Description
Finally here!
Happy Canada Day from Aperture North! As a surprise, we're giving you an updated version of Pure Intellect: Part 2, for your playing pleasure! Now, due to potentially apocalyptic circumstances [beyond our control], HDR compile kept on crashing, so if you are picky on maps without HDR, go play elsewhere. Also; because the original map was set in a large empty space, optimization was tricky, but I did the best I could. Even when I did get long compile working, the lighting didn't look as moody as on normal, so there.

Anywho, I don't like writing descriptions. But this map has everything. It's got a test, some exploration, and OMG! Logic_choreographed_scenes! Something that many a map on the workshop doesn't have! Also, this revision has been in the works since March, so I think that it's as good as it'll ever be. VERY hard to optimize something like this AFTER it's been built. Sorry for party-lagging. I've run out of things to add! Um, sorry about the preview image as well, I have no idea what resolution it's supposed to be, I just went off the dimensions from the web version. So I'm sick of the Underground for now; expect Wheatley's Detour II after this.

If you want to know, the primary songs that inspired this map were the Skrillex Orchestral Arrangement, Oxygene No. 4 by Jean Michael Jarre, Cat by C418, and all the A3 Songs from the Portal 2 soundtrack.

Also, about the exponent at the end of the title on the image: I realized that Pure Intellect abbreviated is PI, so when used with the exponent 2, it becomes Pi2, or Pi Squared! Hehe . . .
SPECIAL THANKS GO TO ALLOS, DELI73, AND TANGER2B FOR PLAYTESTING THE MAP. SPECIAL MENTION GOES TO THE COMMUNITY FOR OVER 2000 SUBS. YAY!
Map contains 1 musical easter egg. So there ya have it. I told you I hate writing descriptions, especially when it's 26 degrees Celsius outside. Ouch.
IMPORTANT!! Before you downvote, take a moment to comment on why you think this is bad! As a mapper, I always want to know what people don't like, so don't be afraid!

Loved the map. Though I was kinda disappointed that the "CAVEoS" didn't do some kind of jiggle dance to show off his new body, or at least some kind of movement. Following the player would've been good enough, to let you know that Cave Is Watching! :D

I jumped out of the first chamber with the blue gel to the next chamber. A little short (only 1 puzzle room)

Nice environment/map. The puzzles aren't that great. If u want to explore in a gritty Cave Johnson environment this map is for u. If u want hard logic puzzles look somewhere else.

Didn't use the orange gel in this map, either. Wait this is almost six years old LOL
