"You are simply experiencing a rare reaction in which the Material Emancipation Grill may have emancipated the ear tubes inside your head," the voice continues what it'd been saying.

In front of her there are stairs leading up to another double door.

...she doesn't have ear tubes.

Fuck it. Through the door.

A large sign lights up in front of her, showing the number 01 and a few symbols. The corridor turns right and drops down into a room made of mostly plants.

Ooo-kay.

Is the glass sufficiently shatterproof that she's going to have to deal with these buttons?

Those are far more breakable.

Oh good.

Cube to button.

"Good!" The door connected to the button opens. "Because of the technical difficulties we are currently experiencing, your test environment is unsupervised."

Oh really. What a surprise.

A lift is waiting for her.

"Before re-entering a relaxation vault at the conclusion of testing, please take a moment to write down the results of your test. An Aperture Science Reintegration Associate will revive you for an interview when society has been rebuilt."

He is attached pretty securely! "Aaaaah! Stop it stop it stop it why are you doing that!"

"Shut the fuck up."

This would be so much easier if she had the stupid sword, but noooo. Increase field strength and shut up about the damn safety limits.

Aaaand he's free. "Aaaah oh not dead okay. What'd you go and do that for!"

Will it fit through one of the holes in the wall?

Yep! "Excuse me! Do you understand me? Hello?"
