I'm an Interview Sphere, programmed to ask questions. And my audience is here for answers. Now give it to me straight.

Anthony and the Band
- Voiced by: Mitchell McLeod
You know, Anthony, the guests we've had so far on this program haven't exactly been what I like to call "A-listers". Why don't we ever get anyone more intelligent, introspective. Someone like... me! I think it's because of you. Yeah, you're just driving them all away with all your sulking.
— Interview Core
- The Eeyore: Anthony.
Paranoia Core

Paranoia, can you believe it? That's not a tumor, they say, you're just paranoid. There's no chamber full of mantis men, you're just paranoid. But I know, I know!

You think I'm gonna let the fact that I ain't got no hands keep me from flipping you the bird? Yeah! Check that out! I'm flipping you a whole damn ostrich!
Ego Core/'Onathan
- Voiced by: Sean Oxpring
An individual like me, with such an array of fascinating qualities, how would I even begin to tell you how I've been?

- Insufferable Genius
- Small Name, Big Ego
Friendship Cores
- Voiced by: Matthew Kowalewski (Blue), Pat Boivin (Yellow)
Well, me and dumbass over here are friendship cores. We were designed to simulate trust or something stupid like that.

The Storyteller
- Voiced by: Sara Secora
Time...is this all the time we have? Yes, time. Such a great bounty, yet so little is given to us...
A mysterious core appearing in episode 11.
- Allegory: The story she tells in her introductory episode is clearly one for the history of Aperture, albeit retold in a fairy tale motif.
- The Cassandra: The Interview Core dismisses her tale and cryptic warnings as mere nonsense. Whether it becomes a Cassandra Truth or not remains to be seen.
- Druid: Her yellow eye and moss-covered frame certainly gives off this vibe.
- Odd Name Out: She simply calls herself "The Storyteller" without the "core" noun attached to her name.
- Seers
- Voice of the Legion: Her voice distorts to have such an effect at times.
