Test Log Seventeen: How are you holding up?

[getsciencedone]

[GLaDOS has finally gotten back a regain. .... it's a potato. No, in fact it's a potato battery. She hates this place.]

You know, I'd almost forgotten what a horrible sense of humour this place had. But then they do things like this and it all comes flooding back.

Well if you're listening. Ha, ha. That's how funny I think you are. Why don't you find

[Is... is that woman struggling over binning a potato? Daniel stops to watch, intrigued.]

Has it gone bad?

[getsciencedone]

[There seems to be wires sticking out of it as well. GLaDOS looks over. Potato still in her hand.]

Bad?

[cuttlefidget]

Y-you know, when you leave them too long and they start growing little green s-sprouts all over the place and you c-can't eat them anymore s-so it's just waste of... of a good...

[Daniel, you sound stupid and should stop now.]

You know. Bad.

[getsciencedone]

Oh.

[Looking at the potato. Nope no green stuff.]

It seems fine.

[cuttlefidget]

Well then, why...?

Oh, the wires? I'm sure you could take those out and t-there wouldn't be that much damage.

[getsciencedone]

I can't take them out!

[Quickly panics. Yeah, there is more a reason behind her hesitation then it would seem.]

[cuttlefidget]

But...

[Okay, lady, you're acting just a little bit weird here.]

But you c-can't eat it with the wires in! Do you k-know what that would do to your s-stomach?

[getsciencedone]

[Congrats, you've managed to horrify GLaDOS]

I'm not going to eat it!

[cuttlefidget]

[wat]

2/2

[cuttlefidget]

B-but then... what...? I mean, the only other th-thing you'd use a potato for is m-making more potatoes... or... science experiments I g-guess but potato clocks are so...

[He peers a bit closer at the wires.]

You know, if it doesn't w-work, I can fix it. N-no need to throw it out.

[getsciencedone]

....It's a potato battery.

[cuttlefidget]

N-no I gathered that b-but... I mean...

W-well. Good for you for getting into science, I g-guess. Or is that your assigned child's project?

I thought school was out...

[getsciencedone]

.....I'm the science teacher here. And at home I run a large scientific testing and research facility.

[...getting into science...hmph.]

[cuttlefidget]

[Ooooooh sh- quick, backtrack!]

O-oh, um, well!

Don't you think it's m-mean to throw out a student's project j-just because it may not function properly?

[And the point, as it so often does, has soared majestically over Daniel's head like a cube caught in an excursion funnel.]

[getsciencedone]

.......

It's not a students potato. It is my potato.

[Just staring at the battery in her hand.]

....I was trapped inside here you know.

[cuttlefidget]

Ahahah excusemewhat?

[Now she's kind of starting to scare him. More than he's already scared.]
