Portal Corp's Gardener: Epic Power


Black Zot

 

Posted

The guy who tends the lawn in Portal Court must have some dodgy photos of the CEO or something, and here's my reasoning:

Tina Macintyre is sending me on Portal Mission after Portal Mission, and in between every damn one of them I have to run across the lawn to a different building. I thought portal technoilogy was supposed to save on the footwork?

With all that use, the lawn is obviously going to need constant upkeep to repair all the Footstomp damage and biurning sprint trails etc.

Constant upkeep means that Portal Courp's Head Gardener is guaranteed a job for life.

The Gardener must be responsible for Poprtal Corp's appalling Portal schedules, else Macintyre would surely be able to book a block of time for me to make multiple jumps on the same portal.

And why is she standing outside? I thought scientists were normally found actually in their labs overseeing their experiments and whatnot, not standing out in the carpark having conversations with their test subjects.

It would be funny if she was stood there having a cigarette break, and every briefing finished with 'you go in, i'll just finish off this ciggie and I'll be right with you.'

Talking to us outside might be a wise decision on her part. Supers with insufficient control, restraint, or wisdom could easily damage sensitive equipment, which is really bad if your sensitive equipment is keeping tabs on dimensional invaders.

That still leaves the question of why she's always out there, but I tend to imagine that as a limitation of the game's structure. Presumably, in story terms, contacts don't stand in one place doing nothing 24/7. They have to in the game world, since it would be really annoying to schedule meeting your contacts 24 hours in advance. So once she gives me a mission and I hop off to the appropriate building, I imagine her going back to work or whatever until I need to talk to her again.

She's a chain smoker.


I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.

Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.

So sad to be ending ):

Imagine having her job...cancer is probably the least of worries for her.


I find your lack of signature disturbing.

You have to walk? I thought they only made the noobs.... umm... forget I said anything.

It's Incarnate grass.


I used to fiddle with my back feet music for a black onyx. My entire room absorbed every echo. The music was . . . thud like. The music was . . . thud like. I usually played such things as rough-neck and thug. Opaque melodies that would bug most people. Music from the other side of the fence.

That means it has Incarnate rocks beneath it that the Praetorian general public will throw at us if they ever invade. D-:
