When they got back to new aperture, Chell told the two androids to hide somewhere and went to go and deal with Cave seeing as she was unable to be turned off, reprogrammed, and supposedly unable to be killed, had the ability to stay silent, and was physically capable of super human feats.
Instead of a fight scene, I'm too lazy to describe it so I'll just say she used portals to put cave in an extended relaxation vault. And basically gave him…the long sleep.
In the meantime while the two humans were trash talking and fighting each other, there was something wrong back with the androids. "T, I think your systems have a virus" said GLaDOS. "What makesyousay that?" Asked T. Well, you look like you are having a seizure so your motor system is on the fritz. You are alternating between speaking unusually fast and normally, here, let me check something" said GLaDOS as she plugged a cord into T's arm and the other end into her own arm. "Are you sure interfa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-facing with me is a goodidearight now?!" Asked T her audio was getting progressively worse and harder to understand. "I'm fine, I don't get viruses" said GLaDOS. "Ok thennnnnnnnnnnnnn" said T.
"Shoot, it's already infected your audio synthesizers. If it gets past there, on the bright side you will be speaking clearly, on the down side, you will start to get either violent or crazy until we can clear your drives" said GLaDOS. Unknown to her, she was now infected as well.
When Chell got back, the two were almost completely malfunctioning. "Error. Central core is 98.75 percent corrupt. All alternate cores are too corrupt to initiate a transfer. Please locate a pure core to initiate a core transfer" said the anouncer.
Threat to aperture faculties located. Initiating combat mode" said T before curling up, spinning in place and charging Chell. "Oh shit!" Said Chell as she jumped to the side. She barely avoided several more attacks from the hedgehog android before using portals, and some propulsion jell to stick her in between two raised panels in a continuous spin dash esk attack.
"Now, how do I fix you both. At least I won't have to worry about a spinning pink ball of death jumping me from behind and sawing my butt off" said Chell. "I might be able to help you there. So there is a virus scan you can initiate manually from the central control room. Just locate and press the switch labeled 'full system debug scan' and install the data in the system backup folders" said a core with a green and red crosshair for an optic.
Um, where exactly is the central control room?" Asked Chell. "Please follow me" said the core as it traveled away on a management rail. "Um, don't they need to be plugged into a terminal or something for this to work?" asked Chell. "Not necessary. All systems in the facility are linked to the central control room via a vast wireless grid. Any system in a range that stretches for approximately one mile outside the aperture science facility grounds will be connected to the grid and will be affected by the debug scan" said the core.
They stopped when they got to a large bulkhead door. When Chell approached the door, it rumbled open in front of her and the strong smell of silicon and ozone met her nose.
"Well time to fix those two…whatever is wrong with them" said Chell as she flipped the switch. Back in the room with T and GLaDOS, the lights flickered as their optics went out. By the time Chell got back, they had fully rebooted. "HOW MUCH THAT HURTS!" shouted GLaDOS.
"Well, I'm sor-ry if I was just trying to fix you both" said Chell. "Yeah, well there are other ways to do that without shocking us with a high voltage current and then forcibly shutting us off, shocking us to hell and back again, restarting us, then cramming five million gigabytes of near impossible to process data into our drives, and finally shocking us to the farthest point in the known universe yet again! That doesn't exactly feel good You know!" Said T.
"It's like when They were doing tests on me when I was being built….the pain" said GLaDOS. "You ever been shot up by each and every turret in aperture?! It hurts more than that!" Said T,
Uh, I may have forgotten that there were antivirus micro drives in the software department. Said the core. "EAT SHIT CORE!" Shouted T as she tore the core off its rail and tossed it into an incinerator. "NO REGREEEEEEEEEEEETS" called the core as it fell into the red haze that covered android hell.
"You monster…" said T and GLaDOS to Chell as they walked off. "Sorry!" She said. "We'll think about forgiving you anytime soon" said GLaDOS.
