Summary
The second they land on Vertumna, Solane starts acting weird. Cagy. Like they’re keeping secrets. No one else seems to notice, but that’s because humans are stupid. Sometimes Dys feels like the only one on this entire planet who ever takes any time to think.
...Whatever. It's not like he needs backup. Dys can figure this out on his own.
###
After watching Dys disappear into the Array in a thousand different lifetimes, Solane has had enough. They’re just going to have to keep Dys from ever finding out about the Gardeners. How hard could it be?

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.”

Summary
It must be a trick of her mind, though. Crystals don't know songs; they only sing, and she sings to them, with them, for them. She lands the pick again, and again, and each syllable twines around the tuning-fork hum of the crystals like a duet.
It's easy to lose your mind, alone in the dark.
