Greetings, Mr. Benjamin Franklin Olivo, Head of Aperture Science Laboratories Interworld Travel.

I hope you still remember this letter after the revitalization of the company, whether or not our connection is severed.

You were an honored employee of our company, so I tasked you with solving the problem of product positioning for the shower curtain line. You have been involved in large and small projects, and are one of the few people who have ever witnessed the future through an aperture time machine. So far we have not reached a conclusion on the situation you encountered, but our company recognizes your excellent ability and believes that you can bring your accurate knowledge of the usefulness of things and your steady style of action to the research vessel.

My son, whether the ship's dock holds danger or opportunity, whether you are there to let the new company explore its own rules or choose to repeat the mistakes of our world and make deals with foreign governments, it doesn't matter so much, because our results have proved our existence, and that's enough. There is no such thing as a wasted life for me, and I have no regrets that I have written to you specifically in a foreign language, because your familiarity with foreign languages eludes me. There's always the intern who thinks the sharp moon rock sample will cut my lungs and my passion until there's nothing left, no, kids, it cuts nothing until there's nothing left in my head but paranoia.

I hated myself for making seven mercury shower curtains, they made both my kidneys fail; I tried to accept government scrutiny once, but I had to open the floodgates again after Test Shaft 9 was sealed off- listening to the government proved to be a mistake, so I hated myself for not giving seven mercury shower curtains to seven Navy executives, and screw them, not giving me the funding should go to hell.

If this system doesn't get done by the time I die, then shove her in there, she'll argue and say she can't, but she has to be able to if she can't!

You can all go back to your desks. I have nothing to say.

Olivo, I want you to always remember. And then those assholes in New Mexico will wait for their demise.

Watch your back,

Cave Johnson

你好,光圈科技跨世界旅行部主管 本杰明·富兰克林·奥利沃先生/Benjamin Franklin Olivo,

我希望在公司的重振后你依旧记得这封信,无论我们之间的联系是否被切断。

你是我司的荣誉员工,所以我委派你解决了浴帘生产线的产品定位问题。你参与过大大小小的项目目,是为数不多的,曾通过光圈时间机器见证未来的人。迄今为止我们对你遇到的那次情况仍未研讨出定论,但我司认可你的优秀能力,相信你可以把对事物用处的准确认知和稳扎稳打的行事风格带上科考船。孩子,无论船舶码头上拥有的是危险还是机遇,无论你在码头上让新公司探寻出自己的规则还是选择重蹈我们这个世界的覆辙,与异国的政府进行交易,这都不是那么的重要,因为我们的成果证明过我们的存在,这就够了。我的一生不存在什么虚度,我并不后悔,我特地用异国的语言写给你看,因为你对异国语言的熟知程度让我望尘莫及。总有实习生认为锋利的月岩样本会将我的双肺和我的热情割到什么也不剩,不,孩子们,它什么都没割烂,直到我的脑子里只剩下偏执。我痛恨自己做了七张水银浴帘,它们让我的双肾衰竭;我曾经试着接受政府的审查,但9号测试井被封存后我不得不再次打开闸门—— 事实证明听政府的话就是个错误,所以我痛恨自己没能把七张水银浴帘送给七名海军高层,去他的,不给我资助就应该去死。

如果这个系统到我死时都没能完成,那就把她塞进去,她会争辩,说她不能,但不能也得能!

你们可以回你的办公桌上去了,我没什么要说的。

奥利沃,我希望你永远记住。然后新墨西哥州的那帮混蛋就等着灭亡吧。

看好你的,

Cave Johnson
