Cave Johnson here
Yo, it's Cavey J with a brand new rap
Aperture Science
Man oh man. Wow.

Shoved my girl all up in a computer
Got my kicks with a quantum tunnel shooter
Left Black Mesa in the ruins with my genius
Then they stole my inventions, I was furious

Jump to the moon with blue repulsion
Get your miles per hour up on propulsion
Gravity don't matter when you use adhesion
Kill your foes with a robot legion

Got so much dollar I don't know how to spend it
If you defy me your career will be ended
Everybody dance now everybody rave
Nobody's sicker than the huge dark Cave

Sicker in the sense that I soon gonna die
Took a rocket to the moon now that's how you fly
Got that crap in our rovers' sensors
This rap ain't gettin' cut by the censors

Now we've put those rocks to use
Ground 'em up into pure moon juice
Thought it was milk which I accidentally drank
Now I got problems beyond my bank

Doctors said I'm running outta time
Coughing up dust like an old salt mine
Gotta leave behind a legacy when I fade
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade

Nah bro, make life take the lemons back!
Knuckle down hard and write a science rap
Everybody dance now everybody rave
Nobody's sicker than the huge dark Cave

Jump to the moon with blue repulsion
Get your miles per hour up on propulsion
Gravity don't matter when you use adhesion
Kill your foes with a robot legion

Lookin' back on my life from my hospital bed
So much science I need a bigger head
Got more dough than an astronaut or 'lympian
My life's work stretches out into oblivion

Handing this facility down to my assistant
She got cores so she doesn't kill the systems
So many subjects, so many tests
Keep her busy while I lie down to rest

My final thought as I prepare to pass?
Black Mesa can kiss my bankrupt...
Everybody dance now everybody rave
Nobody's sicker than the huge dark Cave

On your marks and get set for Marathon! A medium difficulty gel-based puzzle which isn't too intense but has quite a lot of steps, just like a marathon!

With this map, I aimed to create a pure gel puzzle with no cubes or fizzlers. That put a tight restriction on how challenging the map could be, but I wanted this puzzle to sit as an intermediary between Fluid and Skyranger in terms of challenge, so hopefully the difficulty feels appropriate for that. Comments and feedback are, as always, very much appreciated! :)
