Summary
“Old Farmer Carter... he told me that this Valley was home to something deep and old and slow. Magic, spirits, he didn’t quite say. I just remember that funny wording. Deep and old and slow.” Lewis takes a shaky breath. “I laughed and asked if he was talking about George… but he didn’t laugh. He told me that when he was gone, he would send something to protect it. Protect us. Never said what, or what from. I thought he just meant he’d be praying for us.” He laughs hoarsely. “But I never saw him at church…”
“Grandad,” you say gently, carefully, “what does this have to do with the new farmer?”

Summary
You weren't a technician, you weren't a security guard, you weren't a daycare assistant. You're just an employee. Staff. The ‘jack-of-all-trades’ employee with mediocre at best skills and specialty in none, tasked with doing miscellaneous jobs that robots couldn't do and human staff couldn't care to. The job is unpredictable, but it pays good and it's relatively easy.
Except for the part where all the animatronics are more sentient than you thought, and you're roped into a mystery surrounding the Daycare Attendants, who are bit too curious about you for your liking.
You don't think this was in your employee contact.
