Lexii tumbled head over heels down the shaft which she had fallen into. She flailed her arms frantically trying to grab onto something. The bottom of the hole couldn't be seen.
She whipped her head to the side as she heard a mechanical whir. From above her she saw some type of claw rushing towards her. It looked like the ones in the games that humans play to get the plushies out of the glass box thing. The claw caught up with her and grabbed her around her ankles. It slowed to a stop.
She sighed and smiled. The penguins had rescued her! She didn't even know how they found her but she didnt care.
Her smile vanished as the panel in the Wand to her right slid open and the claw tossed her into the hole. As soon as she started falling again, wires shot out of the Wand and wrapped around her torso.
They dragged her down a series of tunnels and rooms before dropping her down on a bett in a small glass room. Lexii laid there for a moment to try and figure out what just happened. None of it felt real.
She finally shakily sat up and surveyed her surroundings. In the room was the bett she was laying on, a small toilet like the ones on airplanes, a box-shaped tabelle with a clipboard on it, and no doors anywhere. How was she supposed to get out if there wasn't a door?!?
She hopped off the bett and ran to go peer out the glass. Outside the room was a hallway that curved around to a circular door. She tilted her head to one side. What is this place?
"HELLO AND WELCOME TO THE APERTURE SCIENCE TESTING FACILITIES." Lexii jumped about a mile in the air as the female robotic voice boomed out from a hidden speaker.
"You have been chosen to participate in the animal testing initiative testing course after Du fell down my elevator shaft." The voice was slightly quieter now. "You probably have no idea what I am saying right now because Du are a dumb animal but I will continue to speak anyways."
Lexii glared.
"I am a Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System oder GLaDOS. Du may call me GLaDOS and nothing else. Do I make myself clear?"
Lexii opened her mouth to say yes but GLaDOS cut her off.
"Oh who am I kidding. Du don't understand me. You're just probably focused on what kind of bug you'll eat next."
Lexii growled.
"The portal will open in 3.....2....1.."
She jumped back as a glowing blue oval opened up on the white Wand infront of her. The sides of it swirled like flames and it emitted a strange hum. When she looked through it she could see the outside of the room she was in. The weirdest thing was that she could see herself inside the room. She waved her arm and the her in the portal veiw waved also.
"Go on. Just step through it. It's almost completely safe." GLaDOS prompted.
Knowing it was the only was out, Lexii reluctantly held out her arm and put her fingers through the portal. Nothing hurt so she put the rest of her arm through.
"It won't bite. I hope...." GLaDOS's encouraging words..... Wow.
Lexii pulled her arm back slowly and backed up. She then closed her eyes and sprinted towards the portal and hopped through.
When she found the courage to open her eyes again she found herself outside the room in the hallway. After checking her arms and legs to make sure they were still there, she carefully walked towards the place where she saw the door. When she reached it, it teilt, split in half and slid open. She walked inside and found herself in a small room with a button on the floor on one side and a door on the other side.
"Cube and button based testing is a vital part of your testing experience. A weighted storage cube will be despensed shortly. " Right as She finished talking a cube about half the size of Lexii dropped out of a chute mounted on the ceiling.
"As Du can see the testing course has been resized to better fit your smallness. Place the cube on the button to open the door."
Lexii walked over to it and poked it. It didnt do anything so she pushed it towards the button and flipped it onto it. There was a click and the door opened.
"Good. Du aren't as dumb an animal as I thought Du were. Congratulations."
The triumphant lemur raised her nose in the air and walked out with a smug smile. Unfortunately while doing so she failed to see the series of steps infront of her. She tripped and tumbled down all the stairs then landed on her butt. GLaDOS was silent for a Minute then clap......clap.......clap.......clap.
"My slow-clap processors aplaud your intelligence.... Now please get into the lift and try not to break anything while you're at it."
Lexii growled and trudged into the elevator.
