This One's Special

[dee_lorean81]

Not only is it Dee's birthday, it's the anniversary of Temporal Experiment #1 -- and the calendar matches up with it being on a Saturday! So that's pretty cool, isn't it? The Inkwell's done up in silver, red, and yellow this time, with little toy DeLoreans on the tables and paper fire trails to hold up the balloons. Just like on Tuesday with Doc, there's fun and merriment to be had, so stop on by!

Dee grins and pats their tops. "Thanks guys!" she says, picking up the box.

Or, well, trying to. The box proves to be rather heavy, and it takes some help from Doc to get it onto the table. Opening it reveals the reason why -- it's full of various DeLorean car parts. "Oh! Well, some of these had to be hard to find," she notes, picking up a piece of a transmission.

"Oh yeah," Steven confirms. "But we figured we ought to get you some just in case you need maintenance."

"This way Doc doesn't have to spend the time and money tracking 'em all down," Gary adds, using his laser to indicate the scientist. "This is all on Aperture's dime, baby."

"Yeah -- the problems of being a rare car," Dee sighs, then smiles again. "Thanks a lot, guys! Hopefully I won't need any of them for a while, but it's good to have them."

"Very good," Doc agrees. "I'd say something about using another's credit card, but -- it's Aperture." You don't really complain about these things with the just-this-side-of-evil laboratory.

"You're welcome! May you not need to use our gift for many years to come," Gary says, waggling his gun arms.

"And yeah, don't worry about them -- Cave Johnson's got surprisingly good credit for a guy who bought all those moon rocks," Steve says. "GLaDOS has probably been hacking the bank long before us."
