voice

[wow yeah a voice post from this comm. rare, i know. except...the voice doesn't exactly sound human.]

Hello?

Is anyone there?

I'm different.

[there's a few minutes of silence following that. and then...]

The box has been opened. The Titans walk among us.

[Static sounds for a long few seconds as Thane ponders the appropriate wording. This right here sounds like an AI, and those had the potential to be deadly (or just really awesome.

He could also be totally wrong but hey, better to check, right?]

Identify yourself

[and without even a hint of sarcasm]

If you please.

[rouge AIs were no reason to be rude.]

Who are you?

I'm different.

That's all I can say.

[oracle turret is really awesome in a creepy, cryptic sort of way.

so he's got something right.]

[... okay then]

I am Thane Krios

[He seemed a little shaken still, a little uneasy on his feet, but he was composing himself pretty well.

Though it looked like he was going to have to find a better question.]

What is your function?

Malfunctioning.

[it's not used to things talking back. usually it just talked...at someone, dispensing information instead of "product".

there's a whirring sound, a faint clicking as though in thought. it wasn't made to think, only to shoot, but again...it's different.]

I know.

I tell.

I... am afraid I don't understand

[a more blunt question, then]

What are you?

[she doesn't know how to answer bluntly, sorry Thane.]

Target acquired.

[following that is a series of whirring and clicking noises. it's answering your question to the best of its ability okay.]

I'm different.

What?
SH

The Titans walk among us like men.

Stripped of their power.

That doesn't help.

[WHIRRING NOISES FOLLOWED BY CLICKING]

I have no answers here. Not yet.

There are only questions.

Pandora has opened the box, and I tumbled out.

Where ARE you?

[NOPE

NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE

GAME OVER THAT'S IT

OLLIES OUTIE]

[Except no, he's back, because he's stupid, and if a turret is using Chell's communicator, obviously that means there is a high chance that the turret pumped her full of bullets, and then stole her communicator.

Somehow.

Without arms.

That's exactly what it did.

But he can't be certain, so he has to make sure, in an exaggerated stage whisper, because obviously that means the turret will not be able to hear him.]

Oi. Oi, Lady. La--Chell. There's a--please tell me you know that a turret's gone and hijacked your communicator? Also, maybe tell me if you're not dead, because that would be--that would be incredibly unfortunate if the turret caught you off guard and then decided to hit up the network.

Epimetheus had left man helpless.

Prometheus assured their survival.

[IT RECOGNIZES YOUR VOICE

even in that oh-so-hushed whisper.

Wheatley you suck. also Chell's rolled out of bed, accidentally knocking her device to the ground, and went to the bathroom or something. she'll be back soon but yeah.

you're stuck with this thing for now.]

Hello friend.

[NO forget it who are either of those people]

No! No thanks. Not interested in any of this, today.

[you killed her didn't you]

[no

but you're making it sad :(]

An afterthought.

A--a what?

Look, how did you even get her communicator, anyway, did you shoot her.

Edited 2012-07-09 01:34 (UTC)

Her?

[there's a whirring sound, followed by the clicking of what is obviously an empty turret. she can't shoot her, she wasn't made that way.]

From her is the race of women and female kind:
of her is the deadly race and tribe of women who
live amongst mortal men to their great trouble,
no helpmates in hateful poverty, but only in wealth.

[Okay so that sounds like...no bullets but HE CAN'T BE SURE MAYBE IT'S LYING

also w h a t]

Yeah, tell me about it, mate.

[MORE WHIRRING NOISES AS IT "thinks"]

"Men are so simple and so much inclined to obey immediate needs that a deceiver will never lack victims for his deceptions."

Wait. Wait, I know this one.

"Everyone sees what you appear to be, few experience what you really are."

[sob of course these quotes would get your attention.

she'll forever be fonder towards Greek mythos though]

[HE DOESN'T LIKE THE SOUND OF THAT]

Come on, what's that supposed to mean? What'd you do with the Lady?

[ABSOLUTELY NOTHING BECAUSE THERE'S THE SOUND OF A DOOR BEING OPEN AND CLOSED.

AND FOOTSTEPS NEARING.

AND STOPPING. not that you can see any of this happening, of course.]

Put me down!

Thank you.

H-hello?

Are you still there?

[ ROBOTS TALKING ABOUT THE PROMETHEUS. YEAH. HE'S PRETTY DAMN UNCOMFORTABLE ALREADY. ]

Sorry, what?

Prometheus and Epimetheus walk among us.

[THIS IS FOLLOWED WITH WHIRRING AND CLICKING NOISES.]

Hello.

[ Yeah, he will never like Robots. Especially ones that can think. He's just inherently suspicious about them, their motives - why people feel the need to program personalities and responses into them. ]

We're talking about Myths I take it?

The box had been opened long ago, and she was the bringer of Hope.

You wanna be more direct about what you're trying to say.

That's all I can say.

[she can't be blunt.]

Yeah, you're not really saying anything.

[ Don't try to be blunt with Hollowaaay. He's also really arguing with a Robot on his first thing here. ]

[Oh he's curious about this voice now...]

What are you?

I am the one who knows.

Oh? And what do you know?

Takin' you off the agriculture list. You're fuckin' crazy.

[HEY HE MIGHT BE SERIOUS

maybe

Ugh fuck him, he would if he could, but he can't.]

[OH COME OFF IT YOU KNOW YOU LOVE THE CRAZY LADY.

UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS NOT SHE.]

Insanity is relative.

[Yeah he actually. Stops to consider that. He hums, like yeah, point.]

Hn. You're still crazier'n I am.

[Why yes, that is indeed a voice that GLaDOS recognizes. How in the name of Aperture did a turret get on board the Tranquility?]

I sincerely hope you haven't been murdered by a turret. It would be extremely insulting, after all we've been though.

[Not that she believes Chell is actually dead. There wasn't any way a turret knew how to operate the comm. She just likes to insult Chell, is all.]
