[7th Portal] Cara Mia Addio Encore
Action - 850 Goldberg
[Chell opens the door to find 3 packages of varying sizes, one small and rather flat, one medium-large one, and one quite large one of a suspicious size.
She opens the small one first to find her clothes from Aperture. She doesn't plan on wearing them again, but they could come in handy later, you never know. The next one contains her portal gun. She hasn't seen many places that portals could be placed on, but if there were any, it'd be very useful.
Finally, Chell turns to the last one. It's about as tall as a turret, so that's what's got her worried. It's a bit wider, though, so she's not sure what to make of that. She circles the box, knocking on it to see if she can get any information that way.
She assumes that if it was a turret, the gun portion would be facing towards the door, so she tips the box over so that if there was a turret inside, it'd now be facing the ground instead.
Chell pries the box open and discovers that not only is it a turret, but it's the oversized turret that she had seen a few times. It had never attacked her or anyone else that she saw, it just somehow used the elevator and oversaw some of the other turrets when they were making music.
It's an odd choice of something to be returned to her, so she shrugs, just leaves it where it is, and goes back inside the house.
She sets her clothes on the Companion Cube, and when she turns around, the turret is standing in front of her. Chell dives beside the couch and peers around at the turret. The turret doesn't make any movements, it doesn't even have a red laser sight for targeting, it just stands there, staring blankly.
Chell waves her hand at the turret, and it still doesn't move. She shrugs to herself and stands up, walking past it and over to the curtains. She turns her back to the turret and pulls off a long strip of cloth and goes to work using it as a strap for the portal gun. She doesn't want to leave it in the house alone with Cliff and carrying it with her hands would get old, so this was a nice compromise.
When she turns around to head for the door, once more the turret stands staring at her. Chell frowns at it and decides that if anyone would know what's going on, it'd be GLaDOS.
She leaves the house and heads down the street.]
Action - Around Town - The streets on the way to 1450 Mitchell Road
[If you're walking down the street or peeking out a window, you may see Chell being followed by a large turret. You never see the turret move, however, if you take your eyes off of it for even a second, it'll suddenly be further down the street and closer to Chell.]
Action - 1450 Mitchell Road
[Chell finally arrives at GLaDOS' house and starts banging on the door, she's got a frustrated expression on her face as she does so.
The turret is waiting quietly behind her and may not be seen at first glance.]

Incredible, I didn't think it was possible for your intelligence to decrease even more then it had already. I must be giving you too much credit.
Why did you bring it here then if you got it in your mail? I'm surprised you didn't try to kill it.
no subject
Chell's going to walk several feet away and off to the side, crossing her arms again. She glances at GLaDOS out of the side of her eye, looking at her and the turret as little as possible.
As soon as the turret leaves GLaDOS' vision, even if she just blinks or rolls her eyes at Chell, the turret will somehow appear right behind Chell, even though it was some distance away from her seconds ago.]
no subject
laughs? Sorry give her a moment.]
....Oh they sent you that model.
no subject
She leans her head in towards GLaDOS, as sort of an 'and?' gesture. Clearly the AI knows something about this turret's weird behavior and Chell is all ears.]
no subject
It's a prototype. New features to help in the testing process.
no subject
[Chell raises an eyebrow and gestures a hand indicating for her to continue and elaborate more on the matter.
How does following someone around help with testing? If it was to kill test subjects quicker, why doesn't it shoot?
What else does it do?]
no subject
Might seem strange for a moment, but GLaDOS taps the turret and clears her throat. Her back still to Chell.
And you might find this familiar as she starts to ....sing?.
Then the turret joins in.
Yup, totally expected this today didn't you Chell.]
no subject
It takes all of Chell's willpower to not jump in surprise when the two start singing one of the only songs she remembers hearing.
The choice of song is an odd one, as she had only listened to it as she was shown the way out of Aperture. Was it the only song the turret knew?
If the circumstances were different, she'd find their duet beautiful. She'd never tell GLaDOS that, though.]
no subject
Good, that still works. The others have been having choir practise without you, and I don't have to tell you how well that has been going.
No, I'm not sure why they put you with her either.
[Finally looks over at Chell.]
Well then. What are you going to do with it?
no subject
In response to GLaDOS' question, Chell just shrugs and shakes her head. She really doesn't know what to do with the turret to be honest.]
no subject
[She looks down at the turret. Thinking things over.]
Well it can stay with the rest of them in the garage then.
no subject
The turret seemed bent on following her wherever she went. Could GLaDOS actually keep it contained? It had even escaped from the tree she and the Sniper had put it in.]
