Have you ever seen those celebrity couples? You know the ones where both people involved are really famous but you would have never in a million years put them together. Sure they do look great together and they seem to have some sort of weird chemistry but in the back of your mind you are just praying "God, please don't let them have kids together." Well then you've seen some form of my parents.  Father was a Member of Parliament and mother was a French model fresh from Paris. Proud and vain I don't know how they found each other. Probably at one of those really high society parties if I had to guess though. They didn't really love each othe

Sleep mode was much different from normal human sleep It was like blacking out completely. There was no gently drifting off involved. It was just blackness and then the process would start. It most of the time consisted of an 8 bit video game cores could play in her head while the rest of their body filed away data ran simple calculations and recharged for a period of time. Cores were actually still lucid during sleep mode. They could answer and respond to questions and preform simple tasks. Socee's sleep mode however had been compromised. images and memories would come flooding in her head. Kind of like dreaming only much more chaotic. It w

"Welcome to the glorious rebirth of Aperture radio!" Socee continued walking further away from the lair as she broadcasted. She had a wide grin across her face as she continued talking. "No doubt my number of listeners has decreased dramatically but I'm sure there are many of you who are hearing me for the first time. So allow me to explain what exactly this is. See back when humans worked here the place was a very stifled office. Nearly everyone who worked here was on some kind of antidepressant. It was really sad. So the brilliant HR team decided to start a little radio station to lift the spirits a bit. But it was always piping the dulle

"Ooooh! This one! This is the one!" Socee nodded with a huge grin on her face. She was holding a large plastic black disk with a little circular label in the center. Her grin then faded just as quickly as it appeared. "No not this one. What was I even thinking?" She discarded it into a pile of other large black plastic circles. Chell had been watching Socee do this for quite some time now. It was a strange cycle of joy and disappointment that repeated itself over and over with each new black disk. Socee was so disenchanted with her own progress that she didn't even bother to put them back in their little files or "lapels" as she called them.

"What's with that stupid look on your face doll? You're acting like you don't know me." The android chuckled. Chell didn't know how to respond. If she claimed "Yes" there'd be no end to the amount off lies she'd have to keep up with. But she answered "No" the robot might go off into another attack. The grin started to fade from the android's mouth. "You don't remember do you?"  the words came out slow as the revelation hit her in waves. "I- um…" Chell started trying to think of something. "You don't have to lie to me intern." She released her. "I could see it in your expression. You have no idea who I am. To be expected I suppose. If

Deep within the depths of Apertures main laboratory in a room plastered with strange large tiles, where the walls curved and shaped a dome, a vast mess of matted and tangled wires hung from the center of the room. The wires lead into the back of very large chassis. And the chassis hocked into the back of an even larger android. The android hadn't always been this huge. The change had only come a few weeks ago. When with help of a very capable human, he became the new manger of Aperture laboratories. Unfortunately that turned out to be a little more life changing than he thought. Not only with the very dramatic size change, but he began to get

Ted and the Once-ler left the lerkim in search of the lorax. They walked all over the recovering  valley calling out for the mustache. They looked in every nook and crany. No stone was left unturned. But it seemed like the Lorax had disappeared. "I can't find him any where." Ted reported back to the Once-ler. "This is too strange. In all the time that I've known him I've never been able to avoid the lorax. But now I can't find hide or hair of him…" The Once-ler pondered "Maybe we're just not yelling loud enough?" Ted offered. "Ted not all problems can be fixed by yell-" "HEY LORAX COME OUT! THE ONCE-LER WANTS TO TALK TO YOU! IT'S IM
