[a brief flash of orange as the video turns on before the camera focuses on what looks to be sleeves on a jumpsuit tied around someone's waist. a moment's pause and there is a slight shuffle sound as the camera is brought up to reveal a face.

said face is of a woman of an indiscernible age. young-looking but...who the fuck knows with the way video game timelines work. her brows are stitched together as she examines the device. she looks perplexed, fatigued, and simply displeased with her current state of affairs, and her lips pull down into a pout before the picture blips off.

obviously someone is having trouble with her communication device!

a few seconds later it blips back on, and she still looks a bit disgruntled, but less so. there's a moments concentration and the device is brought closer to her face for a second, and then lowered at what would be reading level for the strange woman.

the tank she's wearing reads APERTURE LABORATORIES and once again, the feed cuts out.

seconds later, there's a bit of text.]

hello?

[her face appears once again, and she seems to be thinking carefully. obviously she is a woman of very little words.]

i won't test.

Re: oh god here we go apologies in advance 1/5

[testgasm]

[Sweet Robot Jesus she's not dead she didn't die from space I didn't kill her.]

[testgasm]

[I can apologize.

That apology I practiced for months while orbiting the Moon I can do it and she's going to forgive me and it's going to be so great ha ha ha haha]

[testgasm]

[...ha ha ha hahahaohhh God I am so screwed.]

OK THERE [audio]

[testgasm]

[THROAT CLEARING.]

Um...hello. There. Hi. It's, um.

Actually you probably know who this is. And. I would imagine it is...it is the last voice you want to hear, but don't hang up! Don't--don't hang up.

Listen it is...really great to see you here. Are you doing okay? Washed all the goo off? Just, um. Say something, or type something or...give me a signal. If you are listening and haven't just...walked away from your communicator by this point. Because I would--I would very much like to talk to you.

About things.

HEY THERE, CHICA.
HANG TIGHT IN THERE!!!! Nothing to be alarmed about! You've just been kidnapped from your world and brought here! WE'RE IN SPACE, FUCK YEAH. I got to the moon first. Isn't that awesome? Isn't that COOL???
You can call me Alfred and we should be friends! Sound rad, daddyo? Fuck yes it does cause I'm awesome.

Oh, dude....

LOL. Screw me side ways if there are any tests. I signed up for this one test some of the captives were hosting but I never got any sort of candy or anything like they promised, so whatever, man!!! I don't need that shit; you just have to know....

WHAT IS THE BEST COUNTRY IN THE ENTIRE WORLD?!?!!
and if you get it right, you pass the test and win the prize of being my back-up!!!!

Sound good? Think you can handle that, babe? I believe in you!

AND HEY IN CONTRAST TO ALL THAT RAMBLING TEXT HERE HAVE SOMETHING EXTREMELY VERBOSE AND FLOWERY AND FULL OF PURPLE PROSE.]

Space?

[ text ]

[suckersluck]

[ Oh god. Oh god, she's here, and she survived, and schrodinger's cat is alive and well and Doug is both elated and so damn sorry that all he can do is choke off a sob and turn off the communicator.

He turns it back on ten minutes later, hands shaking. ]

no testing.

yet.

[ text ]

[mutelunatic]

[OBVIOUSLY THIS TEXT DOES NOT HOLD AS MUCH SIGNIFICANCE TO HER sorry Doug. just another set of letters possibly attached to an AI.

it could be Her typing all this up for all she knows. but she responds some minutes later. no. She would have said something by now.]

Yet?

[she doesn't like the sound of that.]

[the_crowing]

i don't think anyone wants to test.

[text]

[mutelunatic]

...there are others?

[oh man oh gawd oh man are there other test subjects still alive? who are awake?]

[voice]

[megamind]

Is everyone from Mr. Johnson's world so -- interesting?

[Seriously he has to drag himself from his new robot friend to see this and is TOTALLY AMUSED.]

[text]

[mutelunatic]

[AH A NEW VOICE. WHAT IS THIS NEW VOICE AND wait what does he mean by "world".]

Cave Johnson?

voice;

[youdieinreallife]

Well then! You won't get your results, now, will you?

[text]

[mutelunatic]

[MAN HAVEN'T YOU HEARD. SHE ALREADY GOT HER RESULTS WAY BACK WHEN.

she was a horrible person. they weren't even testing for that, y'know.]

don't care.

[she won. GLaDOS said so Herself.]

[consulting]

Test? Enlighten Me.

SH.

[mutelunatic]

no.

[LMAO SHE'D RATHER NOT]

[audio]

[cave_johnson]

[Why hello what is that you're wearing there it has certainly grabbed this man's attentions.]

Don't be discouraged, test subject. What you've got there is an inability to use your keypad, possible mental disorder and or brain damage. Some people call that cynicism.

I call it perfectly treatable, hah! Rest assured, we can get a new brain in your head pronto. In and out lobotomy, so quick you won't even realize.

Before that happens though I need to get some basics; Name? Age? Allergies? Estimated era of Aperture related existence?

[video]

[mutelunatic]

[oh no

oh no this is like deja vu times a million. that voice. that voice. it wasn't the Voice, of course, that title will always be reserved for Her, but she could call it the Other Voice.

or Cave Johnson. because, well, it's Cave Johnson. his voice, at least.

you're dead.

nevermind the fact that some guy was just talking about you as though you were alive.

this is obviously a pre-recorded message. so nope, no text, just a visual response of her staring wide-eyed at the communication device.]

[scratched]

you can find the rest of the addicts in the oxygen garden

[mutelunatic]

?

[WHY IS THE TEXT RED.]

[video]

[testability]

[a dry laugh, before her computerized voice begins.] Well, this is indeed a... surprise, for lack of a better word at the moment. I counted on you getting your freedom, and yet here we are. I must say I expected better from you Chell.

Then again it seems like we're in the same boat, or should I say ship, ah details.. Before you jump into assuming, no it was not me. I let you go for a reason after all.

Now, the better question is who. That's something I'd like to know.

1/2

[mutelunatic]

[nope.

no no no no no no no.

seeing as she had thrown her communicator down in shock upon Wheatley's response, you can only imagine the sheer force of her next throw when that laughing starts up. i'm surprised it didn't break, actually.

they had left on good terms. well, as good as you could possibly get them when it concerned Her, but still, the way she said her name...

nope. she still didn't like it.

that Voice, coupled with that unfamiliar face...yeah no give her a second. she's actually looking around to see if there are any cameras in her room, even if GLaDOS just said it wasn't Her.

SOMEONE JUST SAID YOU WEREN'T HERE THEY ARE SUCH A LIAR AAARGH.]

[zoosmell]

this isn't a test!
i mean, i don't think this is a test?
maybe this whole thing is a test...
or LIFE is a test.
except that sounds way too cheesy and kinda really stupid and like an asshole saying, anyway!
so i guess what i mean is that i don't really know what you mean by test.

[mutelunatic]

[now there's blue text what is this.

so rambly.

why does everyone talk so much.]

testing for science.

[THERE. THAT'S A KILLER EXPLANATION.]

[godseer]

That's not your only option here, if you care to pass the time. Though it is one of them.
Welcome aboard.

[mutelunatic]

what other options?

[she likes the idea of having a choice at least /sob

ALSO PURPLE TEXT. first red then blue now purple.

how do you. do that.......]
