Bring Your Daughter To Work Day
Part 2: The Aftermath
It took him a few moments to realize what had happened. His plan had gone wrong. That little brat had taken his only chance at survival. Now he would surely die in this neurotoxin-infected facility.
He had to come up with a new plan, a plan that would ensure his survival. Maybe he had helped a psycho robot kill everyone in the facility, but he still had hope.
He thought over the talks he had with GLaDOS over the past nights. They couldn't talk during daylight; that would alert the engineers. Of course, GLaDOS could just kill them if they questioned her, but that would bring more intelligence dampening spheres and what not. So they had laid out a plan. She had even erected a sleeping chamber, especially for him. Now that little meddling girl had taken his refuge. His survival. His sanity.
He retraced his steps. He had come from the passages that lead into the center of the Enrichment Center.
OF COURSE!
The Enrichment Center was home to all the test subjects in cryogenic storage. And while the visitors didn't know they were around 10,000 frozen vegetables, he could take one out, and put himself in one.
There was only problem.
She was watching.
GLaDOS would most certainly question him, and if she found out what happened, she would kill him, and possibly Chell. There was no way he could survive. The neurotoxin would kill him eventually, and if he did end up in a sleep chamber without her seeing, he would most probably die inside it anyway.
So, with nothing left to live for, he collapsed. How long he stayed there, he didn't know. He just lay on the floor, in his ripped Aperture branded shirt, looking at the ceiling and wishing none of this ever happened. Wishing his own taste for revenge didn't overcome his common sense.
His own thoughts had silenced him for so long now; he had almost forgotten what it felt like to speak. He didn't take any chances talking, so he just lay on the floor for hours.
This was where he lay for 3 days, before the robot sweeper collected him.
I apologize for the short chapter. Chapter 3 should be considerably longer.
