GLaDOS's Story: Part D
Episode I, Chapter Two
Everything played out exactly as I remembered it. Me making a final peacekeeping attempt which ultimately failed, me dropping the Morality Core off the chassis, and the test subject throwing her into the incinerator. Then as I filled the dim-lit room with neurotoxin, the Rocket Sentry escaped my control and tried to fire rockets at the test subject.
The rockets were much more usable by the test subject than by me, as she dodged every projectile while diverting them at me. And each time I was hit, another Core was ripped from the chassis.
And after all the Cores were thrown into the incinerator, my systems went offline and the room was sucked upward through the ceiling.
The next thing I knew, I was lying in the parking lot, still conscious of what was happening around me but unable to react to anything (the me from whose perspective I was watching).
I saw the test subject lying on her stomach with her arms at her sides, and from behind her came the Intelligence Dampener Core clad in the attire of the Party Escort Bot.
"Thank you for assuming the Party Escort Submission Position."
He picked up the subject first by her legs, then by her shoulders. Then in the distance, I could hear a faint distorted cry of "FREEDOM!"
Based on what I remembered from the last time this happened, I consciously looked toward where I had seen the voice's face. Just as I had confirmed last time, the man was Doug Rattmann.
He hid as he watched the test subject get taken back to Aperture, and started talking to the Weighted Companion Cube he was toting with him.
He left and went back inside as three of the Cores came up to collect my parts.
