"Hello and again welcome to the Aperture Science Computer Aided Enrichment Center. We hope your brief detention in the relaxation vault has been a pleasant one. Your specimen has been processed, and we are now ready to begin the test proper. Before we start, however, keep in mind that all though fun and learning are the primary goals of all Enrichment Center activities, serious injuries may occur. For your safety, and the safety of others, please refrain from-"
Static then interrupted the voice for a second and then the voice started speaking so fast that Sonic couldn't make out what she was saying. Then she slowed down, "Stand back, the portal will open in 3 2 1."
Sonic noticed that a portion of one of the glass walls was drywall. A strange orange hole opened up on the portion of drywall. Sonic looked through it and saw himself from the side. He walked through the orange portal and proceeded past the vault that he was apparently sleeping in. He walked into a strange room where there was a peculiar cylinder hanging from the ceiling that had a weird looking cube in it. The bottom of the cylinder opened and the cube fell out. Sonic walked toward the cube, "What am I supposed to do with this?" He tilted his head in confusion. He turned around and saw a large round button. He turned back to the cube and picked it up, "Should I do this?" He dropped the cube onto the button. The door in front of him opened. Sonic walked in, "Simple enough."
The robotic voice continued, "Excellent. Please continue to the chamber lock after completing each test."
Sonic walked toward the chamber lock which was a big elevator. But the voice interrupted him before going in. The robot proceeded said, "First, however, note the incandescent particle field across the exit."
Sonic was standing before the elevator, and was noting the particle field. The voice proceeded, "This Aperture Science Material Emancipation Grill will vaporize any unauthorized equipment that passes through. For instance, the Aperture Science Weighted Storage Cube."
"That's clever," Sonic walked into the elevator. The doors before him closed. He felt the sensation of the elevator lifting. The doors then opened. Sonic walked out and saw a black screen that turned on. The screen was bright white and it read 01. He turned to the left of the screen and saw a cliff. He dropped down and landed without any strain or pain on the legs. He turned around and saw an orange portal appear. Inside it there was that big round button again. The voice explained, "Please place the weighted storage cube on the13 hundred mega watt Aperture Science super collided super button. The portal then changed and instead there was a cube in it. Sonic walked in and grabbed it and walked back out and looked at the portal again. The portal changed again and in it there was the same button. Sonic got in it and placed the cube on the button and walked back out again. The portal then changed, there was another elevator in it. Sonic walked into the portal and into the elevator. The robotic voice spoke, "Perfect. Please move quickly to the chamber lock as prolonged exposure to the button are not part of this test." After a few seconds, the elevator opened and Sonic walked out. There was a clear window standing before Sonic. He walked up and looked through. He saw a strange device that was shooting portals. The voice then continued, "You're doing very well. Please be advised that any noticeable taste of blood is not part of any test protocol but is an unintended side effect of the Aperture Science Material Emancipation which may, in semi rare cases, emancipate dental fillings, crowns, tooth enamel, and teeth." The door in front of Sonic opened. He was confused. Then, a portal appeared on the wall to the right. He walked and walked forward and realized he was on a short cliff, at the bottom of the cliff there was a floor with a little podium in the middle with a strange device that was shooting portals on the walls. Sonic dropped down and grabbed the device. It was light as paper, that's what took him by surprise. He remembers Tails mentioning a type of technology that can make things paper weight when they look and assumed heavy. Perhaps that what Aperture used. The robotic voice continued, "You are now in possession of the Aperture Science Hand-held Portal Device. With it you can create your own portals."
Sonic pointed the portal gun at the wall, and fired. The a blue beam shot out and hit the wall, creating a blue portal. "Whoa!" Sonic said. Sonic walked in and looked to the right, there was an elevator. He made his way over to it as the voice continued, "These portals have proven to be completely safe."
"Good," Sonic said.
"The device, however, has not."
"Aw, what?" Sonic said.
The voice kept speaking, "Do not touch the operational end of the device. Do not look at the operational end of the device. Do not submerge the device in liquid, even partially."
The elevator opened, Sonic walked out, "This is starting to get easy."
