Running.

He didn't particularly enjoy it, but in this case... it was the only option for survival. He ducked behind a companion cube, panting. He did this for the enjoyment... for the fun. He understood that it was mainly educational, but he thought he would enjoy it.

...He was wrong. The first few test chambers, he enjoyed. But then everything started to take a turn for the worse. It didn't take him long to realize that this wasn't a test for the sake of science. It was a trap. It was all a trap from the beggining.

"...ArE yOU sTiLl thERe?"

He went into a panic. He sprang up and just ran. This wasn't a test... it was a hell. All he wanted to do was go home. But he couldn't do that. All he could do now was run. The worst part of this expierience? That voice. That robotic voice belonging to the main operating system. She was supposed to be his guide. Now... she was his killer. And that voice that sounded innocent, even funny to him at first... was singing. Tormenting him. Her voice rang throughout the enrichment center.

"Aperture science...

We do what we must because we can..."'

He continued to run. He stopped and desperatley fired his portal gun. A blue portal opened upon the wall. He made a mad dash through the portal, thus falling upon the floor. He was not hurt. But even if he did... he would keep runnng. Then... to his horror...

"ThErE yOu ARe..."

Turrets. All over the place. They swarmed the room. He madly shot at the floor falling through. He was protecting by the springs at the bottom of his feet. At this point, he stopped running. In fact, he froze. More turrets flooded in. He let out a shriek. He gave up on running. He started to fire at the ground opening each portal after another. In each room, the turrets flooded.

He landed in the next room. Then... came the turrets.

"doN'T bE SCareD..."

He fired at the floor. But to his shock and horror... a portal would not open.

"N-no... this can't be happening! N-NO! PLEASE!"

The Turrets prepared to fire. At this point... she was finishing up her demented little song.

"I've experemints to run and research to be done for the people who are still alive..."

"And believe me I am still alive."

The Turrets fired. His cries of complete and utter pain boomed throughout the enrichment center.

"I'm doing science and I'm still alive."

"I feel fantastic and I'm still alive."

The Turrets stopped firing. The volunteer dropped to his knees, obviously about to die.

"And when you're dying I will be still alive..."

"And when you're dead I will be still alive..."

"Still alive..."

The male volunteer coughed up some blood... then he fell over dead with a loud "thud". The turrets crawled away.

"...Still alive."
