“The people you find?” she said in alarm, and looked around. “You’re not going to find me…and test me?” Elwyn said, growling. She didn’t like the sound of tests. Her hand twitched, as if it…
“Ah yes,” he chuckled a little self-consciously. “I’ve had a short in my system—like a nervous tic, I think—that I’ve had ever since I was almost crushed a long time ago. I’ve never really had the time or opportunity to go out and fix it. It’s gotten a lot better than it used to be…”
Elwyn nodded. “I see…” she murmured. “That’s rather interesting…I’ve never encountered someone like you before. You look human…and yet you’re a machine. Fascinating.” she smiled softly, and studied his face curiously. New things fascinated her. She had always been a curious person.
“I’m a bit of a prototype, but thank you.” Wheatley grinned, proud that his appearance was seen as fascinating. “I’m testing out the technology. It’s rather interesting; I’m only a few upgrades from feeling anything just like a human would. Learning processes, you know. It’s hard to wire anything like a living, breathing, human. Hard, but not impossible.”

“The people you find?” she said in alarm, and looked around. “You’re not going to find me…and test me?” Elwyn said, growling. She didn’t like the sound of tests. Her hand twitched, as if it wanted to throw something.
Here, the android offered a weak smile. “Well, technically, I’m supposed to report that I’ve found a humanoid here, but…” He winked, the action uncharacteristically sly. “No one will be the wiser if oblivious little Wheatley says he hasn’t seen a thing, eh?”
Her hand stopped twitching, and she sighed in relief. “Thanks…” she smiled. Elwyn wasn’t a big fan of being trapped someplace. She liked to come and go as she pleased.
“No problem, mate.” Returning the smile, Wheatley felt some wires short-circuit, causing a small twitch of his neck and face. He’d have to get that tic fixed, he mused with a sigh. “It’s not often I get anybody to talk to around here.”

“Well, where is home?” He asked, not wanting her to be uncomfortable. If she wanted to leave, he would make sure she didn’t get hurt on the way out. “And humans and machines aren’t that different here, I promise. We’re just made up of different things.”
Slenda gave a small smile. “My home’s by this really pretty lake. It’s really quiet there, but I like it quiet. It doesn’t hurt my ears.”
“Lake? What’s…a lake?” He asked, wondering what made it pretty. He’d never been outside for fear of the consequences. Quiet, he thought. That would be nice.
Slenda tilted her head. “You don’t know what a lake is? Well… a lake is like a giant puddle of water! it’s fun to swim in!”
“I’ve never been outside.” He pointed out, smiling at her excitement over the matter. “I’m not sure water’s very good for me, but I’m sure it’s a lot of fun.”
Slenda pouted before smiling. “Maybe when I get home, I can take you with me! Then you can meet all my friends! I’m sure they’ll all love you!”
He smiled, not wanting to mention that he would probably be killed if they got caught trying to leave together. It was better just to dream. “I’m sure that would be loads of fun, luv. Maybe we could.”

Elwyn noticed his emotion and sighed. “…Sorry. Didn’t know.” she said after a few moments. “I’m a bit touchy with murder. But if she’s running the facility…what exactly…happens…” she muttered, swearing she could hear noises. She didn’t like this place at all.
He shook his head, taking a deep breath he didn’t need. “No, I’m sorry, mate. I guess now that I know what happened, I’m…a little angry at the humans. I mean, it’s unheard of to create a personality from absolutely nothing…nevermind.” That was a thought process for another time. “But what do you mean, ‘what happens’? What does this place do? Or what does She do?”
“Yes, what does she do?” she asked, noting his tone when he said “she”. “I mean…there has to be a purpose of this building.” she mused.
“We build. We create more things and test them with the people we find. Mostly now we’re working on the Portal Device. That’s all she can do, I think, is test new creations. And, I suppose, come up with new ones, and regulate the robots built to test, or to create, or do keep this place running.” He wasn’t sure what the regulations were. He was on the bottom of the food chain, so to speak, meaning he was often out of the loop.
“The people you find?” she said in alarm, and looked around. “You’re not going to find me…and test me?” Elwyn said, growling. She didn’t like the sound of tests. Her hand twitched, as if it wanted to throw something.
