Identity Crisis Part 2 (First Half)

After searching the offices of what appears to be Aperture Laboratories, you come across an amazing and powerful weapon. It appears that you are able to bend time and space by shooting these "portals" if you will. Intrigued, you find a few test chambers which are meant for learning this new, powerful device. Everything was going smoothly until the very last test chamber where the catwalk seemed to give out from underneath you, leading to your plunge into the deep, dark, depths of Aperture Laboratories.

Still falling, the second map begins with the sure thought of the end in sight. But wait, the fall...it...didn't hurt you. Not even a little bit! You thought for sure your legs would be shattered. Amazed and slightly confused, you realize that you have fallen into an assembly/destruction room, where surely more obstacles would lie ahead. Trying to get up to the catwalk, the new portal gun seems like your best shot, but it's not creating portals! Thinking quickly, you jump down from one conveyor belt to another, and then on to some air conditioning vents, which lead to a failed support for the offices above. Looking a few moves ahead, you realize that you can easily escape th room by jumping on some boxes on the other side of the room, and then up onto the damaged catwalk.

Once on the catwalk, curiosity once again gets the better of you as levers seem to be drawing you ever closer to them. "Maybe I'll just throw one lever and see what it does, and then I'l be on my way". As the lever is pushed down, a noise from an adjacent room catches your ear. Running quickly now with the fear of getting caught in your mind and the excitement of exploring in your heart, you trip and fall into a server room. Quickly figuring out that the lever activated the HVAC system for the lower laboratories, you begin to grab and scratch at anything you can get your hands on to stop the ventilation system from sucking you up the tube. Using every single ounce of energy in your body, your grip finally fails, sending you twirling and tumbling up the vents and into a test chamber.

Sitting in the middle of the new test chamber trying to catch your breath, the hair stands up on the back of your neck, as you feel there is someone watching you. Turning around quickly to find nothing but 4 walls and a few cubes and spheres sitting by your side, another thought quickly passes through your mind. "Am I still exploring these test chambers, or are these test chambers exploring me?"
