"Cave Johnson here! Now, don't listen to that very convincing man from
Black Mesa. We both know they're a bunch of thieves that wouldn't know
Science if bit them on the ass and waved a flag. They might have all
sorts of neat proposals, but what would they make? A better
Angel-killing crowbar?
"Anyways, we have the first prototypes of the 'Dummy Plug' system here
and I'd have to say that it gives me a little thrill to think just how
well we did in making this. We used a lot of the technology that we
came up with for the 'ole AI core system and gosh damn it, it works very
well. Reliable, accurate, controllable, and does everything you can
want to have dead Angels. Okay, okay, the scientists are noting that
there's some 'unforeseen aggression issues', but we're creating
something that'll take any Angel and chew it up and spit it on out.
Makes me happy to know we got it right.
"Of course, we have to have the pilot there while it starts up, but
that's good-give the kid something to work towards, good example and all
that.
"So, Aperture can start deploying the first set of Plugs to your
operation ASAP, should have the next set delivered to the other
operation in a few months."

"Cave Johnson here, with devices to solve all your needs. Sure, Aperture
Science Self-Propelled Extraterrestrial Vehicular Anthroform, or EVA as
some of the lab boys like to call them, is excellent at killin' things.
And, I assure you, they love it. We've got charts and everything.
But I've gotten a few complaints about their range. Now, we're working
on the extension-cord problem, but for the moment we have the solution!
Behold: The Aperture Science Proton Pallet Rifle! Blam! Pure stopping
power. It's the same tried and true technology that Aperture Science has
been selling to third-world nations for decades, only designed for
giant armored killing machines instead of turret robots. Perfectly safe.
And to answer your next question, yes, we do take checks."

"Cave Johnson here, with some exciting news! We're now coordinating all
of our efforts with Ackbar's Perfectly Safe Engineering to develop all
sorts of new technology for these great days of Science!
"Anyways, we've got a new device to use with your EVAs. This is our
prototype Progression Knife-which uses a very cunningly designed core
that combines Repulsion and Propulsion gels in very carefully mixed
quantities. Add electricity, and that blade'll heat up to over ten
thousand degrees Fahrenheit-damn near cut through anything.
"As you can see, if the blade segment grows dull, it'll automatically
break off and advance the next section. Don't worry about those
detached segments, the lab boys tell me as long as nobody tries to eat,
drink, or inhale any of the fumes it generates, there shouldn't be a
problem.
"Well, as you can see, besides your usual payment (thanks, Caroline), we
need you to sign this document that releases us from any liability from
problems with our equipment."
