That's when I heard what sounded like a muffled explosion from outside the room. The way she asked that convinced me that she didn't do it. When we entered the testing room, I looked around and didn't notice anything too difficult that I hadn't seen before.īefore we could do anything else, though, the room suddenly went dark! "Yeah, yeah, we're done," I replied as I continued forward.Ĭhell seemed to have snapped out of her funk and continued forward. "I've been waiting patiently for the next test." "Are you two done?" GLaDOS asked from above. "Thanks, Engie," she replied with a grimace, "but I don't think even you can fix this." Once we find a way out of this place, we'll figure out a solution." "Hey," I interrupted as I put my hand on her shoulder. and that there might be nobody else in the world except you." "I mean, when you realize that everyone you've known and loved is now dead and gone. I know there's you and your men, but you guys are from, what, the 60's, you said?" "It's just crazy to think I'm the only living human being right now. She gave a small sigh and shook her head.
"Well, I suppose I'll take it," she replied with a small smirk, though she still didn't look too happy. "I can't exactly be the most help, but I can at least keep you from going insane from loneliness." "Well, you've got me, now," I told her with a shrug and a smile. "Well, he was my only companion and the only one who had any sort of idea of what was happening." she crushed him and tossed him aside as if he were garbage." and he, unfortunately, didn't survive the encounter. "And then this 'personality core' gizmo named Wheatley guided you through the place to help you escape, only to accidentally turn the robot lady back on?" Next thing I knew, I woke up and, after learning that centuries, if not millenniums, had passed, saw that this entire facility was in pieces." This track is the result of my experiment, in which I tried to recreate some of the Portal 2 signature sounds and make an epic track that could be used in an escape sequence. "After that, I had almost escaped the facility, but one of those damn machines dragged me back in here and placed me in some sort of hyper-sleep chamber. "That's the gist of it," Chell replied with a shrug. "You were a test subject for these portal tests back in the early 21st century, were almost executed at the end of your run, managed to escape and run amuck in the facility, only to confront that GLaDOS robot and shut her down?" "So, let me make sure I've got this right," I said as we exited the elevator. I can't tell if it had been a few hours or a few days, but one thing was sure: however long we had been down here, she managed to spill out a lot of information. Chell had explained that because daylight is always simulated in the facility and special stuff is added into the air that keeps us awake, the passage of time can easily be lost. I had lost track of how long we had been down here doing these portal tests.
