Hello world, it's supermariogirl! New chapter here. Nothing really much to say.
Just so you know, the song that the Space Core sang was a parody of the Hetalia Axis Powers theme song(Marukaite Chikyuu), so, Employee 427(Stanley Parable reference?) guessed correctly. Congrats, chocolate chip cookies for you! Also, another note: since these characters are genderbent versions of the characters from Portal, they will also look different. For example, Whitney's optic is a lighter shade of blue than her male counterpart. I'll make note of any more differences.
The Disclaimer Song:
I make stories for me and you,
But I own nothing so please don't sue! Dum!
The AI hung from the ceiling, watching through a monitor. It showed a testing chamber, inside of the chamber were two robots. One of them was short, resembled a personality core with arms and legs, and had an orange optic. The other was taller, looking more like a turret. It had arms and legs much like the other one, except it had a blue optic. At the moment, they had just completed the test chamber, and were now dancing like a student getting an A+ on their test.
"Yes, I know. You solved another test chamber. You do not need to make foolish gestures about it." the Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating Network, most commonly known as GLaDON sighed(well, the robot equivalent of sighing). This had been going on for five years now. And frankly, He was getting bored. After the two bots found that vault filled with humans, He managed to lose them all in just one week. Not very helpful to science. "Just hurry up and report to the Hub, right away. And Orange, you better behave properly this time, or you will lose 10 Science Collaboration Points. Same goes to you too, Blue." The two robots nodded and went to get disassembled and reassembled, like they've always done. The supercomputer turned around, His orange-yellow optic looking at the deactivated personality core in front of Him. It took a while, but He managed to retrieve all four cores that were lost in space. He sent the other three to the Management Rails, but this one had a special job. After all, the portal device wasn't the only thing He could test. A mechanical claw lifted the core from the ground, and reactivated it. After a minute or two, the core's light blue optic shot open.
"AH! Ah! Wait, where am I?" Whitney asked, looking around until she saw the massive supercomputer in front of her. "OH CRAP-uh, I mean, hey, how's it going? Good to see you, um... up and about. Actually, I was joking. I actually am not. Happy to see you, that is. I think you might be still mad at me. Well, maybe if you would let me go, that would be great. Would really appreciate it. Yeah."
"Do you really think I would let go after what you did?" He asked, a hint of anger in His voice.
"Maybe." the core replied, looking around nervously, trying to avoid eye contact, well in this case, optic contact. "You know that human saying, um what was it again, oh yeah! 'Forgive and forget'? Was that it? I think that was it." she rambled on.
"Unfortunately, in this situation, that saying does not apply to me. However, sometimes forgiveness can be earned by doing someone a favor." He explained to the core, who was slightly shaking a bit.
"What kind of favor, exactly?" the core asked, a bit scared.
"A very important favor, that hopefully, you will NOT mess up." He stated, with a demanding tone.
"Well, what if I don't wanna do this favor?" she asked Him skeptically.
"Then you will get a first class ticket to the Aperture Science Emergency Intelligence Incinerator." He told her. Whitney's optic shrank to the lowest size.
"NO! Alright, I'll do this, um, favor, of yours." she reluctantly agreed. "Just don't throw me into the incinerator... this isn't gonna be, like, a bad favor, is it?"
"Well, only if you consider it to be bad. I know it is something I would not want to do." He answered. "Well then, since that is your final choice, you cannot change your tiny mind now. Enjoy your new punishment." He said as a surge high voltage electricity shot through the personality core. She was in a lot of pain, and wished that the engineers didn't give her the ability to feel pain. She couldn't take it anymore, and her system shut down.
Whitney's light blue optics opened, wait why did she have two? She suddenly felt very different.
"What the Android Hell is going on right now?" She thought to herself. She looked around, and noticed she was in one of the fake hotel rooms in the Relaxation Center. However, what happened next shocked her. She noticed that she had arms and legs, but not mechanical ones. She noticed that she had hands and fingers, and she had feet and toes. But, these were human hands and feet. She hesitantly looked in a mirror, and didn't see a core there. She saw a human woman, possibly in her mid-twenties. The woman had messy brownish blonde hair(with a hint of strawberry blonde) that went down to her lower back, pale skin, and light blue eyes, the same color as her optic. She was wearing a long sleeved grey shirt with light blue on the edges, and blue-grey skirt that went down to just below her knees, and matching grey boots. She blinked a few times, then screamed.
That was chapter two. We got introduced to Human!Whitney, as well as GLaDON. Whitney's human design is based on drawings I've seen people make of Human!Wheatley. Also, I want to say something. I wasn't sure what to do with ATLAS and P-Body, since their design is assumed to reflect their genders, and I'm not sure if they even have genders, so I decided to switch their colors instead. So now, ATLAS is orange while P-Body is blue. One more thing, since GLaDOS normally has a yellow optic and a stark white exterior, I decided to make GLaDON have an orange optic and a dark grey exterior. Just so to add a little more, I dunno, difference between their counterparts. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter, and let me know if I made any mistakes so I can improve my writing.
