[Written messily, quickly, and before he smashes Travis' hand with a tire iron:]

I think I might have found it.

I need someone to check my research. Come to think of it--I never did have that meeting I talked about.

I'll have to think about this.

I have wanted to meet you for quite some time. I never thought I would get the chance.

Is she speaking or writing? Just out of curiosity (Gordon's stuff is always written jsyk) hev_interloper January 24 2010, 20:39:21 UTC
I'm sorry; I'm afraid I don't know who this is.

She has no hands, so I'd assume spoken all the time for her. ex_android_ January 24 2010, 20:43:11 UTC
I know you only by reputation, but I understand that you do not know me.

I am Aperture Science's experimental research assistant, the Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System.

Okay! hev_interloper January 24 2010, 20:45:26 UTC
I know you by reputation as well. I just can't say I recognized your voice, sorry.

Though I have to ask--what reputation is that, exactly?

Isn't it obvious? Opening a superportal to another world. The enslavement and suppression of the human race. Your rise to becoming their deity and savior. What other reputation could I mean?

I'm afraid the last part--it doesn't make much sense.

I just barely made it out of Black Mesa alive, and then I was brought here.

Ah. It appears I was brought from a further point in space-time than yourself.

I wish you luck upon your return, Free Man.

[The way she says his name makes him deeply uncomfortable, and he doesn't respond for a few moments.]

Apparently so. Thank you, I guess.

[It's good to know that the world wasn't totally gone, but... enslaved? Hmm.]

I guess Aperture Science faired well enough, then?

[Now it's her turn to be uncomfortable. Does her killing everyone count as faring well?]

I...

[An awkwardly long pause, as she tries to make a lie, but can't. Someone is starting to realize their loss.]

...you could say that.

Depending on your point of view.

Point of view is everything, I suppose.

Then again, as someone that works with particles you can't even detect using regular means, I guess I have a unique perspective myself.

[OHTHANKGODACHANGEOFSUBJECT!]

Oh, yes, quite, indeed.

[That was a close one...]

[YOU'RE AN EXCITABLE LITTLE MACHINE, AREN'T YOU?]

At any rate... I look forward to speaking with you more.

[Even though he's not entirely sure he can trust her.]

[WANNA MAKE SOMETHING OF IT?]

I as well, Free Man. Good luck with whatever it is you're doing.

[...NO NOT REALLY. JUST AN OBSERVATION]

Thank you.
