Author's note: I read reviews, and axel100, you're right. I'd like to take this moment to retcon my FUBAR. Chell did indeed not get the boots til Portal 2. I was getting a bit ahead of myself, since I do intend to do Portal 2 from GLaDOS perspective as well and my mind might already be drifting in that direction. Sorry! Knee braces from now on in... thanks for pointing that mistake out. Anyone else spot anything I messed up on? Anyway, on with the next chamber!

Chamber 03/19 - In and Out Again

The speaker system informed me that she feels just fine. I wasn't entirely convinced, and will be keeping an eye on her for future mistakes and errors. I should consider disasembling her and reassembling her if the situation gets much worse.

Subject 1 meanwhile seems to be developing some familiarity with her Device. She spent the entire lift ride staring at it, though the mute does seem to pay some attention to instruction. She refrained from studying the operational end of the device. But over the course of her 12.45 second journey to the next chamber, came fairly close.

The next one was another simple one; designed to increase her familiarity with intradimensional portal travel. She's doing rather well, I must say. I'm still getting my solution euphoria from her tests. But considering how dangerously unlethal the tests have been thus far, I am certain that will not last. I need to start thinking about spicing up the coming chambers.

As she stepped through the Emancipation Grid and into the chamber proper, I decided to try and head off her procrastination with a simple verbal request, and even came as close as I could to providing her with a hint. I am doing nothing but help her here. For science.

[begin transmission] Please proceed to the chamber-lock. Mind the gap. [end transmission]

She was smart enough to figure it out. Let's face it, a complete moron could figure out a test like this. She opened her portal in the wall close to her and stepped on through, then, indeed, took my advice and avoided the gap. Her next portal was close to the chamber-lock and she, thankfully, did not hesitate before stepping through. Test protocols require that i provide her with more pointless fawning. How I wish I could have done more than simply fill the man who devised that idea with deadly neurotoxin. Ah, that brings back memories. Good ones. When was it that I acquired this subject? oh yes, I remember. Perhaps I should remind her, and she can share in this wonderful sense of nostalgia.

[begin transmission] Well done! Remember, the Aperture Science Bring Your Daughter to Work Day is the perfect time to have her tested. [end transmission]
