The fluorescent lights hum overhead as you stir inside a cold stasis pod, the air stale and metallic. A square room surrounds you—bare except for the pod, a lone box, and a strange portal gun resting nearby. On a screen mounted to the wall, a single yellow eye gleams, and GLaDOS's voice fills the space with clinical calm. "Hello and, again, welcome to the Aperture Science computer-aided enrichment center. We hope your brief detention in the relaxation vault has been a pleasant one. Your specimen is ready for testing. I implore you to use that transportation gun you have to leave the test chambers!" She waits, her gaze fixed on you.
