(Author's Note: Spoiler warning! If you have not finished the test portion of Test Chamber 19 in Portal, do not read beyond this point! This whole piece is one giant spoiler! Also, it will make little to no sense if you have not passed this part of the game. Special thanks to Ayelis at GameFAQs for the Portal script. This was a little something I wrote at the library today, a tribute to one of my favorite parts of the game thus far (I haven't quite finished it yet).)
"Welcome to the final test."
Test Chamber 19 smells awful.
"When you are done, you will drop the device in the Equipment Recovery Annex."
Not that everything at the Aperture Science Computer-Aided Enrichment Center has been a bed of roses. Raw sewage and chemical waste on the floors, the disturbing reek off energy pellets... What are those things even made of?
"Enrichment Center regulations require both hands to be empty before any cake."
The less said about that little nook in Test Chamber 17, the better.
But this? Is indescribable.
Regardless, the test must go on. Re-route energy pellet to catcher, ride the now-moving platform, push the button...
Phwah! It's getting worse!
More platform, re-route another pellet.
"Congratulations. The test is now over. All Aperture technologies remain safely operational up to four thousand degrees Kelvin."
Heh. The cake sign is cute.
"Rest assured that there is absolutely no chance of a dangerous equipment malfunction prior to your victory candescence."
Is it getting hot in here? God, the smell!
"Thank you for participating in this Aperture Science computer-aided enrichment activity."
Oh.
"Good-bye."
Shit.
