The high cost of progress: Aperture Science’s lunar poison experiment
In short: Explore the dark humor and questionable ethics of Aperture Science's latest research. This walkthrough highlights a desperate attempt to turn toxic moon rocks into a revolutionary portal conductor.
In this segment of Chapter 7, the narrative reveals how mandatory employee participation has been used to maintain testing standards despite poor retention rates. The facility is currently transitioning away from human subjects, yet several projects remain unfinished due to budget constraints.
The video showcases a specific experiment where Aperture Science purchased 70 million dollars worth of moon rocks—despite being told they couldn't afford even 7 dollars worth. While the ground-up lunar material proved to be 'pure poison,' it functioned as an excellent portal conductor. The goal was to see if jumping through these portals could leach the toxins from a human's bloodstream.
