Corrupted cores.

...There is one of them here, he was activated when Stacy temporarily released crew members from the pods. If we can find it, maybe others are with it.

[notamoron]

Oh, are we talking about that time you killed GLaDOS? Or that other time we tried to kill her together? Or you're not talking about that time you tried to kill me, are you? Because I'd just as soon not remember that one, nasty business there, but all in the past.

[thewunderkind]

WAIT WAIT IS HE A CORE.

....Where did the other cores go....

[fattynoparents]

DO NOT PLUG HIM INTO THE MAINFRAME.

Wheatley. Where did you reactivate when we first arrived?

[notamoron]

That I am. But I'm not a corrupted core, you silly girl! I mean, I AM a personality core designed to be connected to GLaDOS to modify her behaviour, but I'm not corrupted, I'm fit as a fiddle! Sound as a pound! Sturdy as a brick--I forget how that one is supposed to end.

When I first reactivated, I was somewhere in the hanger, I think.

[fattynoparents]

I know you are not corrupted. We need to find the others and we'll start in the hangar, if that's where you were.

[notamoron]

Well, I was alone when I activated, so I don't know if you'll find any of the others there. I don't think they like me very much.

[fattynoparents]

I'll look. You find Lash. She has a very important job for you.

I need you to promise me that you will control yourself.

[notamoron]

Yes ma'am! Self control is my middle name!

Wheatley Self-Control Pendleton.

[fattynoparents]

What.

[notamoron]

Can't talk now, gotta go find Lash!

[fattynoparents]

Be careful.

[PENDLETON...]

[thewunderkind]

NO THAT'S A GREAT IDEA. LIKE, PUT HIM IN THE CORE...sOMEHOW...DUNNO WHERE...AND UH...MAKE HIM READ ONLY SO HE CAN SEND INFO TO SHODAN BUT SHE CAN'T SEND HIM ANYTHING SO HE CAN'T GET CORRUPTED / ACCESS THE DATABASE. JUST SENT A LOT OF INFO LIKE A DDOS ATTACK.

...WOULD THAT EVEN WORK HERE.

[fattynoparents]

You need to be very, very careful if that is what you want to do.

[thewunderkind]

Uh I dunno if you noticed but we have ROBOTS EVERYWHERE so we'll be as careful as we cna be without like...DYING.

[fattynoparents]

I don't think you understand. If he gains any control of the mainframe, it is very likely he will become a large part of the problem.

[thewunderkind]

WE PLACE A GUN ON HIM IF HE DOES ANYTHING. NEXT PROBLEM.

[fattynoparents]

I'll give you my manual override.

[thewunderkind]

....oh yeah right. I made that for you.

[notamoron]

Hang on a tick.

This isn't going to hurt, is it?

[thewunderkind]

NO IDEA.

DO IT FOR THE SHIP.

[notamoron]

...What if I just waited over here to see how everything turns out, and just hope really hard nobody dies?

[thewunderkind]

No.

[notamoron]

Ah.

Well, I suppose I could be a team player, you know, as long as there's not like PAIN involved or anything.
