What if personality cores were the size of a pokèball but instead of a cute ilttle critter theres a whole ahh human/android/cyborg/whatever inside it
-more dumb stuff under the cut-
I have no idea as to what I just wrote down or exactly how this AU(?????) would work out, but it goes something like this:
Aperture is in ruins. You have no idea how it happened, and how you even got stuck here in the first place, but the objective is clear: you need to survive long enough to figure out how to escape. And while you're at it, you are also going on an Easter egg hunt of sort that will provide you with useful companions...
Not only the "Pokècores" are strewn about all over the facility, they are also lot smaller than regular cores so they're quite tricky to spot.
Nevertheless, you decide that it's now your quest to collect as many of them as possible.
Each different "Pokècores" contain different human/cyborg/android/whatever cores in them. Some are commonly found, others are found in more obscure places.
Since each human!cores have different skillsets(e.g. Virgil can repair things and Rick can be a good choice when brawn is needed over brain), collecting different kinds of Pokècores would increase your chance at surviving whatever Aperture is throwing at you.
Perhaps you can even make an 'entry' of sort with the pokècores you collected?
