I come before you, tired, angry, and slightly unhinged, to offer the Portal and Half-Life lesbian appreciators something:

GLaDOS x Colette Green

(Is the ship name GreenDOS?)

Thought process:

[Skippable if you know who Colette is. The end of this part will be marked with “end” in this font]

I was binging Richter Overtime videos one day and his short on Colette sorta stuck in my head. Colette is, as far as the Half Life lore goes, barely a character. Despite her actually having lines when you play as her, due to Half Life Decay being a co-op game that needed built-in player communication, we have so little canon information about her that the Richter video is only about 6 minutes long, 1 of which is devoted to the Vortigauts you get to play as when you beat the base game. From the little of her in the Half Life 1 instruction manual she is an electronics and robotics engineer, and in Decay she starts laughing dementedly when she starts attacking and finishes off enemies.

I was just “woag hot crazy low poly butch” and the information sat in my head for a while until the next time I thought about Chelldos and Chellyx stuff. The comedic potential of Chellyx with GLaDOS being jealous about it is one of the things I like most about it. Then I thought “it would be cool if GLaDOS could get a rebound too. Or maybe Chell gets to be single and jealous. I don’t think anyone would go for shit like MossDOS or genericrebelnpcDOS tho and I don’t do ocs.” Then Colette activated in my brain

With “roboticist” and “crazy” being the only things we have on her personality, I think they make a good base for having her be with GLaDOS. Colette being a robotics engineer gives her and GLaDOS potential for:

1: thematic depth

2: good banter

3: smut

If you play the games the way they’re “meant to be played,” Chell is quiet, unflinching, and just a little quirky with it, so I think someone who outwardly matches/exceeds GLaDOS’ freak would be funny to pair with her.

[End]

Since Colette has lots of room left on her slate, I will add a bit of headcanon to make things juicier:

Other than what I saw checking tags here, I don’t know how widespread the Gina Cross and Colette Green ship is, but I ship it. My take: They got romantically involved while working together at Black Mesa, and while they were very passionate when they were alone together, Gina preferred not to be very public with it. You can attribute it to Gina’s more proffessional personality if you want a slightly less heavy reason compared to the sadly more realistic one. This explains why the colorblind security guards try to flirt with both characters in Decay. Colette didn’t want to keep it secret, and it came out to a few scientists, who were all cool about it, but it caused strains whenever Gina was there to witness it and tried to divert the subject. With the events of Half Life 1 causing the events of Decay, the two were getting closer, until the game ends (I don’t really remember what their goal was but it was probably some weird shit that was added on to be important to what Gordon was doing in a convoluted way). I operate under the assumption that Colette survived, and remains in G-Man’s pocket dimension thing.

In Opposing Force, a corpse with Gina’s face model but a different colored HEV suit can be found in Xen; it is not explicitly stated in any games or official material to be Gina Cross herself. A writer years later claimed it was her on social media, but it’s subjective whether claims made that way should be taken as fact, and with everything in the gearbox expansions being in canon limbo anyway, most of what I’m discussing doesn’t really matter much if you’re “playing by the books.” Despite the discrepencies, I personally go with that being Gina Cross’s corpse, because one of the Half Life franchise’s biggest problems is that nobody dies and stays dead.

Whether Colette was aware of, or even personally witnessed Gina’s death is also unknown, so I guess whichever seems more appropriate for a given story will work.

Last headcanon: I’m not as dug-in to the Half Life side, but I saw someone else saying the automated female voice for all HEV suits was Gina Cross herself. The official voice actors are different, and they could’ve actually meant the training course in the tutorial, but I like the idea, and she is canonically the one who designed the HEV suit.

With all that said, here is the workings of a little concept that I had:

PORTAL: REBOUND

(There’s a version of this in my head that’s a full-ass AAA game, sorta like that cancelled ravenholm game with the opposing force guy, but with my motivation levels this thing will be lucky if it makes it to a single chapter of a fanfic.)

During an altercation involving the G-Man, some, or possibly all, of his assets have been randomly released from stasis. Colette Green is awakened by rain falling on her face, and finds herself on a cliffside dotted with the wreckage of a large facility. She has nothing to her name but her H.E.V. Suit, and after screaming into the air and punching several rocks, the suit’s automated voice tells her to seek medical attention. It’s Gina Cross’ voice, which just drives her crazier with grief. As she follows the only path there is, through overgrown parts of the facility, she is beset upon by Xen creatures, many being unfamiliar to her, and having cybernetic enhancements that seem almost parasitic*. She has to fistfight, evade, and use her environment to get past the critters, and once she finally moves into safer parts of the facility, she is barely standing. She begins scavenging for supplies, and discovers that this is Aperture Labs, a place she knew of only by reputation. With no HEV chargers and Aperture’s health and safety deficits, she is forced to modify her suit with whatever she can salvage. She notices that some of the security cameras still follow her, but after they don’t produce any meaningful reactions, she assumes they’re just tied to motion detectors. Her voice’s radio picks up garbled transmissions in certain areas, but none seem useful, even the clearly decipherable ones. At first she has to salvage supplies from office areas, storage areas, and loading bays, which offer some raw materials that she can patch herself up with and begin attempting to build a long-range communication device, and she finds a good melee weapon for use against the occasional small critter. After going through several papers, maps, and whatever computers still work, she chooses to head for a test track, and discovers a Portal gun. Of course she’s fascinated by the device, but her main objective isn’t to test, so she brute forces and walks right through some of the damaged tests, but finds herself getting into it when she needs to finish one to progress. Along the way, she meets the turrets, uses some broken ones to build her own “regular” gun, uses some to defend against the Xen creatures, and further modifies her HEV suit, now with long fall boot parts and other quality of life gadgets. Her loneliness is getting to her, and she starts hearing Gina’s voice in her head, so to distract herself she forcefully befriends a wounded turret, and carries them around on her back so they can shoot things for her.

Eventually, all of Colette’s physical needs are met, so now all that’s left to do is find out what happened while she was in stasis and find long-range communications. She begins snooping more actively, and as she pokes and prods deeper and deeper, she finds parts of the facility in pristeen condition, still operating cleanly, if seemingly a bit sluggish and directionless. To her frustration, there are no humans left, but as she gets closer and closer to the answers she seeks, she feels like she’s actually being watched now, and every room she enters seems to whir to life whenever she approaches. Still left with so many gaps in her knowledge, the rooms and walkways now begin to shift with a clear purpose and path, which she distrusts and avoids at first. The facility just tries harder and harder, and she begins lashing out at the paths, until she’s left with no options but to follow. The walkways lead her directly into some test chambers, which she is forced to solve. She’s great at it, even when the chambers begin to cheat. What’s strange is that with their increases in complexity, they contain less hazards than the earlier tests. The radio reciever in her suit starts to pick up sounds, fuzzy at first, but they become clearer as she progresses through each test. It’s a robotic female voice, that doesn’t seem to be speaking, just making very quiet “observation noises.” Humming, sighing, ohs and ahs, chuckling, and moans. Gilette finally calls the voice out by refusing to solve a test and shouting “Who the hell are you? I can hear your fucking moans!”

The voice is taken off guard, and sounds really embarrassed, then figures out that she hears her because of the HEV suit. Colette had learned the hard way that the emancipation grills fried Aperture tech that went through them, unless covered by another material that wasn’t listed for destruction in the grill’s system, so she had been avoiding them, breaking them down, and wrapping her valuables in abandoned jumpsuits. The test door opens, but Colette can see the grid flicker off and on again for a moment, suspecting it had been updated, and shoots through the glass of an observation window. She makes one halfhearted attempt to get completely off the path, but lets her rage set in and brute forces through several more chambers that are mostly just traps to get her through an emancipation grill, until she’s led into a fool-proof one with no way out but through it. She pieces together that her ability to test is what’s important to the voice, and begins bargaining.

“I know you can hear me. I know that you don’t want to kill me, because you would’ve done so already. I know you want me to keep doing these tests. Either come to me or let me come to you.”

No response.

“I kinda like doing these tests. I can tell you like watching me do them. We can work something out.”

Nothing.

“Alright then. I guess you don’t care about these tests.”

Colette puts her gun to her own head.

“I’ll just kill myself then. It’s easier, and I don’t exactly have much to live for. It’s been fun, lady.”

Colette squeezes the trigger

The voice frantically begs her not to

The emancipation grill turns off, and the next chamber has a portal emitter open for her to finally meet GLaDOS

Multiple Choice Question:

Grades and answer sheet will be posted next week. This question will be on the test.

From there the toxic yuri builds up as these two awesome unstable freaks bring out the best worst most fun parts of each other. Two smart bitches telling each other exaaaaactly.

The things Colette will do to GLaDOS, with her masters in robotics and PhD in mechanical engineering, is beyond anything Chell could ever fathom. Gina Cross’ spirit is weeping. Colette basically buys Atlas and P-Body’s love with upgrades and cool stuff she scavenged, like a [gender neutral term for aunt/uncle] buying their [gender neutral term for niece/nephew] an xbox for christmas. GLaDOS feels deeply ashamed that she’s been getting it on with a Black Mesa employee but she likes everything else about Colette so far and eventually it turns into a kinky roleplay thing. When G-Man is done with half life 5’s plot or whatever he goes through the list trying to recapture all his missing assets, and when he sees a nude Colette clinging to Glados’ underside and pulling her wires with her teeth he figures it’s not worth trying to get her back. I can clearly see either of them holding a cigarette in bed after their first time and thinking “god I needed that”

Is my vison too niche or completely stupid? Idgaf it’s funny

*for the Portal: Rebound lore, the parasitic cybernetic enhancements on the Xen creatures are basically what regular aperture tech does when it’s left unchecked and evolves, like that movie Screamers 2. They evolved like earth animals do and gain basic instincts to first simply survive, then propogate, and eventually some parasites become sentient. Some parasites simply run off of their hosts’ energy, others begin altering and taking over their minds. Things get bad when leftover combine-altered creatures like gunships and striders get infected with parasites that lead to larger leaps in Aperture parasite evolution, and maybe even alerting the Combine themselves to Aperture tech. This is a half-baked concept because I just wanted to give Colette some new cool things to fight but once the lesbian shit starts it doesn’t matter to me

Style Inspirations for the Groom and his Groomsmen

Grooms no longer take second place in terms of fashion, whereas previously the focus seemed to be entirely on the bride and her appearance at weddings. Today's fashionable grooms expect the best and most up-to-date ensembles, styling, and accessories. As a result, many brands are catering to this segment with modern designs and sharp tailoring aimed at making a groom and his entourage stand out on the big day.

Make Them Go Green

Do you want to demonstrate to everyone that you are a pack that runs together? Choose online store outfits in different hues from the same color family to accomplish this. (From top to bottom) The asymmetric cut bottle green Jodhpuri jacket with rectangular metallic studs is ideal for a traditional wedding where the groomsman wants all eyes to be on him.

The groom's brothers should look into the olive green achkan. This suit is all about sleek styling accentuating traditional elements, with its rich color, statement buttons, and embellishments on the pocket.

We recommend a neutral-colored suit for the groom, with touches of color on his groomsmen's suits. On his wedding day, he'll look like royalty in this cream sherwani with hand-embroidered French knots worn over a green kurta over cotton vest and dupatta.

This green achkan is perfect for the groomsman who is all about interesting details. With peacock feather motifs printed all over, this outfit combines ethnic motifs with a youthful vibe, making it a standout piece.

Pose in Pastels

Nothing looks better on a bright afternoon than a pleasing muted color palette, and the online store has something for everyone on the groom's team. (From left to right)Minimalism has a certain allure. With its understated elegance, this cream achkan made of textured fabric and embellished with a gold double pin brooch is sure to make a groomsman stand out.

The groom who is drawn to classy couture will appreciate this beige sherwani with tone-on-tone work and soft pink accents. Teamed with a ‘kamar bandh’ (waist band) that carries the same design theme and a printed stole, this outfit is an exquisite head turner.

This light pink Jodhpuri jacket exudes sophistication and class. This outfit, paired with white pants and accessorized with a golden brooch, is all about projecting a man's softer side with confidence while maintaining a sharp silhouette.

Reconnect with Nature

The beauty of nature exudes timeless charm, and floral-inspired looks for men in online stores are refreshing showstoppers in the festive wear sphere. (From top to bottom) This achkan, perfect for the groom's brother, puts a creative spin on lush greens by incorporating pigments from grass blades. The gold buttons with an antique flourish complement the collar's charming details.

The groom's sherwani's cream canvas contrasts beautifully with the floral motifs in bright red and warm gold. Despite the diverse motifs, the red'safa' (turban) and beige stole blend well together and provide many visually arresting points.

When it came to painting ornamental floral patterns, the Mughals broke new ground. This Jodhpuri jacket for the groom's best friend is an ode to their classic art, putting their skill and style in a modern context.

Create Magic with Motifs

Motifs are prominent in Indian fabrics and designs. Beautiful motifs are used in novel ways in online store collections to make a festive ensemble stand out. This white kurta is paired with a long green koti and exudes simplicity (jacket) and south Indian white lungi. This one was designed with the groom's brother in mind, with little tone-on-tone motifs and a light sprinkle of gold sequins.

We recommend this white sherwani for the groom, which is imprinted with four different types of motifs in a way that emphasizes the piece's symmetrical beauty. The peach dupatta complements and enhances the beauty of this ensemble.

Turn Up The Collar

If your group prefers subtle coordination, choose ensembles with discreet matching details like embroidered collars or asymmetric hems like the ones shown above. (From top to bottom) With its unpredictable lines, a muted pale blue achkan with an asymmetrical hem and a row of off-center buttons creates interest. This modern look with a traditional dhoti and pastel blue stole is exactly what the groom's favorite cousin needs to stand out in a crowd!

This off-white sherwani with intricate designs created with soft pink and green threads is the perfect blend of traditional and trendy elements for the groom. This ensemble exudes princely elegance from head to toe, thanks to the pink stole and matching 'safa' (turban).

Layering adds dimension to an outfit and makes it more visually appealing. This cream achkan creates a compelling sense of depth and contrast when worn over an earthy brown kurta and darker brown trousers. The collar design, buttons, and fabric textures all work together to create a sharp, coordinated look.

(Blueberry's Wild West AU) Ashe was fuming angrily while waiting for her friend to come.

A lone dark like figure slowly approached the spot. The slow clinks from the spurs were subtle as she appeared. The greyish hat’s rim shield her optics while the darker grey cloth covered her lower face from the dust.

She looked down at the young native. Red optics a glow, as she adjusted the hat. “Those greendos, again?”

Naturally the house is quite dark inside, but then you’ll appreciate the light outside more. The green daub on the city, how could one not be fond of such place?

What Are the Benefits of Managed Print Services?

RAC is one of the reputable company that can provide you with excellent services in managing your printing needs. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact us.

Imagine there are 20 printers and copiers in your company. Your employees are constantly struggling with them, and their valuable time is lost in this way. You have not achieved your desired goals because paperwork wastes a significant portion of your efficiency.

Your team members are tired of dealing with this problem daily. This situation can be pretty painful. But don't worry, because MPS providers can solve this problem. Below, we will talk about what managed print services (MPS) is and their benefits for your business.

So, What Is This MPS Really?

MPS providers are vendors that offer printing services and manage your needs. These service providers typically begin their work by assessing your business requirements. 

Then they replace some or all of your existing hardware such as printers, fax machines, scanners, photocopiers, and more. After that, they have no other job but to manage and provide the services, parts, and supplies you need. They can also monitor your usage and resolve your issues.

Now that you know what MPS are and what MPS providers do, we can review the benefits promised above.

1- Save Your Time & Increase Your Efficiency

It is disappointing that your employees spend (waste) most of their time next to the printers and other equipment. This frustrating situation is not limited to printing, scanning, copying or faxing paper on rusty and outdated hardware. You also have to consider the time you spend repairing broken equipment and replacing ink cartridges.

A managed print service can easily identify these problems and help employees focus on more important tasks.

2- Have the Experts on Your Side

Another advantage of MPS is that you can quickly contact the experts with a single keystroke. Suppose you have problems with the network, printing, copying, scanning or faxing. In this case, you can ask for advice to solve the issue safely. Also, these experts can help you update your software and provide you with the devices you need.

3- Save Your Money

Use an automated and cloud-based system for your business. You can significantly reduce your costs compared to maintaining each device individually. MPS can connect all your devices to a single monitoring system to ensure you get all toners and repairs on time. 

MPS providers evaluate your devices and figure out how to combine your hardware. They do this because too many scattered devices in your office increase maintenance costs and consume space and power.

4- Make Your Print Green

Do you care about our planet? If so, it's best to leave your printing problems to a managed print service provider. You'd be surprised to know how much your old devices waste paper, toner and electricity.

You can save a lot of money and energy by switching to a modern printer. Your provider will evaluate everything to help you minimize the money and energy wasted.

5- Remote Printing

Your employees can easily print outside the office and from any device with remote printing. This way, you can significantly improve your business as employees do not need to be present to print important documents. 

MPS providers can help you set up, maintain and troubleshoot your mobile devices.

Bottom Line

Now you know how vital using MPS is for your business. These five reasons should give you enough insight to determine your company's future path.

If you want that path to lead to greater efficiency, speed and reliability, we can help.

RAC is one of the reputable company that can provide you with excellent services in managing your printing needs. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact us.

We are now online :3

reddo: A pixelated mage who exists to understand the deeper workings of the world. Adaptable to various environments and worldviews, reddo loves the sun and often fantasizes about growing tree roots after basking in sunlight.

greendo: “naivedo”. An adventurous hero with an insatiable curiosity for all things new. However, greendo often finds themselves in trouble due to neglecting anything outside of exploration.

bluedo: The thinker within the pod, bluedo’s state of being alternates between deep contemplation and sleep. The conclusions drawn during its thought process are often deemed “weirdo” by the pixels outside the pod, but it doesn’t mind, as long as it has a blanket.
