Chell felt another smile spread across her face as she picked at the grains of dirt and pebbles that clung to her hands. It was warm to the touch and pressing her hands a firmer into the ground made little pebbles bite into the skin of her palms. To anyone else it would be a simple thing, but the road made Chell drop to her knees and place her hands against the ground. She took several steps back and forth just relishing the sound of her heel springs making contact with the pavement. Setting the cube to the side, Chell looked down at the street as if it was the first time seeing one. It wasn’t until the crunch of dirt turned to the sound of metal tapping against stone that she noticed she had walked out onto a street. She didn’t even look up to see that the grass turned to barren dirt. She didn’t look up as she left wheat behind to give way to yellow grass. If she kept the idea that she was in a simulation, that this was all a trick, then she wouldn’t be disappointed when she found the truth.Īll the while, Chell never took her eyes off the companion cube. She would walk twenty steps and if she didn’t hit a wall, then she would walk twenty more. Eventually she would find the edge of a room and this entire area would be revealed to be fake. One foot in front of the other, but there was this nagging feeling that she was going to hit a wall. Picking up the cube, Chell started her walk towards the town. If it became a burden, then she would leave it behind with no strings attached. Whatever the reason, she didn’t want to leave it behind. Was it the small pink hearts? How it became both a stepping stone and shield in a test chamber? Or was it that, if you listened closely, you could hear music coming from some internal mechanism in the cube? Why did a box that served no purpose but to block high powered projectiles and push buttons provide such comfort? It was one of the strangest things that Chell could never understand. It was big and a little heavy without a portal gun to carry it with, but it was also comforting. Despite hating Aperture, the boots could still be useful.Ĭhell then looked to her companion cube. She was glad that she got to keep the Long Fall Boots. Chell jumped from the roof of the shed and smiled. Building meant a town, a town meant people, and people meant anyone that wasn’t a robot. They looked to be rectangular in shape from her vantage point so that made Chell think it could be a series of buildings. Out to the east Chell could make out gray silhouettes that couldn’t be trees. To the west looked to be a tree line, but the east seemed to offer the best option. To the North, all she could see was wheat. Using the cube, Chell stood on top of it and then clambered up onto the roof of the shed.Īs it turned out, the wheat went on for miles in several directions. She could use the shed but that was a bad idea for several obvious reasons. Not in a place that GLaDOS might still be able to see.Įventually Chell would need to find shelter. Chell was currently sitting on top of her companion cube and just gazing at the expanse of blue above her. Not synthetic wheat and hologram clouds, but actual living world. She had already tested the area and it was real. “Hurry for they wander without knowledge.”Ĭhell could hardly believe it.
