A distant voice sounded, as vision came back. Everything was in ruins, certain things were decaying, others were weathered and eroded from disuse. Wires reconnected, and metal scraps were quickly welded to her. A bright yellow optical glared down at the unfortunate duo, who seemingly fell into this trap.
"Oh, It's you... It's been a long time..." It was strange to hear her own voice again, everything seemed different. Even her hull felt odd. It truly had been a long time. "How have you been?... I've been really busy being dead.. After you MURDERED me."
Two large claws came down from the railing, one, grabbing the small core, the other, grabbing the young woman. Chell.. Yes, that was her name, if she remembered correctly. The core struggled in her grasp, when finally, she crushed his side and cast him off to the other side of the AI chamber, but she didn't care about him right now.
All that mattered right now was Chell. She was about 27 years old, just out of cryogenic storage, black hair, and light grey eyes, from the looks of it. Nowhere in her files did it call her 'mute' but she never really talked. It was either a fear reaction or just a stubbornness issue.
"We've said a lot of things you're going to regret, but we can put our differences behind us. For science. You monster." GLaDOS followed the wire around the room, her gazing eye never leaving the test subject. "Though, I must say, since you went to the liberty of waking me up, you must really, really love to test. I love it too... there's just one small thing we need to take care of first." The incinerator grate slowly slid open, the metal grinding with effort.
The claw released and she fell down the shaft. GLaDOS looked around the chamber, surveying the damage. A low moan came from the corner, where she discarded the small core. She picked it up carefully and pulled it toward her, and his small optic turned on and stared at her for a moment before reacting.
"Oh bloody hell, this is it, isn't it? Android hell! No! Nononono! I did nothing wrong, I assure you! I followed the laws of robotics, one hundred percent..." He continued on for a few moments before calming down. He seemed tired, but continuing efforts.
"Listen to me.. Ehm.. Metal Ball-"
"My name is Wheatley."
"Okay, Wheatley. This is not android hell, you simply malfunctioned. You're fine... fine as fine can be, to say the least." Her eyes once again scanned Wheatley. She thought it over for a moment before continuing on.
"You woke me up?"
"W-well... yes and no, I didn't mean to.. we were just trying to get out, really!" He flinched as she got right in front of his forehead, their eyes matching each other.
"I feel like.. we need to talk about things." She eyed the small core intently.
