CAUTION While your Mini Companion Cube™ can be used to wedge open doors, distract feral animals and as a stepping stone when traversing lava, Aperture Science does not recommend:

- Using your Mini Companion Cube™ in space. The Mini Companion Cube™ is allergic to several species of creature common in space.
