GLaDOS knelt by Chell and Wheatley’s cage, quietly petting the white rabbit as she munched on a leaf of lettuce. She approved of her crew’s decision to bring the rabbits aboard, it was good to have companion animals for the sake of helping people to feel more relaxed and de-stressed, and rabbits were easy to care for. Plus, she had a long and storied history with these rabbits in particular, having rescued them from a lab in the bowels of the Viking. They were getting a little older, but they were still spritely enough.She glanced at the door as it slid open and a young human male stepped in. “Ensign Jonah,” she acknowledged.
“Lt. Cmdr. I’m here for the meeting?” NE Jonah replied.
“That’s not for another ten minutes, so technically you are early.”
“Well I’m not on duty so I figured I’d just show up early.”
“Understood.”
The two stopped their conversation and sat in silence until the next arrival. GLaDOS had sent a message to her entire science crew, including a few of the Novel Researchers. This meeting was like the first day of class. She wanted her people to feel comfortable around one another, to be able to be friends and colleagues instead of just people who happened to work in the same department.
Her other reason was that there were a few members of the science team she hadn’t personally met yet and she wanted to get a bead on them.
GLaDOS, CSO
Echo walked in, a PaDD tucked under one arm, still uneasy about all the quiet. “Commander GLaDOS?” He asked, as he walked in. He’d read up on the crew during his journey here, and didn’t want to make a complete fool of himself.

The CSO stood up and looked at Echo with an odd expression, reading his posture and expression. GLaDOS scanned Echo with her bionic eye, then turned away to step over to the table that NE Jonah was already sitting at. “Ensign Echo. No surname. No history. You seem uneasy about something.” She was quiet for a moment, listening to the quiet creaks and mechanical sounds of the ship. She wasn’t nearly as creaky as Viking, and GLaDOS found the quiet to be comforting. “My aim in today’s meeting is to help my crew become more comfortable with one another and their place on the ship, so please… tell me what is wrong.”
If the general silence of the ship made Echo uneasy, GLaDOS was sure to give him some kind of a fright. Over six feet tall, face peppered with metallic patches with glowing green bits and obvious Borg components, along with a slightly glowing orange eye and a Borg arm, she was a sight to behold.
GLaDOS, CSO
Echo took a reflex step back upon taking in her appearance, remembering the studies of the Borg he did at the academy. He quickly recovered, however. “It’s just being…here. Now. I can’t really explain what it’s like, to be honest with you, to be somewhere, and not remembering why. Or who you really are. It’s not something I can exactly explain.” He said quietly, remembering when he woke up back on the Geneva.
