When I woke up in that small, glass room, I had two questions on my mind. Why was I in here, and how do I get out? The room itself wasn't too unpleasant. It was well lit, and even had a radio in the background. There was a timer in the room counting down from 60 seconds.
"Hello, welcome to the Aperture Science Enrichment Center. We hope your brief detention in the relaxation vault has been a pleasant one." blared a monotone computer voice. I jumped back a little; surprised at the sudden noise. I thought about asking something, but the computer seemed to be talking. "Although the primary goals of the Enrichment Center is fun and knowledge, severe injuries may be sustained throughout the activities."
I decide to ask "What sort of injuries?"
"Nothing in particular, some of the more interesting ones can include (gibberish) and cake." she replied. "The portal leading out of here will open in 3… 2… 1…
A strange orange ring opens in the wall leading out. I notice I walk out through a blue ring out of the box. I see myself in the the glass box. I notice I am thinner, donning an orange jumpsuit. As I walk out, I hear the robot say "After you complete the testing, you will meet other test subjects for a game". I walk out of the room.
The next room I am in is empty except for a button on the floor. The door leading out is shut with a blue line leading to the button. I inspect the button further,and realize that when I step on it the door opens with an orange line leading up to it. I step off to leave, but the door closes. I start to lose all hope when a cube falls from the ceiling. The cube was a plain gray with indents on the side. It weighed almost 100 pounds, about the size of a child. I realized that I could put it on the button and get out myself. I did just that, and surprisingly, it worked.
Once I got out the computer told me "I see you have discovered the benefits of the Aperture Science Weighted Companion Cubes"
I ask her jokingly "What constitutes the weight in these things"
"Recyclable materials" she replies tacitly.
Not wanting another vague answer, I board the elevator. I pass a weird blue wall into it. I asked the robot what it was and she just said something about dental fillings. I think i should have listened better.
The next room had a small gun in the middle of it, and an unreachable door on a ledge way above it. I walked down a flight of stairs to the middle of the room, and grabbed the gun to discover three buttons on it. I see two ovals on the console, one blue and one orange, and a square gray button. I try pressing the gray one, but it seems to be stuck. The blue one spat out a ring in the wall. When I tried to go through it like in the first room, it wouldn't let me through. Feeling angry, I shoot a orange one on the ledge to see what would happen.
As soon as I know it, the blue portal lets me through the orange portal to get, and I go through to the next portal. As I board the elevator, the robot tells me my meeting with the other testing subjects. I hear a laugh.
