Chell's eyes snapped open. Something was wrong. Where was she? The room had the appearance of a hotel room, but she knew it was all wrong.

She froze as a voice came on over the intercom. It gave her certain instructions, which she followed. Then, finally, it instructed her to lie down. There was something she needed to remember.What was it? She had to remember. What was it?!

Everything went black.

Suddenly, she was awake again. The lights were out. The power seemed like it had been cut. Maybe it had simply gone out.

The intercom crackled to life again. "You have been in stasis for 999999..." The voice continued. Most likely, it's timer had maxed out. Chell scratched her head. How long had she been here? There were memories, but she couldn't grasp them. Not quite.

A knock sounded at the door. Chell opened it to see an orb-like bumbling robot with a British accent. He wanted her help.

If she could get out of this place, she would do anything she could.
