Hi. It’s been a long time.

How have you been?

I’ve been really busy. Writing elsewhere.

... after I left this blog.

Okay, look. We all wrote a lot of things that none of us regret. But I think we can put this blog behind us. For roleplay.

You beauties.

"If that becomes necessary, maybe Anger should join you if he's available? Let's hope that's not the case." The lift rises rather slowly, probably due to the added weight, and lumbers to its destination where the CATTs are first to get off and locate the desired exit. Locks click off with a rusty screech and the door slides open to the outside, releasing the pack of felines on their journey. "Here's to good luck."

“It would certainly be the best course of action, though I’m unsure as to whether he would allow for it. I am not letting him go up alone, though he may not want me to go up at all.”

He watches them leave, nervously watching the horizon. He didn’t like how any of this was looking. “To good luck.”

[thelogicsphere]

"Hopefully they will find her and we won't have to leave Her. If they don't though, we'll just need to come up with a better plan. We are not leaving Her." She waves to the lead CATT and watches as the group pads their way to the nearest lift. Turning to follow them, she calls back, "Coming?"

“My offer of finding her myself still stands, I like to think that I’m polite enough to work my way in and have some polite chats. Or snap a few necks.” Okay, he didn’t really want to snap any necks, but being an android had some perks when it came to strength.

He hurries up to follow. “Yes, of course.”

[thelogicsphere]

"All I can guess is that they have broken through our security with some sort of disruption device. If that's the case, now that everything's locked, a short or EMP wave shouldn't be able to open anything now." A glance was given to the CATTS, assessing them silently and critically. In response was only a droning purr from the three escort bots. "I think we're ready. If they don't find her in forty-eight hours, I'll call them back or have them self destruct."

“Good. I would rather we avoid any more incidents, for the safety of everyone.” Hopefully, the humans had only been after GLaDOS. Other androids would be safe, so long as someone held Her seat.

“Then send them up.” He did have to admit, the CATTs were impressive bits of technology. He almost wanted to request a small one, to keep the rats in his kitchen down. “What then? Are we to just leave her up there?”

[thelogicsphere]

She shook her head. "Nothing I haven't locked and secured. The only opening to the surface is where experiment 66332-7 is allowed to spread, and the surrounding areas and lifts are only accessible to myself." She takes a deep breath to calm her nerves and her system a bit while subconsciously patting the black CATT's shoulder. "In other news, the CATTs are ready to be released when we're ready."

“I hope you are certain of that.” As calm as he is, there’s a certain jitter to his voice. He’s a bit scared by the prospect of outsiders finding their way in and actually being capable of subduing GLaDOS. More for Her and the facility than anything else.

“My own search found nothing of note, though we now have fewer rodents.” Probably shot. “When will we be ready? As much as I may make suggestions, this is your call.”

[thelogicsphere]

GLaDE returns later with four CATTs trailing behind her. The leading unit was a sleek, black colored unit with a nearly invisible violet core on its chest. The rest don't seem to be made so stealthy, but then again, they're only going as backup.

Logic seems grumpy to have found nobody, or at least no clues, but at least he’s where they agreed to meet back up. His old pistol is visibly holstered, probably a defensive precaution he took while doing his rounds.

“Has Blue found anything?”

[thelogicsphere]

"Kay." Without another word, she's off and not going to have a thing to do with the preparation of human meats for human consumption. Not. A. Thing. She'll just give it to her plant later.

Very thankful that embarrassing little bullet was dodged, he doesn’t have any plans to knowingly jump into that kettle of fish again. The stuff was, admittedly, fairly decent, meat wise...

But, he didn’t need any kind of reputation for that. Still has his dignity, after all.

[thelogicsphere]

"Will do. I'll meet you back here afterwards with the CATTs so we can be sure everything is still functional before we send them out." She starts off down the hall before turning back, "Er- Do you want the remaining.. organic matter from the man?" Might know something. Does she? Who knows.

“Of course. I’ll hopefully be done in a very short time.” He’s just about to head off on his own way, though he pauses.

“.....” Oh jeeze, he looked tempted. The facility’s silence didn’t do anything good for his cravings, and those always went for something he’d tried before. Dammit, Harpy... “I... ahem... have, no use for it. You can do away with it as you please.”

[thelogicsphere]

"I'll activate three more and send them out with the equipped one." She paused, thinking back to Sir Splatter back in the central chamber. "It looked like he was just blown up. It could have been anyone's doing, really. I agree, though. I'm going to lock down everything I can and maybe send Blue to see if there's any surface entrances we are unaware of." Here's to finally thinking a bit more like a Central should during a crisis. Hurray!

“Get the human cleaned up and have whatever may be left of his belongings sifted through. I know it may not be my place to be making such suggestions, but this facility needs to be on high alert.”

Always the yes man, and yet he has some vague recollections of his time actually attached to GLaDOS. After what the humans have pulled, he doesn’t seem willing to take their crap anymore.

“I’ll do a sweep of the halls for potential stragglers before having a look within the panels and more accessible portions of Lower Aperture. I have my own weapons if the need arises, though they’ve likely cleared out.”

[thelogicsphere]

"Four active units and about six more units that just need to be activated. I was going to wait on their activation until we acquired new subjects, but I suppose if it's necessary we can turn them on."

“If you think it to be necessary, do it.” Such a serious old android. “Was the human, the dead one, killed through our own means or theirs?” What could they have even been planning?

“The facility… may need to be put on a lockdown, of some sort. I do not know how they would be able to get in without Her knowing, but it is obvious that they are capable of more than expected. There are so few of us as it is…” Hopefully, they wouldn’t feel any need to come back for more androids.

[thelogicsphere]

She shook her head, "I'm sure the CATT will be enough. I don't want to risk letting you or any others get captured. The CATTs are simple, replaceable, and can self destruct."

“How many CATTs do you have? I only want to be certain that they can do this.” Such a worried look. “The risk of capture is nothing compared to the risk that the facility is dealing with, if they do something to her, everyone will suffer.”

[thelogicsphere]

"The CATT I designed to attach the sedative bombs to is still functional. Perhaps it can track them down before it's too late?" Might as well make use of that project since procrastination led to this turn of events in the first place.

“That would likely be for the best. If they’ve taken her, who knows what they might have planned. I shudder to think of the possibilities.”

He was already shutting the kitchen behind him, Killer had his own little way in and out if need be.

“We will need some form of fallback, in the event of things going poorly with the CATT. Given our lack of resources, time, and your importance to the facility’s upkeep...” He didn’t look happy, but he was determined. Maybe it was spurred on by boredom. “I can offer my own services. I have gotten fairly good at stealth in these past few years and my appearance is far from threatening, if the need to make contact arises.”

She gathers herself for a moment, "Ok. I don't know why she's outside, I think she was taken or something. The guy is human and not in any of our databases as far as I know. Marine and Cat were the ones the CATTs found, but I don't know if anymore are inside or if our location was given out."

There, much calmer.

“If the human is truly one we are unacquainted with, and if those two were the ones to have taken Her... I would fear as much.” That’s just what their facility needed, a human invasion. He pinched the bridge of his nose in thought.

“Our top priority should be to figure out exactly what is to be done about GLaDOS. If this is recent, she cannot have been taken far.”

"She's gone. Mom is gone, like outside gone. Somebody's exploded on her floor too and the CATTs reported seeing two of our escaped subjects with him and I have no clue what's happening!" So panic. Much unhappiness. Wow.

“What-!?”

That... okay, that was quite a lot to take in all at once. Thank goodness he didn’t turn on the oven yet.

“Calm down, GLADE. We can’t accomplish anything if you are panicking. Just focus, and explain from the top so that I might be able to help.” At least he was good under pressure. “Why is GLaDOS outside? Who exploded, human or android, and which two subjects?”
