Description Code Monkey get memo from scientists
Compulsory test
Code Monkey not too worried
Code Monkey does his best.
Scientists tell him talk into a microphone
Say apple, say bird
Code Monkey does everything they tell him to
Even if it absurd

Code Monkey tries hard to think of clever things
While the scientists scan his brain
Code Monkey is good employee
Code Monkey make big time, you'll see


^___^

My second attempt at a human Wheatley who looks not unlike Stephen Merchant. I think I did a better job this time. I particularly tried to catch his giant mouth and slightly chipmunky front teeth.

And yes, I think Wheatley would be the kind of person who'd crack a huge daft smile for an ID photo. They probably had to use this one because they'd wasted enough shots just trying to lower the seat enough to get the top of his head in the frame.

The Aperture logos and Portal belong to Valve. 'Code Monkey' is by Jonathan Coulton. Comments are love!

Aaaaaah <3 I love every Wheatley that's based off Stephen Merchant. They're all so CUTE.
Also, I like that you used Code Monkey... that song is adorable xD (Code Monkey like Chell you~)

It would be really interesting if Wheatley was a former AS employee- they seem to have a thing for basing their AI off their employees' brains, so perhaps Wheatley was partially based off a doofy code monkey they had. They chose him for the AI-ifying 'cause he was so utterly terrible at his programming job... : P

Yeah! It's a sort of plot point of the fic I'm writing, too. I think by the end of the human-led Aperture era the suggestion was that they were throwing every hobo, passerby and dimwit employee they could lay their hands on into their testing protocols.

Oh my goodness you're writing a fic YESSSSSSS.
And yeah, that seems to be the general summary of the ideas floating around! And very cool ideas they are. Oh, Cave, you crazy fella, makin' everybody into robots...

Yep, about 1/2way through it. I want to finish it before I start putting it up 'cause I have a bad track record of putting things up in parts before I finish them, catching up with myself mid-fic, and never finishing the thing. Not this time. Nope. I'm smarter than that now. Books, you see. ^_^

Oooh, nice!
Also, that is a very good policy. I need to learn that, myself...
