Wait a second...

I'm sorry if this has been posted before, but think about how small the furnace you dropped the weighted companion cube in. Now, consider that when you are sliding into the fire pit, GLaDOS says that there was no chance of a equipment malfunction due to heat because "All Aperture technologies remain safely operational up to 4000 degrees Kelvin. Rest assured that there is absolutely no chance of a dangerous equipment malfunction prior to your victory candescence."

So wait. If GLaDOS is right, then the weighted companion cube might not actually be gone. Of course, you might point out that GLaDOS's different AI cores were able to be destroyed in the same kind of furnace that you put the cube in, but I'm sure that since the Aperture scientists were obviously worried about the AI going haywire (The red phone, the fact that there's a furnace in the room.) they would probably not have made those parts so heat resistant.

So what do you think? Think the WCC would have been fireproof to the same degree?

Well of course, it was waiting for you at the end of the game!

A cube isn't exactly "technology". Also, that was an "Aperture Science Emergency Intelligence Incinerator" meaning that it is used for destroying things like intelligence so nobody will find out about said intelligence.

Leave it to Aperture to devise such a horribly dangerous and hard to use document shredder.

even if it did die, there was more then one. after the wcc dropped from the vent, another fell down. or was that just a regular cube?

It was the WCC. Maybe just a WCC

You bring up a valid point though- GLADOS had her cores stuffed into the incinerator, they may be resistant to the heat so perhaps this is how she is still alive?

I don't think it's possible, since GLaDOS herself said that she was curious about <Player name Here>, but <Player name Here> destroyed that part of her (Curiosity Core).

...I think.

What if the Aperture Science Emergency Intelligence Incinerator heats up to 4001 degrees Kelvin?
