[What... in the world is that thing? A little, white, uncomfortably sterile robot is stationed in the hall. It's got an eye of sorts. A piercingly red eye that gives off a light sort of like a laser pointer.

It's... scanning. For what? For you! If you happen to pass by it's sight, it lets out a cheerful (albeit somewhat concerned) little chirp;]

Hello!

[obfuskate]

... Hello?

[um

okay]

Hn. [He slowly and cautiously approaches the robot with the laser pointer eye. Good thing he's not a cat or else he'd be chasing that thing.] What... are you?

[Just kind of looking it over...]

[takemewithyou]

[Blink blink.]

Looking.

[It resumes scanning the hallway. Perhaps it's looking for someone in particular.]

[obfuskate]

... That does not answer my question.

[Oh, great, another genius.]

[takemewithyou]

[Hmmm. Not paying attention to you anymore, hedgehog!

It's seems to be amusing itself now. Spinning its laser sight in a neat circle around Shadow.]

[obfuskate]

What-...

Stop that. Now.

[He's kind of in a defensive stance now. What's this thing doing? Who knows, but just in case it wants to attack, he's ready to bash it in.]

[takemewithyou]

[Well. Alright. If you insist. It's little light flickers off and it. Well, it can't exactly stare, but it's a bit like that, isn't it?]

[obfuskate]

[... CREEPY]

Answer the question. What are you?

[AND STOP DOING THAT...........]

[testsubject1]

[OH SON OF A-- This school is horrible and Chell hates it. Luckily, though, she has her companion cube in case that thing fires at her. But for now, she needs to find a way to dismantle it.

Luckily, by the magic of dressing rooms, she has her portal gun, so she carefully opens a portal above the turret, ready to drop her cube on it.]

[takemewithyou]

[!]

Wait! ... I'm different!

[DON'T HURT IT, CHELL.]

[testsubject1]

[Chell did hesitate slightly upon hearing that. She had heard most of the pre-recorded turret phrases from the ones that have attacked her, but never have they said anything like this.'

A new upgrade of the turrets? Maybe. But GLaDOS was here at the school.

And... the turret would have attacked her by now.

But still. She holds up the cube, indicating that if the turret makes one wrong move, then BAM.]

[takemewithyou]

[It scans Chell again and again, taking it's time deciding what to do next. It's as if the thing is thinking.]

I'm looking for someone.

[It averts it's laser sight from Chell, almost as if it's shyly glanced away.]

[testsubject1]

[The light on the turret scanned her but didn't shoot. Chell is still tense, but it seems the turret won't hurt her. Yet.

She slowly moves the cube away, then, though she still clutches to it.]

[takemewithyou]

[It hesitates. It goes back to scanning Chell. Carefully and almost thoughtfully in the way it lingers in certain places. Particularly at her Portal Gun...!]

Take me with you.

[testsubject1]

[Chell glares at the turret. No thanks, she'd rather let you suffer. However, every time Chell's been able to carry a turret, it was too stupid to attack her, since she was out of its line of vision.

So she picked the turret up then and carried it with her, setting it atop her cube.]

[omg_space]

Hey.

[takemewithyou]

Hellooooo!

[omg_space]

Hey. Heeeey. Have you ever been to space? I went to space once.

[operatingbuddy]

Hello.

[takemewithyou]

[Beep boop. What a primitive-looking thing! :(]

What is your purpose?

[operatingbuddy]

[Says the thing that falls over if a strong breeze hits it.]

I am a laboratory assistant/administrative unit. My designation is Robotic Operating Buddy, also known as R.O.B. Query: What is your function?

[stay_classy_cat]

[Oh curse these insipid feline instincts sometimes! He knows it's foolish but he just can't help himself.

There is a big, beige cat chasing that infernal, un-pounceable red dot on the wall.]

... this is great.

[takemewithyou]

[It just keeps managing to escape, doesn't it? Even when you think you've gotten it trapped under your paws, the dot just flickers on again nearby.

The turret, if it could seem anything, might've seemed amused with the oversized kitty.]

[stay_classy_cat]

[Come here fiendish dot! I'll rake the skin off your bones--no no hold still and come back here!

POUNCE!

Stop moving and die! There! Over there!

THUMP!

Eventually, the cat will however, catch a glimpse of the source of the laser and--MRRREEEOOOWWWW SWEET MERCIFUL MONEY HE'S BEEN BLINDED!

The cat hisses and paws at his face, obviously irritated. Someone will pay dearly for this...!]

GLaDOS was walking through the hallways, hoping to get to the lab before the students all rushed into them to get to the cafe. However, she immediately stopped when she saw the little turret in the hallway.

After a few seconds, the AI approached it. She doubted it would recognize her appearance, but her voice would be unmistakeable.]

Hello.

[takemewithyou]

[The little bot takes it's time scanning GLaDOS. Pause. And it scans again, almost as if it's done a double-take.

It seems to hesitate before finally asking her;]

... Have you seen him?

[did_well_enough]

[This was one different, that much was obvious. Probably defective, but who knows? Maybe this will be amusing.]

Seen who? The moron?

[takemewithyou]

[No. That's not right. Certainly not a moron.

It doesn't seem to know what to say. It's sensor moves away, as if it's avoiding eye-contact. Well, if it had any eyes with which to make contact with. Is it nervous...?

Finally, it spits out a quote. It doesn't seem to know how else to express itself.]

Don't make lemonade.

I AM THE LASTEST EVER

I take it you mean Mr. Johnson?
