"I *think* there's something down there. Something didn't sound right earlier and there was this metal bug thing trying to go down there. I mean, going down there to see what's going on is better than just standing around doing nothing."

[TheBiggerFish]

"There is something down here, yes.  Probably."

ASEAMAT gives Kyanna a Look.

There is a clicking noise, as of an ancient audiotape starting to roll.
Cave Johnson: Cave Johnson here.  If you're listening to this, you want to know more about the external testing program!  The eggheads want to put some of our stuff to use in the outside world, can't figure why, it's got no use in the shower curtain biz, so they've built whatever this thing is.
A rapping noise comes from the speakers.
It's got some sort of stupidly long name.  I fired the guy who made that decision.  I'm calling it Fred.  So the Fred project is basically everything the eggheads could stick in.
Or so Caroline tells me, I don't read their reports, they're boring.

Right Caroline?

Caroline: Yes, Mr. Johnson.

So that's Fred.  Now get this thing out of my office, it looks stupid.  And fire the guy who put it here!  I don't need random things cluttering up my office when I'm trying to record messages!  You!  Yes, you!  Get this thing out!  And then get yourself out!  You're fired!

No, I don't care that you don't work here, you're still fired!

"Well, Tinkmaster, maybe I can help? E-Eco, t-that is to say the e-energy I work with, is usable in a lllllllot of app-pplicactions.  And Precursor Metal is Durable, Magically adept, chemically inert, and v-v-very l-long lasting!"

"I've also got power supplies on hand for any other energy needs."  Law says to Tinkmaster, offering his assistance.

Tinkmaster's gnome eyes glinted a bit in curiousity, he gnome placing his wrench down and fully turning to Law with his hands on his hips, "Well garsh darn, that sounds like a pretty great metal, eh? I'm working on me aether cannon right here, and I'm almost a bit done.. got the schematics right here, why don't you take a look, eh?" he said, taking the blueprints that were on the table and handing them down to Law.

 "That was. . . informative, I think? What do I call you, then, testbot?"

[TheBiggerFish]

Announcer:The Enrichment Facility reminds you that the Aperture Science Externally Active Mobile Autonomic Tester units do not have names.  The Enrichment Facility reminds you that you should never name, coddle, jump, or expose logical paradoxes to your Aperture Science Externally Active Mobile Autonomic Tester unit, as this may void the warranty.

Oracle Turret:"Her name is Caroline."

The eye blinks a pattern...

. - . .   .   - - -

[Chevaleresse]

Kyanna just sort of tilts her head. "Caroline. Sure. Why not?"

[TheBiggerFish]

"No."

The pattern repeats.

. - . .   .   - - -

[Chevaleresse]

"You're rapidly going from interesting to annoying, so I'm just going to start ignoring you."

[TheBiggerFish]

"There are things that don't exist.  This unit cannot speak /\/\/ cannot speak of those things.  Other voices can say Cave Johnson: whatever they want because this unit cannot control them.  Is there a communications issue?"

[Chevaleresse]

"Yes, I asked a name, had one voice tell me a name, and then had another voice from the same bot tell me I was incorrect when I used it. Give me a short version of what to call you or you get to be referred to as 'scrap metal.'" Her tone is more one of irritation than actual anger.

[Sl4cker]

Ikarus stretches his muscles a bit, joints making cracking sounds, and steps through the portal.

[TheBiggerFish]

"The voice speaking was not this unit's voice and should not be considered to speak for this unit at any point.  This unit will attempt communication again."

Once again, the eye flashes.

'Fact' Core:"Samuel Morse invented Morse Code to send messages-

The recording cuts out.

"Dead code.  Completely and utterly and totally with/\/\/without meaning."

[Projeck37]

"I *think* there's something down there. Something didn't sound right earlier and there was this metal bug thing trying to go down there. I mean, going down there to see what's going on is better than just standing around doing nothing."

"And thus curiosity killed the mortals... If I don't come back up, I suppose you can come down for me. The name's Ashley. Uno momento."
Ashley lowers herself down, and proceeds to dig her sword into the side of the hole, and slowly descends.

[TheBiggerFish]

Ashley could have used the portal.

[Sanure]

Isshen follows ashley down, just jumping with his hands in his pockets. he lands softly beside her.
