The Aperture Science Enrichment Center was utterly empty.
And why wouldn't it be? It had been that way for so many years. The only humans to roam the sterile black and white halls and rooms were the test subjects, brought out of their stasis for testing. Scientists had long stopped being a permanent fixture of Aperture Science. In fact, the only scientist still in existence really wasn't a human at all, and she was currently surveying the two participants of the cooperative testing initiative. Her mainframe was currently buzzing with exasperation.
"I can't bite my tongue anymore: You could solve this puzzle faster on your own, Blue. Orange is dragging you down. There. I've said it." GLaDOS, or Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System said to the Blue robot in a private channel.
It was another moment before the puzzle was finally solved and the door was opened. She opened a channel where both of them could hear her.
"Credit where credit's due: you're both doing a great job of disappointing me," She said, and if she had lips, she would've smirked. However, it wouldn't have lasted long. In front of her camera, those two little idiots were hugging.
GLaDOS burst out, "Stop it! Is it fun when you degrade yourselves like that? That's a 50-point deduction from you science collaboration score!" And she waited. Instead of stopping like she expected, Orange had pulled Blue's core off of his body and was playing keep-away with it. "Okay, fine. Let's all act like humans. 'Look at me. Boy, do I love sweating. Let's convert beef and leaves into energy and excrete them later and go shopping."
When the two little idiots finally went into the reassembly machine, GLaDOS decided she would keep them there for now. Not that they deserved a rest, but she felt her mainframe start to overheat. Getting worked up wasn't going to help her, not when she had science to do.
