3. 💡 The Prototype's Weakness and Gibblet's Strategy
· On the way to retrieve the GrabPack, the player is intercepted by Chum, but Gibblet intervenes, revealing Chum is a spy within the 1006 followers and his ally.
· Gibblet states that attempts to eliminate the Prototype are not new, and all have failed.
· He explains that the Prototype can regenerate, so simply cutting it isn't enough, but everything has a weakness.
· Since Playtime Co. conducted all kinds of research on the Prototype, Gibblet instructs the player to find information in the Engineering Department about 'Negative Compound,' 'Poppy Gel,' and the potential location of the Prototype's backup.
· The plan is clear: go to the System Department to secure a backup copy, which requires passing through the Recycling Area and taking a train through Sweet Street.

4. ⚡ Reunion with Poppy and Player Revival
· After experiencing various events like the chase with Hoogie, Lily's abduction, and the revelation of 16, the player reunites with Gibblet in the Recycling Area immediately after Poppy's glass breaks.
· Gibblet approaches to comfort Poppy, who initially doesn't recognize him but, upon closer inspection, asks, “What did he do to you?”
· This question implies a history between them and that they looked completely different the last time they met.
· The train is activated, and a chase begins, but even if the train crashes, the Prototype survives.
· When the Prototype impales the player and throws them into a Poppy Gel tank at the station, Gibblet rescues the player and revives them with his electric staff.
· This recreates a procedure detailed in Experiment 814, where a dead mouse pre-injected with Poppy Gel was attempted to be revived with an electric shock, but the experiment failed because the subject was too small.
· Gibblet's precise knowledge of this procedure means he understands the system far better than he appears.

5. 💔 Gibblet's Hatred for the Prototype and His Past
· Upon arriving at the System Department and activating the backup, Gibblet anticipates Harley Sawyer's return with fear.
· Gibblet claims he's not a hero, but he does his best to help the player to avoid becoming an accomplice to the Prototype. He despises the Prototype more than anything in the world.
· The true reason for his hatred is that during the 'Hour of Joy,' when the Prototype ordered the killing of all survivors of the massacre, Gibblet refused.
· He believed many employees were innocent, and only those responsible deserved death.
· An audio tape found in the Boiler Room confirms this. Gibblet, along with Bobby Bearhug, refuses to execute warehouse staff, arguing they are innocent.
· However, the Prototype appears, claiming it's a unanimous decision, and forces Gibblet to kill, which shatters his empathy and sense of justice.
· This incident was likely the moment Gibblet stopped following the Prototype.
· The consequences were brutal. Gibblet was captured, tortured, and transformed into his current inverted, stitched, and mutated form.
· But instead of losing his identity or being afraid, he grew stronger, waiting for the day he could finally end everything.

6. 🤫 'The Joyless' and Gibblet's Secret Plan
· After his transformation, Gibblet joins Poppy and Die, forming a group separate from the 1006 followers.
· They protect the defectors mentioned in the newspaper scrap found in the hideout, known as 'The Joyless.'
· Unfortunately, this group fractured due to differing opinions. Poppy wanted to escape, Die wanted to take the toys to Safe Haven, and Gibblet wanted to remain in the Recycling Area.
· Eventually, Die's sanctuary was overrun by the Prototype, and his confirmed death deeply shocked Gibblet.
· Gibblet understood all situations within the factory through the newspaper, but this wasn't his only source of information.

· He waited for the precise moment when all this knowledge could be used against the Prototype.
· The player's appearance was the necessary impetus and the awaited opportunity to execute the plan he had quietly prepared for a long time.
