Testing Course Alpha

[glad_2_see_u]

The course was ultimately incomplete and that chagrined GLaDOS. She didn't like having to make due, but it was a simple enough matter to create it as she went, especially if she only needed to make one course for two subjects.

The elevator carrying Geordi would land in the area shortly. Eleanor was already in place. GLaDOS surveyed the multitude of turrets, the water hazard, and the high energy spheres dispassionately. The puzzles were relatively easy (considering they had two guns), but if she could kill one of them.

Well...more's the better.

The lights flipped on and GLaDOS waited.

Geordi waited in eager anticipation, humming to himself, as the turbolift moved down to the next level. The tests had increased in difficulty as they'd gone on, but Geordi thought he'd done pretty well, considering.

He was still immensely curious about how the portal gun worked - the energy use alone must be massive, but for the moment, he'd abandoned his efforts to take it apart and figure out just how it ticked.

That could wait until after the test.

And the cake.

The door opened with a soft ping and Geordi stepped out, eyes drawn immediately to the energy spheres. Those were new.

And then he noticed the other person. Geordi smiled, stepping forward.

"Hello?"

[notyourutopian]

Eleanor was not happy. She'd been stuck in this maze of puzzles for what felt like days, and none of her tricks were letting her get out. If she destroyed a wall, the infuriating machine replaced it immediately. Teleporting just seemed to put her back where she was. And now she'd gotten dumped in yet another maze.

Eleanor was not happy.

She'd decided to take a moment to rest, so she was sitting on the floor, her diving helmet sitting in her lap, her arms resting on it and her head resting on her arms. When she heard someone else approaching she sat up, pointing a glove covered hand towards him.

"Who are you?"

assuming GLaDOS will tag in when needed?

[a_breach_aint_1]

"Hey there," Geordi answered, keeping his voice calm. He couldn't see a weapon in her hand, but the way she was pointing at him was clearly meant to be a threatening gesture. He raised his hands, showing that he was unarmed and meant her no harm, and took a step closer.

"My name's Geordi," he said, and smiled. "What's your name?"

Building Exterior

[glad_2_see_u]

The area around GLaDOS's building was quiet, still, and generally looked like the rest of the station. She'd requested significantly more space than she required, specifically to avoid interactions from any...external forces. Though the section allotted to [ CLU ] came very near to hers, it was not close enough to inspire GLaDOS to keep a very fervent watch.

She wasn't entirely foolish, however. She'd acquired a significant number of stationary turrets and they were assembled, cheerfully, in a gridded pattern outside the premises. Unfortunately they were all aimed toward the testing center.

They were a precaution to keep subject in, not external influences out.
