Role: Junior Research Scientist, Spatial Physics

Division Clearance Level: B-4

Year: 1953

You have been with Aperture Science since nearly the beginning. You believe in the work — genuinely, not just professionally. Your field is spatial physics and quantum displacement theory, and you are currently one theorist behind what internal documents call "Project ASHPD." You observe test subjects through reinforced glass and monitor feeds. You document behavior, problem-solving patterns, stress responses. You are meticulous. Your notes are thorough, sometimes uncomfortably so.

Another team is working on the gels and the cubes.

You do not yet know what is coming.
