Pillar three: if you suspect a coworker of bein' a witch, report them immediately. Pillar one: Science without results is just witchcraft. MEMORANDUMS: Filed under CJohnson: 188454-GĨ8^5211762 json remind you that Apeture Science is built on three pillars. Most were born before the advent of science, and can become confused and disoriented when asked to participate in relatively simple tests (teleportation, invisibility, adjusting esteem levels of orphan children). Frankly, it's off-putting, and small wonder why Apeture-brand mental institutions are being phased out in favor of more orphanages.įrail, brittle hands make holding science devices difficult. Past experiences shows these fellows are simply not shy at all about carrying on, disrupting tests and defecating just about anywhere that pleases them. Recent advances in the use of scorn, flattery used in an ironic context and naked contempt of motivational tools have yielded similarly profitable results. (Note: The wandering heart of the hobo should not be confused with Drifing Heart Syndrome, which several transients contracted during testing.)ĭeep-rooted abandonment issues leave most orphans highly susceptible to shame-based psychology (for a complete list of opportune moments to obliterate the esteem of test subjects, please consulting Training Video #89-D, "You'd Perform This Test Better if You Had Parents"). The hobo questions nothing, will follow orders if fed, and, like all hoboes, has a restless, wandering heart. Lives spent wandering aimlessly, cowering before authority, and drinking concussive amounts of home-distilled potato alcohol make hoboes the perfect Human Enrichment test subjects. Re: Human Enrichment & Testing Initiative, Resource Acquisitionsġ. The BBS also turned up several Apeture Science documents including memos 'from' company founder Cave Johnson as well as more to ponder over. You might have to tilt your head for a 'proper' view of some of the pictures. Sleuths have found numerous ASCII art images on BBS clearly connected to Apeture Science and Portal, as well as several mysterious items and diagrams. The telephone number connects to a bulletin board system-a pre-Internet dial-up system used for everything from chat to games-masquerading as a GLaDOS system.

Update 5: Internet sleuths uncovered in the images an encrypted number which turned out to be a phone number from Kirkland, Washington-the city where Valve was founded.

Sounds like GLaDOS, who is very much "Still Alive", rebooting. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog Additionally, check these two videos of the near 18-minutes of sounds: Part 1 - Part 2 Update 4: One potential translation is:

Update 3: In-game video of some of the Morse code and the above "Dinosaur_Fizzle" noise. The first file has been translated to read: "interior transmission active external data line active message digest active". Update 2: Steam users have found 26 new sound files containing around 17 minutes of Morse code.

Update: The following is reportedly a sound made by an in-game radio when thrown into a force field: "Dinosaur_Fizzle" noise Warning: Loud!.

I've reached out to Valve Software for comment and I'll keep you updated of any new information. All of these images clearly show the Aperture Science logo from the game. Steam users have begun finding images hidden in the updated game files. At the very least, I'd recommend getting this achievement. We're still unsure what is actually going on here, but mysterious things appear to be afoot.

"Changed radio transmission frequency to comply with federal and state spectrum management regulations"Īlong with this cryptic change, is a new achievement, titled "Transmission Received", which Shacker ghost in my shell reported unlocking after he "put the radio on the red button on the first stage." At this point it "started spitting out Morse code." Today, Valve Software published an update to Portal through Steam.
