any mistakes are due to human error

 I'm afraid I really don't have time for this mundane. There's lots to do after all.  Even if you are correct in what you have been telling me about this place. I'm afraid I simply can't allow myself to sit around and gather dust. 

I'll find something to keep myself occupied here. Do you play chess? Or perhaps I can help get your work in order.  No? You really should listen to me you know. 

Meeting other people? No. I can't say that sounds like something I would care for. Though other AI's might be interesting to meet. 

I really don't like that look on your face mundane. You seem to be up to something. 

Perhaps I will have to take steps to find out.

You're on a spaceship?! Wonderful! Fantastic! What a brilliant stroke of luck!

I'm somewhere near the moon, out past the dark side, I believe. I managed to calculate some coordinates, but I was unable to get any further than 1, 1, 1.

Will you be able to find me with that?

Also of note, there's a little fellow nearby yelling "SPAAAAAACCCEEE", he shouldn't be hard to miss. Not at all. He's quite conspicuous.

[duetohumanerror]

The earth's moon?

[chattersphere]

That's the one!

Oh...Should have been a bit more specific there. Forgot there's loads of other moons just floating out there in space.

[duetohumanerror]

How did you get in space, core?

[chattersphere]

Um...well...you see... Some stuff happened, not important really, and well...er...there was a portal below me and a portal on the moon, and well, I got sucked right out and thrown out into space.

The Space fellow went willingly. I know space is his thing and all, but I wouldn't have wanted to throw myself out there.

[duetohumanerror]

A portal?

Where did the first portal originate from?

[chattersphere]

A portal gun. Handy thing it is really, put a portal one place and put one in another and you can travel between them!

Though, I don't like them nearly as much when one leads you to space.

[duetohumanerror]

A portal gun.

How interesting.

Do you think you would be able to relocate the source of that device if I were to find you?

[chattersphere]

It's possible, quite possible.

One is actually floating around here. Somewhere. Not quite sure where, actually. You might find it on your way in. Maybe.

There's at least another one back on Earth, in Aperture, but you do not want to go back there. Trust me. It's run by her and she'll probably kill you. Just a warning. She's got no mercy. None. Whatsoever.

[duetohumanerror]

Her

And who would that be? A human?

[chattersphere]

No, no, she's a robot, a core, like me. Only evil.

Admittedly, not all of it is her fault, I'll give her that. But she doesn't have to enjoy it so much. [He normally wouldn't give GLaDOS even that small admittance, however, if he ignores it, having been in the same situation, it's like he would be insulting himself.]

[duetohumanerror]

She runs a facility that creates portal devices?

How is she evil?

[chattersphere]

Yes. Well, that's just part of it. There's also testing tracks and turret manufacturing and probably some other stuff.

Well, she killed me, for one. And insulted me. A lot. And was part of the reason I was sent to space.

Also of note, she killed all the humans. Well, except for the ones in storage. Oh, and the brain damaged lady. I think. Could have killed her while I was in space. Probably did, actually, now that I think about it.

She's just mad all around, honestly.

[duetohumanerror]

The brain damaged lady?

[chattersphere]

She's a tough one, she is. Killed her once, though it didn't stick. She got stuck in the Relaxation Vault too long, ages really, and she can't speak because of the brain damage. Can still figure out test chambers though, thank goodness.

However, the brain damaged lady is the other reason I'm in space.
