    Summary

    Calliope is reborn hundreds of years after dying by her father's hands. Destined to fulfill an evil purpose, she soon finds herself questioning all she ever knew when a strange boy finds his way to her homeland. Together, they must learn to navigate the ever-growing web of lies and deception they find themselves tangled in.

    Only one thing is certain: something dark looms on the horizon, far beyond even the reaches of Olympus. No matter what, Calliope will redeem herself of her father’s sins. She will have justice. She will have vengeance.

    Summary

    “Sorry, that was probably a weird analogy. Just… I don’t think you can linger on every moment like that you’ve ever lived through without going a little crazy, you know?”

    “Yeah, actually,” she sighs, and there’s something tired in it that grabs Robert’s attention, enough that he looks up and notices she’s looking away now, staring out towards the Hollywood sign in the distance. He’s never seen Blazer brooding — can’t really imagine what that would even look like — but this comes close.

    “What’s that tone mean?”

    Summary

    “You probably do not think this is cruel,” GLaDOS says suddenly, not taking her gaze from the mouse for a second, “After all, you have such enormous capacity for cruelty, I doubt you can recognise mistreatment even when it is right before your eyes. However, a normal human with basic abilities of empathy, love, and compassion, would correctly identify my treatment of this animal as cruel.”

    Chell says nothing.

    “However, if this experiment were to be submitted to an ethics committee, it would receive full approval. Cruelty, in and of itself, is not wholly banned in science, after all. It is simply needless cruelty, the kind you excel in, that is not permitted. What I am doing is necessary for testing conditions. What I do is the only way for knowledge to progress.”
    --
    Chell, GLaDOS, and the end of the world.

    Summary

    "I had it under control," he says, because apparently he can't help himself.

    "I can leave you here if you want." Her voice is even, no edge to it. Just offering.

    They both know she won't. They both know he didn't have anything under control.

    Or Robert tries his hand at dispatch missions, if only his girlfriend weren't his boss and one of the most powerful women on earth.

    Summary

    His suit smells of expensive plastic, metal (strongly), and a subtle, sharp scent she can't quite place. When it pulled off over her head, her eyes inadvertently fall on the bruises, the burns, on his face. The human version of exhaustion, with the wet eyes of a dog.
