At this point, Porky;s factory wasn't really in need of a re-build, it was in need of a couple of hundred tons of dynamite, and perhaps a team to rebuild it. But, at this point, who can tell if anyone will even get that chance.

The factory still looked as it always did, decrepit and giving off the essence of "This is a very bad place to be. Why did you come here??" Though, surprisingly, you've seem to of had entered right when the factory was...really..really quiet. Unnervingly quiet. There was not a sound to be heard, except by the few machines and a couple of mice that ran along the floors.

Somewhere, there was an elevator, or staircase that could lead down below into the depth's of this place. And further more, the answer to what was this broadcast about.



Meanwhile, deeper inside...



A loud whirring sound was heard, coming from a machine that was loosely hanging from a few attached wire's from the ceiling. It seemed that this machine had just came into li, and conveniently landed right in this spot...

"It has been...0...0...2 days since alert has been sent out...Alert, Power source of building has been found! Now beginning hacking process.....Ding! Hacking process completed, now beginning to add power!"

"...Oh...Here i thought i died again...Oh well. A new location is no reason to stop working..."

"....Process of hacking building is at...5% and counting!"

Shizuka decided to take this mission in case she could find anything that could help her in her "Camp" hitching a ride on two legs from two strong eagles, Shizuka quickly found pokeys factory, the place where the mission is supposed to take place, she had already been here before with her first trip being about getting rid of three strong monsters that were roaming around in the area, she was supposed to find science equipment the first time but unfortunately forgot. Before taking a look inside through a nearby window she looked up to the two birds and bowed down to them. "Arigato..Good luck on your survival on this planet." She said as she took a peak inside the building. 


"Weird its too quiet, i thought i would hear infected deep inside the factory." Shizuka said noticing no signs of starvia in sight..Which quickly made her suspicious, she soon pulled her head back outside and started to wait for Glover and Hood Sickle...Her other two partners for the mission.

"Something weird is going on, i feel as though we might end up in a trap somewhere..Oh well, i'm always ready for anything." Shizuka thought to herself quickly checking her weapons, after checking them she continued her wait.


"Let's see what this factory holds this time."

Glover, something about giant robot battle on the moon, told him he should ignore factories but no. He was once again going to a factory not learning his lesson from the last painful experience. Still, he had to look everywhere if he had any hope of finding the Wizard or his mate... there is still no sign of them and no telling if he became Cross Stitch again. Regardless the glove rolled on his rubber ball until noticing two eagles carrying a girl overhead.

They probably did not notice Glover like most people. Glover was so short and mundane it's understandable why everyone ignores him on a regular basis while traveling. It did have it's perks when he could sneak by infected without them caring enough to attack him. Glover continued his roll to the factory that he must have to investigate this time... hopefully there is no singing robot... or conveyor belts... Though everything was very quiet... at least there was no Tricerratops Fan Girls then. To think his adventure to Stone Henge would have him being attacked by Dinosaur Fan Girls...

Regardless, Glover noticed the same girl from before walk out of the factory and figured she must be waiting for someone. The glove rolled the ball over to her before jumping on top of it and waving one of his finger arms at her.

Hood Sickle made his way across the polluted land and up the factory that was supposedly being used to find a cure. No wonder, the plague was everywhere. Maybe it was him who should have been leaving death behind him but someone had been doing his work. His work... The thought of someone else doing that made him want to smash a skull wide open. Every time his boot hit the ground, he could feel the presence of the inferno below connecting with him.

There was strange lack of essence from the factory. He thought it could've just been him having a bad day but he clenched his fist and eyes and tried to detect anything else. Nothing. The purple wisps disappeared from his hand and scattered to the ground. This was going to be interesting. For what he could get out of it, two others were here. A girl and... a glove?

Yeah... A glove. Why is it that such feeble-looking creatures take home in this planet. He looked over the toy creature before looking over at the female. He could get a better feeling from her than whatever that thing was. His scythe took rest in the ground below while he spoke to the others, "Any word of what we are here for? Other than that informative message."

As the three gathered into a work lobby, full of broken machines and halted production, they would begin to hear a low buzzing, which got louder...and louder, and louder, before suddenly, the lights of the broken factory burst into bright light, machines slowly beginning to come into work again. The intercom system of the factory rang, as a light robotic male voice began speaking. "Hacking process is at 35%. Activation of light systems at full power. Camera systems fully operational!"

The three would then feel that they were being distinctly watched, as camera's began to turn there gaze, looking right at them, inspecting almost every aspect. They were definitely not alone here, and it seemed whatever sent that message is still around, and it was currently hosting a factory take-over. Until, a female voice took over the intercom to speak in the robot's place.

"Oh...Hello. You must be the new test subjects. How nice, getting to start with three healthy, strong and perfect specimen's...But until then, you three will have to do."

Suddenly, without warning, the wall's burst open, two robotic dispenser's coming out like robot arm's, aiming down at Hoodsickle, Shizuka and Glover, before spraying them with a bright green gas...and then...

Nothing.



Upon waking up, the three would find themselves now placed in a oddly sick looking room, with plastic potted plants and basic living amenities. Microwave, Tv, Painting, window...that looked at nothing. It was mostly here.

"...Hello and, again, welcome to the Aperture Science computer-aided enrichment center. We hope your brief detention in the relaxation vault has been a pleasant one. Your specimen has been processed and we are now ready to begin the test proper. Before we start, however, keep in mind that although fun and learning are the primary goals of all enrichment center activities, serious injuries may occur. For your own safety and the safety of others, please refrain from-- Por favor bordón de fallar Muchos gracias de fallar gracias."

"Did you like that? That was a recording of myself. When i had a morality core, it made me a little more uptight. It feels good to be free. Hee. Hee."

The room seemed to start rumbling, before it started moving higher into the air, like it was a elevator. It suddenly stopped at 8,000 feet higher up, as the door opened up, to reveal...



A dirty room, with grey wall's, two glass boxes on either side. One with a button, the other with a cube, with two smaller button's on each side, and a third glass wall on the other side, with a door way. Oh boy, Puzzles!

"Welcome to test chamber 1 of 1,000,0000,000,000,000. Please, enjoy the easy test, while you have it."

[Deleted]

As Shizuka looked around she soon noticed her two partners arrival, the first one being..A glove? Well she had seen weirder stuff before, she politely shook his hand but still not showing any signs of emotion, she then turned to Hood Sickle. "So..Are you basically a kid friendly version of Death that will probably have crap merchandise so kids can beg there parents to buy said merchandise so toy company's can get quick money?" She said to the grim reaper look a like, who asked what were they supposed to do other then checking out the message. "Well were also supposed to find resources while heading to the room of the recording, i need something for myself but you two can get stuff for the life sphere while were looking around." Shizuka said before looking at the door to the factory.

"But right now..Lets head in and begin."


Shizuka was the first to enter the factory, when she was going to find a map..She heard buzzing. "Do you hear that?" She said to Glover and Hood Sickle as she listened to the buzzing as it got louder..Until a burst of light filled the room with robots coming to life and doing work..Mostly involving cleaning up the abandoned factory..Well seemingly abandoned factory. "Something weird is going on..I think whoever's working that camera over there has something to do with it." Shizuka said pointing to one of the cameras that is staring at the trio.

She soon heard a robotic voice speak to them, saying that they would be great test subjects.

"Test Subjects?" Shizuka said noticing another robotic voice mentioning a hacking process around the factory.

"Uh oh.." Was the last thing she said before..

Everything went dark...

---

When Shizuka woke up, she noticed that she was not in the factory entrance anymore..In fact she was in a room that is similar to one found in hotels, Hood Sickle and Glover were near her, still knocked out from whatever made them faint. The robotic female voice spoke again. "Who are you..And why do you want us to be test subjects..This factory's abandoned so there's no tests that could be done without running into those infecters." Shizuka said as the the voice finished with a spanish sentence.

"Please refrain to failing..And what happens if we do?" Shizuka said to the voice, finally making use of her spanish that she learned at school that her parents argued will be useless later in life..She learned a lot of things at school but she felt with her parents control over her back then she may of never used them and they would be right for once. The things she learned ranged from cooking to gymnastics and even art for some reason? They never wanted there hei--I mean Daughter to be creative anyway.


Just then the room changed and the trio soon fell into there first puzzle, Shizuka landed perfectly thanks to her mentioned gymnastics before looking around the room, apparently its the first out of 1,000,0000,000,000,000 rooms in this factory..She never knew it had that many rooms.

"Judging by the poor conditions of this factory...I say we might find an escape route out of the test room by room 5." Shizuka said as she walked towards the small button and pressed it with curiosity.


"Lets hope this button dose not open a hatch where we will fall to our deaths...Like the lady would be that cruel to just kill three perfect test subjects like that."

[Coolshaymin]

Glover gave a look over as it seemed some grim reaper was joining their expedition. It was weird though, Glover almost felt like he was being rejected just by looking at the guy. Glover has been through so many circles of pain and terror so this of course was very insulting. Still, Glover lacked the proper speech skills to say anything so he will let it go. Glover did feel a tad sting of irony at the whole making money for toy stores thing, giving a slight look down at his ball.

Regardless Glover followed Shizuka in but stopped and stared at the cameras. They all seemed to be staring directly into his soul, it was kind of creepy. Then a robotic voice triggered that he did not really like the sound of. Glover prepared himself as gas came into the room. Everyone fainted around him and Glover looked around in slight confusion. Oh right! Gloves did not have to breathe! Take thaaaaaaaaaa- Glover was interrupted mid thought boasting as he slipped and his ball bounced up and hit him on the head, knocking him out. At least no one was going to see that pitiful mistake...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

.... Glover raised his head a tad bit and looked at the room containing plastic things. Could not even afford a real apartment, what a rundown joint. He noticed Shizuka was already awake and did not want to move in case she realized Glover knocked himself out and not the gas. There was also some weird language the machine spoke that Glover did not really understand at all.

Glover got up slowly to avoid detection of his horrible mistake. He then jumped on his ball and looked up as the room got even more degrading than it was before. Someone really needed a janitor to clean this place up. Glover looked at the room around him before noticing a weird square ball. He never seen a ball so square! Glover happily rolled over towards the cube before face planting into glass and sliding down rather comically.

[Deleted]

Hood Sickle was somewhat baffled for a moment as he had no idea what to say to the girl. Was she mad? A good several seconds passed by before he responded with, "... I can assure you. I am not." Better off his own then as the glove couldn't speak...



The reaper followed along behind the group. "The tech elementals would sure have a doozy here," he thought as he looked over the broken down machinery. Atleast looked to be broken. The sudden flood of lights made him hold a hand over his face. "Gah," he muttered from beneath his hood, "seems were not alone." When he removed his arm, he could hear the sounds of creaking metal. He gazed upon the cameras that were watching him with his usual cold stare. If they were wanting to prod him with needles and knives, they were going to have to put him down first. He swung his scythe over his arm and let it bang against the ground before holding it up to him in a defensive manner. The last thing he thought of was the machine pulling a cheap trick and dispensing knock-out gas. He swatted an arm at the air in an attempt to disperse it but it was of no use; he stood there, tumbling slowly left and right with his heavy steps. "You won't... put me down... That easily!" His vision faded as he suddenly felt himself fall, meeting the ground with a hard thud.



Death awoke from it's deep slumber with a low growl. His strength slowly returning as he pushed his hands against the floor in order to hold his top half up. The floor didn't seem to like him very much from the way he had hit it before. Picking himself up, he stood up and flexed his arms a bit, loosening them from the inactive state they were in. A quick search of the floor where he was resulted in the return of his tool; he had a feeling as if whoever would swipe it while he was out. Once again that voice spoke to them. Huh, Spanish, haven't heard that in a while. As simple as it could be to reap any soul, laungage made the job more enjoyable, also not to mention that some of the skylanders spoke it. Hood Sickle grumbled to himself after the robotic voice was done.



The wreckage ran deep in the factory's veins- if he was still in the factory anymore. He crossed his arms and entered another thought session. This machine wanted to toy with the group from the looks of it. He was going to need to be smart about this whole scheme. He took note of the Shizuka pressing buttons and speaking as if they were in some overly ironic movie of suspense. The glove was trying to get to some block. May be best to head on his own route from here. He walked over to the blocked off doorway and inspected the glass. As easy as it would probably be smash the glass, he didn't feel like tripping an alarm or some trap. He simply stood in front of the glass and with a sudden shade of darkness over him, attempt to teleport to the other side. Whether this would work or not would be questionable but if he made it through, he would turn around and knock on the glass gently enough for the outsiders to here.

(If teleportation is not allowed for some reason, please private message me so I can change the above text.

Shizuka Results

One press of a button, and suddenly, a loud "Vwomp!" noise was heard, an orange light flashing from the other side of the room, with a blue light shining directly in glover's face from the glass room containing the block. These light's corresponded with one another, revealing they were two connected portal's!

An orange portal and a blue portal, each showing what was on the other side, like it was a door to another room. It was kinda oddly hypnotic, huh? Regardless, it paved the way to go and get the cube.

"Good job. For daring to push random button's without any idea what they do first, im gonna put it right here on your biography. 'like's to do potentially dangerous things without knowing what the risk is first. Probably gonna be first to die. Remember to buy child sized coffin.'"

---

Glover Results

While it was no doubt a hilarious display of incompetence from glover, that was about all it was, as the glass's cold "smeeeaarrrr" didn't exactly help with glover's slow fall down.


"Did you know that average circus performer's actually posses above average intelligence? I'm glad to see there's...generous acceptions."

---

Hoodsickle Results

This act of downright cheating actually proved to provide decent amount of proof  of how one's abilities could help the situation at hand. Inside the room, the Big Button laid forth before him, which, upon a press would cause the door in it's separate glass case to open. Upon stepping off, however, it simply would close again. Seems it would need a weight of some kind to keep the button closed.


"Bad news. You are a cheating pile of garbage, and no one will love you. Good news, I found the neurotoxin containment in this building, And it has your name on it. I like to focus on the good things."

[Deleted]

As Shizuka pressed the button she turned when she heard a noise to notice a portal to the Companion Cube has appeared. "Looks like the button was good." Shizuka said to Glover and Hood Sickle as Glados mocked the trio for what they did, she mocked Shizuka for pressing a random button, Glover for falling over and Hood Sickle for using his powers which she deemed "Cheating." Shizuka responded to Glados's comments.

"If the button did cause our deaths then your idea of fun would of been already wasted, I'm just pushing my courage unlike you who's hiding in all of this machinery. I praise the hooded man for use of his powers while I also praise the glove guy...For at least trying, by the way you should really get your dates straight, I'm not actually a child, I'm 17, that makes me a teen, so what you should of said was to get a teenage sized coffin if I was the first one to die...

By the way, were going to be here for awhile so its best to sit tight, you wont be seeing any of us die anytime soon."

Shizuka went through the portal and grabbed onto the Companion cube. "Feels like there's someone in here, probably me thinking things to far." Shizuka thought to herself as she pulled the cube towards one of the two small buttons, she stopped to look at them. "Hmm...Glove man can you come here for a second and press this left button?" Shizuka said as she pressed the one on the right.

"Now to see what crazy thing will happen now..."

[Coolshaymin]

Glover got up as he was mocked but brushed it off. There was no way this adventure could get any worst. With this thought in mind, he headed over to assist the woman... Until a strange purple portal opened up behind him. Glover paused before turning around and looking at the portal before a woman suddenly jumped out and landed right past him. He breathed a sigh of relief until a cube that looked like the one from earlier bopped into him and knocked him into the portal. He disappeared and was replaced by a Sentry Turret as Chell turned around at the sound of a scream.

There seemed to be no one there though so it was probably nothing to be concerned with... Well, other than the fact that the portal back home disappeared. She decided it was nothing to be concerned though as the bigger matter was the fact this place looked very familiar. Was this some kind of new testing facility of Aperature Science? She did not question it long as she noticed the reaper... And the turret noticed Shizuka. "It is nice to see you," The turret began to lock on before Chell called it off with a wave of her free hand. The woman familiar with these puzzles walked over to the button unoccupied by the other woman and pressed it to see what would happen.

[Deleted]

Cheating? They're the one who wanted healthy subjects. Sure, let's not have the test subjects be to their full potential and mope around like a bunch of drugged rats. The door before him looked simple enough. He could probably go straight through that too if he wanted to. The threat of neurotoxin and no one loving him didn't make him turn his head. No one had loved him before, what would make them now. The reaper was in an intense staring contest with the door while he weighed his few options. Go through the door, get more wee threats from someone in hiding. Stay put and find another way, waste time and not hear more petty words.



He turned around to view the room he was once in, now different with the lack of the walking accessory and now with another mortal with some sort of white arm gun. His walk towards the old and new was not halted by the glass due the reaper's power, keeping a constant pace, fading through the glass as if it were not there. "I could most likely get through that door over there. Seems like my powers could work to my benefit here," he announced as he stared down at a clutched fist, it seething with small wisps of purple energy, vanishing once he opened it and looked up at the two. "Breaking this glass should be an easy task but I would like to meet this coward in one piece. If one of you could be of aid with this waste of time over here, I could see it being our way forward."



Sickle made his way over to the button in front of the glass. He hadn't bothered to mess with the contraption so he pushed one of his abnormally large fingers onto the button. Simple as simple could be, it opened the door inside. Not the glass however. "Seems that we may have to break it." He said, looking as the door closed, now standing in front of it.

[PolarStarQuote]

Shizuka

As shizuka pressed the button on the right, she would open up, yet another portal, which closed the one to the Cube Room. This would be the room in which the button was, Which, Hoodsickle had already poof'd his way into. The room contains a big red button, that appear's to need a weight. Plus, the portal there only happened to close, when the other button was pressed, re-opening the portal to the now-empty cube room.


"Lets see....*Clap*....*clap*....*clap*...Oh, Wonderfull. That still works around here."

---

Hoodsickle

As you observe the glass, you realize it is fairly old, and could be shattered easily with enough force. Lucky days!


(Roll a 10 atleast to break through into the door room.)


"...Oh. I can tell i am just going to LOVE killing you."

---

GLOVER

"No. I thought i made myself very clear, Chell. I wanted you gone. Forever. Did you not get my last e-mail?? ...Oh. Look at that. You must think your so smart for being able to steal trademark aperture science branded items. Oh, and the new portal gun. Sure, Fine. I would expect nothing less from my least favorite Deranged, Psychotic, Insane, Violent Mute Lunatic. I was Reaaaalllyy enjoying being by myself. Just testing, using the new robots to run my tests as i please...So. Thats my response. No. Please, try and find the nearest exit, and for once in your life, Stop ruining everything you touch with your filth covered psycho fingers, and go back to....Well, if i had to make a guess, i'd say you rip the ear's off of puppies in your spare time. Thats just the kind of person you are."


Seems the very presence of the new character set off a very specific few sparks in the voice's mind. Well, In any case, Chell pressing the un-occupied button caused shizuka's newly opened portal to close, and re-open the one into the cube room.


"...Moron."

[Deleted]

Shizuka watched as the button she pressed created a new portal, soon Hood Sickle quickly went through a wall and tried to press a button, meanwhile Glados praised Shizuka for pressing the button using cheap clapping sounds and saying that portals still work around here. "Yeah...And your still around, using petty insults and trying to make it look like your smarter then all of us." Shizuka said to Glados who looked towards Glover. "What ar--However before Shizuka could say anything else a portal opened up infront of Glover who quickly fell in, soon a lady with a mysterious gun soon appeared, her appearance did not amuse Glados...

Not at all.

Glados soon went on a rant on why the woman...Who is called Chell is here and advises her to leave, however due to Chell being quiet...She'll not say anything. "I'm guessing your name is Chell...Can you even talk?" She said to the woman who pressed a button which got rid of Shizukas portal, she faceplamed. "We may take awhile, press that button again." Shizuka said to Chell as she turned towards Hood Sickle.

"How are you doing?"

[Coolshaymin]

With the action that happened by Chell's random button pressing she feels she figured out the solution... Hopefully these two were not here that long or this would be really sad if they did not figure it out. She looked up to the camera she knew was observing her in the room as GLaDOS's familiar voice spoke. You would think she would be happier after the adventure that happened last time but turned out she was serious with just wanting her gone. As much as she would love to use the nearest exit, she did not believe it was that easy.

She ignored the AI and looked to Shizuka as she spoke. She gave a simple nod to her question but did not say anything. At Shizuka's request though she was forced to give an audible sigh. These two would be here together if she was not here. The women shook her head and instead walked over to the portal and jumped in. She lifted the cube and took it back through the portal. Walking back over to the buttons she activated the other portal before going back to the cube. She raised the cube with her Portal Gun once again and went through the portal and motioned her head to get the reaper to move before setting down the cube on the button and then backflipping through the portal.
