[ She'd spent a while absent from the comm waves and from the view of the city, especially after that horrid looking view of a certain scientist she had no knowing of. Chell was up to bigger and better things.

Like the warehouses.

At first, she figured they were owned by someone, and casually strolled around for a while, watching people file in and

[ The symbol on the girl's chest had quickly caught Caroline's attention as she scanned the posting network. ]

Miss? [ She had to be in the warehouses, Caroline was already on the way. ] Where did you get that shirt?

[ Holy freakin' shit GLaDOS is following h---

oh it's her comm thingy.

Hang on----setting down the case of SunnyD and-------

Oh. It's...not GLaDOS. She types into the comm. ]

APERTURE?

TEST SUBJECT

[yessirmrjohnson]

Test subject? I don't mean to offend you, but you don't look like the sort of subjects we employ. What sport did you compete in and what Olympic year was it?

[ Woah girl.

Woah.

She may be mute and have slight brain damage, but she isn't crazy. ]

TEST SUBJECT

FOR ASHPD

[ action ]

[yessirmrjohnson]

Ashpd? I'm sorry, I haven't heard of that product. [ There's a pause. ] Were..were you injured during a test? Perhaps some head trauma. I promise that Aperture Science has already went to the trouble of sending the correct compensation to those you indicated in your application.

[ God where was this woman during her testing?

The SunnyD lays forgotten for the moment. Oh wait. Chell picks up another bottle and pops it open, holding the nozzle between her teeth as she typed ]

BRAIN DAMAGE=NO TALKING

[ That SunnyD bottle drops to the ground with a splashed 'thunk', spraying orange all over the ground. ]

GLADOS?

YOU WERE DELETED

[yessirmrjohnson]

[ She laughs nervously, pushing some hair behind her ear. ] I'm a human I can't be deleted.

[jumpsuitmonster]

BUT SHE DID

YOU WERE DELETED

I HOPE

SHE SAID YOU SAVED ME

DID YOU

[yessirmrjohnson]

I.. I wouldn't know. But if you know GLaDOS, then it seems you come from a time different than mine. Our main tests from my period involve the Aperture Science Portable Quantum Tunneling Device and Repulsion Gel.

[jumpsuitmonster]

OH THAT MAKES SENSE THEN

HOW DOES THAT WORK

THE DEVICE

[yessirmrjohnson]

[ Caroline hesitates, after all, this was very classified information. Even though this woman seemed to truly be a test subject for Aperture... with a sigh, Caroline straightens. ]

It's a device that connects two unrelated spaces by creating two linked inter-dimensional portals. Highly advanced, and extremely classified. Given your test subject status, I'm assuming you've already trained with the quantum tunneling device.

[ She hadn't breathed a word about it to anyone here yet and even now it was easy to tell she wasn't entirely comfortable talking about it now. ]

[jumpsuitmonster]

[ Yep. Sounds like the ASHPD. ]

YES

THAT'S THE ASHPD

A LOT OF TESTING

IT WORKS

A. S. H. P. D. Aperture Science.. handheld? What you worked with, was it less than 100 pounds?
