Reawakening, part deux

[a_mere_child]

Finding all the parts of PIaDOS that actually contained her brain(s) was the hardest part. At least, Alyx hopes it was the hardest part. If it wasn't, that means she screwed up while wiring the AI back together, and that could spell disaster.

She supposes they'll find out in a minute.

"Okay, I'm going to connect the power now..."

"Ready for whatever happens, ma'am," says Shephard, squaring his shoulders and steeling himself. "Good luck."

Alyx nods, takes a deep breath, plugs in the last electrical lead, and switches the power on.

And five voices start hollering at once.

"OH GOD OH GOD WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE--"

"Hello and welcome to the Aperture Science High Latitude Research Vessel--"

"Error: error file not found, please replace operating system and reboot--"

"That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes--"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA--"

Crazier than a bag full of bats. Yep, that's the PIaDOS Shephard knows, all right.

"Hey, Pi?" he calls out, looking towards the ceiling speakers in lieu of having any idea where else to look. "Pi? It's me, Shephard. You okay there, girl?"
