    Summary

    Many things can happen after the events of Portal 2. I urge you to turn away if you do not like sarcasm, mistrust, and music by the likes of Frank Sinatra, as this telling of the events afterward is chock full of all 3 of those things. It's doubtful that GLaDOS has the capacity to trust anyone who has destroyed her life-work, or of Chell to trust anyone at all, much less a man who was painting her face on walls for years, but we shall see.

    Summary

    It is 1996. Cave Johnson is long dead. The GLaDOS project is long shelved. As CEO, Caroline has been slowly but surely dragging Aperture Laboratories out of bankruptcy. When twelve-year-old Chell and her mother move into town, Chell finds herself planted in Aperture as a part of a larger Black Mesa plot. When she gets an opportunity to smuggle out blueprints for the coveted portal gun, Chell and her unlikely new friend Doug Rattmann learn just how far Caroline is willing to go to protect Aperture’s last secret.

    Summary

    "Corvo looks at the tub, and the towels, and he checks the lock on the door (again) (and again) (it’s sturdy, but he checks it again). And he looks at the mirror." Character study piece. Corvo is out of prison. This does not mean that he is OUT.

    Summary

    "The only things he needs to know here are his scars and his flesh and the trembling deep in his bones, things simple and essential." Character study piece. The light of day is blinding upon Corvo's escape from prison; but as he crawls through the sewers toward freedom, he has more immediate pains to worry about.
