  Summary

  This story is a bit of an experiment (ha ha) to see if I could blend Cabin Pressure and Portal as Martin reveals his upbringing to Douglas. You don't actually need to know Portal to understand it but it's such a brilliant game you really, really should.

  So, a bit of context... Martin is Chell. I've followed canon that Chell has been trapped at Aperture Science since 'Bring Your Daughter Son to Work Day' where Martin showed off his clock powered by a potato. I've stuck to the events of Portal 1 and 2 as best as possible. I've also included some of Jonathan Coulton's amazing lyrics as sung by Ellen McLain.

  So here's Martin on a trip back to Idaho for the first time since he escaped.
