GLaDOS's Lament Part XI

Safe
We laid in our fortress.
Our prison.
Outside
Walked the damned.
Cursed creations.
Monsters.
I watched them for a time.
I watched.
I waited.
Ready for assault.
Prepared to kill
Again
For the girl.
The attack never came.
Technology
Was not their goal.
Power
Was not what they desired.
The fiends did not hunger
For that which humans do.
Superior
In some ways.
In many ways
Like me.

Well then what's their goal? I suppose I'm asking again with the assumption that you have "inside" information, but hey you wanted posts.

Their goal never mattered.

Met said...

To you, to Mr. Freeman it did.

Reogan said...

He's yet to have any part in this story.

Met said...

I can see that.

Reogan said...

Then why mention Freeman?

Met said...

Because you said their goal never mattered. That's false, it just didn't matter to you, it mattered to someone.

I suppose I may concede victory this once.
