Orientation Video no. 1 - A Safe and Healthy Environment

| Welcome to the Aperture Science Enrichment Center. Let's look at some of the challenges you'll face as a test participant. |
| You may be required to perform simple tasks, such as locating an exit. These simple tasks may be supplemented with insurmountable obstacles. |
| Thanks to the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device, the impossible is easy. |
| Let's look at a real-world example. |
| Certain objects may be vital to your success. If at first you don't succeed, you fail, and the test will be terminated. When stuck, remember our motto: "There's a hole in the sky, through which things can fly". |
| At the Enrichment Center, we believe that a highly motivated test subject can carry out rather complex tasks while enduring the most intense pain. So in case you don't make it through the testing, goodbye. |
| This next test is impossible. ("05 part1 entry-1" ends with the same sentence, with variations in the intonation.) |
| Now you're thinking with portals. |
Portal is Free
Quote |
| For over three years, the Aperture Science Portal Project has been the cornerstone of our aggressive recruitment program. |
| Thanks to Portal, we can weed out Test Subjects, who, when confronted with science, may exhibit any or all of the following personality flaws: |
| Cowardice, impaired motor skills, poor judgment, fear of heights, weights, depths, bullets, and fire. |
| Now, our marketing engineers have discovered a way to offer consumers a home version of the Portal Project for free! |
| Use your free Portal kit to measure the value of those around you, and find a companion for the upcoming Cooperative Portal Testing Initiative. |
| Good luck. |

| These next tests require co-operation. Consequently, they have never been solved by a human. That's where you come in. You don't know pride, you don't know fear, you don't know anything. You'll be perfect. |
| Test Chamber completed. Continue testing. |
| Continue testing. |
| Continue testing. |
| The two of you have formed an excellent partnership. Now it's time for your real purpose. |
| Don't disappoint me. Or I'll make you wish you could die. |
