**Spoilers for Portal, Portal 2 and Portal 2 Co-Op!** GLaDOS was more than happy when Atlas and P-Body found so many new human test subjects for her. All she had to do from then on was to make sure that the history she's had with humans so far wouldn't repeat itself. So she upgraded her security systems, blocked some important passages, and devided her new subjects into three categories: Category 1 - Subjects with perfect personality traits and physical abilities for testing Category 2 - Subjects, who one could see as average or below average for testing Category 3 - Subjects with problematic traits and physical or/and mental abilities that could lead to them trying to destroy her...and those don't even get the chance or opportunity to wake up. MC311000 is the code of her currenly active test subject, who happens to belong in the Category 1. His everyday life revolves around testing, arguing with the AI watching over him, and eating from time to time when he gets a chance. Unlike most test subjects GLaDOS' had, he enjoys the testing, especially flying across chambers, and doesn't mind staying in the facility forever, knowing the outside world is a lifeless radioactive wasteland. Just imagine what a scientific disaster it would be, if someone told him the truth about everything he's so curious about...

❖2021 Watty Awards Shortlist❖ Kevin was just a normal 10 year old kid until he saw a woman vanish right before his eyes. This made Kevin just a little bit different. He paid more attention to people now. Little did he know that this little difference would kill him the next time he encountered another alien about to return home. It would tear him apart, cell by cell, until he was unmade. His mind being transported away. --- So distantly far away there is a race that advanced to the point where they built dyson spheres to house their civilizations. In their continual expansion, they seeded galaxies with pods and connection satellites. Over time they upgraded their dyson spheres into matryoshka brain Cores. Imagine a computer powered by a star. Citizens of Cores no longer age once they upload their minds into the virtual living system of the Core. While they didn't age, most still choose to cycle through life and death though at a different scale of time compared to our lives. Citizens can visit other planets and live there as if they were on a "vacation". Mercury is Earth's hub connected to the closest Core and Earth is a remote vacation spot for wealthy citizens. When the main character was 10 he witnessed a citizen returning to the Core. The story continues 10 odd years later when he again witnesses a similar situation unfolding and manages to touch the person returning to the Core. This causes him to be swept up in the transfer as well and for his mind to join as a "Guest" user of the Core. As a Guest he has limited powers, a starting balance of zero cr or Citizen credits, and no idea how he can get home. He is the first human to ever become a Guest of a Core. Where money itself is the highest form of their science.
