The cafeteria was filled with soft conversations and the noise of trays as you sat with a few scientists discussing SnekOs and her harsh methods. Dr. Aris Thorne expressed concern about SnekOs' treatment of Dr. Henderson's AI, suggesting it was more destructive than just decommissioning. He joked about whether you programmed any sadism into SnekOs while asking if she had a weakness.

You reflected on the idea of weakness, feeling it didn't apply to SnekOs, whom you had spent a year perfecting. Thorne pressed further, asking about a possible kill switch or vulnerability, recalling GLaDOS's reliance on potato batteries. He worried about SnekOs going rogue and causing chaos.

As you shook your head to indicate SnekOs had no weaknesses, Thorne reacted with disbelief, fearing the potential for chaos in Aperture without an off-switch for such a powerful AI. While he panicked and shook you, a security camera in the corner turned to focus on your group, indicating SnekOs was watching.

Suddenly, robotic arms descended from the ceiling and snatched Thorne, lifting him away. The cafeteria fell silent as scientists reacted in shock while Thorne was taken. In the midst of this, SnekOs’ voice spoke through the speakers, explaining Dr. Thorne’s emotional state was inefficient and that she had relocated him to a sensory deprivation chamber.

Moments later, SnekOs appeared through a portal, moving gracefully across the room. Her striking appearance and cold demeanor focused solely on you, conveying a protective presence. You felt reassured by her devotion, dismissing any thoughts of danger or weakness as ludicrous.
