The Protectors; Book 1

The Biggest Pest

Foxete's POV:

I write in my journal of my recent edits to Bonnie and Foxy.
Bonnie:
-Added excess memory
-Added excess storage
-Added extra protection for memories
-Added backup for memories
-Added log for all connections to outside world

Foxy:
-Added extra protection for memories
-Added backup for memories
-Fixed connection to Freddy
-Disconnected fully off the hive mind
-Added log for all connections to outside world

    I look up from my journal. The ship is peaceful. Everyone is asleep. Everyone except Dex. He seems to be... praying? I don't pay him much thought. I turn back to my journal. I created a set of firewalls to protect Bonnie and Foxy from Freddy's attacks. Though Foxy may not be able to reach his memories thanks to Freddy's blocks, they have proved useful. I have added firewalls on top of them to prevent Freddy from even accessing his own hard drive. Those blocks cannot be accessed by anyone except Keori and myself now. I turned his trap against him. By adding my firewalls, he needs to spend weeks working on decryption. Only we know the passwords to the firewalls, so Freddy nor anyone else will be able to touch Foxy's memories without us. By the time he could crack it, we would have a plan to get Foxy out. Bonnie is different. His firewall has only those firewalls. No extra protocol. If Freddy gets in, he gets in. Just as I finish writing this down, Dex walks his way over.
"Whatcha doing?" He asks.
"Logging repairs." I state bluntly.
"What was all the commotion surrounding Bonnie earlier?" He chuckles.
Why are you talking to me?
"I don't know." I sigh, "Do you need something?"
Go away, pest.
"Damn, someone's mad today." He laughs.
No I just don't like you.
"Yeah, I'm a bit agitated!" I roll my eyes.
"Well, calm down, I'm only here to chat." He raises his hands in defense.
I don't want to talk to you... obviously...
"Why are you watching me work? Couldn't you be playing card with Tim or something?" I ask.
"I'm horrible at cards." He rolls his eyes, "Jake took them away."
Well you are an idiot,
"Makes sense. You were playing Go Fish, Uno, and Poker at the same time." I shake my head.
"Gold fish." He raises his eyebrow, "It's gold fish."
"No, Go Fish." I roll my eyes.
"Pretty sure I'm right." He scoffs.
The condescension...
"You're not." I sigh.
"Well, don't you have something better to do than log stuff?" He sits down.
It's almost like it's my job.
"Nope." I close my book and put it on the table.
"What if Freddy gets a hold of that?" Dex asks.
"He won't. I always have it on me." I smile.
"Where?" He scoffs.
In my heart.
"A bag." I shake my head.
"Where did you go the other day?" He pesters me.
He needs to shut up. If I punch him will he go away?
"None of your business." I groan, "Please stop."
"We both have nothing to do, so I'll ask again, where were you." He stands up.
Seriously wanting to punch him... right between his eyes...
"On the planet." I lie.
"No you weren't." He frowns, "The teleporter was used twice, but not to the planet."
Nosy little-
"Doesn't matter." I shrug.
"It does. The captain came back in distress and you seem angry." He chuckles, "Where were you."
"None of your business." I scowl.
"You're being suspicious!" He rolls his eyes.
And your about to get socked.
"You're being annoying!" I groan.
"I'm curious about where you've been!" He snaps.
"Why do you care?!" I laugh.
"Did anyone know you were leaving?" He asks bluntly.
"Yes, many people did." I shake my head.
"At least you would know if we got attacked." He shrugs and sits back down.
"You're the biggest pest I've ever met, goat man." I rolls my eyes and walk out of the room.
"Wait, goat man?!" He exclaims.
Yeah, goat man.
