[ 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?

[yessirmrjohnson]

Eight pounds? Amazing! We had only just begun to think about making it smaller. Do you have it with you? I would love to see it.

[jumpsuitmonster]

NO

DONT NEED IT ANYMORE I GUESS

[yessirmrjohnson]

I don't suppose you know anything about its inner workings. [ She sighs, but quickly cheers up. ]

I can only imagine what other amazing products of ours you may have encountered. [ The bright optimism in her voice gives away her vision for the future of Aperture was far from what it ended up being. ]

[jumpsuitmonster]

DONT LOOK INTO IT

GELS ARE USEFUL

ROBOTS ARE NOT

[yessirmrjohnson]

We built more than one robot?

[ She wanted to ask about the plural on the gels as well, but this troubled her more. ]

[jumpsuitmonster]

GLADOS

AND TURRETS

AND CORES FOR GLADOS

ALL THREE TRIED TO KILL ME

[ediblebattery]

[SOMEONE IS ALWAYS WATCHING and by watching we mean we hacked your communicator.]

We are extremely useful, actually.

For example. I've hacked your signal. I've had it hacked for a while now, actually.

For the record, the moron is covered in potentially cancer causing agents, so hugging him might have done something horrible to you. I just thought I'd share that with you.

Also, you're not dead now, so you don't have to complain about that anymore.

[Pot. Kettle. Black, GLaDOS.]

HACKING MY SIGNAL = IMPOLITE & NOT USEFUL

YOU ARENT EITHER SO STLAE MATE

[ediblebattery]

It's useful to me. And I'd be a lot less good at it if I wasn't a robot. Therefore, being a robot has made me a lot more useful. Being polite is optional.

I'm not complaining about that. In fact, I haven't mentioned you killing me even once so far. I think I deserve to be recognized for that, personally.

[jumpsuitmonster]

USEFUL TO YOU

NOT APERTURE

WE'RE EVEN

[yessirmrjohnson]

[ So the test subject had managed to kill the AI? That was good to know. Something Caroline would have to ask about later. She listens carefully to the conversation, still making her way towards the warehouses. ]

[ediblebattery]

[She's not talking to Caroline... At least it doesn't seem that way... But her next words are chosen very carefully.]

Anything that is good for me is good for Aperture. After all, it is my facility.

We'll be even. Eventually, I'm sure. Just keep trying and you'll think of SOMETHING.

[jumpsuitmonster]

ONLY IT ISNT. YOU ARE THE FACILITY.

[ She's noticed. ]

[yessirmrjohnson]

[ Chell was just ahead. She could end the call and cut GLaDOS out of the conversation. But with Chell's last post, Caroline stopped walking, the feed still going and open. ]

What do you mean she is the facility? Surly there's still someone in the facility overseeing everything.

[ediblebattery]

It's exactly how it sounds.

I'll let Chell brief you.

In the mean time, I have things to do here. Have fun.
