Hel- [CRASH. Whoever made the call just dropped their phone. There's some scrabbling and clattering before the voice speaks again, firm but hesitant.] Spawn of a glitch, I hope I haven't broken this thing - Hello? Can anyone hear this transmission?

Sam? Flynn? Anyone.

[In spite of herself, GlaDOS is glad to hear from Quorra. It's been a few days, and...well, talking with Flynn had actually worried her a little.]

Quorra. Are you all right?

isoalgorithm July 17 2011, 03:24:34 UTC

[The voice is familiar only in that it's modulated and slightly mechanical. Plenty of voices on the Grid sound like that.]

...Who is this? Are you a program? [That's strange, because she's fairly certain this is the User world.]

disregardadvice July 17 2011, 03:38:20 UTC

[If one is really listening, there's a sharp intake of breath over the line...then a long silence. When she speaks again, her voice is very, very quiet.]

...I am the Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System. GlaDOS.

You....

...You don't remember me, do you?

isoalgorithm July 17 2011, 03:46:00 UTC

[An entire operating system? Quorra's sure she would remember meeting one of those. Unless more than just her arm was damaged in the fight...]

No, I'm sorry, I don't. Did we meet on the Grid?

You alright over there, Q?

isoalgorithm July 17 2011, 03:25:36 UTC

[...That isn't Flynn's voice, and he's the only one who calls her Q. What is going on?]

Sorry, have we met?

crownedape July 17 2011, 03:28:11 UTC

...It's me, Monkey. You don't remember me?

isoalgorithm July 17 2011, 03:29:42 UTC

Remember you from what? Were you at the End of Line?

Energy springs don't exist outside the Grid, Quorra. [Here's Flynn, barely containing his joy.]

isoalgorithm July 17 2011, 03:45:32 UTC

Flynn?

You sound...different. What happened?

arcadeboss July 17 2011, 04:10:50 UTC

Yeah, it's me. I'm the same as I was last time we saw each other, Q. What happened to you? I couldn't find you at all yesterday. Your stuff was gone, I couldn't find you at all, your number--[deep breath]

No, don't worry about that, never mind. It's good to hear from you.

isoalgorithm July 17 2011, 04:13:21 UTC

[Have a long, confused pause, Flynn.]

...are you feeling okay, Flynn? You weren't damaged too, were you?

[Oh no...] Your disc is gone, isn't it?

...Quorra?

You're back!

isoalgorithm July 17 2011, 05:18:32 UTC

I am? [Color her confused forever.]

escapedpandora July 17 2011, 05:21:02 UTC

You were gone yesterday-- number gone from the phone book and everything.

isoalgorithm July 17 2011, 05:22:06 UTC

[Why do people keep talking to her like she's been here before?]

Phone book?

Well, well well. If you stick your finger into an electrical socket, I'm sure you'll have all the energy you'll need.

isoalgorithm July 17 2011, 07:02:43 UTC

I'm not sure I'm AC/DC compatible.

vectornake July 17 2011, 07:11:44 UTC

Can't hurt to try, now can it?

isoalgorithm July 17 2011, 07:14:11 UTC

Actually, it could. I'd run the risk of overloading my systems.

But thank you for the suggestion.
