Diagnostic Tool Guide

From: Fazbear Entertainment

To: me

Greetings <Player Name>!

By now, you might have noticed that your shocker has been replaced with an upgraded tool. Due to recent upgrades, some of your Eternal Package Animatronics have been improved in durability to help ensure that they m#ke it safely to your doorstep. Unfortunately, this increased du##bility has caused them to be harder to deactivate in the event of an entirely unlik#ly emer###cy.

To t#at end, we’ve taken the liberty of upgrading your sho##er device to the new Diagnostic and Repair Multitool 2.0.

What’s new:
- Durability - Animatronics now have incr##sed durability to ensure safe shipping to your locat####. In the event that a deactivation is necessary, your shocker can be used to deactivate the ani#atronic. However, you may be required to shock the #####tronic SEVERAL times, in o###r to lower the durability so that the sh####r can access the animatronic’s internals.

- Shocker boosting - To aid in over#####g the animatronic’s durability, you are now #### to increase your shocker’s electrical output. Tempo##ry Boosts and Permanent Upgrades are available.

- Shields - Bec###e the animatronic may take more attempts to deactivate, your multit##l is equipped with Shields to help protect you from the malfunctioning attacks. Each attack will weaken your shields, depending on the power level of the animatronic.

- Animatronic Power Level - The ani####onics need more power to support the updated chassis design, which will cause them to inflict more dam### on your shield in the event of an attack. This infor####on is available in the Scan screen of the animatronic.

- Loadouts - Your multitool is now able to carry activatable buffs to use while interacting w##h each animatronic.

Thank you for being a loyal #ember of the Fazbear Funtime Service! We're w###ing hard to deliver top notch s###ice and killer products for your 999 years ## eternal enjoy####! And remember, #### always ######## out for you! #### ###

Hey Nora,

Thank you for letting us know.

The testers are complaining about the aggressiveness, but I'll let them know to not worry about it.

You have any other questions, go send them to Tristan. I'm sure he'd love to hear from you.

Freddy might be getting especially hard into the spirit - but don't worry, he still wants to be your friend as much as ever.

Re: Circuit board changes?

From: Tristan (Compliance Team)

To: Charles (QA)

The documentation is accurate. The only adjustments are external alterations to the plush suit - R&D hasn't even touched the holiday release.

What do your people think, a computer controlled animatronic can somehow get into the holiday spirit and reprogram itself? It's just a machine controlled by a circuit board. It has to do what we tell it to and nothing more.

Tristan

Circuit board changes?

From: Charles (QA)

To: Tristan (Compliance Team)

Hey Tristan,

Sorry to bother you, but wanted to confirm that there were no changes on the circuit board side of things?

The documentation says it's just external changes to the plush suit, but some of the testers here are swearing the behavioral matrix is kinda, well, aggressive.

Troubleshooting Guide: Errata for the Mangle

From: Fazbear Entertainment

To: me

Dear <Player Name>,

As a callback to the classics, for a limited time only we are adding to the Eternal Package a recreation of the vintage "Mangle" animatronic!

Q: "The Mangle" is dropping pieces of itself onto the floor.
A: This is actually a feature! The classic Mangle animatronic from the original restaurants became popular as a "take-apart-and-put-back-together" attraction, and we've worked hard to bring that original experience back to you, our valued customers!

Q: Okay, I've picked up the pieces, but now the animatronic is making funny noises at me. What should I do?
A: In certain very rare instances, losing pieces has been known to destabilize the animatronic's socialization algorithms. If this happens to you, we recommend you collect the pieces as quickly as possible until the animatronic deactivates.

Q: Does "The Mangle" possess the same upgraded facial recognition software as the Toy-series of animatronics?
A: Yes! And we're so glad you noticed! In the extraordinarily unlikely instance of a fatal logic loop causing the animatronic to charge you, putting on the Freddy Fazbear Mask included with your Eternal Package Kit will cause the animatronic to abort any such anti-social behavior.

Q: “The Mangle” animatronic behaves erratically and shows subsequent aggressive - but perfectly harmless, tendencies.
A: If the upgraded facial recognition suite conflicts with our new upgraded software in this way without charging, customers should attempt to put on the new Freddy Fazbear Mask and, importantly, look away to reset the animatronic's logic algorithm.

Re: New Multarticulus Model Delays

From: Nora (R&D)

To: Tristan (Compliance Team)

First, tell the marketing people to go jump off a bridge. They just have to write some fancy copy while we're down here trying to make their crazy promises work in reality on unrealistic budgets and completely insane timelines. We're doing the best we can.

Second, there's a huge difference between a new model based on the same bipedal chassis and one based on a...whatever you want to call this thing. A quadreped? A spider? A tripod? The locomotion is completely different, which means the power needs are different, the hydraulic calibrations have to be completely redone, and the CPU has to be switched out for a newer one with a faster baud rate. And then on top of all that, we have to put together this "Controlled Disassembly" feature? The marketing people are crazy.

Third, GET OFF MY BACK!!! I warned management that reproducing the more exotic endoskeletons would be a problem, and they decided to go ahead and put them on the schedule anyways. They're just going to have to live with the limitations of, you know, basic physics.

New Multarticulus Model Delays

From: Tristan (Compliance Team)

To: Nora (R&D)

Nora,

I've been looking over those reports on the motility tests for the new model and I gotta say I'm a little disturbed by the lack of progress. The original was purportedly able to move along the ceiling, and from what I'm seeing here, we're having issues getting our rebuilds to even move on level ground properly.

What kind of shop are you guys running down there? The marketing guys are lighting fires under me to promise we'll hit the launch date for this, and what I'm seeing is not filling me with confidence.

Re: Couple of weird customer reports

From: Tristan (Compliance Team)

To: Isolde (Customer Compliance)

It's your call, of course, but my advice is to just ignore those reports.

Pretty obviously, it's just someone trying to troll us. All our animatronics have been rebuilt from the ground up - we're certainly not using any secondhand vintage garbage. Really, that stuff about our animatronics smelling bad should have tipped you off that you're being jerked around.

Couple of weird customer reports

From: Isolde (Customer Compliance)

To: Tristan (Compliance Team)

Hey Tristan,

We've been getting some weird reports here in Customer Service that I don't really know how to respond to.

A handful of our more hardcore users of the service have been reporting service calls from an animatronic that isn't appearing anywhere in our database. Some kind of vintage Bonnie model. A couple of people have mentioned a really bad smell from it as well.

Is it possible some old second hand model somehow made it into the deployment rotation?

Troubleshooting Guide: Toy Freddy

From: Fazbear Entertainment

To: me

Dear <Player Name>,

We hope you’re continuing to enjoy the exhilarating experience of our Eternal Package!

Q: “Toy” animatronic behaves erratically and shows subsequent aggressive - but perfectly harmless, tendencies.
A: Our brand new “Toy” animatronics have been given an upgraded facial recognition suite. Due to the rigorous new software, customers should attempt to use the new Freddy Fazbear Mask in the very rare case that the facial recognition software encounters a fatal logic loop.

A factory fault has been reported where Toy Freddy's Animstealth™ module sometimes conflicts with the animatronic's upgraded facial recognition software, causing significant handset battery drain when the animatronic detects a human nearby. We are currently working on a patch, but in the meantime, users can reduce the severity of this behavior by putting their Freddy Fazbear Mask on whenever an unexpected battery drain is observed.

Please note that this issue is in addition to the existing issue we are still working hard on where all Toy-series animatronics may occasionally move erratically and subsequently display visibly aggressive behavior. As with the Toy Chica model, temporarily placing the provided Freddy Fazbear Mask on your head and not looking away for the duration of the logic loop fault should resolve the situation in most instances.

Re: Not cool

From: Nora (R&D)

To: Charles (QA)

Fine. But I want it noted in writing what my department reported.

Toy Freddy is not safe to go out to the public. The interference happening with the upgraded facial recognition suite risks rendering all the safety functions on the users' handsets useless.

Nora

01/30/2020

Not cool

From: Charles (QA)

To: Nora (R&D)

Nora,

I heard about you trying to go over my head to my boss about the Toy Freddy issue. While I appreciate you are trying to do what you feel is your job, defining compliance and safety standards is my department, not yours.

Our product analysts have determined that the Toy Freddy issue is negligible. We'll just slap a note at the bottom of the outgoing customer outreach mails - it's not like any of the users even read those, and we'll be covered legally.

Tristan

P.S. Next time you feel like going over my head, come talk to me, or you'll force me to bring this up with Human Resources. Sorry to be the bad guy about this, but you're really not leaving me with any other choice.

A: Our brand new “Toy” animatronics have been given an upgraded facial recognition suite. Due to the rigorous new software, customers should attempt to use the new Freddy Fazbear Mask in the very rare case that the facial recognition software encounters a fatal logic loop.

A small number of users are reporting a minor bug unique to the new "Toy Bonnie" model animatronic where despite wearing the new Freddy Fazbear Mask the animatronic continues to be aggressive. Fortunately, this issue is easily circumvented by the simple expedient of watching for chromatic variation in the animatronic's eyes and then, with the mask still on, looking away.

Re: Still can't reproduce the issue

From: Nora (R&D)

To: Charles (QA)

It was only the once, and only one of the guys reported it. I've caught him sleeping on the job twice this week, too, so he's probably just imagining things.

Honestly, what's the worst that could happen?

Just note it in the log as "Cannot Reproduce" and move on to the rest, or we're never going to meet the new deadline.

We've tried everything we can think of here to reproduce the issue you were seeing with the new Toy model, but can't seem to get it to happen here.

Are you sure about the eyes changing color before the behavioral matrix went haywire?

That’s a no-go on an extension. You mentioned the other day in the sync meeting that your guys found a work-around, right?

Just go with that and hit the original dates.

Oh and I saw the earlier request, nothing I can say about them yet. (You know how it is…)

Might need more time

From: Nora (R&D)

To: Compliance Team

Okay, we got the new one up and running, like you guys wanted. Gotta say, though...the facial recognition upgrades aren’t taking the exact effect we expected. We’ve got our best looking at it, now.

I would suggest getting an extension, if possible. Would hate for these to go out before they’re ready.

Thanks, Nora

P.S. Still waiting to hear back about the other ones. Did anyone even see that request?
