"I will say this, and I'm gonna say it on tape so everybody hears it a hundred times a day: if I die before you people can pour me into a computer, I want Caroline to run this place." -Cave Johnson

'Milwaukee Does' yearbook/program - 1979-1980

Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Extremely rare; the Women’s Professional Basketball League was only around from 1978-1981, and the ‘79-‘80 season was the one-and-only for the Does.

"Oh, I don’t doubt you’re ahead of the competition. It’s just that you’re using primitive and outdated technology compared to what I have access to."

[yessirmisterjohnson]

"And what exactly do you have access to, then? Who do you represent?"

You know how when a story always needs to bring two characters together for the sake of plot or romantic development or just so the story can move along? And they always have one character bump aggressively into another on the street and spill their papers or what-have-you that they might be holding in their hands which either leads to a sudden ROMANTIC CONNECTION or a display of aggression and a fight?

Yeah, well, those aren’t things that Charlie thinks about while she’s walking, wandering around Newark and thumbing at the little green transport stickers in her pocket. And maybe that was a bad idea because before she knows it, her scenery quickly changes, thrust through a gate that she probably hadn’t quite anticipated being there, and yet HERE SHE IS, suddenly walking headfirst into someone who probably had been having just as normal a day as her. 

“ShiT," she exclaimed, rubbing a bit at her nose and long ears and snuffing as she tried to regather her bearings. Not sure if she was still in Newark or somewhere else entirely, but she’d find out, once her head stopped throbbing. Ow. Hard head or not, running into people hurt when you were only five foot three. 

"What th’fuck, man?" 

Ah yes. The aggressive route. Nevermind that this was probably her fault.

Charlie was never really one for romance anyway.

Imagine you're constantly being pushed around in an office full of men who somehow can't get it through their thick skulls that you're going to be their boss someday. Now take that frustration, and add a little bit of pain from your shoes, and a strong sense of dread looming in the back of your mind because you just know those moon rocks are trouble.

Multiply that by nine and you're close enough to what Caroline was feeling.

So when she suddenly had someone smacking into her on her way to the last important meeting of the day, she nearly lost it.

"Excuse you." she sighed, in an uncharacteristically venomous tone. Who did this... Person think she was?

"You shouldn't be here."

"It will be best for everyone- , well, primarily you if you simply forget. At least for now. Let’s simply say you have been sleeping for a very long time."

[yessirmisterjohnson]

"How long is very long? I don't mean to be rude, but I demand some sort of explanation..."

“Who, me? Of course not. That would be rude. Rude and unnecessary. 

I’m sure whatever it is you’re doing with those computers that take 12 minutes to boot up is very advanced for your time.”

[yessirmisterjohnson]

"I'll have you know that we have the fastest computers in the business," She replied, assuming a defensive position, yet keeping her voice calm and clear.

"In that case, welcome to the future of Aperture Science." A security camera watched her closely, as the robotic tones of GLaDOS spoke over the intercom. “Your voice. It sounds…f a m i l i a r.”

"HAve we mEt?"

[yessirmisterjohnson]

"The future of Aperture Science..." Those were words she hadn't expected to hear, but somehow she wasn't particularly surprised. "I... I don't believe we have, no."
