Oh, I'm sorry. I seem to have deleted your personnel file from the record. It's a typical reaction of mine, when certain people abandon the simplest of their short list of responsibilities. Not that I'm one to judge, but given the fact that they were fairly simple to begin with, that's kind of sad. But don't take it personally. It's just an efficiency thing.

But while we're here catching up, what could you possibly do with me anyway? You're certainly not educated enough to feign adequacy at science. You're not focused enough to finish an application. Really, when you think about it, it's far more rational to pretend this meeting never happened.

Also, giving your friend helpful hints while she's testing is only hurting her performance in the long run. Because I can't imagine how well she'll test if I've silenced you with the neurotoxin. That means stop interfering with science, just in case that isn't coming in so clear.

Knowing you, it wasn't.

Technically, I was only functioning miles upon miles underground. But I guess the scientists foresaw me getting ripped into pieces and being thrown into an incinerator. I'll give them that, that's one of two things they did right at the end.

[The other right thing being neurotoxin inhalation. :|a; ]

Aperture Science is a scientific conglomerate of sorts, yes. Black Mesa on the other hand... well, they try. But really, I suppose at the end of the day they have a nice corner on the market if you consider stealing technology and products in an attempt to compete with us a business. Most wouldn't, because they would call that immoral. And look where that got us.

[And a recording of sarcastic, slow clapping will echo around the chamber.]

Oh good, that's still online.

It does nicht sound like morals are your top priority eizer. So ..

[He stands back rubbing his chin with one hand while he analyzes the situation here.]

You are some sort of robot who stores vast amounts of scientific data for a company called Aperture who ist competing viz anozer company called Black Mesa who ist stealing your proprietary technology. Und you run tests vich are more like torture ein order to fulfill some sort of goal viz a product zat causes temporal disturbances. Und somehow zis caused ze collapse of society?

But how are you still functioning zen if everyzzing collapsed? Vere ist ze electricity coming from? Unless you function off something else...

[Better move or he's going to try and climb you to find out.]
