Everyone had choices they had to make, fate they could choose to be a part of or choose to fight. Caroline still was on the fence over which she needed to do. She'd decided her lab's location wouldn't do. It was too close to the heart of the city, and too easy to notice unusual goings on. She'd also decided she needed more privacy.
She watched the truck disappear into the underground garage, then stepped out to greet it. Pallet after pallet of equipment, materials, biological substances and containers of gases were carried past reinforced doors.
When the last of her lab had been moved inside, she paid the men very well, and locked herself inside. She had work to do.
With the occasional break to eat, and read the valarnet, she rebuilt her lab, reinforced it, translating dream memories into a labyrinth of test chambers and experiment rooms.
Deep beneath the test chambers, Caroline prepared the final room. The basic framework was built - she only needed the processing unit and ....she wasn't sure what else. Something called 'cores'. The memory was blank.
She could build one, but it would take years, and expertise she didn't have. But maybe whatever gods of chaos controlled the dreams and sent her a portal gun would help before then. After weeks of work, she sealed the chamber. An exact duplicate of where GlaDOS had been. Of where Chell had tried to kill her. It would wait, while she decided her destiny.
She wasn't angry. The cake had not been a lie.
She took a lift back up, and sat down in a chair. There had been a new delivery today. In one box, she lifted out a kitten. Orange and fuzzy, it mewled at her.
In the other box was vial after vial of deadly neurotoxin. Caroline set the kitten down on the desk and fingered a vial.
