[out-of-beta.livejournal.com]

[Regardless of whether or not your communicator is on at the moment, it suddenly blinks to life, the screen brightening and a winking amber text prompt appearing. A digital voice declares in an oddly sing-song series of tones, as the screen types out a transcription:]

^{THE ENRICHMENT CENTER} WOULD LIKE TO REMIND YOU
THAT THE FOLLOWING SIDE EFFECTS MAY OCCUR
DUE TO PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO ^{ENRICHMENT CENTER} TESTING
NAUSEA
CHEST PAIN
LAPSES IN _MORTALITY
PERCEIVING THE SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT AS NO LONGER PART OF ^{THE ENRICHMENT CENTER} TESTING FACILITIES _{OH DEAR}

[The screen fills with long steams of nonsense code as she quickly accesses the forum archives, before everything clears and once again the text prompt appears. When the voice comes on again, it is lower and mocking – if such is possible from a machine.]

DON’T WORRY _HEROES
^{THIS IS SIMPLY} A TEST
SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION WILL RESULT IN ^CAKE
AND EVERYONE ENJOYS CAKE _{YOU’RE ALL GOING TO DIE HERE}



ooc; Even though GLaDOS has taken human form, when she posts, she does so through her consciousness on the network -- thus the digital voice as opposed to a real one. Unless otherwise requested or noted in her permissions post, she is already essentially inside your comm and poking at all your private business.

[dark-passenger.livejournal.com]

I'm not such a big fan of neurotoxin, to be honest.

[out-of-beta.livejournal.com]

[dark-passenger.livejournal.com]

Maybe you're immune.

I myself don't wish to find that out about myself.
