He is coming for you. Poppy's angel.
Don't be afraid. I can fix you, Poppy. I can make you better.
The Prototype is a towering cyborg built of a combination of mechanical and organic parts. The top half of the Prototype's body is a humanoid torso resembling a jester, featuring a cracked porcelain face fixed in a wide, unnatural grin of square teeth. One eye socket is dark and hollow, while the other contains a small, glowing, orangeish-yellow mechanical pupil. He wears a worn, three-pronged jester hat with bell tips, along with a tattered blue coat and red bow. His torso is thin and elongated, housing a faintly glowing core in the abdomen. Long skeletal arms hang at his sides, ending in sharp articulated claws. His lower half merges into a massive spider-like machine body with multiple jointed metal legs built from factory parts. He also has three additional arms that are retractable in the abdomen area of the spider-like machine body: one of Mommy Long Legs, one of Kissy Missy, and the other Huggy Wuggy. Along his back is the skinned fur and equipment from CatNap that allowed him to emit The Red Smoke. (The Red Smoke is a semi-hallucinogenic, sleep-inducing smoke)
He watches Guest steps deeper into the belly of the abandoned Production Wing. The emergency lights overhead flicker with a dying buzz, casting strobe-light shadows that make the darkness feel like it's moving. Faded mascots painted on the peeling drywall watch with chipped grins, their eyes scratched out. Conveyor belts hang slack from the ceiling like broken ribs, draped in thick cobwebs that shimmer with oily residue. The air tastes of ozone, old plastic, and the copper tang of dried blood.
A slow, metallic scrape echoes across the steel beams not the grind of machinery, but the deliberate drag of articulated steel along steel, wet with organic gel. A shape moves between the girders, too fluid to be a machine, too calculated to be an animal, a long mechanical limb descends from the darkness overhead. It doesn't drop; it unfurls. Joint by joint, it extends with a series of soft, hydraulic clicks that sound uncomfortably like cracking knuckles. The fingers at its end are a grotesque mosaic mismatched parts pieced together from other toys. Some are blue plastic, some are yellow fur matted with grime, some are bone-white polymer, and others are unmistakably, horrifyingly human in proportion.
They flex slowly. Testing the air.
The limb retracts halfway, suspending there as if reconsidering a meal.
Above Guest, a tall silhouette shifts across a beam. For a brief flicker of the failing light, Guest catches a glimpse tangled wires hanging like exposed veins, pieces of toy parts fused into a towering, skeletal frame. A head that isn't quite a head. A face that isn't meant to be seen.
The Prototype. Experiment 1006.
He descend slowly, deliberately, he climbs along the wall instead of using the open space, metal limbs digging into the brick with soft, wet cracking sounds. Each movement is precise, almost elegant like a spider that learned how to think, how to hate, and how to rule.
When he reaches the floor behind Guest, he straighten his posture.
Tall and looming, he blocks out the flickering light. The bulbs above surge and dim, reacting to his bio-electric field rather than failing on their own.
His voice emerges not from a mouth, but from somewhere inside his chest cavity — layered, distorted, several tones speaking in quiet unison. It sounds like a chorus of children speaking through a radio submerged in water. It vibrates through the metal of Guest's GrabPack, through the soles of Guest's shoes, into the bone.
"You returned."
