My heart, is in pieces.

I am left, speechless.

Wow. I'm legit speechless. I'll be honest, this has got to be one of the most realistic depictions of Chell, Rick and Fact I've ever seen in a fic. It's just got so much LIFE in it! Amazing!

Wheatley, I couldn't grade much, since he was mute for most of the fanfic. GLaDOS was good, but not as great as the three mentioned above.

I felt bad for Space Core until he was given his new job. I never DID like Intelligence Core, or at least, her portrayal. Felt too haughty, entitled; she kept insulting Craig's corruption even though her OWN corruption was repaired by him.

I think Morality didn't deserve the portal loop, though. She just wanted to keep everyone together. So, the turrets were, in the end, loyal to GLaDOS, but they still have their society and rescue missions, right? 'Twas adorable. Anyways, great fic! I adore it so much. I can see myself re-reading this sometime in the future! Addio. :3

This is absolute CHAOS! :D

Oh man, this was a wild ride! I really liked reading this story! I loved almost every aspect of it, the friendships, the fact that they had android bodies, the problems they had and overcame, it was written very well! It was only a bit confusing on how and why Chell came back and stayed in Aperature, but I'm sure that will be cleared up when I'll read it again in the future.
I did cry at the end though, too many feelings haha.
I hope you have a nice day!

I could barely pause while reading this. I love the characters all coming together like that and the whole set up and battle was just brilliant.

I loved this story when you first posted it, and I've loved rereading it over the years. Thanks for writing it!

OKAY SO I'M 1000038386 YEARS LATE BUT OHHHH MY GOD THIS STORY WAS FANTASTIC! I DIDN'T KNOW I LOVED FACT CORE BEFORE READING THIS BUT I SURE DO NOW. THANK YOU WONDERFUL WRITER FRIEND FOR KEEPING ME UP LATE AND MAKING ME SUPER HAPPY, I HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY! 3

This story is really fucking awesome i cant believe i almost passed it up. I love all of it. Great job

what is the white sunburst core's name?

dude i love this if i pm you will you respond?

omg. that makes so much sense that the turrets have a society in which their god is Chell. sms. (sms stand for so much sense)

I'm really confused as to what exactly happened with the turrets and if they switched allegiance or something or were never on chell's side, and why chell and co fought the cores off. I'm guessing Glados let them go because they helped her with that. wondering what the cores' motivations were by the way

hi so I was reviewing as reading chapter 12 and now it won't let me review chapter 12 so I backtracked to 11 to review as I'm still reading 12. nice touch, how fact sphere breaks at least a lil out of his speech patterns when he's in the worst part of the fight with rick.

hey, he's been the "face" sphere twice now
also glados showing hints of "pair the two" for torture is smart, I'm honestly wondering if it's an allegory for crazy fangirls pairing people, if she's a fan-insert if only in the matchmaking bit but you're meant to sort of compare yourself to her and reevaluate yourself...
I like this pic

It's taken me a long time to get around to this review. But I feel that I owe one to the longer stories, given how much of themselves the writer poured into them. If I may, I have a few observations.

I feel that the characters lacked internal dialogue. Thoughts and feelings, something that would allow us to truly step into the shoes of the characters.

I loved the Cores, and how you wrote their personalities. You gave them a little bit more dimension than we saw in the game, and your voices were well formed for them. GLaDOS however, I felt had too much emotion attached to her. She was always very clinical with her emotions in the game, and even in the depths of her hatred at Chell never raised her voice. She was always cold and collected in her rage.

And along that point, how was GLaDOS abducting people from the surface? Surely gratitude to Chell wouldn't stop her from doing it again, even if she had new cores to play with (humans are a lot more complex than programmed personalities; makes for more data variation). How did she even get them in the first place?

What was the turrets' goal? I never quite figured out what the point was of the King, or what they were even doing. It took me a solid two rereads to figure out what the Intelligence Core was doing, but a lot of the battle at that point was messy and hard to follow. For that matter, why didn't Chell let the turrets succeed? Or the Cores? I think I would have been happy if the cores weren't reduced to torturous testing. Some of them were nice.

The biggest reason that I read this story was because I was fascinated by a Wheatley that couldn't speak. And you did a good job exploring that dynamic, as well as the relationships between the main characters. I think I would have liked it more if you had left him mute. The character development you had written revolved around that point, and easily removing the impediment like that felt like such a cop out. I have to imagine that in the glimpses of the world you described, that the core units would have a tough time surviving. Any damage at all... and they were up a creek if they couldn't fix it.

All of that being said, it was a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. Thank you for writing it! :)
