Crunck Co. Engineering

*You wake up in a small glass room, as you look around you see small clock counting down and you hear a robotic female voice*
"Hello and welcome to this Crunck Co. Computer Aided Enrichment Center Activity. We have brought you here because of your interest in engineering, your test will begin in 3...2...1."

*A hole opens up in the floor* "Please jump into the hole to begin your test. And remember, Although fun and learning are the key points of the test death and serious injury may occur. Have fun."

*When you land in the room you see a chair in a spot light with your name on it, when you sit in the chair chains come out and lock you into the chair. The lights come on and you see that you are in a sweat shop with various races from all over Azeroth chained up and you hear the voice again*

"We are sorry to tell you this but you have failed the test and are now a full time employ of Crunck Co. there will be snack and bathroom break once ever twelve hours. Enjoy your new home employ of Crunck Co.

Remembering you have a hearth stone you wait for your bathroom break and start to cast your teleport hoping to make your way home. and as your vision goes hazy from the hearth you realize that there has been a mistake... You are back in the glass room and the voice comes on over the speakers clearly pleased.

"Well done, you are one of the first to remember there hearth stone, we are -vary- please with how fast you realized, please proceed to the first test. Oh and remember, the hearth stone you have is on a twenty four hour long cool down."

The hole opens in the floor again and you jump down into the same room with the same chair with the same name plate, this time though you step into the shadow and the lights come on and all of the other workers have there eyes on you almost pleading to be let free but you look at the cameras on the wall and keep moving.

You move through what seems like endless rows of convayer belt of parts as the workers fumble putting the pieces to gather you finally reach a small side room, when you go in you hear the voice again.

"Well done, you may think this is the first test chamber but this is merely a warm up to make sure only those worthy may proceed to the first chamber. Opening first chamber in 3...2...1"

You hear a loud grinding noise, the room starts to shake and the lights in the room flicker and you start to question your own sanity. Suddenly the room stops shaking with a loud thud and you hit the floor. You stand up and slowly open the door wishing you still had your weapons and look out into the new room, the rows of workers gone and now you are facing a empty room minus a suit of armor with lights on it and bullet holes in the walls and some blood. When you put it on you hear a small voice say, "Welcome to the HIP mark 1 protective armor"

You put on the helmet for the armor and at first you can't see any thing but seconds after putting it on you are able to see out side of it and you see small numbers in the corner of the screen, one says "vitals" and has 100 over it the other says "Power" and has 50 over it. You hear the first voice again but now it sounds much closer then befor.

"Your specimen has been processed."

You hear a small grinding sound behind you and as you look over your shoulder you see three small robots be placed on the ground, "Hello? Are you still there? There you are." and the sides of the robots open up and they start shooting at you. As you are being shot you in desperation look around for something to hide behind and you see two small lenses both about half the size of your palm.

You looks down at your vitals and you see the numbers droping "100...80... 50" and your suit power "50... 55... 40" starting to panic you see a small wall with 2 lenses held in the wall. You run over as fast as you can and duck behind the wall and look at the two lenses one is red the other blue and you look at your hands, the gloves have a slot on them the left red the right blue. You put the lenses in and hold you right hand at a wall hoping for some sort of beam, instead it shoots out out a oval shape on the wall and you look at the other wall frustrated and shoot the left hand opening a blue oval shape but this time you can see your self in the opening as well as every thing behind you and you hear the voice again.

"The device has been modified, and we are now ready to begin the test proper."

You also hear the turrets "Are you still there?" as you poke your left arm over the wall and shoot at the far side of the room reopening the blue portal there you step through the yellow portal and see the that turrets cant turn around and you touch one and see your suit power go from 40 to 100 instantly and the turret begins to smoke and spark. relizing how you can kill them you touch all of them and move to the hole in the wall that has just opened, when you get in you see a device on the wall when you touch it you feel warmth course through your body and and you see your vital count go from 50 to 100. You hear the voice again.

"Well done, Test Chamber 1 complete with minimum amounts of damage taken, at the end of each test you will be given a full heal as well as half of your suits power if you are below fifty. You will now be teleported back to your stasis chamber until the next test is ready."

the room fills with green and you find your self back in your jump suit and in the glass room.

((btw just thought I would say this now, this has nothing to do with any ones rp story arcs, even my own <unless I decied to implement it or some one else wants to implement it into theres> this is simply for fun.))

You wake up in the glass room and you hear the voice again.

"Welcome back Test Subject, you seem as though you will be competent enough to complete your tests. Also as a required part of Crunck Co. engineering I am to inform you that all Magic has been nullified and strength normalized wile you are in the stasis room and in test chambers. I am also now required to tell you my name, I am GLaDOS Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System. Now please enter the next test room."

The HIP Mark 1 comes up from the floor and as you put it on a hole opens on the floor next to you and you jump in.

As you fall you hear GLaDOS "Your subject has been processed and test chamber 2 is now ready for you. Please keep in mind that any perception of danger is simply to get you to preform better."

You land in the room with a loud thud but you are unharmed. You look around, you see a large pit to your left and a seiraese of elevated plat forms in front of you. You shoot a blue portal down the pit and a red portal on the plat form just off the ledge and jump down the pit.

You are rocketed up as you pass through the portal and start trying to make your way to the next plat form but miss and start to fall into the abyss below you.

You wake up back in the glass room.
"You have failed test chamber 2, Your suits fail safe has triggered you hearth stone, you have one more try on this chamber before you are euthinised."

The next day started the same as the last, same chamber and every thing. After getting through the puzzle and expecting the way out you see another room

"Vary good test subject, you are now in the last part of the chamber, if you succeed here you will be told of your reward for compleating all tests other than <bzzzzzt>. Also as a required part of the Enrichment Center we will not be monatering this part of the chamber."

You look around and see red lasers moving around and you think to your self "were in the world would stuff like this exist?" the only place you can think of is Gnomeregan. You take a step into the room and hear your foot step echo through out the chamber, the lasers stop and and you hear a small voice "Hello? Is any one there? Who's there?"

You look at the lasers and stop to get a better look at the room, as you look you see that each of the what looks like four turrets are in slots in the wall and cant see you from the entrance to the room. You think how to deal with the turrets and come up with the idea of friendly fire.

You run out in front of the first turret. "There you are..." the turret starts to open fire as you open a portal behind the turret and dived out of the way in time to avoid serious damage. You then open a portal in front of the 2nd turret and jump back to the 1st turret and jump back up when they start shooting. Continuing this you make your way to the end of the test chamber, walking into the room you hear GLaDOS. "Well done, we are most pleased with your performance thus far. Please wait wile we prep the next test chamber for you."

As you look around the room you see a vent with a rusted over cover. You break the cover and climb in hearing GLaDOS again but this time sounding farther away rather then right next to you. "What are you doing?! This is not part of the test protocol please return to the prep room and wait for the next chamber." she sound more and more faint as you continue into the shaft.

You come out the other side of the vent into a dark circular room with a Mechano strider in the middle, as you approch it it says "Well you've found me, congradulations, was it worth it? The only thing you've managed to break so far... is my heart. This isnt brave... it's murder, what did I ever do to you? You don't even care, DO YOU?! Please proceed into, ANDROID HELL!" the floor opens up beneath you. When you hit the ground you see a skeleton with two small dagger and pick them up and charge forward.

You come into a big room full of mecha murlocs that immediatly turn and start to fight you. As you fight through them yo keep an eye on your suits power slowly counting down from 100. As you kill then you see a big number on the top of a huge door counting down "50... 49...48" every time one dies.

As the last one hits the ground and you sit down to catch your breath the door were the counter was opens up with a swish.

You walk into the room and see the mechanostrider GLaDOS sitting there staring at you. "Well it seems that you are able to beat even the most powerful androids prototypes we can send at you, we are most pleased by this. But unfortunately we can not alow you to leave here." the door closses behind you.

you look around and see green gas coming out of vents in the room, you look at your vitals and hear "Biohazzard detected, please leave the area immediatly." You look back at GLaDOS and see 3 orbs attached to her and a incinduary pit in the back of the room, as you examine them you hear a loud bang followed quickly by a roar, you look to the noise and see a rocket flying at you. You roll out of the way just in time to not be hit and open a portal above GLaDOS and behind you, side stepping the next missile and watch it hit GLaDOS "AHHH!" one of the orbs falls off and you pick it up and see that its a giant mechanical eye "Who are you? What is that? What is -that-? What is -THAT-?! Oh your the person from the test, hi!" you almost hesitate but remember the missiles and the poission gas, you throw it into the pis and hear a loud shriek from it. You repeat this for the next two orbs. As the last on falls in GLaDOS's words become garbled and uninteligable. A giant portal opens up in the top of the room and starts to pull you GLaDOS and every thing else in the room into it. The last thing you manage to hear from GLaDOS is "Thank you for participating in this enritchment center activity. Good bye."

You wake up your suit gone, back in your old cloths some were out side Gnomergan in Dun Morogh, you just bearly can see the head of GLaDOS and you think you hear "Are you still there?" from it.
