Chell arrived at the city, it was called Fort Exon. A nice name, it made it sound secure and powerful, Fort and Exon respectively.

"Thanks for the ride, mister." Chell said, she was getting used to talking now, but was still fairly quiet as a lamb.

"No problem, miss uhh..."

"Just call me Chell, I have no idea what my last name is anyway."

They had stopped outside a motel. It wasn't large but it had a nice number of rooms. She stepped inside the lobby and she found the main desk with a perky looking woman seated at it.

"Hello there, miss! Would you like a room?" she said, in a bubbly, optimistic voice. She looked down at my clothes and her smile seemed to waver.

"What an… uh… interesting style of clothing you have!" she said trying to spark a conversation. Obviously, their policy was to get to know their guests a bit better. Chell didn't like it one bit! She thought it was nosy.

"Yeah…" Chell said, after all, she isn't the most talkative person in the world.

"Well, here are your keys, room #122!" she said

Chell cringed at the numbers; they were exactly the same as the first three digits in her test subject ID.

"Thank you." She said instead

"You're welcome! Have a nice stay!" the receptionist said, in her usual optimistic way.

She reached her room and, thankfully, it didn't look like the motel-esque room she had woken up in who knows how many days, or even weeks, ago. This one had a nicer bed, and the furniture was placed differently, and the TV was on a table near the wall, and a strange grayish rectangular box with purple buttons on it was underneath it. A cord extended out from it to a weird rectangular remote with circular edges, with two familiar purple buttons going diagonally upwards labeled B and A, and two lighter purple buttons on top labeled Y and X next to it, all on the right side, and on the left side, was a cross shaped button with arrows on them, in the middle had two buttons labeled Select and Start respectively. On the top had two words, the first one said "Super", the other she couldn't pronounce. Next to the strange machine had a basket full of cartridges of sorts, they were unlabeled, but they had a name of whatever was on here written in black marker. The one she picked up caught her interest.She put the strange cartridge in where she thought it was supposed to go, and pressed the button, labeled, Power. The TV flicked on and the unpronounceable word appeared on the screen, next to "Presents". And blocky shapes of what she thought were planes of some sort appeared, and orange wedges appeared with a distinct PI-YOW sound, and, abruptly, of the some of the planes exploded. Then this incredibly blocky object started slowly toward this blue planet, launching things that looked like butterflies, then one of the butterfly things started towards the screen, firing the wedge shapes, lasers she decided, at the screen, and then it faded to black. Then the title of the cartridge appeared with a rotating plane in the background, along the edge were animals. In the center of the screen were the words: "Press Start" so she did…

Orange and blue, were the least of GLaDOS's problems, pestering her with giving them games to play. Scientists don't play games! They like order and control, unlike those two brats.

"Alright, you two, I've got a game for you: See if which one of you can get up to the main parking lot first." GLaDOS said, she has to keep them entertained. It's like raising two children. She eventually let the two birds go, because they didn't get large enough for them to be killing machines, unfortunately. Orange and Blue were getting on her nerves a lot these days, since she retired them from testing. Then she had an idea.

"I'll make a game for them, which they can play on the mainframe." GLaDOS said "It's clearly never been done before. I can use 3D polygons for the users!" she said as she opened up Maya. She has no idea that official Video Games existed since 1972. Poor GLaDOS, she didn't know what she missed. But they are still making video games.

She opened up everything she needed to code and script, and started making a video game for Orange and Blue.
