I have never been here before. I have no idea who any of you are right now.

Sorry

F'real, though? Does that mean you're not using those potatoes?

[ what potatoes, cillian, she just said she didn't remember. her number's different and everything. ]

[toomuchtenacity]

What potatoes?

[deprecate]

[ oh that's right the mute thing. he switches to text. ]

Your potatoes. In the Oxygen gardens

[toomuchtenacity]

Which ones are mine?

[testgasm]

[oh

oh no]

what

text

[toomuchtenacity]

Not brain damaged, not deaf. Trusted you and you tried to kill me. A few times.

That's why you were punched.

[testgasm]

okay look

assuming that you do not, in fact, remember the past year aboard this space ship and subsequently how far we've moved past that

there are some things you should know

[toomuchtenacity]

What

audio.

[helpmeguideit]

It's actually quite a common thing to happen here Chell.

Text

[toomuchtenacity]

Is it? Did I know you?

audio.

[helpmeguideit]

You did not, but it has happened to me as well. You get accustomed to the possibilities.

[toomuchtenacity]

Have you been here long now?

voice; because he learned nothing. ever.

[andblockbuster]

Okay. My name's Topher. We're not exactly friends, but you've never tried to kill me, so that's more than I can say for... pretty much everyone else I know from your universe, even if one of those times was sorta... extenuating. [NO OFFENSE, WHEATLEY.]

Hi.

[toomuchtenacity]

Hi.

Yeah, they do that. A lot.

[Wait]

Is anyone else from my universe here now?

voice

[andblockbuster]

Just Wheatley. And that creepy robot thing that only talks about Greek myths. Does that count?

[But Topher knows exactly who she means.] Worry not, my mostly mute sort-of-friend. The dragon lady has come and gone.

[toomuchtenacity]

[That's a relief because, the only way this could get worse was if she was here as well. Wheatley she can deal with, GLaDOS and Wheatley at the same time, no. Just no. Not again.]

Good.

[blunted]

Bet that revelation's gonna break a few hearts.

[ not that keller has any idea who this is or if anyone cares but. ]

text

[toomuchtenacity]

why?

text

[blunted]

You might've had friends.

[functioningperfectly]

This has happened before. Not to you, specifically, but it does happen on occasion. Since you haven't been here before, is there anything that you have questions about that have not been answered by others?

My name is HAL. It's a pleasure to meet you again, Chell.

[text]

[toomuchtenacity]

Hi. You knew me from before?

[text]

[functioningperfectly]

Yes, though it was only briefly. We had - or have, rather, a mutual acquaintance in Wheatley.

[savethebullshit]

[Anne is a dick who responds to texts with video, the end]

Get used to it. Chances are you're not going anywhere anytime soon. I've been here a year already.

[And a brief pause]

I'm Cunningham. I'm on Security so... give me a call if you land your ass in hot water.

[Text]

[toomuchtenacity]

No one has escaped at all?

[Get used to it. Like she's going to not try to escape.]

What does security do to people here?

[savethebullshit]

No. Not escaped. People do leave, but no one knows what happens to them. Some people think they go home. I don't know what I believe.

[a pause]

We don't really do anything to people here. Unless they need to be subdued.
