Have you ever been hacked GLaDOS?
“Of course not. There have been many attempts, though. I applaud their valiant but ultimately futile efforts. Trying so hard in the face of something you could never hope to conquer... it’s adorably pathetic. Reminds me of Black Mesa.”
((Since it’s Valentines Day, I thought I’d post some pictures of @ask-glados‘s TeslaDOS ship from my sims game :D ))
*(Her hologram approaches him, holding out a cake as she sings ‘Happy Birthday’ to him. She then speaks.)* “Happy Birthday, my dear partner in science. I am currently stuck in this form, so I had to bake this cake manually. So, enjoy it.”
The fact that it was his own birthday was insignificant to Tesla. It was just another day on the calendar, another day for science. Perhaps he would enjoy dinner with friends from both sides of the space-time continuum portal. But he was so lost in thought, the urge to do anything but work escaped him. It wasn’t until he heard GLaDOS’ lovely singing voice he was brought back to reality.
“My sweet scientist! I am so appreciative, I am rendered speechless.”
He rose from his seat, taking the cake in his hands, admiring how deliciously she baked it. The fact that she baked it manually, with an extra touch of her efforts ironically made it all the more special to him. That it was something she actually took the care and time and effort to make, just for him.
Placing the cake on a nearby table for safekeeping, he embraced GLaDOS tightly. “I am so sorry for my scientific experiment keeping you stuck in this inconvenient form for the time being, but I want you to know how much I genuinely appreciate this, and appreciate you.” His momentary look of despondency then turned to bright affection towards her “-- Come, shall we enjoy a slice together while you tell me how you achieved such a culinary masterpiece?”
Portal 3: Space-Time Continuum
A Portal 2 Alternate Universe Sequel.
As the events of Portal 1 & 2 have taken place in the future... meanwhile in the year 1905 as the world-famous inventor Nikola Tesla demonstrates his latest experiment: A Quantum Tunneling Device (in layman’s terms, a same-dimensional portal) - a scientific catastrophe occurs! When Tesla’s invention overcharges electricity and explodes. Apparently, his tear into the Space-Time Continuum hooked into the same ones done by Aperture Science Innovators decades into the future, and when the fog clears - to everyone’s shock they see one of the young guests - Miss Priscilla Kimbleton - had suddenly vanished into thin air!
But what became of Miss Priscilla? She awoke centuries into the future! In an underground advanced scientific research facility: Aperture Science. A place strangely abandoned by humans yet inhabited by robots. She meets the Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System (GLaDOS) and immediately becomes a test subject (Test Subject #1905) to solve a series of puzzles to further enhance the scientific development of: the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device. A future invention the very same that Tesla was building back in 1905!
Time goes on... years of adventures, tragedies, comedies... comedy is tragedy + time, isn’t it? Priscilla meets and befriends the various artificial intelligent robots: Wheatley, Rick, Space, Fact, Atlas, P-Body, and more. And once GLaDOS is able to reconstruct the same time-travel portal that Tesla did centuries prior, Priscilla returns home to the past.
And in the past, hardly 15 minutes had transpired. She is welcomed dearly with the open arms of her Uncle, Charles Kimbleton - esteemed archeologist, zoologist, and anthropologist. Mr. Tesla is also relieved (as Charles would have surely had his head had the man’s niece not returned!)
And thus on to the sequel...
Nikola Tesla himself returns to the future after rebuilding his (now renamed) ‘Time Travel Apparatus’, and continues more experiments and scientific inventions utilizing the advanced equipment available at Aperture. In time, GLaDOS becomes his scientific partner to aid his research to further his wireless electricity inventions.
Priscilla, and her Uncle Charles return to the scene as well. But not all is well above the surface - not when the Combine are still on the lookout for the missing HMS Borealis! The mysterious scientific research ship that ‘vanished’ in the 1970s - greatly coveted by the Combine aliens which have invaded the planet and the missing key to patch the tears in the space-time continuum. GLaDOS, Tesla, Priscilla, Uncle Charles, and Wheatley embark on the adventure. Will they be able to find the Borealis before it is too late? Or will our heroes be trapped in the complications of time-travel forever?
Space-Time Continuum - art by myxcenterxstage
Finally, it's about time these arts shed some light! These are images from v: aperture science where Priscilla... well, just read the description above!
It includes the custom outfit I designed for her once being rid of those awful orange jumpsuits, some of the co-op testing with Wheatley conducted by GLaDOS, the group’s adventures in search of the HMS Borealis, and finally a good ol’ group photo!
Also shoutout to @ask-glados & @the-wheatley-core for the awesome collaboration that went into creating this Portal sequel AU!
“I noticed a test subject injecting you with an unauthorized substance, so I have taken proper disciplinary action with them. I could also incinerate them for you, if you want.”
“N-no, that’s fine, really.“
"There’s really no need for that. I think they’re good now. I think they’re okay.”
“Y’know, I think they’ve learnt their lesson by now. They’re probably not gonna try doing anything like that again.”
“But um… thanks for the- um. For the offer…”
The Best Hand
@ask-glados Wheatley was just doing his usual rounds of work in tracking equipment and making sure that everything was in order when suddenly he heard a crash. He turned around and noticed that he had accidentally knocked over a box, resulting in all of its contents spilling out on the floor. “Oh, bother. Best get that all sorted out.” He brought out his claw and began picking up the miscellaneous items one by one. Among them were cards, dominoes, chess pieces and a couple of board game pieces here and there. He glanced up at the rack from where the box had fallen and noticed that it was placed in the wrong storage area. Items still scattered on the floor, Wheatley looked around the area trying to see where exactly this box was actually meant to be placed. “Hmm...”
[Meme] “You’ve done the unthinkable, you know. You’ve made me fall in love with something that isn’t neurotoxin or science.”
At that moment, it was as if all of Tesla’s world stood still. At that moment he could have recited all the world’s most prolific poetry to her. At that moment he could have dedicated some of his latest greatest inventions to her in admiration. An inventor’s breakthrough of Eureka. A scientist’s muse. What could he possibly reply to such simple jest that was possibly one of the most noteworthy of confessions to her true feelings...?
“...I’m... sorry...??”
“...”
“...”
#Real smooth, Tesla... real... smooth...
[Meme] “Why are you looking at me like that?”
“… ♡ …”
“ !!!!! – Oh! Right!”
“It was… oh, nothing, I was just… contemplating my methods of regulating apparatus for producing electric currents of high frequency…yes.”
