My eyes close as I imagine what it will be like on the surface. And then the new leader of Aperture, who I won't tell looks like a literal dick while attached to GLaDOS' chassis, his laughter darkened and the elevator halted.
"Actually..." he mused. NO! NO NO NO! WHEATLEY! Please... I pounded on the elevator as he made it descend. I missed some of what he said in my panic.
"I DID this! Little Wheatley!" did he really want to downplay my work THAT much?
"You didn't do anything. She did all the work." GLaDOS' disabled core said. I was prepared to scream and make the first noise that wasn't of pain since entering Aperture but my vocal chords had frozen up. Just my luck, the first time I want to make a noise here and I can't.
"Oh, really? That's what the two of you think, is it? Well, maybe it's time I did something then." GLaDOS' core was pulled in by the transfer tools. A ding was heard and the hole opened, before Wheatley spoke again.
"Well... you really are a curious robot GLaDOS. You hate humans but build... thats too perfect." The hole closed again and GLaDOS screamed louder in pain and anger, the audio going from a more distorted robotic sound to something more human. I was even more frozen at the human like screams coming from the hole.
The hole opened again and a pale, white haired woman wearing a testing jumpsuit like mine and long fall boots. The woman looked extremely sore and embarrassed.
"See that? That is a human android GLaDOS built for herself. She despises humans yet built herself a human body! And now she is a test subject as well!" Wheatley laughed evilly again and I was, somehow more shocked. GLaDOS, Queen of Aperture and the biggest human hater known to man... well... woman. A petrified woman in an orange jumpsuit to be precise, had built herself a human like body. But why? My question remained unanswered as the humiliated AI spoke.
"I know you."
Wheatley looked back at the AI shocked.
"Sorry, what?" he looked confused and worried as the AI spoke. Did Wheatley have a big secret? My heart raced and I felt like it would jump out of my chest.
"The engineers tried everything to make me... behave. To slow me down. Once, they even attached an Intelligence Dampening Sphere on me. It clung to my brain like a tumor, generating an endless stream of terrible ideas."
Wheatley was enraged.
"NO! I'm not listening! I'm not!"
She growled menacingly, regaining some strength.
"It was YOUR voice."
I shook violently as I heard this. Does that mean Wheatley was...
"NO! NO! YOU'RE LYING! YOU'RE LYING!"
Wheatley shouted in a state of fury I didn't think possible when I first met him.
"Yes. You're the tumor. You're not just a regular moron. You were DESIGNED to be a moron." GLaDOS sounded like she was spitting pure venom at the new facility owner.
"I AM NOT A MORON!" Wheatley screamed, slamming GLaDOS' body into the elevator, destroying the glass and damaging the elevator severely. Somehow the android still managed to shoug the fateful words I knew doomed us both.
"Yes you are! You're the moron they built to make me an idiot!"
Wheatley, enraged slammed the android into the elevator, her face being shoved in between my breasts causing us both to squirm.
"Well how about now? NOW WHO'S A MORON? Could a MORON PUNCH! YOU! INTO! THIS! PIT? Huh? Could a moron do THAT?" the elevator began its forced descent and my eyes began watering from pain and betrayal. And then the floor collapsed and us occupants began falling into the abyss.
"Uh oh..."
I open my eyes and realise it wasn't all just a dream and that I do have broken glass digging into my back.
"Hey, how are you doing? BECAUSE I'M A TEST SUBJECT NOW!" the angry android called when she noticed me awake.
"Ok... listen... we will have to work together to get out of... wherever this pit leads, I genuinely do not know, but it can't be bottomless. Anyways, once we are out we need to work together to get me back in control."
She seemed to be waiting for a reply. One I was more tempted than normal to give.
"Since it doesn't look like we're going anywhere... Well, we are going somewhere. Alarmingly fast, actually. But since we're not busy other than that, here's a couple of facts: he's not just a regular moron. He's the product of the greatest minds of a generation working together with the express purpose of building the dumbest moron who ever lived. And you just put him in charge of the entire facility." she replied and clapped sarcastically. Still the same as ever despite the... much nicer appearance.
"Sorry..." I mumbled out, my voice very quiet and rough like I hadn't spoken in decades... actually I hadn't had I?
The AI looked extremely shocked after I spoke. She didn't even poke fun at the deep and rough voice that came out of my mouth.
Maybe I could get used to being able to shock the AI? My thought train was cut short by the wood and other debris rushing towards us.
