Inside the chamber are many things, but they all look fairly innocuous. Above you are GLaDOS's cameras, just watching.
Waiting.
When the doors open, the test will begin.]

She tries to teleport out, but finds that... she can't. Just plain can't. No explanation, just like there's no explanation for this room.
And all at once, Arkady's glaring, eyes and pretty much all of her glowing a bright purple, and everything not securely bolted down (and some things that are) is suddenly flying all the fuck over, bashing into walls and such like an impromptu hurricane.
But somehow, the room seems to be surviving thoroughly intact, and Arkady's fury dies down as she begins to feel much too ineffective for her liking.
Step 1: Escape. Failure. Step 2: Break everything. Also failure.
Step 3?
She peeeeeers at the camera, the only thing that appears to be moving.]

As GLaDOS spoke, the walls in the room shifted. Apparently all of the plates were hooked to moving arms. As they shifted, the damage from the earlier outburst was replaced and the surface of the room was left immaculate. Can't fire a portal onto an uneven surface, after all, that would be madness. The cameras and turrets, however, had all been off-lined.
It was a setback, but not a particularly terrible one.
"The following [ TEST CHAMBER ] will challenge you to utilize the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device in order to progress."
Though the turrets were gone, there was a healthy amount of putrid looking, green water, crackling with the hum of electricity, and several of the wall plates had been replaced with heavy metal spikes. It did not appear to be a cheerful room.

Her eyes dart from wall to wall, then from the edge in front of her to the edge she's meant to reach, much too far to jump.]
No fair. I can't teleport here!
[But wait, there's this random contraption on her arm...
She waves it around a little, then pokes and prods at it. That usually seems to work with the bracelet things.] I don't know how to work these things, I haven't even seen any in a long long time.

"To utilize [ THE DEVICE ] take aim and depress the►INITIALIZATION SWITCh within the maaaaaaaaaain housing. Connect the two Portals in order to travel through the obstacles."
That was quite enough help. GLaDOS's cameras refocused on Arkady. Perhaps some further encouragement.
"At the request of the SUBJECT, following testing, there will be [ VARIABLE FOOD: FISHSTICKS ]."
