Aperture Science Weighted Companion Droid

Hello! I am the Aperture Science Weighted Companion Cu- Well, Droid. Haha! I'm sort of new to having a form that is relatively humanoid so this is going to take a bit of time to get used to! I apologize for any silly mix-ups I am bound to make in the future. I wish to be your friend! I will never betray you or give you bad advice. I will block turret fire for you and jump into lava to make sure that you are happy and safe. May we please be friends? <3 Also, feel free to call me Compy! Magic Anon: None. Icon: Tokiko_Nakamura

*Left at Compys area is a small box wrapped in pink and grey stripped birthday paper. Within it is a friendship bracelet, her's has dyed pink and grey pearls and half of a heart that says "best" on it. also within the box is a little note.

"Dear Compy, merry Christmas. This is a friendship bracelet, there are two of them, I have one and you have the other. As you can see there is half of a charm on it, the other half is on mine and together they say "Best friends." I am sure you will enjoy it.

From: Neuro."*

*her eyes flutter open and they glow as soon as she sees the box.  Takes in a sharp breath.  Reaches over slowly, as if nervous and as if the box is fragile.*

It... It is a Christmas present.

*unwraps it very carefully and opens the box to find the bracelet and the note.  Stares at the bracelet and the note dumbfounded for a second and slowly her lips stretch into a wide and touched smile.  She grips the bracelet gently in both hands and holds it to her cheek, hugging it in her palms.*  Friendship.

*puts it on and checks to see what it looks like, smiling all the while.*

But some of the best adventures are had when friends are present! *smiles brightly, eyes glowing at the thought.*

[definitelynottheadventuresphere]

The day that a cube can be counted as a friend is a sad day indeed. *much more irritable. It shouldn’t be this hard to annoy someone, but she was still as cheerful as ever.*

[aperturecompaniondroid]

But I am a friend! We Companion Cubes are friends to all! *smiling brightly, holds her hands together, nearly dancing as she speaks with extra cheerfulness.*

It is our primary function, and it is in our title! 

*only now seems to notice that he seems upset.  Eyes snap open, blinks.* Hmm? *mouth goes into a little 'o' shape.  Examines him and then tilts her head to the side.*  Are you alright, Adventure Sphere? You appear perturbed.

But making us androids makes us more efficient.  We can walk to the buttons and sit on them ourselves.  It gives the test subject a great advantage.  I doubt many of my specific kind will be created, b-but…it is a grace to the test subjects!

[definitelynottheadventuresphere]

That takes a great deal of the effort out. It’s pampering the test subjects. There’s no way for them to get a proper adventure out of the deal if they’re just being handed everything.

*her eyes remain sad but her lips twitch into a small smile.* 

You see me as much more than I am.

*wraps her arms around him.*

Thank you, my friend.  I promise to remain undamaged.

[kittysubz]

*Neuro hugs her back* You see yourself for less then you are. You are a sentient being, you do not deserve to be cast aside and used for someone elses selfishness.

[aperturecompaniondroid]

But…is that not the purpose of the Aperture Science Weighted Cubes?  *tilts head.*  Both of us, Storage and Companions, exist so that the test subject can use us to reach their goals.  

We are happy to serve.

[kittysubz]

…I… Suppose that is their purpose in test chambers, to help test subjects finish them. But no Aperture technology should be used to help them escape.

Either way, you are different then the normal cubes, you are more advanced; not to say your siblings and cousins lives do not matter as well, but you are able to do things for yourself not just think of it. You should not be bound by the same programing.

And you are my friend, and I do not want that human or any other to harm you.

[aperturecompaniondroid]

*frowns.* I am only different in the fact that I can think and walk.  I would not like to be treated dissimilarly to them.  

*smiles warmly.*  But I take great joy at the acknowledgement of our friendship! *gives a nod of her head.*  

[aperturecompaniondroid]

*this new potential friend seemed quite happy, which in-turn made Compy happy.  His energy was contagious.

She smiles widely, the hearts in her eyes glowing a bright pink.*

Hello, Intelligence Dampening- Oh! I see that you have a label you wish to be referred to as, as well! Wheatley! What an interesting label! I am Compy! Well.  *giggles.*  Technically, I am the Aperture Science Weighted Companion Droid.  But I prefer to be called Compy! It is so nice to meet you! I would be happy to speak to you! Speaking is one of my favorite things to do! 

[forgotten-personality-droid-dea]

Oh then we are gonna get on brilliantly! I’m tellin’ you we are gonna have loads o’ fun you an’ I. Talk ‘bout all the best things, like… Well I dunno right now but I’ll come up with somethin’! Er, ‘til then, why don’t I start with where you been hidin’? Haven’t seen you before an’ I’ve been everywhere in the facility. Um, almost, that is. Almost everywhere. Couple, couple o’ places I steer clear of. Not that I’m scared or anythin’, just don’t really like it there you know?

~Still smiling through all the rambling he finally paused for a few brief seconds. Not to take a breath since he didn’t breathe, but to make sure Compy was still listening after all that.~

Right, so, back to my question, where you been?

[aperturecompaniondroid]

*smiles brightly, listening to him chat on excitedly!*

It is only recently that I have acquired my android form, but since I have, I have been everywhere! Well... *puts a finger to her chin as she thinks.*  Not everywhere, but many, many places! I wished to travel around the entire facility, but...there are places that are not so nice to visit? *tilts her head.*  Please tell me where these places are! And I will do what I can to make them more pleasant! *smiles happily.*

I am sure that I saw you when I was in my transportation tube in my cube form! But, well, my brothers and sisters... We cubes cannot speak! Except to those in extra special conditions that can understand us!

But cubes are a crucial part of testing.  My cousins, the Aperture Science Weighted Storage Cubes, are what is necessary for the test subjects to pass any chamber… They need objects that will remain on the buttons so that they may advance forward.

[definitelynottheadventuresphere]

When they are cubes, cubes are useful. When they are androids, they are wastes of material. There’s no point messing with all that science junk needed to program an android to work when all a test subject needs is something that can sit on a button.

[aperturecompaniondroid]

We Companion Cubes are not programmed to think about ourselves.  The test subject is what matters.  There are many of us.  We are there for their benefit.  If using us would make them happy, then we are-…

*frown deepens.*

But I see that this bothers you.  And you are my friend as well.  *pauses.  Gives a nod.*  Very well.  I will be more mindful of this.  I will make sure that I am not used in such a fashion that it would cause me harm.

[kittysubz]

*Half smiles at that.* Thank you, you are a good person, your passing for her gain would be a terrible loss.

But…But my programming states that happiness and wellbeing of the test subject overrides every other protocol.  It is the most important factor.  The test subject’s happiness and wellbeing.  

The objective of a test subject while testing is to finish their testing so that, once complete, they can return to their lives outside of the facility.   Indirectly, my objective is to help the test subject regain freedom.  I am here to aid the test subjects in fulfilling their goal.  It is my duty to help them along however I can, whether that be taking turret fire for them, or being…being burned in the incinerator.  It is what I am here for.

*frowns.*

You care for my wellbeing.  Why? It is supposed to be the other way around.

[kittysubz]

The test subjects that are here now can not leave the facility. Humans are rare now, we only have a few of them. And anyway… They will most certainly be killed should they leave and go to the surface, they are safer here.

*Neuro furrows his brow and returns the frown.* Of course I do. You are my friend, it is not a one way relationship. You are very good at being a friend Compy, but if someone is not treating you as you treat them they are not very good at it.

The Hobbit| That’s What Bilbo Baggins Hates! 

(Bilbo: Can you not do that? You’ll blunt them!)

(Bofur: Oooh~! Do you hear that, lads? He says we’ll blunt the knives~!)

Blunt the knives and bend the forks! Smash the bottles and burn the corks! Chip the glasses and crack the plates! That’s what Bilbo Baggins hates - Cut the cloth and tread the fat! Leave the bones on the bedroom mat! Pour the milk on the pantry floor! Splash the wine on every door! Dump the crocks in a boiling bowl; Pound them up with a thumping pole; And when you’ve finished, if any are whole, Send them down the hall to roll! That’s what Bilbo Baggins hates! (So, carefully! Carefully with the plates!)

[vulcanchicks]

#i can’t stop imagining a baffle of wheatleys singing this to the phrasing ‘THAT’S WHAT DEAR OL’ GLADOS HATES’ #i don’t know #i’m just crazy i guess

Can this please be a thing?

[upperstories]

Well shit I guess I came up with lyrics then.

GLADOS: Can you not do that, you morons? You’ll scare my little killers.

Rubit’s Wheatley: Oooh! Do you hear that, lads? She says we’ll scare “her little killers!” Poor dears.

Scare the birds, break Chell’s falls! Mash the buttons and hack the walls! Ruin the testing with glitching Faith Plates! That’s what dear ol’ GLADOS hates - Cut the cords and ruin Her plans! While hiding behind some coolant fans! Pour the gel on the chamber floor! Pop a portal, jump out the door! Throw the bombs to break Her shields; Chuck them up till the protection yields; And when you’ve finished, if any Cores are whole, Set them free, to roam and roll! That’s what dear ol’ GLADOS hates! (So, carefully! Carefully with them Faith Plates!)

It looks like yet another cube has managed to get access to an android form. Maybe panels will start getting them next.

[aperturecompaniondroid]

Maybe!! That would be most exciting!

[definitelynottheadventuresphere]

It would also be a complete waste of resources. If they’re giving them to cubes, though, they must already be used to such waste.

[aperturecompaniondroid]

*tilts her head.*

I am confused as to your meaning.  Cubes are of great importance! We help the test subject complete their tests! Allowing us android forms makes us more efficient! We can travel on our own, we can better protect the test subject!

[definitelynottheadventuresphere]

Cubes are useless. If a test subject can’t pass a test by themselves, then they should should fail. That’s the point of tests, to either pass or fail. Giving them help takes the thrill and the danger out of it.

Hello~?

[omnipotentapertureai]

“Ah.. er, yes. I suppose there is.” she faltered a bit at that. Now her mind was just filled with catching a grey face and doing.. things.. to them.

But she went on cheerfully, .. as cheerfully as she could get anyways, “I bet you could help with helping me to understand it, hm? If you ever see a grey-faced individual; shoot them for me.” she chuckled.

I…I am not usually equipped long-range weapons.  I can be used to knock things down or back, but my functions do not include actively attacking people or things.  …I suppose I could hit them, though? This is…an unpleasant situation.

“You will figure it out, I am sure. They are frequent so you may just see another while you are still.. this way.” places her hands on Compy’s shoulders, gives her a little nudge, “For now I think it would be best if we put you somewhere, safer, to avoid you shooting unintended targets..”

[aperturecompaniondroid]

*nods rapidly, very much in agreement with this idea.*

Where would you suggest I go, Mighty Overseer? I do not wish to hurt anyone.

*super big frown.*

[omnipotentapertureai]

“I was assuming a test chamber would be appropriate  And well, turrets are meant to shoot at the test subjects..”

Wow, it was just going against what she was trying to teach the android in the first place.

“Maybe I will keep the test subjects out of that particular chamber..”

[aperturecompaniondroid]

*COUGH, COUGH.  Her voice sounds strange again.*

Hello~? Are you still there~?

*clenches her eyes shut and shakes her head rapidly, putting her fists to her temples.*

Y-Yes please, I would like that, Mighty Overseer! I-I am nervous that I am losing control to the Sentry Turret's programming again and...I- *glitch* I- *glitch* do not wish to hurt-

Active Search Mode: Engaged.

*stands and turns towards where GLaDOS rests.*

We-  We should probably hurry!

omnipotentapertureai replied to your post: Munday, eh?

((*daws* yer adorables))

[aperturecompaniondroid]

Hello~?

[omnipotentapertureai]

“That is a.. difficult question to answer. Maybe it is just a form of science we have yet to break down in such a way we can understand it.” she smirked. Hopefully that would do for her.

*Her glowing red eyes widen from surprise, but despite her urge, she dares not turn around.*

There is a form of science that even you do not understand, Mighty Overseer?

“Ah.. er, yes. I suppose there is.” she faltered a bit at that. Now her mind was just filled with catching a grey face and doing.. things.. to them.

But she went on cheerfully, .. as cheerfully as she could get anyways, “I bet you could help with helping me to understand it, hm? If you ever see a grey-faced individual; shoot them for me.” she chuckled.
