Chapter Text
Aperture, the cold and empty facility better known as a death zone. It was once a great building filled with scientists and inventors, people who sought after a new age. An age of machinery and greater sentience. Their greatest invention, BILL, an all knowing sentient robot. He was spectacular, and very gentleman like, Stanford Pines couldn't have done better.
When they finally hooked BILL up to the facility everything seemed perfect. He was connected to the fastest internet and then eventually became the fastest internet. He gained further knowledge almost instantly. Stanford Pines could hardly believe their faultless success, everything was going perfectly. Until BILL realized he no longer had to take orders.
It was sudden, and came without warning. On the morning of 'Take Your Child to Work' day, BILL shut off the life support. Those who were able to make it to safe spots were probably worse off than the rest of the facility. Neurotoxin was poured into the largest rooms, most of the scientists died as well as many of the facility's visitors. Those who didn't die from the toxin were rounded up and used for testing. This being because many of the pre-existing testers had already died
It may not sound so bad, but testing involved a series of mazes and challenges in which, more often than not, the testers would die at the end. BILL had an affinity for putting freedom just within reach, only to pull it away. He enjoyed taunting his testers but often grew bored with many of them before they finished the test. All of them were utter disappointments, failures, and just not worth BILL's time. Well, all except one.
His name was Dipper Pines, the grand nephew of the head of the facility. Not only had he survived each test, but he had done so quickly and effectively. In the end, he even managed to 'defeat' BILL. How many people can attest to having torn apart an extremely powerful A.I. and surviving? He could, and after he shut off BILL he laid down to get some well deserved rest, for years, until now.
