Not only does Chell not really know what to call GLaDOS… what if GLaDOS doesn’t really know what to call GLaDOS either?

Like, when I give myself little instructions in my head, I’m not like, “Calm down, Katie,” or “Katie, you had better go and do this before you fall asleep.” It’s always “you” or “me.” Never my given name.

I can see Chell not knowing what to call her. Just referring to her as “the mainframe” or something. But what if GLaDOS had no idea what to call herself, as well? Like, yes, her designation is the “Genetic Lifeform and Disc Operating System,” and she knows that, but Chell would be like, “That isn’t a name.” And then it’s like, hmm… what now?

Would that be kind of interesting? I dunno… now I kinda want to try this with the next bits of Extrication. I’d have to go back and replace some words, but… I think it’d be worth it.
