[Fniff]

You get the microphone and speak into it.

"Hey, Doug. You got any gas masks down there?" You ask.

"No, why do you ask?" He replies.

[Phantom]

"Nevermind.
Dude, quick, stack up those boxes and climb up here. Wait, do you have one of the portal devices?!"

[Fniff]

"You mean a portal gun? They gave me a cake and then told me to go find a portal gun. That's what the purpose of this experiment is, I think...Hell, this doesn't make any sense." Doug shakes his head, then stacks three cubes upwards. He climbs them up to you. He shakes your hand and smiles.

"Right, you know way out?" He asks.

[Darvi]

The gun is a lie!

[Phantom]

"No, not really. But, we can coordinate better as two, right?"


Meanwhile, at Black Mesa...
Shephard is somewhere in the reservoirs, I believe.

[Fniff]

(Actually, he is probably somewhere else by now. For all intents and purposes, Portal is set during Half Life 2, so this would have been occurring a little while after the Black Mesa incident, but for each his own canon.)

"Hey, funny fact: it turns out humans are just as likely to help others as they are to push them into a boiler without any witnesses." Doug chuckles, then realizes it was a bad idea to say that.

"Anyway...Goddamn I am hungry. I think these test chambers might be near the cafeteria, so we could get there...Maybe. I don't really know." You notice you are hungry too. How long were you knocked out? "So...I know, maybe the repair areas could get us to food!"

Ah, scientists. Even though the facility is being run by a maniacal something called GLADOS, at least the scientists are still thinking of how to get good out of a bad situation.

[Darvi]

What are you saying? GLaDOS is our friend! She will never do something as horrifying as killing everybody in the entire building!

[Fniff]

"GLADOS has tested affirmative in all tests, including Turing. It will never kill everybody in the building, except if necessary. Remember: We do what we must because we can." Oh God, that announcer again.

[Phantom]

"Right, Doug...
Okay, see any vents? I can't tell, I'm a bit tired and an android clawed out one of my eyes..."


((I always assumed Portal took place during the Time Frame of Half Life One or before, otherwise Aperture Science would have been mangled by the Combine or something for resources.))

[Fniff]

(Hmm. Maybe the Combine couldn't get in because the facility was shut in, so there was no-way in or out? Eh, nevermind.)

"Oh. I thought that eyepatch was for fashion. Well...Oh, there!" Doug jumps into the air, and manages to break down a formerly unseen vent. He helps you climb up, and you both head off towards the unknown.

*

You jump down from the vent, rolling along the floor like your instructor told you to do during training. Doug, however, is a scientist and lived in offices and labs most of his life, so it was predictable he fell down clumsily. After a bit of panic, you get Doug up and you look around.

You did manage to get to Cafeteria, but most of the non-can food is gone and rest rotted. This makes you more confused as you wonder just how long you have been in this facility. Shouldn't the food only rot after a while?

However, Doug spots a nice looking can of beans and a can opener. He opens the bean can and eats some of the beans. He hands the rest to you.

[Phantom]

((...Eh, I like the idea better that it's around Half Life One.))

Go ahead, eat.

[Demonic Spoon]

Start singing the Still Alive song.

[Fniff]

You eat the last of the beans. You start humming a few out of tune notes, but that seems to put Doug on edge.

Suddenly, the door opens. A military android marches in and aim's it's machine guns at you!

[Blackdutchie]

Ask calmly what it wants, while raising gun to wherever you guess it does it's thinking.

[mcclay]

Do the dance of dodging bullets.  Find a a tevolver.
