## Plot

### *Submechanophobia*

Caden works at Freddy's Fantasy Water Park as a mechanic and tank cleaner. Owned by Martin Copper, the park was recently opened after Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex opened two towns over, revitalizing the brand. Caden needed the job to pay the bills for grandma, who now lived in a nursing home and had severe Alzheimer's. She had raised Caden all by herself after his parents were lost at sea. He had never really known what had happened to his parents, with his brain making up the belief that underwater mechanics were involved. That combined with an incident during a second-grade field trip, Caden had developed submechanophobia at a young age.

The main attraction of Freddy's Fantasy Water Park was Freddy's Sea Life Mechaquarium, where ocean themed animatronics swam. One of them, Delilah the mermaid, had malfunctioned and sank to the bottom. In spite of his fears, Caden had to fix the animatronic. After one failed attempt, Caden tries again, doing his best to avoid the other deactivated animatronics. After some struggling, Caden succeeds and gets Delilah back in working order.

The next day, one of the sharks (named Hank) malfunctioned, after a brief run in with Darryl, one of his old bullies in school after the field trip incident, Caden made his way to the mechaquarium and dived in again. With Hank on his back, Caden would have to swim under him to fix him. Caden fixed up his wiring, pressed his reset button, and began swimming to the surface, only to be stopped by Zeus the sea dragon. Caden had turned the power off, so he was interrupted when fixing Hank, yet Zeus was still moving. The dragon abruptly stopped as its mouth closed in on Caden.

Caden focused on fixing things to not think about his fear, noticing that some of Zeus' wiring was dirty. He reminded himself that he was dealing with animatronics who were pre-programmed. He reached out and pulled out something from Zeus' teeth. At first, he thought it was a wire, but instead, it was a kid's shoe.

Caden dreams about the field trip incident. He and his class went to an amusement park that had a "submarine" ride, which was just riding a boat and seeing fish in a pond through glass. A giant whale animatronic came towards his boat. Caden panicked and accidentally pressed the alarm on his boat. When he finally calmed down, Darryl noticed that Caden peed his pants. Everyone laughed at him and would go on to bully him for it for years. Caden woke up in the middle of the night. He went to get some water and noticed the shoe he had pulled out from Zeus' mouth.

The next morning, Caden decides to talk to Roy about it, since he had gone to Freddy's Fantasy Water Park as a kid. Roy doesn't know anything, being shocked when Caden tells him about the shoe. Martin also finds out about the shoe later in the day, yelling at Caden for not telling him about it. Caden then asks about the animatronics moving even when the power was off, but Martin denies it.

Caden goes back to work, noticing that Polo was missing and diving into the mechaquarium to find him. As Caden began fixing Polo's systems, all the animatronics started to stare at him, Frank the diver in particular. Polo jerked to life and convulsed, breaking a piece of scenery. It was a rock, but it seemed odd-looking to Caden. He noticed that his air supply was running out and swam back up to the surface.

Caden visits his grandma in the nursing home. He tells her about his job at the water park, but her short-term memory is failing her. Caden's grandma vaguely remembers something strange happening at the park before taking a nap. Caden leaves and inspects the "rock" he had picked up earlier, realizing that it was actually a finger bone. Later that night, Caden has a nightmare that the power went out at the water park. The only place that was lit was the mechaquarium. Both the kids and even Caden's co-workers climbed into the tank, being swallowed whole by all of the animatronics.

Caden awakens, getting a call from the nursing home about her grandma's overdue documentation. He heads to the nursing home to get it from her grandma's room. He notices old newspaper, with one of the headlines showing a boy named Jason Butterfield, who had gone missing twenty years ago. He had visited Freddy's Fantasy Water Park the day he disappeared and went missing later that night. His physical description stated that he wore white tennis shoes, which matched the shoe Caden had found.

Caden was at the water park's workshop, tinkering with a squid animatronic. Suddenly, the power went out and a shelf fell. Caden believed that someone had stolen something and was trying to stop him from finding out about what happened to Jason. Caden contemplated on just turning in the shoe and bone to the police, but worried that he would be fired if Martin found out. He needed the income to help his grandma. Caden decides to dive into the mechaquarium one last time to find one final piece of evidence and confirm it was Jason.

Caden dived in, all of the animatronics staring at him right away. He spotted another chunk of rock covered in algae and pulled it out. It was a human skull. Caden knew that this was Jason's skull and tries to go back up the surface to get it out of the tank, only for the tarp to close him off. Frank the diver began to chase him. He was the only animatronic moving, but Caden had noticed that his movements were more fluid and human-like than normal. The diver began to strangle Caden, who was looking inside the darkness of the diver's mask. Caden is able to both release himself and throw the helmet off, revealing Martin himself. Martin was Frank the Diver, and he had tried to kill him. Suddenly, Zeus and all the other animatronics began moving, despite the power going out. They held Martin down as he drowned to death.

One week passes, and the park is closed. Caden turns in the evidence to the police, and they scavenge the tank to find the rest of Jason's remains. Caden omits the animatronics attacking Martin in his report, simply saying that he drowned. Caden is considered a hero in their community. As Caden heads back to the park to receive his final paycheck, he finds out that the park will be reopening. Roy had purchased it, becoming the new owner and intending on making it the best park ever.

### *Animatronic Apocalypse*

Robbie is part of the Fazbear Fan Club, who plays a roleplaying game titled "Animatronic Apocalypse". It centers around the kids fighting the Glamrocks in a post-apocalyptic world. Outside of the club, he has a friend named Dyson who participates in sports. The two have barely had time to talk since they're busy with their opposing interests. Mr. Renner, the club's substitute chaperone and the school's principal, announces that the former club president Jason was moving away. Elections for the new club president would be held the following Thursday.

Johnny and Zabrina are the main two parties running. Zabrina uses the aspect of ramping up the roleplay to excite the audience. This strategy works, with Zabrina being elected the new president over the weekend. On Tuesday, Zabrina begins establishing new rules that Robbie grows suspicious of. Despite being an honor roll student, Zabrina decided to remove the thirty-minute time period at the beginning of club hours used for students to catch up on homework, opting to go straight into roleplaying. She also made everyone swear to secrecy, ensuring the members kept what happens at the club a secret from non-members. Robbie was worried for the sudden changes.

The next day, as Robbie and Dyson are walking to school, they notice the words "BEWARE THE ANIMATRONIC APOCALYPSE" sprayed onto the courtyard walls. Robbie confronts Zabrina about it, but she isn't interested in finding out who did it. Suddenly, Mr. Renner arrives, announcing a Faculty Preparedness Initiative. Mr. Renner wanted everyone to fund this initiative to help the Fazbear Fan Club and their Animatronic Apocalypse game, treating it as if it were real. Robbie believed that Mr. Renner was using the club to scam everyone and steal their money. Robbie tries telling his dad about it, but he waves it off as a part of his game.

Sometime later, Robbie is walking to bathroom when he notices Zabrina and Mr. Renner talking to each other in his office. He also noticed a man and a woman in fancy suits walking by, noticing they were the school superintendents after getting a glimpse of the man's name tag. Later that day, Robbie hears students chatter about Mr. Renner. He was resigning from the school. Robbie wonders if his dad had actually taken him seriously and called the school about his concerns. At the end of the school day, Robbie and Dyson start walking home when they noticed a bunch of club members walking together, despite club being closed that day.

Robbie goes off alone to investigate, discovering that the club members were meeting up with Mr. Renner. The group surrounded him, as he looked down to the ground. In a commanding tone, Mr. Renner told everyone to eat dirt, stating it would protect them from "animatronic toxins". Robbie watched in horror as the kids obeyed. Robbie told Dyson everything over the phone. After the weekend, Robbie confronts Johnny on Monday. He notices red on the tips of his fingers. Johnny reveals that Mr. Renner told them to poke needles into their fingernails to protect them from the animatronics.

The incidents worsen when the club members start eating beetles from tin boxes. Some of the classmates try forcing Robbie into eating one as well, but he is able to evade them. Robbie overhears Zabrina and Daniel talking, scheduling another meeting at the park. He tries confronting Zabrina, but she refuses to respond to him. Later that night, Robbie heads back to the park to try and find answers. All he could find was a lone lantern. As he moved closer, the light revealed the club members, buried in the ground with empty expressions on their faces.

Robbie desperately digs everyone back up, hoping that they weren't dead. Robbie starts doing CPR on one of the members Nathan, and he splutters awake. Nathan looks around and is just as horrified as Robbie. Together, the two-start pulling the members out of the dirt. Zabrina suddenly lifts herself out, telling Robbie to leave. Robbie and Nathan ran away, hoping that Mr. Renner wasn't nearby with Robbie stating that they need to call the police as they ran off into the night. At the police station, the officer asks Nathan about being buried in the ground and who had buried him, but he doesn't remember anything, Robbie asking him and telling him to remember and to recall everything that happened, and Nathan is leaning his head into his hands, feeling defeated and brought up the animatronic apocalypse and the officer interrupted him, saying that he will send another police officer with them to check it out.

Ten minutes later, Robbie rode in the back of a police car with Nathan finally that Mr. Renner said the dirt had healing properties that purged the animatronic toxins from our bodies. So, the club buried themselves. The cop assume it was a prank, and he says he’ll let him off the hook this time. The next morning, Robbie woke up to his father waiting for his coffee while popping a Black beetle box and swallowed the beetle, him telling Dyson about everything that’s happens as they walk to school, and how horrified that whatever weird thing was happening to the school, to the police, was now happening to his dad too. When Robbie entered Mr. Renner's house, he went to the kitchen hall and find Mr. Renner was sitting at the end of a long dining table wearing a rubber Freddy Fazbear mask with all the club members sat at the table with him.

They surrounded Robbie, cornering him by the living room's fireplace. Robbie grabs the fire poker and instinctively stabs Mr. Ronner. Black liquids spill out of him, and the club members are reverted back to normal. They run out of the house in horror, but Robbie stays behind to try saving Mr. Renner, not wanting to live with the guilt of killing someone. Robbie goes back in, only to be grabbed by Mr. Renner. He stabs Mr. Renner in the eye out of retaliation. Robbie runs away as his body convulses and black liquid spews out of his body.

The next day, the police search Mr. Renner's house. While black liquid was found everywhere, Mr. Renner's body went missing. After taking a few weeks to mentally recover from the traumatizing events, Robbie returns to school. While Zabrina moved away, the rest of the club are safe and sound again. Dyson told his parents that he wasn't interested in sports, and they understood. He offered to join the club, and Robbie accepted. The Fazbear Fan Club perseveres, things finally going back to normal.

### *Bobbiedots Part 1*

Abe works at the Pizzaplex in the security office. His goal is to work his way up the ranks, becoming high enough to move into the Fazplex Tower. The tower was forty stories high, and the most elite employees could live in its high-tech apartments rent free. Abe needs to move in there, since he is homeless and sleeps in a cubbyhole in Roxy's Raceway. Abe's mom was in care at the nursing home after developing dementia, and his businessman dad had abandoned the family to pursue business opportunities. Abe had to fake his resume to get his job at the Pizzaplex, to ensure he could have funds to both take care of his mom and eventually find a place to live.

The next morning, Abe runs into Evan, one of his co-workers who just got back from his son's sports game. Evan talks about the holographic Bobbiedot assistants who taught his son some tricks and cheered him on. Two hours later, Abe is suddenly called to the administrator's office. Margaret, a new director of personnel, invites Abe in. She states that Abe's application for a promotion was accepted. As long as Abe completes the requisite class for the position in a month, he will be promoted. For the moment, Abe was viable to move into the Fazplex Tower.

Abe is named Team Two Leader and heads off to the tower to check into the apartment. Abe stumbles into a roadblock when the receptionist Jen says that no rooms are available, aside from one that says is off-limits. Having come too far to give up, Abe distracts Jen by saying there was a delivery of roses at the door and changes the room's status from off-limits to unavailable. Abe hits another snag, finding out someone named Landon Prout had lived in the apartment before him and his name was superglued into the system. Abe keeps Landon's name as he prints out an apartment access card. Abe acts like nothing happened when Jen returns, and leaves the tower, excited to see his new home the next day.

After his first day of his new job, Abe heads up to floor 22 of the tower and entered his apartment; Apartment 17. As Abe stepped in, a holographic girl Bobbiedot activated. Her name was Three and her job was to clean stock up on household items and monitor a person's health. Despite seeming fine, Abe noticed minor glitches in her programming, such as putting hot sauce in the bathroom to be used as mouth wash, and her holographic projection itself briefly glitching behind him.

The next day, Abe is assigned to help Preston, a new employee at the Pizzaplex. Abe shows Preston DJ Music Man as he sleeps in his booth. He shows off the tunnels DJ Music Man crawls through and the generators used to light the tunnels up. As Abe and Preston head to the staff bathroom near the back hallway, DJ Music Man suddenly bursts in and tries to grab them. While Preston is horrified, Abe waits casually. Once DJ Music Man leaves, Abe explains the experimental bouncer mode that was implemented into DJ Music Man that was removed, although some lines of code still remain.

Abe returns home to the apartment, meeting the other two Bobbiedots; One and Two. Three had blocked them out, hence why they didn't show the day before. Two was in charge of keeping schedules and information, while One was in charge of entertainment and media. Abe notices that Landon's old clothes were still in the closet and tries them on, astounding the girls. At dinner time, Abe cuts Three off when she's giving a health report, saddening her. Abe makes it up to her by giving the Bobbiedots more suitable human names. One is renamed to Gemini, Two is renamed to Olive and Three is renamed to Rose.

The next day, as Abe is heading to work, he notices an outline in the ceiling. When he asks the Bobbiedots what it is, they ignore his concerns. From closer inspection, Abe realized that it was a trapdoor. Gemini calms Abe's worries by saying it was for maintenance. As Abe headed back to the Pizzaplex, he could notice a sliver of darkness at the edge of the door. It wasn't fully closed. When he arrives at the Pizzaplex, Abe is tasked with doing repairs on Fazer Blast. Once completed, Abe decides to let loose and play a game of Fazer Blast, only to fall down a flight of stairs and sprain his ankle.

After Rose, Olive and Gemini tend to Abe's sprained ankle, he heads off to bed. In the middle of the night, Abe wakes up with a sense of dread. Abe commands for the lights to be turned on, and Rose obliges. Abe brushes his worry off and heads to the bathroom. But the worry resurfaces. While he knows the Bobbiedots were respecting his privacy, Abe still felt like he was being watched. It happened again the next night at the same time. He could hear the sound of something being dragged on carpet and the trapdoor being closed.

Abe tries to confront the source of the noise in the dark, realizing that it was starting to crawl up the wall. He asks the Bobbiedots to turn the lights on, only for there to be nothing on the wall. Rose asks if Abe wants a snack, and he obliges while also asking the girls to tell him what the trapdoor was for. Gemini reveals that the door belonged to the first generation of Bobbiedots. Olive explains that while they, the second generation, were holograms, the first generation were physical animatronics. The first gen Bobbiedots were tied up in cables on a grid in the ceiling's crawl space. These Bobbiedots were the ones making noise in Abe's apartment, still trying to fulfill their original commands. Abe asks why they haven't been removed, with Rose just saying they want to help out. Rose, Olive and Gemini feel bad for them, letting the Bobbiedots do what they can.

The following morning, the Bobbiedots' programs glitch starts to worsen and increase. The garbage disposal while Abe's hand is in it, nearly injuring him. The temperature of the tub rises when Abe is taking a bath. Abe confronts the girls about it. Rose says that the Gen 1 Bobbiedots are the cause, with their wiring getting tangled in the power systems and pipes causing them to malfunction. The Bobbiedots plan on setting security protocols to monitor the first gen bots. Abe leaves the girls to it, not wanting to feel unsafe in his apartment anymore.

Abe continues training Preston, this time teaching him how to fix the power generators in the Superstar Daycare. Abe explains that the generators were there because the main lights kept going out, so backup generators were installed as a cheap alternative to replacing the lights. The Daycare Attendant was originally a character in the Fazbear Theater, with Sun as the main character and Moon as his dark side. When Sun was reprogrammed to be the Daycare Attendant, the triggers that activated Moon couldn't be removed. Moon would come out when the lights went out, and Fazbear Entertainment decided it was easier to keep Moon around than spend time and resources fixing Sun. Once Abe is finished explaining his origin, Moon himself appears.

Moon calls Abe a naughty boy, reminding him of his misdeeds. He had been faking it until he made it for the longest time. Abe had been trying to convince himself he could handle the dangers the first gen Bobbiedots posed, but being boiled in the tub made him realize how much danger he was in. He would also go back to being homeless and having nothing if he gave up and moved out of the apartment. All he could do was survive, just like he always did. Abe snaps back to reality and shows Preston how to fix the generator. The lights turn back on, and Moon turns to Sun.

After a week without incident, Abe and the Bobbiedots decide to bake cookies on a rainy day. The burner activated on its own without anyone turning the knobs and Abe's long-sleeve hoodie caught fire. Rose, Olive and Gemini feel guilty for Abe's torment, with the Gen 1's using their displays to activate things against their will. They attempt to boost morale and hold on to hope, but Abe is slipping into despair. He lost track of time and didn't eat as much, fearing that his own apartment would kill him.

Two days later, when Abe gets home, he asks Olive to turn on the lights. She doesn't respond. Abe turns the lights on manually with the switch, only to be electrocuted and flung onto the sofa. The Gen 1 counterpart to Olive had hijacked control of the lights. Abe and the girls have a meeting over dinner, and Abe decides to finally meet the Gen 1 Bobbiedots directly. Gemini says that they're too damaged to see reason and are very inept. Olive theorizes that they may be attacking Abe because they're jealous of his human freedom. Rose believes the Gen 1's think that Abe is Landon. Abe eats a tuna sandwich as the girls discuss, only to feel sick to his stomach. His food was tainted.

Abe vomits into the toilet, still feeling sick. The Bobbiedots try their best to sooth him, but nothing helps. Abe starts to question if they're the ones tormenting him, and that the Gen 1's are just an excuse. He spends a week ignoring Rose, Olive and Gemini out of fear. Abe writes another e-mail to his mom, lying to her about his experiences. While he said that everything was fine, Abe was hopeless and alone. Abe closed his eyes, unaware that a cable was sliding past him and into the trapdoor. As Abe heard the trapdoor close, he looked at the Rose, Olive and Gemini's deactivated panels.

### *Epilogue*

Adrian cries, devastated at his girlfriend's death. Joel suddenly grabs onto Wade's arm and tells him to move. Joel desperately wants to leave, as he and Wade leave the others. Adrian noticed that Kelly looked alert, but usually placid. Lucia thought that she was disassociating from terror. The group suddenly heard a crunch close by and quickly ran after Joel and Wade.

Joel held Wade against the wall of the back hallway. The others catch up and the whole group tries thinking of what to do next. Jayce asked what they should do now, internally angering Joel since he didn't like him. Kelly speaks up, revealing that she and Lucia found an old radio they could use to contact the outside world for help. The group are surprised from Kelly's show of confidence rather than her usual quiet nature. Jayce is worried since the office was right next to Parts and Service. Joel suggests exploring the room at the end of the hall. Adrian shoots that idea down, since the room was just a systems room. Joel pushes further for everyone to go with his idea, but the arguing stops when they hear a thud from the dining room.

As the group run, Adrian, Jayce, Lucia and Kelly run to the employee's lounge / locker room. Wade follows but is forced away by Joel when he grabs his arm again. Joel heard heavy tapping coming from the hallway entrance. But, he persevered, sure that there would be some way out in the room at the end of the hall. The remaining four let Joel and Wade run off. The lights briefly turn off, the group remaining as still and silent as possible. When the lights turn back on, Kelly alerts everyone that she found the radio.

Wade protests Joel's decision to split up from the others. Joel hushes him as he barricades the door. The systems room doubled as the furnace room. It stood two stories tall. Joel inspects the furnace, discovering that one of the chutes led directly into the pizzeria's ventilation shafts. Wade joins him as he hears clanking from the hallways. As the two of them climbed up the chute, Wade found a panel. It was oxidized and could be removed with ease since the bolts were loose. Wade catches the panel before it hits the floor. Joel pushes through the opening and starts crawling through it. He sees sunlight past the whirring of the metal fan. They just needed to turn the fan off and they could escape.

Wade wants to tell the others, but Joel wants to leave immediately and get help for everyone else afterwards. He only reassured Wade that the others would be okay to make him feel better. In reality, he never liked any of them. He thought they were all pathetic, aside from Kelly due to her pretty looks. Joel thought he had a right to escape and survive. Despite Wade's protests, he ultimately caves from Joel's peer pressure. The two searches for a way to shut off the fan.

Meanwhile, Adrian keeps watch after hearing the animatronic go down the hall as Lucia and Kelly try to get the radio working. Adrian watched them work together and come up with ideas to fix the radio, appreciating that they were bonding despite the horrifying circumstances. Joel and Wade continue searching for the circuit to turn the fan off. Eventually, Joel comes up with an idea. He remembers how the animatronic had some form of control over electricity since it manipulated the lights. Joel suggests luring the animatronic near them so that it could turn off the power and the fan as a result, allowing them to escape. He wants Wade to be the bait. Joel encourages him by bringing up his football expertise as a quarterback and outmaneuvering people. Given how slow the animatronic was, Wade felt more confident that he could handle himself. He agrees to go through with the plan.

Lucia and Kelly weren't having any luck turning the radio on. They rewired it and reconfigured the frequency, but nothing worked. Kelly takes over while Lucia de-stresses. She wanted to console Adrian after Hope's death but couldn't come up with the words to say. Her thoughts turned to the animatronic itself, wondering how it could kill so brutally. She noticed Kelly chattering nervously. Kelly had felt inferior when she was around Hope. She felt like she never contributed much and was overshadowed. This made Lucia realize that she had felt guilt, not knowing why. But now she knew it was because she benefitted from Hope's death. Adrian was single, and open to find someone else. She didn't like that Hope was dead because it only benefitted her, and she despised that feeling.

Lucia decided to search through the office's folders for information. He found an old operator's manual that dated back decades, which described different designs for endoskeletons. She recognized that the endoskeleton that was chasing them was a "Mimic" model. The Mimic had retractable and expandable limbs, as well as a contracting torso that could fit any animatronic suit. The manual said that if someone were to ever encounter a Mimic endo, it should be disassembled after shutting off its power source. With process on the radio still going nowhere, Kelly decides to calm everyone down by asking them what their favorite color is and why. Jayce says yellow, Kelly says green, Adrian says blue, and Lucia blurts out purple, comparing it to a bruise.

Joel worried for Wade as he went off to find the Mimic. While he does regret instigating the group's arrival at the pizzeria, he blamed Wade for finding the vent shaft inside the pizzeria in the first place. Joel was in a "kill or be killed" mindset. Wade heads to the main room of the pizzeria, wanting lots of space to maneuver. Just as Wade passed the doors to the kitchen, the lights started to flicker. The Mimic made his way towards Wade as he went inside the kitchen. The lights go out fully. Wade accidentally drops some pizza, revealing his location. Wade books it out of the kitchen, grabbing some of the pans. As he runs, he tries throwing some of them at Mimic. It does not damage to it. Wade tries thinking of a way to flank him. As he runs, Wade bashes his knee into a locker, making it bleed. The Mimic eventually reaches him, grabbing onto his skin, but Wade is able to evade it.

The Mimic tries to grab Wade again but misses. The chase continues, with the Mimic making the lights flicker. He heads into the arcade and ducks under the pinball machines. He successfully sneaks past the Mimic and goes back to the dining room. Wade needed enough of a head start to reach the furnace's chute, and having an injured knee was hindering him. Wade had no other choice but to hide underneath the dismembered limbs of the workers. The Mimic walked onto the stage, scanning for Wade from a wide angle. Wade sees his opening and runs to the systems room.

Joel waited in the chute, hearing Wade coming in. The Mimic arrives, turning off all the power. As Joel prepares to climb through the fan, Wade gets caught by the Mimic and is murdered. He screams for Joel to help him as his limbs are torn apart. The Mimic left, carrying Wade's body parts with him. With the Mimic far away, the power came back on. Joel only got his head and neck up to the fan. Joel was cleaved in half as the fan turned back on.

## Trivia

* Submechanophobia is the fear of submerged human-made objects, either partially or entirely underwater. These objects could be shipwrecks, statues, animatronics as seen in theme parks, or old buildings, but also more mundane items such as buoys and miscellaneous debris.
* Some events in the story give new information regarding the Pizzaplex in *Security Breach*.
	+ The Daycare Attendant was originally an animatronic meant to perform in a theater. The Sun form was his main form, and the Moon form acted as his alter-ego for when the lights in the theater went out. When he was transferred to the Daycare, his programming couldn't be removed, so the cheapest solution was to always keep the lights on in the Daycare.
	+ The generators were placed inside the Daycare's play structures because after the daycare was built, the only place the generators could be hidden in was in the play structures.
	+ When DJ Music Man tries to grab Abe and Preston, Abe explains that it was part of an experimental bouncer mode that wasn't completely removed from its behavior. This is a reference to one of the messages found in the game explaining DJ Music Man's features, including its bouncer mode.
	+ Abe mentions that the music playing in the Fazer Blast Arena is "Fazer Blast Jam". In the soundtrack of *Security Breach*, the music that plays in Fazer Blast is also called "Fazer Blast Jam".
* The Bobbiedots Part 1 is the start to the first ever continuation story in the entire *Tales from the Pizzaplex* and *Fazbear Frights* series, being the first part of the third story from *Tales from the Pizzaplex: The Bobbiedots Conclusion*.
