It's just a small rusting shed! What's the amazing thing about it? It's practically abandoned and ready to break down into tiny little pieces! Why are you so obsessed about it?
Well, if these are your first thoughts then let me tell you how wrong you are! That's what you see from the outside. You haven't seen the inside yet! You haven't seen through the aperture. The hole. The tiny little shed. You haven't seen through it yet.
So let me show you, and let's go into the little aperture. Let me show you the wonders of this little hole.
See. Welcome to Aperture Science Laboratories. This is what's inside that tiny shed that you think is worthless. Funny, isn't it? It's only a little shed, but it's a lot bigger inside.
Let me tell you another thing, the facility runs down for miles! All locked up of course. Until she came along. But that's another tale to tell.
Aperture Science Laboratories started out as Aperture Science Innovators. This facility was originally an old salt mine, quite unbelievable, isn't it? From selling shower curtains, to working on the portal technology, from the quantum tunneling device to the sleek white form of the portal gun, from tiny AI companion cubes to the Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System. These are what Aperture had done.
This is Aperture and I'm proud of it. Dangerous and deadly as it may be, it is just enough to satisfy me. To satisfy everyone. Even you.
Now I must go. I have test chambers to solve. I have cans of beans to finish. It's nice to help someone see through the aperture that everyone neglected.
