Summary
In 1975, Big Boss fell into a slumber. Though the rest of the world went on just fine without the legendary soldier, Ocelot's life came to a complete standstill as he took up his new role as a full-time caretaker.
And after too many sleepless nights at the hospital, Ocelot's sense of reality seemed to be slowly unraveling around the edges—lately he'd been having some very strange dreams.
(A work in progress.)

Summary
“You probably do not think this is cruel,” GLaDOS says suddenly, not taking her gaze from the mouse for a second, “After all, you have such enormous capacity for cruelty, I doubt you can recognise mistreatment even when it is right before your eyes. However, a normal human with basic abilities of empathy, love, and compassion, would correctly identify my treatment of this animal as cruel.”
Chell says nothing.
“However, if this experiment were to be submitted to an ethics committee, it would receive full approval. Cruelty, in and of itself, is not wholly banned in science, after all. It is simply needless cruelty, the kind you excel in, that is not permitted. What I am doing is necessary for testing conditions. What I do is the only way for knowledge to progress.”
