      Was just thinking, Cassie's dad has to be a lot older than some might think if he truly is the Bonnie Bully.
      The Bite was in 1983 and Micheal was around 14ish, and assuming Cassie's Dad/the Bonnie Bully was around the same age, and going off the calendar in SB placing the game at probably 2035 at the earliest (2029 is unlikely as it is too soon), that'd place him in his mid to late 60s.

    I do like the connections between Cassie's Dad/Jeremy and Sister Location, but... I think the person who was here before us was supposed to be William. When the Bidybabs say, "Is it the same person?", I think that's what Mike was referring to when he says "They thought I was YOU" in his speech. "They didn't recognize me at first, but then they thought I was YOU." William also crafted the space under the desk cause he was, well, the dude who built the bunker, he would know how to do that.

      I'm confused how Circus Baby of all people would go from not recognizing Michael, to thinking he's William.

They simply wanted to know if they were dealing with the same person as before because they couldn't see him yet.

      And what would William even want the space under the desk for? he had no need to hide from the funtimes because they were his creations, he was the one in control for the longest time, and the animatronics probably knew to recognize him, whereas a random technician would have been in actual danger because the bots are naturally built to work as killing machines against anyone besides Will, so anyone else in the bunker would want a safe spot to hide; also from the way they specifically say that the previous guy "Crafted" the hiding spot, it makes it sound like it was harshly built with parts scattered around the place in a moment of panic, and not an actual structure intended to be built as part of the bunker.
      It honestly wouldn't make sense for them to be talking about William seeing how much the game emphasizes the fact that other random technicians were in the bunker before Michael, and how most of them winded up dead, like the guy in the ducts or the ones hanging in Ballora's stage.

      @@drewbloom_ yeah the bonnie MCI kid was named jeremy.
      I had a headcanon/theory that Jeremy Fitzgerald is the bonnie bro, who would go on to work for fazbear entertainment since fnaf2, and that he never got bitten.
      he was also the Jeremy beta tester who 'cut his face off' but im pretty sure it's the vanni mask because it never outright states it was his face technically. it refers to the 'face' as a halloween mask, and the vanni mask is shown as such in the dreadbear dlc. plus, this all loops back to fnaf 2 cause withered bonnie has his face gone. a weird coincidence.
      it would just be weird if we play as a guard named jeremy who gets bitten and then just... he's never come up again in the series. it feels cooler if he has a bigger role.
      I then assumed that maybe the help wanted fnaf6 segments are jeremy working in the fnaf6 location with mike, and who would later work as a technician for fazbear entertainment/father of cassie.
      candy cadet's story about someone who had a scar and came back for revenge also makes sense if jeremy had a scar from the vanni mask but returned before the events of RUIN took place.
      The fact the MCI bonnie kid is named jeremy is pretty interesting. in help wanted 2 we got an achievement with the bonnie poppit that says "remember jeremy" which made me wonder if MCI jeremy was like... related to fitzgerald jeremy in some way

    This is a really good callout.
    I hadn't thought about Circus Baby saying "I recognise you" before and I haven't really thought about the Candy Cadet story possibly referring to Cassie's Dad's connection to the Sister Location bunker.
    You're right Cassie's Dad 100% has the connection to that bunker, the Vanny Ending of HW2 and the SL presence throughout HW2 makes that clear.
    I never really connected those dots but now that you have, I think you're correct.
    Another note though, I've now been thinking of "why"? How does Cassie's Dad being the Sister Location bunker survivor really add? I mean it's cool extra character I guess, any way they can add extra emphasis on a character we don't even see or hear is great for me so it doesn't really bother me for it to have been there just to for that, but it did make me at least want to consider the idea there was an extra reason for it.
    My mind then went to Ruin's elevator ending where Cassie walks through a corridor with SL-styled lighting and fan (maybe other decor I don't remember) then enters the elevator for it to drop and it's a cliffhanger as to what happened.
    It's implied in SL that Observatory 1 is Fredbear's, it's implied that Fredbear's is now Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place, so therefore it's implied that the SL bunker is under Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex.
    There's a pretty good chance imo that Cassie fell into Circus Baby's Entertainment & Rental, which alone would be cool but if you add on that her father was the Survivor of that location it does add that extra connection that makes me think "they can probably do something interesting with this".
    Not sure, just wanted to put my thoughts on that here.

    Do you think that lefty could be a refurbished carnie? This is a very long shot, im talkin 100 yard football kick, but it's just some fun thoughts that could conjure up something in the community.
    If you look at burnt carnie's model, you can just barely see that his right eye is more withered. You may have to squint. But say that at that time his right eye got replaced because it was the most damaged of the two, after decades of collecting dust and rotting away, the untouched eye could have decayed to the point of becoming black. As Henry repared carnie to become lefty, the original eye may have stayed or been replaced with a new black eye for a unique touch.
    A more realistic approach could be the lefty's design is INSPIRED by his burnt orginal. The eye rotted eye i just mentioned could have inspired the black eye detail.
    One specific character of that I think could drive home this theory is the color. Burnt carnie is a muted brown with white char accents. But if you were to scrape all of burnt plastic off, you be left with a black tarnished metal. Notice that lefty is not solid black, but a metalic, gun metal black.
    I think it is possibe that lefty is either a repaired version of carnie, with it's new design based on the chared scraps of the original, or lefty was a completely different animatronic who's build was inspired by the remains of his counterpart.
    By the location of Fazer Blast and hint we see, I think that carnie was most likely a part of Fall Fest(most likely the 1970 event) if so, do you think it's possible that carnie was one of Henry's first animatronics. That was a whole decade before our first look at fredbears.
    Whether or not Fredbear's opened before 1983. I highly doubt that it was an establishment before 1970. I noticed that there is no sign of Freddy’s or Fredbear's on the poster. Which leads me to believe that this fall fest may have predated everything.
    The running theory is that the mediocre melodies were his first animatronics, made to rip off Freddy’s fame. But being that we see an animatronic a decade before that, that closely resembles one of his final animatronics. It really seems that carnie could be his first.
    Here's some food for thought. Henry has been deemed a copycat in the early timeline for the mediocre melodies. But if he made his first BEAR animatronic at a children's theme event in 1970, is he really the copycat? If William stole the idea and made Fredbear's, and Fredbear's became as big as it did. No one would bat an eye at a small carnival with a simple bear animatronic.
    I don't know if I like this idea, but I'm just throwing everything I got to see what sticks. Is it possible that William set the carnival on fire to one, preventing it from becoming more successful. And two, to take that idea and reuse it for himself. I don't think he was pure evil at this point, or really evil at all. But it's still just a thought.
    I don't really think that lefty is a remade carnie. I think it's possible that the design could have been inspired by the withered design. But I doubt that they put that much thought into a connection like that.
    I am pretty confident, though, that carnie was most likely the first and that Henry was never really the copycat. But more so, tried to reclaim the ideas stolen from him later on after William's fame.

      Help wanted 2 seems like an archive of "Jeremy's" Memories, we possibly see earlier timeline events from his pov, and we see more current events, lefty coming from carnie would make sense.

    I could see it being Cassidy's dad but the big question is why? I know hes an employee but that wouldnt explain why he would be in that part of of the building since everything in sister location was supposed to be automatic and work without a human.

    I love how well this theory fits with all the new lore that we've been getting since Steelwool took over FNAF and I do think that you nailed it! The only problem I can see is that when Sister Location came out Bonnie Bro was just a random background character with zero relevance to the story. I can't imagine Scott already planning all of this so far back in advance. So yes, it's totally possible that the modern lore has retconned this detail to retroactively fit with Cassie's dad's story, but what was Scott's original intention when he made Sister Location? That's still up in the air...

    I actually agree with this theory because none of us have noticed that detail- unless security breach was like made in the 2010’s or 2000’s because if the bite happened in 1983 while Cassie’s dad is a teen and he grew up older but in (2040?) that will make him old and it won’t make sense how how Cassie is still a child, because she would’ve been an adult at some point.
    And I have a theory not related to this video but I hope anyone reads it
    Theory A#: this maybe not enough proof for it but I’ll give it a try. Now remember in fnaf 3 mini game the happiest day? Or where the dead children celebrate the crying child’s birthday? (Not Cassidy cause she decided to trap William in his own hell but c.c wanted to rest) but if you focused on the detail where we pass by children who are alive and celebrating their birthday there are two specific masks that we see in and thought it was either one of or two of the mediocre melody animatronics but that didn’t seem to fit enough for it so I assumed it was maybe roxy and Monty since the two colors kinda resembles them bit. (Now this is a made up story so please do not assume it is real or argue with that theory) so back then when Henry and William used to work together building freddy and his friends (during the time where fredbear diner existed but wasn’t fully constructed) they had tried to focus on what to choose characters to go along with Freddy and chica, William suggested maybe a wolf and a gator but that didn’t approve well with Henry since he finds it less relatable instead he thought of a bunny and a pirate fox which that idea seemed to work well. Now years later after fazbear entertainment was building the mega pizzaplex mall one of the heads (who used to work with Henry) has scattered around some old blueprints or drawing concepts and he found two old drawings from Henry’s work it goes by the wolf roxy and the second monty the gator, they managed to fully finish Roxy but monty was a late to be finished and so his gator golf. In the aftermath of bonnie being missing they decided to have monty being part of the band. (Yeeeeah not a good one but I guess I tried but like this one since it can fit well in the fnaf plot eh we’ll just find out later how and who was responsible of Bonnie’s absence)
    Now theory B#: after the bite of 83 I assume Micheal was arrested for killing his own brother and so his friends but the three them scattered away running from the police. Cassie’s dad if I assume has ran to sister location to hide there until the commotion is over but unaware how sister location is dangerously bad and the horrors he’ll face now the other lines don’t seem fit expect for baby in this video, I’ll focus on with Freddy since he makes an accurate line “ well hello again, are you ready for round two?” “knock knock anybody home?” Now the first line kinda supports this theory fuhnaff and I agree! I assume the Funtime animatronics has met Cassie’s dad once and some may remember him and some not. But maybe they do remember him but rather not interested to talk about. But what I can say some have met cassie’s dad but some don’t either were under construction or locked away.
    Now that’s all I wanna share and please do not argue in the comments lol we can all gather informations and piece it up together like a puzzle pieces and it doesn’t matter who’s theory is right or wrong, in the end we all find out with each theories pieced and supported we’ll find the big mystery until the big reveal. Now bread a day keeps the horrors away 🍞

    I don't like this theory very much because it assumes that "the previous technician" had some meaning back in 2016, when Scott created Sister Location. What was this meaning? Why was Circus Baby talking so special about him? As for now, this video sounds as if this guy was "a teaser to Help Wanted 2", and this feels absurd. There is a point in giving more story to already established characters, but you'd have to explain what was previously established. As for now, there's nothing.
    But I don't really agree that the technician survived. He survived Bidybabs, but "this scenario" is the power outage - he had to go through Ballora Gallery. Baby knows that "if you trust HandUnit, you will die". How does she know that? What happened during the previous power outage? We can't be sure that the technician survived all of that.

    Before I get into the rest of the video, I do want to mention a few things:
    - We do not know if the one that hid behind the "bidybab wall" actually survived SL
    - The person that hid behind the wall is not necessarily a majorly relevant character
    But I'm interested to see where this goes.
    Okay, it's obviously Cassie's dad you were suggesting. Right, so:
    - There is a clear gap between the modern FE and the past FE. If he's an engineer there now, that doesnt mean he was one at the old FE. His authority there has nothing to do with what he might have done in SL.
    - Voice lines are genuinely just reused for no reason in both HW1 and HW2. There was no need to get more Bidybab lines than necessary, so they just reused them
    - The fazwrench and faz-conduit are branded after Glamrock Freddy, a character that didnt exist at the time of SL. They were not actually there.
    - The Bidybabs were used because they are easy "pawn enemies" that you can just scatter accross the map without needing to worry about space or them being too visible/stealing the main enemy's spot.
    - While the "I recognize you" line is genuinely fascinating, one needs to keep in mind that the actual Circus Baby is not there. It's a digital creature created by Glitchtrap. While the implications might still ring true, it could just be that Glitchtrap recognizes him.
    - I doubt the "memory dolls" represent Cassies Dad's memories. As they are linked directly to Glitchtrap, I think they are what he is tied to. Memories of the past, forming a recreation of Afton, who can only be defeated when those memories are put to rest.
    Still, very interesting video!
