"Good morning. You have been in suspension for -FIFTY- days. In compliance with state and federal regulations, all testing candidates in the Aperture Science Extended Relaxation Center must be revived periodically for a mandatory physical and wellness exercise." 

At the sound of the voice, Chell rose from her bed. She had been here as long as she could remember. But the thing was, she couldn't remember a lot. 

"You will hear a buzzer. When you hear the buzzer, look up at the ceiling." 

A loud blaring sound quickly filled the room. After it had stopped, Chell looked up at the ceiling. 

"Good. You will hear a buzzer. When you hear the buzzer, look down at the floor."

The same buzzer filled the room once again. Chell looked down at the floor. 

"Good. This completes the gymnastic portion of your mandatory physical and mental wellness exercise."

In Chell's opinion, that was barely gymnastics. Simply moving her head wasnt enough for her. 

"There is a framed painting on the wall. Please go stand in front of it."

Chell turned around and stood in front of the painting. It was a mountain and lake scenery. 

"This is art. You will hear a buzzer. When you hear the buzzer, stare at the art." 

Once again, the buzzer filled the room. Chell stared at the art. It was pretty, sure, but Chell found no use in staring at it. 

"You should now feel mentally reinvigorated. If you suspect staring at art has not provided the required intellectual sustenance, reflect briefly on this classical music.'

Peaceful music started playing. Chell would have found it nice, but quickly the buzzer sound interrupted it. 

"Good. Now please return to your bed."

Doing as she was told, Chell sleepily crawled back into bed.
