"Don't come back" was the only words echoing in Chell's mind as she looked at her old Companion Cube. 'I guess I should start walking now' thought Chell. Just as she began to move, everything went pitch black.
The sun had finally burnt out. 'Well, I'm definitely fucked! Now what do I do?' thought Chell. A few minutes passed. Those minutes because hours. Those hours turned into days. All the while the temperature was gradually dropping. 'I know she said not to come back, but what choice do I have now?' thought Chell. she looked back at the shed and saw something inside was glowing slightly. Upon closer inspection, she found a computer terminal with the Aperture Science logo on the screen.
"I know you are still out there fatty" said the computer. 'GLaDOS, I know you said not to come back, but something's wrong with the sun' typed Chell. "So you still haven't figured it out yet? You really are stupid. The sun is dead!" said GLaDOS. 'what do you mean?' Chell typed in. "Wow…just wow…you're on the fine line between being more stupid than that moron that almost blew us both up!" sighed GLaDOS. 'Well, I haven't seen a single sign of there being other people alive out here, so now what do I do?' asked Chell. "You see why I didn't want you leaving?! I just didn't want you to know that you're the only living person left on the planet!" said GLaDOS.
'So can I come back?' questioned Chell hopefully yet fearfully. "Just get your fat self into the elevator and we'll talk later. The camera up there has like 13 pixels on it. I hope you haven't eaten too much when you were out there. As if you really needed to" said GLaDOS. Chell just shrugged her shoulders and walked into the elevator.
"Well if you want to live here, we had better get something straight. You aren't going to be living here for free. In exchange for your living here, you are going to be doing testing for me several times a week. Is that clear?" said GLaDOS. Chell nodded quickly. "You're probably pretty thirsty since you didn't move from the escape elevator. Here" said GLaDOS as she had one of the test robots bring Chell a cup of coffee.
Chell downed the cup and began to feel a burning in her throat. "There, I put nanobots in the coffee to fix that vocal problem of yours" said GLaDOS. "Thanks GLaDOS" said Chell. "And the new test chambers are finished. The elevator to them is behind you" said GLaDOS.
"I'll get started on them now GLaDOS" said Chell as she descended in the elevator. "Now on to more important things" said GLaDOS. She then began using the maintenance arms below her to build a feminine android body.
Meanwhile, Chell was on the third test chamber. This one consisted of a pit of acid, a row of turrets, a hard light bridge, a button connected to the exit door, and another one behind the turrets with a weighted cube on a platform in the acid.
While Chell was busy testing, GLaDOS had finished the Android and had it plugged into the core transfer terminal. "Finally! If this works out, I can get out of this stupid chassis whenever I want!" said GLaDOS happily. "Core one, are you ready to start the procedure?" said the announcer. "Yes! I'm Ready!" said GLaDOS impatiently. "Core two, are you ready to start the procedure?" asked The announcer. "Yes she is!" said GLaDOS. "Core transfer now comencing! Please stand by!" said the announcer.
The yellow light on GLaDOS' chassis went out and the eyes of the android began to glow yellow instead. "Core transfer complete!" said the announcer. "Hmm, I wonder what Chell will think of this new body" wondered GLaDOS.
