The Central AI chamber had been changed greatly to suit GLaDOS' human body better. "Like what you've done with the place." Shade said as he walked in and spotted GLaDOS trying on a dress. "Ever hear of knocking?" GLaDOS asked angrily. "Yes, but it doesn't exist down here, we found the de-aging device and Shade has some info about Caroline, I'm Kate by the way." Kate said. "Good." GLaDOS said, cheering up greatly. "I'll start by explaining what I found out." Shade said as he took a seat. "Then go on." GLaDOs said. "Well for starters, Caroline had three children, twins and a little girl." Shade said. "Who are they?" GLaDOS asked. "Kate is the little girl, me and Chell are the twins." Shade said with a smile. "What!" GLaDOS yelled. "Yes, I'm your son, Kate and Chell are your daughters, oh and you will never guess who our father is." Shade said. "Who, I want every detail about Caroline's life?" GLaDOS said. "I only saw some of her memories, and our father is Doug Rattman." Shade said. "Wait, if I'm Doug's daughter, GLaDOS is my mother, You're my older brother, and Chell is my older sister, then I'm the only one in the family that isn't a legend in some way." Kate said. "Believe me, if you're as lucky as the rest of us, then that'll change really soon." Shade said. "Okay, I can grasp the concept of Doug being the father of my children, but what about Cave?" GLaDOS asked. "You, Cave, and Doug were friends at one point, though in some cases you would play some game involving a lot of insults and threats to see which one could come up with the best sentence to shut the others up. The one I saw had Caroline as the winner with a sentence involving, ironically, neurotoxin." Shade said.
"Now that sounds likely." GLaDOS said. "Yea, anyway, Doug managed to steal Caroline's heart, figuratively, at a young age. Cave didn't like it too much and plotted revenge." Shade said. "That sounds like Cave." GLaDOS said. "So anyway, one day, Cave decided to tell Caroline that he wanted her twins, both four at the time, to be put up for adoption and have their memories erased, Caroline wasn't too happy with that idea and neither were me and Chell, since we had over heard." Shade said. "Did he do it?" GLaDOS asked. "Yea, then Caroline had her third child, Katelyn aka Kate, and had to give her up for protection, from what I've gathered. When Cave first told Caroline to do it though, she vowed to get revenge, I saw her true happiness as she was being dragged into here to be turned into you." Shade said. "That explains why I killed all those scientists." GLaDOS said. "I have a copy of three different things, my memories that were taken away, Chell's memories that had the same done, and a virus that Doug had programmed to guard his memories." Shade said. "Why are you telling me this?" GLaDOS asked. "Because both me and Chell have missing memories, and I want us both to have them back. Where's Chell?" Shade asked. "The surface, you know this." GLaDOS said. "I also know that you wouldn't have sent her to the surface since you didn't know what had happened up there, so where is she REALLY?" Shade asked. "VR room eight." GLaDOS said in a defeated voice. "When we have brought her back, we'll give the location of the de-aging device, and I'll start working on those mini personality cores." Shade said as him and Kate turned and left.
"VR?" Kate asked. "Virtual Reality, it's an abandoned project that puts the users mind into a whole world controlled by a computer, allowing them to face their worst fears and have their greatest dreams come true. Usually it only does one or the other, so I'll have to hack it so that it doesn't do that to us and we can find Chell, she'll likely be talking again so you know." Shade said as he pulled out a headset. "Put this on so that GLaDOS can communicate with us." Shade said. "Don't boss me around, I'm not actually a little girl." Kate said as she put the headset on and GLaDOS spoke. "I wouldn't say that so fast, even if you hack into the VR room, I still have control over the world around you, I can make both of you little kids, specifically little girls." GLaDOS said. "You best have a good reason for doing so." Shade said. "Chell wont trust anyone associated with Aperture, but two twin little girls, that's a different story." GLaDOS said. "You have good reasoning, but if I let you make me look like a little girl, then I expect a favor in return." Shade said. "And what is that?" GLaDOS said. "You get rid of your robotic body and stay in that human body, and start acting more like a teenager. I can help with some programming for that." Shade said. "Fine, you have a deal, but just for that, I'm making you very childish in appearance... deal?" GLaDOS asked. "Deal." Shade and Kate said as they got to a large door that had VR08 written in large yellow letters on it. After quickly hacking into the system, Shade and Kate walked into the VR room. Chell was on a table with a helmet on her. "Join your sister on some tables and put the helmets on.. Once they are on, unless the wearer wishes to leave, they are irremovable." GLaDOS said in her mock pre-recorded voice. "Typical of Aperture." Shade said as him and Kate laid down and put the helmets on.
A/N: Sorry for semi-short chapter. My writers block returned a bit.
