Hi again! So, it's been pointed out to me that I've been neglecting my fanfic profile, so I sorted through some stuff I had lying around on my computer and found a few chapters of this. ^^

Basically, set after Portal 2. And please forgive me ahead of time, because I know absolutely nothing about the other (surprise) refrence I make in here. That's more in later chapters, though.

For now, here's chapter 1.

Disclaimer: I don't own Portal. Though I wish to hell that I did...

Enjoy!


Wheatley looked around and let out a mechanical sigh, his internal motors whirring out of sheer boredom. In the background the Space Core continued its incessant rambling.

"Space…space…space…so much space…gotta see it all…space…space…space…"

Tuning that out, Wheatley glanced around, looking at ALL the stars…

AGAIN.

"Space…space…so much space…stars…space cops…"

SURE space was…interesting, but after being stuck in the void for a month with that ridiculous Space Core rambling on and on and ON about BLOODY SPACE…!

"Space cops can see us…play it cool…they're coming this way…anyone have space doughnuts?"

Another sigh, and Wheatley focused his attention on Earth.

So small from up here…

He vaguely wondered that if Aperture had been visible from above ground, if he would be able to see it.

"Space cops see us…they're coming this way…gonna go to space jail…in space car…"

Those thoughts drifted away, and Wheatley turned around to look back out at the stars.

It was then that he realized the 'space cops' that Space Core had been rambling about referred to the giant ship that was headed their way...with a conspicuously familiar logo on the side…


"Attention Black Mesa Staff, prepare for collection and retrieval of unidentified space debris."

Employees rushed around, preparing holding containers for said 'space debris'.

A claw extended from the ship, expertly nabbing the two odd spheres, both of which seemed to be struggling to escape it.

The captain watched as the robots were taken into the ship, then focused his attention on another camera that showed the Space Debris Retrieval Dock.

A group of scientists had taken the spheres and were now transferring them to a laboratory for further investigation. He let out a sigh.

Those robots…only one other company had anywhere near the amount of money needed to create such technology…

APERTURE.

His thoughts were interrupted however, as their intern - a thin, nerdy-looking young man with scruffy blonde hair that fell to almost his shoulders, and big, deep hazel eyes - ran into the room, panting.

"Sir," he reported, "they seem to be sentient."

The captain gave a second of thought on the matter before turning back to the multitude of screens before him.

"Interrogate them. Bribe them. Take them apart of you have to. I want to hear everything they know about THAT PLACE."


Short chapter is short.

But look at it this way, shorter chapters mean more updates, right?
Right?

Anyway, reviews are greatly appreciated, and thanks for reading!

Goodnight all~
