Somehow Alex isn’t surprised she doesn’t have a last name. But she does give him a name and before she even finishes speaking, he’s already looking up Aperture Science. It’s an older company, founded in the 1940s (Johnson, Cave). History of scientific breakthroughs that made them…attractive to OCP. Anything involving AI, though, was strangely registered classified, even to him. News reports. Mostly tabloid. But sometimes tabloids could hit the truth every now and then, and they were talking about test subjects, people vanishing. High-tech robots, before modern drones really stepped into their own. Aperture Science might’ve been a threat once to OmniCorp if they hadn’t imploded on themselves.
Filing that away, Alex focused on the immediate problem at hand: this woman and her paranoia about his intentions.
“Believe me, it's not a test,” Alex says, the slightest frown creasing his face. He continued to add to her new file as he talked. “Who’s 'she'?”
Does she believe she’s under duress? If someone’s following her, then it’d be safer to take Chell into custody than letting her take chances out here.
