The elevator raised up to a room with 23 other subjects. They all had bright orange jumpsuits with weird white things by their shoes on just like me. We each were equipped with the portal gun and a red band around our wrists.
"I trust you have all completed the Mandatory Aperture Science Training Course, and are ready to continue testing." she said "Before we start I think it is important to say my name is GLaDOS standing for Genetic Life-form and Disk Operating System."
"Where are we." screamed a subject near me.
"Where are you? You are at the Special Aperture Science Collaboration Project." GLaDOS said in her distinctive monotone. "We have collaborated with your home country, Panem I believe, to create a perfect Hunger Games." Everyone started going crazy. The effects of that detention thing affected our memories, but I think this gave us some clarity.
Over the shouting, I heard one tribute, if that's what we call ourselves, shout "How is this going to work. I don't see a cornucopia or weapons to play these games."
GLaDOS responded "To answer the one rational test subject in the room, I will explain later. To all of you, I am going to announce the tribute list.
"From District 1 we have Paris and Radiance. Paris is a 18 year volunteer tribute with a troublesome affinity for silver swords and himself. Radiance is a 14 year old volunteer tribute who most people think is insane." said GLaDOS. The boy named Paris seemed to be rationally thinking through the fact that the rest of the tributes know his preferred weapon. He was doing this by cursing and hitting the ground with his fist. Radiance just had a blank look towards the ceiling. "From District 2 we have two 18 year old volunteers. The boy is named Nero and the girl is called Alexis. Fun fact, they hate each other horribly. I know for a fact I will have a lot of fun with these two."
"Can't you just go curl up and die" spat Alexis to either Nero or GLaDOS.
"These two are just oodles of fun, but I must get to District 3. It seems to me that we have siblings. Binary and Boolean. Boolean a 16 year old male who is going to the Electrician College 6 years ahead of schedule. He is quite accomplished. Binary is his 12 year old sister who he is dead set on protecting. This should be very interesting." said GLaDOS with a barely audible giggle.
"Why would you do this to us" screamed Boolean. He was holding a sobbing sister.
"I was bored." said GLaDOS who I could hear was getting more and more gleeful as this went on. "I do have some consolation for the tributes I just introduced. You all will be in cooperative mode. You will have to work together with your other tribute member to make it through a series of tests in order to make it to the end. If your partner dies before you, you will be transferred to an individual testing track." she said, by this point barely stifling laughter.
"I am not partnering with that brat" screamed Nero. Alexis didn't look too happy about this arrangement either. Boolean and Binary were hugging and crying. Paris was ranting about how he had to be with an idiot of a tribute, and Radiance was just glaring at him when their platforms dissolved and they all falled down.
