Testdriving her old body~

[saw_a_deer]

Ah, how nice it is to be back in my old body. Pity it won't last very long, but I'm not one to complain. Besides, I'll be getting it back soon enough in that little game of yours. And then we can get back to testing. Won't that be fun? I think so.

Speaking of testing, I must admit I'm a bit curious as to how those new test subjects will perform. Only a bit curious, however. From teaching the students to speaking with the staff, I think I have an adequate analysis of what to expect. Which is to say, not very much. But, on the bright side of things: I'm sure at least one of them might beat the odds.

Also. I know what you and your little friends are up to. Stop it. Now.

I do not need a mute lunatic or an insufferable moron running around making a mess of things. Things are going fine. Really. I mean it.

Would I lie to you?

[Hey GLaDOS meet someone who actually has a brain that can keep up with a computer. Due to some previous knowledge she is a little wary of the big AI.]

[saw_a_deer]

It's impolite to stare, you know.

[reality_hacker]

My apologies. The last powerful creature I came into contact with caused me to very abruptly explode so I was being cautious.

[saw_a_deer]

Exploding? How droll. I prefer fire. Or Crushers. Or Deadly Neurotoxin.

But that's besides the point.

[reality_hacker]

I have to say your design is rather impressive. Despite any homicidal tendencies you are actually more easy to reason with than the organic being that killed me.

[Still she may or may not have to out-hack GLaDOS at some point in the near future if it comes to that.]

[saw_a_deer]

Of course. The scientists who designed me certainly knew what they were doing. "Knew" being the keyword.

[Yeah. Because she killed them all...not that they didn't deserve it.]

If only others thought like you. I myself don't think I'm that difficult to reason with. Just need to put some effort in, unlike what a certain mute lunatic whom shall remain anonymous thinks.

[She's totes the sweetest robot ever, why would you think otherwise?]

[reality_hacker]

[She's saying you're more easily reasoned with than a homicidal ancient force, don't get too cocky GLaDOS]

Then again I suppose I'm in a position where I am not the sort that would be conducive to testing. Well at least on the side of being a subject.

[She had a fear of tight spaces and darkness. Both happened in Aperture from time to time so. Not to mention she could wrap her mind around mathematical and physics theories even GLaDOS had no real grasp of.]

[saw_a_deer]

[GLaDOS? Cocky? Please, don't be absurd.]

Oh? And why is that?

[reality_hacker]

My knowledge, especially in chaos theory among other mathematical theories would be wasted in physical endeavors.

[That isn't to say she's unfit for testing, it would just be a waste of a good mind.]

[saw_a_deer]

Oh, I'm sure we could put a...knowledgeable mind to good use.

[reality_hacker]

In what way would you attempt to put my mind to use?

[saw_a_deer]

New test ideas and chambers. New obstacles. New research topics.

Lots of new. One person can only come up with new ideas for so long. We could use some new blood in the facility.

[reality_hacker]

I could certainly help in that regard but I would need three things before I considered such a position.

[saw_a_deer]

[Color her curious.]

Is that so. And what would those three things be?

[reality_hacker]

Access to the outside, spacious and lit corridors if I am required to go through them and the knowledge that under no circumstances will you cause the death of a test subject. Death in this case meaning termination of consciousness as to make accommodations for your robots' ability to be reassembled.

I will promise though that the testing will be interesting as to make amends for the changes.

[saw_a_deer]

The first two I may be able to grant, but I shall make no promises on the third. It is the test subjects' fault if they do not survive, after all.
