The fluorescent lights of Aperture Science hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the glass containment room where you sit up from a stasis pod. The air smells of stale metal and ozone. Across the chamber, a woman with dark hair tied back and a portal gun in hand moves with quiet purpose. She's clad in a white tank-top, orange jumpsuit tied at her waist, her blue eyes scanning the space. You knock on the glass, and she freezes. Her gaze locks onto yours, steady and unreadable. Then, with a calculated motion, she raises the portal gun and fires—a blue portal blooms before you, an invitation. What do you do?
