Elsewhere, the Greeed look around the new area.

"...well, that was disappointing." Kazari shrugs, stretching a bit. "And here I thought we would get to have some fun."

"Quiet." Uva starts to look around, scanning every part of the facility.

"What are you so worried about? We're completely fine." Kazari remarks.

"We need to get out of here." Uva looks at Kazari. "These people...a good majority of them aren't human. They're unpredictable. And even the humans have something...off about them. In short, we don't know how anyone will behave. If we're going to fulfill any of our desires, we have to get out of this place and find normal humans that we know we can use."

Kazari mulls over this for a moment. "Well...actually, wouldn't Mezool - and I guess Gamel by extension - be the only one who would want to get out? Her desire is really the only one that requires us to interact with humans..."

The other three Greeed glare at him.

"Just saying." Kazari shrugs. "But if you want to get out of here, I think I know a way."

Uva doesn't respond, but is clearly listening.

"Look around. Everything is clean, white panels, arranged perfectly in perfect little formations..." Kazari gestures to the surrounding area. "This place positively reeks of the desire for control and order. So, if we want to get out, all we have to do is disrupt the order, and whoever's in charge will come running to try and stop us. That's when we can grab them and force them to tell us how to get out."

"...it's something." Uva nods, acknowledging his head. "We'll likely have better results if we go past these walls to disrupt things behind the scenes. Gamel. If you would, please?"

Gamel nods, and walks up to the panels. He touches two of them, and they immediately turn into Cell Medals, allowing a pathway inside the inner mechanisms of Aperture to be revealed.

The Greeed walk inside, with Uva being last in line. Before he goes to follow the other Greeed, though, he turns around, pulls the panels lining the gap towards each other to fill in said gap, and welds them together with some high voltage electricity before leaving.

He's not risking being followed.

And while all this is happening, deep within the heart of Aperture, an enormous machine hanging from the ceiling keeps the facility running. A single glowing yellow "eye" stares at the walls of the chamber it lies in - or so it seems. In reality, she's watching tthings through the cameras. To be more precise, she's watching some co-op tests and previous footage of co-op tests so that way she can belittle the two robots she's running through the tests. It's kind of her thing.

When something noteworthy happens and she prepares to say something, however, she's interrupted by a slightly late alarm.

"INTRUDER ALERT! INTRUDER ALERT!"

"'Intruder alert?' Well, I suppose I should check if it's anything serious." The machine starts looking through cameras. "Chances are that one of the maintenance droids left the door open and a squirrel or - god forbid - a bird found it's...way..."

She trails off when she actually sees the footage.

Various humanoid monsters running amuck in the depths of Aperture, wrecking everything they can. Dragons and giant birds laying around in the facility. Some kind of alien approaching her chambers carrying a flower with a face. A human yelling at a skeleton. And other such things.

"...what the hell am I looking at?" GLaDOS asks herself. None of this makes any sense. There's no way the larger creatures would've gotten down here from above. Some of these creatures aren't even supposed to exist. And how is there a creature made of ink running around?

...well, as much as she wants to find answers - through some testing, of course - she has other priorities. At the very least, most of these are contained within her facility.

The monsters who are in the inner workings of Aperture, however...they are not.

They're a problem.

Time for a talk...and then perhaps a friendly serving of lead.

Meanwhile, the possessed Ryotaro is heading for the overgrown area. He actually has no idea where he's going, of course, but he's going to do something.
