"Hello, and, again, welcome to the Aperture Science computer-aided enrichment center."
In a time when the events of Portal or Portal 2 never happened, you have woken up from a deep sleep, greeted by GLaDOS, a robotic machine who will guide you thro...
The elevator stopped. The door swooshed open again, and you stepped out. As you stepped down the hall, a bright panel flicked on. It read "01" and there were a bunch of little squares at the bottom, most of them gray. Only a few were highlighted.

(Note: This is the panel described, except the progress bar in the middle should say 01/19, not 01/01. This is just the best I could find. Sorry!)
You walked on, and the floor gave away, revealing a room with three different sections, blocked off by glass. You lept down, and you now realized how those weird things attached on your foot helped you cushion falls. The weird AI voice came on again.
"Please place the Weighted Storage Cube on the Fifteen Hundred Megawatt Aperture Science Heavy Duty Super-Colliding Super Button."
She makes it sound so professional.
You turned around, and saw that there was an orange portal in front of you. You could see the button just sitting there. But you needed a cube. Before you could react, the portal changed, revealing the door to your escape. You saw the room with the cube in it. You reasoned that that would come next. Guess what? It did.
You walked through the portal, picked up the cube, and slowly backed out. The portal shut, and you were now right there, staring at the button. You nonchalantly walked and dropped the cube on the button. You then got out and waited for the portal to change. Before it did, the woman came on again.
"Perfect. Please move quickly to the chamberlock, as the effects of prolonged exposure to the Button are not part of this test."
That felt weird.
How can a button affect me over a prolonged amount of time?
You shrugged it off and went through the portal, right to the chamberlock. The door closed behind you, and you passed through the fizzler. You stepped into the elevator and, as usual, the doors closed behind you. As the elevator went flying down, you heard one last thing from the robot.
