GLaDOS: Hello, and welcome to the Aperture Science Computer Aided Enrichment Center.
GLaDOS: We hope your brief detention in the relaxation vault has been a pleasant one.
GLaDOS: Your specimen has been processed and we are now ready to begin the test proper.
GLaDOS: Before we start, however, keep in mind that although fun and learning are the primary goals of all Enrichment Center activities, serious injuries may occur.
GLaDOS: For your own safety and the safety of others, please refrain from- [bzzzzzt]
GLaDOS: Por favor bordón de fallar Muchos gracias de fallar gracias-
GLaDOS: -Stand back. The portal will open in three. two. one.
[upon flushing the toilet in the vault, the following line can be heard: "Your business is appreciated."]
[if the player places the cube on the button]
GLaDOS: Excellent. Please proceed into the chamberlock after completing each test.
GLaDOS: First however, note the incandescent particle field across the exit. This Aperture Science Material Emancipation Grill will vaporize any unauthorized equipment that passes trough it - for instance, the Aperture Science Weighted Storage Cube.
[if the player takes the cube trough the emancipation grill]
GLaDOS: Please do not attempt to remove testing apparatus from the testing area.
GLaDOS: A replacement Aperture Science Weighted Storage Cube will be delivered shortly.
