So uh
What IS going on with the VANNI mask?
Not really applicable for actual, on-site stuff, but my headcanon is that Cassie isn't actually phasing though anything and the Mimic is just gaslighting her. She only starts phasing through stuff when the chip gets implanted in her skull, and Helpi has a very weird exchange with her. She asks how she got past the first barrier and he says "You got here on your own two feet!" and that just never sat right with me. Seems very hand-wavey and suspicious.
I guess if we were to be as objective as possible, it'd be phasing and/or minor dimensional travel
I've actually got a list of abilities that the Security Mask/VANNI Mask has, though I'll have to get the scans sometime in the future:
•
Hacking and
Limited Perception Manipulation (Can take control of and deactivate robots, and can prevent them from perceiving the wearer. Can hack into cameras and disable Security Nodes.)
•Possibly
Intangibility (Can allow the wearer to pass through solid objects by turning them into "mesh networks".)
•
Enhanced Senses,
Subjective Reality, and possibly
Dimensional Travel (Can allow the wearer to perceive objects only present in the virtual world, which is described by Helpi as "
still in the real world, but Fazbear Entertainment has made it better", and bring them into reality. Allowed the player character of Help Wanted 2 to physically hold and use
The Princess's Sword of Light. Increases the wearer's ability to see in the dark.)
•
Information Analysis (Via Helpi.)
•
Portal Creation (Can allow the wearer to teleport through white glitching doorways. Sent Cassie to the Daycare through a screen.)
•
Platform Creation (Can allow the wearer to cross virtual bridges.)
•
Corruption and Limited
Telepathy (Type 1. Putting the mask on links the user with Glitchtrap.)
•
Resistance to
Status Effect Inducement and
Light Manipulation (The Security Mask protects Vanny from the Fazcam and Fazer Blaster; the latter of which can cause seizures, blindness, and semi-paralysis if shot directly in the eyes.)
These abilities would apply to Vanny, Cassie, and the player character of Help Wanted 2 (also some of these should apply to Mimic01/Glitchtrap and MXES).
