Overview
A Stalemate Associate, or in this case, Chell, is needed to press the Stalemate Button if there is any case of either core, either the corrupted core or the substitute core, disapproving of the core transfer protocol. Then, if the button is pressed, the core transfer will begin, regardless the condition of the core.. Humorously, only a "trained stalemate resolution associate" is permitted to press the stalemate resolution button.
