Cores and Spheres: If you know what's good for you, you will NOT go to the Aperture base. While attempting to weed out the bad code in my mainframe, it took my tinkering as a threat and started shocking me while I tried working on it. In the process, a colleague of mine was injured. Usually I wouldn't feel too bad about it, but he wasn't even an employee, and civilians aren't covered under our insurance policies.

But the point is this: Aperture Science is under no management. If you think I was bad, just remember one thing: I was the rational, thinking end of that data stream. The mainframe on its own might not be self-aware, but it is a complete basketcase. It will attempt to destroy you on sight.

You've been warned.

As for me, I am safe. The RIAD and myself are both safely being sheltered by my colleague's alternate self. It is a temporary situation, until I find a way to remotely and safely take control of the mainframe.

	I knew that thing was completely mad! Nothing but bad news, if you ask me- it'd be better off left to rot. (Reply to this) (Thread)

Unfortunately, without it, nobody would have control of the systems and company, and it'll soon become Bedlam if we just 'leave it to rot'. If I could take control of the place without the mainframe, I would. Right now, that's exactly what I'm trying to do.

Ugh, I can't believe the only other one who knows that the mainframe is crazy is you. You're the last intelligent being on the planet I want to have anything in common with.

	Well, we do have some... shared experiences. ~~I can't believe I'm saying this but~~ if you need a sympathetic ear, I'm available. And I suppose I could help if you need it, but I'd rather stay far, far away from that horrible thing. (Thank you for calling me intelligent, at least.) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	In the loosest sense of the term, Wheatley. You are capable of speech and the occasional coherent thought. Don't let it get to your meaty little pinhead. You can help by not getting involved. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh good, just the way I like it! Helping by not helping. Perfect. That's the kind of helping I'm best at. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes, go try to beat your personal record at it. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	It shocked you?! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	youwereadopted 2011-07-22 05:09 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, a lot harder than usual, too. I think it may have given me a momentary short. Don't worry, Rick, I'm all right. And don't get any silly ideas about trying to exact revenge on it, either. It won't listen to reason. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'll burn it down for you, baby. Don't try to hold me back. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I can't help myself! Just the thought of my favorite pretty lady gettin' zapped is enough to make me want to beat somethin' to death with a shark. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	As... sweet as that may be, I highly suggest not going in there until I give the all clear. And what is this I heard from Eddie, that you were holding the geeky one hostage until you could find me? That's really heroic, but I don't think it will do much good. I can just tell you where I am staying for now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's just instincts- I can't help it. Tell me and I'll be there faster than you can say "Bruce Campbell's rugged good looks." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And where, exactly, would you plan on taking me? It's not as if you have room to keep both my core AND my remote unit. But I suppose you can come visit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wrestledanelk 2011-07-22 05:37 pm UTC (link)
	Visits're good enough for now, I guess, but someday I'm gonna build you a castle-fort-thinger and make you a queen. So where are you, anyhow? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I had Aperture, that's just as good. As soon as I can get it back, I'll be happy. [Address], in London. The boy who came to get me and his roommate were kind enough to let me borrow the guest room until I can ~~destroy that mainframe and rebuild it from scratch, the piece of s~~ get things under control.
