'The Borealis'
 An experiment in environmental story telling:

This fan art project tells the story of a lonely inhabitant of the Borealis - Missing Aperture Science ship from Portal 2 and key location from Half-Life 2.

The space is based on tropes found in Dr Isaac Kleiner's lab early in Half-Life 2, and builds on the idea that this individual is alone, salvaging his supplies from the core of the Borealis. The contents of the space and characters were guided by audio logs and extracts from the games themselves, and builds around the fiction that this individual is (re)building an old friend. Let's hope she doesn't flood the interior with neurotoxin this time!
