given the chance, I think anyone would do well with experiencing this tour. If nothing else, than to put into perspective just how insanely powerful nuclear energy is, and how terribly things can go wrong in the blink of an eye.

Monty didn’t attack Bonnie. Freddy did.

This post is not a joke: Ruin gives us enough clues to know that Bonnie was attacked by Freddy the day he disappeared, and Monty saw the attack.

Word count: 2457 words.

Yup, I wrote an entire essay with pictures to take the blame from a fictional gator that became my comfort character. If someone from Steel Wool is reading this: Yes, I’m ok, thanks for asking. If you want to send a cute Monty picture to my inbox, it is open and I’ll be all over the place if you do it.

Now, let me take you with me on this wild ride, because this theory fits the narrative of both Security Breach and Ruin so well that I have to clap at Steel Wool if it is actually correct and not me playing with the puzzle pieces incorrectly. So, here we go!

Bonnie, judging by the golden eyes and his travel pattern, was protecting someone like Freddy did with Gregory. Important damage was directed to the stomach hatch, where a kid could hide.

He has claw marks there, but Monty didn’t got his until the first was decommissioned and was then modified to play his bass.

The scratches in his hatch are green, but also the cracks over it. It looks like it is his base color instead of paint left by the attacker. The next video is from FazFriends, where they look at every single detail in the Ruin animatronic models. Their analysis are totally worth your attention if you like SB!

Monty has black nails, even before he was modified to play Bonnie’s bass. They also are kinda blunt, and the marks the attacker left seem more clean and sharp in the ends.

Now, there aren’t lots of animatronics that have claws. We have Roxy (and I’m guessing Foxy, if he ever existed as an animatronic different to her), The mimic/Burntrap, who doesn’t really seem an option because he’s slow and in life support in SB and sealed in Ruin, and… there’s Freddy. But, and here’s the twist, not normal Freddy, who couldn’t get through gates like Monty until he got his claws.

I’m talking about this thing.

Not only do we have environmental clues that confirm this attack, but also a key clue that wouldn’t make any sense otherwise.

Let’s start with the Prototype itself!

Check those claws. They are sturdy enough to survive all the damage this model has received, and extremely sharp at the end. Now compare Bonnie and its hand together…

It’s a perfect fit. The metal is a bit bent in the left, but if you could lower it, the finger length, the palm, even the distance and shape between the thumb and index are the same than the hole in Bonnie’s chest.

If that detail is true, all pieces of the narrative fit together. Here’s what happened, which I will explain further adding sources:

Monty saw Freddy’s prototype attacking Bonnie (who was in safe mode) in Gator Golf’s catwalks. The hurricane hole-in-one was activated, causing them both to fall. He could see the prototype losing its head and taking damage to its leg, but Bonnie was nowhere: he was either able to go back to Bonnie Bowl by himself using the distraction or the fall knocked him out and was dragged there, where he was heavily damaged.

This next part is not so clear, so I’ll give you my version of what I think happened that night: Bonnie alerted police that a kid was in danger. They show up, but Vanessa sent them away, claiming she was the only person there and it was a prank call (False Alarm message in SB). Vanny uses Bonnie’s trust on Freddy against him: she sends the prototype to go after the kid and him. He makes it to Monty’s, where the hurricane causes damage to the prototype, and is then finally attacked and disassembled behind his attraction to silence him and bury any clue or what happened (his parts are all over the place, one of his arms has weel marks, and Ruin follows the PQ ending where Freddy is disassembled. In SB, endos come out from the lines to attack us, and in Ruin we see the zone where his vanity is infested with STAFF robots, both in its normal version and in VR, where a giant STAFF robot is seen being dragged to a door while it leaves scratch marks on the floor).

Fazbear Entertainment pretended they actually looked for Bonnie and found nothing at all. As a final punishment for his disobedience he was actively being erased from existence: most of his art was removed, and some ask for a re-theme of his attraction (Re-theme SB message). They make Monty the main bassist, giving him his green room too.

These changes are being quickly pushed after his decommission: Bonnie still has power when we find him, Monty falls from the catwalks “a month ago” and snaps in half, a place where he goes every time he skips a performance (Monty Mischief SB message), people constantly ask for Bonnie and there isn’t an approved answer to give, the bowling alley still wasn’t given a re-theme after taking out most of Bonnie’s images.

Despite FazEnt efforts, Bonnie is remembered, specially by a depressed Monty.

His body was modified, he was given his bass, his glasses, his room, his role. The higher ups clapped thinking about the possibility of him being even more popular than Bonnie, his disappearance becoming yet another opportunity to make money.

And it was Freddy’s prototype’s fault. His normal life, the person he admired the most, his own body, were taken from him because of him.

From that day, and after getting new claws, his attitude becomes obsessive, endlessly searching for what was left of Bonnie after the rest gave up: destroying fences to explore the undergrounds, constantly missing shows and always being found in the catwalks, even after being snapped in half by the hole-in-one bucket, trying to guess where his body was. His last known location was his attraction, so he should still be there somewhere, isn’t it?

Let me repeat this: he prefers looking for Bonnie in the catwalks even at risk of his own integrity than performing.

There are more details that show us he does care for him: there are four official images left of Glamrock Bonnie in the PizzaPlex, three of them in Monty’s ride, the last one at the entrance of his own attraction, where some animations can still be seen. These cutouts are in perfect shape, while Freddy’s is light off.

There is also a headless Freddy statue that once you go to FazerBlast screams “prototype”.

It looks like it’s been decapitated by a hurricane, some “cables” coming out of its head like the prototype, which has cables coming out of its neck.

This damage couldn’t have been caused by the earthquake: the head should had fallen to the ground instead of being pinned on the hurricane. Plus, it doesn’t match the theme of the ride, based on cutouts, and while the rest of the elements are placed in scenarios and their composition is clearly studied, this statue breaks the symmetry of the hurricane’s eye element, that is supposed to give you the illusion that you are entering its eye and being pushed out to the main attraction.

What’s more, in a story exclusively about Monty’s past and how he became a solo bassist in the PizzaPlex thanks to Bonnie, attracting the same amount of people than the Glamrocks themselves, a Freddy statue at the end doesn’t make any sense sense at all… Unless it was put there with a very particular purpose.

I like to think it’s part of an environmental story telling from Steel Wool, specially when you read the rest of clues together.

There’s more to say about this statue than the lack of a head: look at its leg damage, and how it matches the prototype’s heavily damaged one, and how the hand that is visible reflects the light making it look like it has long claws despite Freddy having short ones like the rest of the band.

It also has two blue long lines through his chest that resemble the ones in Bonnie’s.

If you still have doubt about how it is part of a scene representing the night of the attack, then you should know there is an easter egg here: if you follow the part of the tornado that goes up, you can see a Bonnie cutout at the very top of it. He’s far away from the rest of the scene and he looks like if he was being knocked by the tornado. If you zoom to look at his face, you can see he has a worried expression.

Monty didn’t destroy any of the images of Bonnie or his previous iterations, not the cutouts, not this poster, not the bass that belonged to him, even after causing damage to his room.

There is a detail in Gator Golf that is easy to miss: An intact poster of the original Bonnie near a log he uses as a hideout in Ruin (we see him quickly going out of it when we approach it).

He looks similar to the illustration at the entrance of Bonnie Bowl, but this image is not very charming. He looks half dead, yeah...? If you then go to Bonnie’s, some big screens are still on and advertising pizza. When you wear the mask, they change to a glitched version of the Bonnie animation, where his eyes go blank in a similar way to this poster.

This spot couldn’t have been used by Vanny: it is decorated exactly like the rest of Gator Golf in the base game, which ends with us saving Vanessa and exiting the PizzaPlex together.

The poster also has a drawing of Freddy stuck on it. In this chapter you can also find the Bonnie’s piñata collectible, the first time we can see his Glamrock design and the first clue of him having suffered an attack (it has a big gash in his chest).

He could have easily taken it down if he wanted, specially when it is so close to his hideout and he’s in such a volatile state, but he keeps it right beside it.

But the real Freddy (or, at least, things that resemble him) seems to cause some kind of reaction even in the base game, yes?

The most common example in Security Breach is the arcade version of Monty’s Gator Golf. There are two possible readings for it, depending on if you think it represents Monty’s mind or if you think it has been hacked to change his behavior.

Hole 1 depicts Freddy separated from the group, a big distance between them. Hole 9 shows him in a dumpster, and Chica, Roxy and Monty playing together. He’s never part of the group, so either Monty hates him or he was hacked so he would hate him, right?

But the main show were he looks happily at him while playing, the fact that he never attacks him even after being hacked, the presence of images of him on other holes all perfectly light and ok like this balloon, and the eye color difference between Hole 1 and 9, make me think Steel Wool is trying to tell us a way different story.

The Freddy in the dumpster is the only one with golden eyes. Hole 9 represents what is happening the night we play as Gregory, the AR part of the AR-cade, and of the main reasons the Monty taking down theory was so popular.

That night, Roxy, Chica and him are working on finding the kid to the point that their cases crack and get dirty, while Freddy not only glitched at the start of the show hours before, but is now also walking around the PizzaPlex doing NOTHING instead of helping (apparently).

It’s the animatronic equivalent of a group project were one of the members does nothing, so you have to do their part and then they show up and are praised. It makes sense he would be angry at the situation and think he’s trash, but even so, there are no real confrontations between them.

But what about Hole 1, then? The answer is the fireflies. There are some fireflies at the left part, but the right, where Freddy is looking, has other set of lights. If you calculate the distance from Chica to him, the center is almost where the hole is, the part of the arcade that is supposed to drag your attention. Having an empty space there feels uncomfortable and a very questionable decision from whomever designed the scene, but if this one is a reflection from reality or Monty’s current mind state, why aren’t Freddy’s eyes gold?

Well, I don’t think he is separated from his band.

I think someone is missing from the picture instead.

Bonnie was erased from the Arcade.

As it was said, these changes were quick and non-planned: they deleted his model from the arcade, but had no time to move and reprogram the positions of the rest of the characters so the space between them was filled. As a consequence, when you play this level, your attention is taken from the hole to the distance between them.

It is void, awkward, it makes you uncomfortable. You know something is missing, but you can’t quite tell what it is yet. It makes you wish there was one more character there even before you knew there actually was.

Once you learn what happened, how his story ties to the place this scenario represents, the void he left in Freddy and Monty specifically, Hole 1 gains a new meaning, and it hits you. When you go back to the PizzaPlex as Cassie and play the arcade, there’s no joy left there. No fireflies, no Glamrocks, just ruins. Two pairs of red eyes and a pile of Nightmare STAFF bots. That’s all that’s left.

But if you still need one more clue to convince you that the prototype was the one that attacked Bonnie, then let me tell you there is a final one that wouldn’t make sense otherwise:

The AR collectibles dialogue.

Cassie always makes a commentary about the things she finds: Monty’s AR plushie being very glitchy, how she wants to add Roxy’s one to her collection, how the her father wouldn’t tell her why they replaced Bonnie and how he was his dad’s favorite…

But she also asks him what happened to him, and gets an answer when she gets the last collectible.

The AR Golden Bonnie is hidden in Bonnie Bowl, next to a Wet Floor Sign bot.

She hasn’t been to Fazer Blast yet.

But the description answers the question that she asked him: a prototype.

Bonnie was decommissioned by Freddy’s prototype.

And the only ones that know are a kid lead to her death that can hear his agony through the Wet Floor Bots and unreal collectibles, and an animatronic blamed for his death and told he’ll never be him, obsessed with his loss and with finding whatever is left of the person that he admired the most and helped him become the star he once was.
