A door opens in front of me, and I see little cubes. All of the cubes but one conform, one has a pink heart on it. I walk closer to inspect the object so I look a little weird with how slow I walk through.

It smells terrible, almost like if you crushed a rat and that's the result. I try to pick it up but it is super heavy, like 200 pounds heavy. "Don't pay any attention to the companion cube if it says anything (which it won't). They are sentient things, but if they were to talk they would lie", G.L.A.D.O.S. warns me.

"Ok", I say reassuring the robot.

A gun falls from a panel in the roof, it has three little claw like spikes in the front. I pick it up and press the claws to the cube. I press a button on the side and pick it up.

Please help. I hear from the cube and then a light hum, As if someone were singing. I drop all of it all together and grab the wall behind me.

A panel opens in front of me. I grab the box and sprint to the opening. There waits a man in a white lab coat, with a few grease stains. He had a little scruff as if he had been hiding for a few days. "Hi, uh, let's get put of here", the man said.

"Ok", I say with no hesitation.

He had a companion cube on his back, as if it were a friend. "I'm an old scientists in this 'testing' facility and they were going to end me. Some call me 'ratman' but you can call me whatever.

"Ok, what's the cube on your back for?"

"The same reason why you just brought that one with you. You heard it talk, you know it can talk and you know that there's someone in there.

"Why else would you bring a smelly, heavy box with you?"
