Have you ever been forced to live your life as a test subject? Let me tell you, it's not pretty. You see, I was adopted and used as a test subject for a not-so-little Science Lab known as Aperture Laboratories. I can't remember much from my childhood, and I honestly can't remember who adopted me.

But anyways, being a test subject is hard. It's always either success, or death if you prefer. I'm always being told that. I've gone through dozens of test chambers, and I'm probably not even close to finishing. I know what you're thinking. "Run away and call for help!" Well you should know that a computer known as GLaDOS is basically running this whole DAMN facility. She controls the doors, the walls, everything. There is basically no hope for escaping. Plus, they ripped out my vocal chords as soon as I signed up for this shit. GLaDOS honestly is cruel. I never get to rest from all the testing that she heaves onto me. It's always chamber after chamber. Why the hell do I have to keep testing? The portal gun works, in case you didn't know.

Oh, what's a portal gun?

It's just what it is. A portal gun. You pop a portal in one spot, and another in a different area. Walk through one portal, come out the other. It's as simple as that, honestly.

Anyways, you know how I told you about success or fail? This is one of those tests. Neurotoxin was filling up the room, and I couldn't find any place to pop a portal. I mean, they've modified it all. I can't just put a portal anywhere. The exit was so far away, and there was no way to get to it. No "sunlight bridge" or any of that crap. So you know what? I gave up. If I'm just going to spend the rest of my life testing, what's the point? I threw my twenty-five pound portal gun off to the side and laid face down on the cold, tiled floor. I took in a deep breath of neurotoxin.

You know what GLaDOS? I thought to myself. Find someone else to do your testing. I closed my eyes and waited for my demise to come over me, but a cold metallic arm dragged me by the legs.

"Enough of that, Chell." Said a robotic voice. "Maybe some cake ought to bring you back to your senses."

AN: I just finished Portal 2. It's an amazing game, and I loved every moment of it. Anyway, the Flock will get included in probably the next chapter.
