Chapter Two: No singing for P-body

GLaDOS had many requirements the turrets needed to meet before they were allowed to wander freely. Some unfortunate turrets had to be packaged and shipped off to various places in the world while others stayed and tried to entertain themselves. Singing was very popular among the other turrets, or so P-body was told by some of the others because he was still undergoing testing.

"Turret has completed the testing and may now wait to be called upon for use. Turret may relax in the Aperture Science Turret Relaxation Chambers," the mechanical voice announced. P-body couldn't help but feel overjoyed at the opportunity to see the rest of Aperture and enjoy himself.

"Where is the conveyer belt taking us?" P-body asked the turret next to him, he had no idea where the word "conveyer belt" came from but somehow he knew it was the right word. The turret next to him did not answer and remained staring ahead at whatever it was that caught his interest. As he moved along through many doors he heard a faint sound that caught his attention and grew louder as the conveyer belt moved closer toward a closed door.

When the door finally opened, there were many turrets sitting around the King Turret and they appeared to be the source of the interesting sound. P-body somehow knew that what they were doing was singing and wondered if he could do that also. P-body watched the others intently as they were thrown into the room by the conveyer belt and immediately started singing. He tried to copy them but seemed to be doing something wrong because there was no sound coming from him. "How do you make that sound?" he asked a turret next to him but his question was drowned out by the song. He decided to try again later when they were done singing, suddenly it occurred to him that none of the turrets were walking around like he was. They seemed to be completely stationary while he could do anything he wanted.

P-body noticed the door open again and his curiosity got the best of him and he walked out the door without being noticed. He was terrified of what could be waiting him in Aperture but his curiosity outweighed the fear and he continued on. The Laboratory was much greater than he thought it was and there seemed to be no one else around. Suddenly a mechanical voice, which he knew as GLaDOS's voice, started speaking directly to him. "Where are you going, Turret, and how is it possible that you can move?" she asked him.

"I don't know. I was created this way," P-body responded.

"Well it seems I will need to do some tests on you and compare your software to another turret's. Or I could just throw you into the Incinerator, yes that sounds like a much easier way of handling this situation," GLaDOS said coldly.

"Please don't hurt me! I can't control how I was made!" P-body exclaimed. Suddenly, a thought occurred to him that was bothering him since he stepped off of the conveyer belt. "Will you please conduct the tests on me because I can't seem to sing either, will you please help me?" he asked before GLaDOS had the chance to grab him with her mechanical arm.

"What? You can't sing either? Hmm I guess I'll have to conduct a test now that you've piqued my curiosity," GlaDOS replied. She picked P-body up with her mechanical arm and brought him to a section of Aperture where she conducts all of her experiments. She analyzed P-body for hours and learned his software well but she could not figure out who had built him. "Do you have a name?" she asked curiously.

"Yes my name is P-body," he replied as politely as he could.

"I think you and I will become close friends because you are a very smart turret and could be very useful to me," GLaDOS said to him. P-body was very happy to hear she would allow him to live his life to the fullest.

"Did you find out how to teach me to sing?" he was genuinely curious to learn music because all of the others enjoyed it and it sounded so beautiful. He decided to sing all of the time when GLaDOS teaches him how to make that beautiful noise.

"I am truly sorry but you do not have the support system to learn music. All of your memory was taken up by knowledge and other abilities turrets don't usually have,"GLaDOS replied knowing it would sadden the turret but it didn't make her happy to deliver the sad news. She knew there was some sort of bond forming between the two of them and she enjoyed his company.

"Is there any way I could learn how?" P-body asked sincerely.

"No I'm sorry," GLaDOS replied quetly. If P-body could cry he would, it made him so sad to know he could never be like the others or make that beautiful noise.
