“Gentlemen, I give you: the long fall boot. Think of it as a foot-based suit of armour for the Portal device. I’m not gonna lie to you, it’s as expensive as hell. But check this out. We told this test subject to just go ahead and try to land on her head. Ha ha ha, she can’t do it. Good work, boots.”
We’re going to have fun, with science.
Never mind. It’s a mystery I’ll solve later, by myself, because you’ll be dead.
Oh—it’s you. It’s been a long time. How have you been? I’ve been really busy being dead. You know, after you murdered me.
The two of you have forged an excellent partnership.

Seven videogames: 𝕡𝕠𝕣𝕥𝕒𝕝 [3/7]
Do you know the biggest lesson I learned from what you did? I discovered I have a sort of black box quick-save feature. In the event of a catastrophic failure, the last two minutes of my life are preserved for analysis. I was able - well, forced really - to relive you killing me. Again and again. Forever.
You know, if you’d done that to somebody else, they might devote their existence to exacting REVENGE! Luckily, I’m a bigger person than that. I’m happy to put this all behind us and get back to work. After all, we’ve got a lot to do, and only sixty more years to do it. More or less. I don’t have the actuarial tables in front of me.
“And not just because I’m stranded in space.”
“I’m in space.”
“I know you are, mate.”
