Chell 01 - Video and Text

[testsubject1]

[Oh look. It's a new student. Who came right after graduation. Oops. But she fiddles around with the webcam, curious about the technology. Her face shows a mixture of wonder and apprehension, hidden behind the facade of a cold stare.

She fiddles with the device more and it switches off. She decides to communicate in text.]

Hello. I'm a new student here, though it seems the school year just ended.

[GLaDO visibly sighs, looking a bit annoyed...and perhaps almost pleading.]

Look, I don't like this any more than you do. In fact I like it less because I'm the one stuck in an inferior body. But we need to put our differences aside for the sake of a common goal.

[And perhaps this is the closest thing to an overt insult or a defense of her character that Chell says. But it's logical.]

Humans can do more than potatoes.

[did_well_enough]

And computers can do more than humans. But that wasn't the point I was making.

[Chell rolls her eyes again, unseen to GLaDOS. It's true, though... Thank God GLaDOS isn't a computer right now. The whole school would be engulfed in neurotoxin, if that was the case.]

No it wasn't.

Oh good, so you are capable of following civil conversation.

[Sarcastic as usual, but what else would Chell expect from her.]

At any rate, we've derailed our discussion enough. As such, I'm going to summarize this so you don't get confused: you and I work as a team, find a way out of here, and go our separate ways. That means you go back to wherever and I go back to my facility.

Are we in agreement?

[testsubject1]

Yes.

[did_well_enough]

Good. If you need to contact me for whatever reason, I'm usually in the Computer Lab.
