THE SECURITY GUARDIAN AU

I've always headcanoned that Michael used an illusion disc to hide his rotting, digging one up from an old box of leftover parts his father left behind and tweaking it to make himself look normal.

So with that in mind: au where after the pizza sim fire, Michael's remnant attaches to his illusion disc. The disc is found while preparation for the pizzaplex is underway and Fazbear Entertainment reuses the parts like the corner cutters they are. Specifically, they implement it into the pizzaplex security network to better conceal unpleasant elements from nosy guests.

Thanks to this decision, Michael is now able to go pretty much anywhere in the plex and mess with all the tech & animatronics as he pleases. In the VANNI AR network he appears as a physical entity (still trying to come up with a design for him) and can talk more freely, but outside of it he can only really communicate through taking over animatronics, messing with the various tv screens, or (on rare occasions) commandeering the speaker system.

Vanessa absolutely despises the guy as he causes trouble for her specifically and bothers her nonstop whenever she has the VANNI mask on to make it harder for her to hurt people.

M.X.E.S/M1 however is more or less tolerant of him. His tampering is fairly helpful in keeping M2 contained and what's left of F10-N4 can tell he's a good man, different from the horrid con-artist he shares a face with.

I like to think he'd help out Gregory and Cassie as like a mysterious tech based guardian angel, but I haven't gotten around to figuring out their dynamics yet.
