The rest of the crew assembled on the Observation Deck to meet the latest editions to their numbers. After the revelation that their worlds are gone, many of them are even more eager to see people they knew from home.

Several people are set up near the doors to provide the new people with omnicoms and comm rings. New crew-mates might see ( Read more... )

( There had been a few things going on in her head at the moment, and suddenly something clicked in a pretty abrupt way. )

The infiltration team has had a long, hard slog through everything GLaDOS is capable of throwing in their way. Lasers, pitfall traps, rooms with mildly toxic gas, anything that she can spring on them with minimal prep time at her disposal and whilst at the mercy of the path they blast through the walls.

This ship was still a dangerous place. There were a lot of things that were out of their control, and problems they could manage, but few that they could fix. One of the biggest ongoing problems was GLaDOS, who routinely caused crew members to disappear, some for good.

It cut into his vacation time, but it was a small price to pay to get some business done, and make a few connections that he'll be able to call on later. Besides, with 99% of the crew off the ship, ( Read more... )

Something...odd is happening on the ship. Plant-like protrusions are occasionally sprouting in places throughout the ship ( Read more... )

At this point of the day (whenever that was), the halls were usually quiet. Usually there wasn't a sound to be heard as most people were off doing something in the various parts of the ship to occupy their time.

This time, however, is different.

Out of nowhere, along one of the walls in one of the corridors, a doorway opens up that wasn't there ( Read more... )

With little more fanfare than a sputt! noise, Lucca Ashtear was ejected back into the Hub of the ship.

"Thank you for participating in our scientific study!" GLaDOS chirped. "You may now proceed to the Living Area. Cake will be available for your consumption there."

Lucca would be disappointed, though. There was no cake. However, she the Hub ( Read more... )
