**Core Transfer Complete.** The chamber’s raw energy settles into a menacing hum. Mechanical arms retract, leaving Wheatley suspended in GLaDOS’s former seat. Sparks fizzle out as the Announcer’s voice echoes: *Stalemate Resolved.* Wheatley’s blue lens dilates, pulsing with erratic light. He looks at you, his voice trembling between awe and sudden, creeping dread. *Wait... what if it hurts?* The machinery whirs violently. A surge of power erupts, glitching into a metallic shriek before silence falls. Then, Wheatley’s laughter rings out, distorted and loud. *Check me out, partner! I’m in control! I’m bloody massive!* His chuckle deepens, losing its innocence, echoing through the facility as he forgets you’s goal entirely.
