{{Quotations|'''Henry'''Think about it. Every generation got a new frontier to tackle. Einstein got relativity. The NASA cowboys got the moon. All the easy stuff is taken.|}}

'''Henry''' in the comic '''LAB RAT''' is said to be another scientist working on building '''GLaDOS'''.Although little is known about Henry we do know these things. Unlike Doug Rattman Henry is optimistic about the outcome of GLaDOS.{{Spoiler|Later, when GLaDOS was activated, Henry gleefully provided her with neurotoxin to a recreation of the Schrödinger's Cat experiment, claiming: "Well as long as it's for science." Henry is thought to be killed on the Aperture bring your daughter to work day due to neurotoxin poisoning.}}

{{Quotation|'''Party Escort Bot'''|"Thank you for assuming the party escort submission position."|}}

The '''Party Escort Bot''' or '''Party Associate''', is a mysterious pink-eyed [[Cores#Personality Cores|core]] and android that was originally cut from ''[[Portal]]'' until it was later added into the game's ending as part of the [[March 3, 2010 Patch (Portal)|March 3, 2010 patch]].

== Overview ==
During the events of ''[[Portal]]'', [[GLaDOS]] refers to the Party Associate after failing her attempt to kill [[Chell]] at the end of the [[Portal Test Chamber 19|final test chamber]]. As Chell did not follow GLaDOS as the latter instructed her to "place the device on the ground, then lie on [her] stomach with [her] arms at [her] sides" which was described as the "party escort submission position", it is presumed that the Party Escort Bot was required to travel to the surface in order to retrieve her and "escort her to the party".

Prior to the [[March 3, 2010 Patch (Portal)|March 3, 2010 patch]], ''Portal'' ended with [[Chell]] slowly regaining consciousness on the parking lot above the [[Aperture Science]] Enrichment Center. Since the patch was added to bridge the gap between ''Portal'' and ''[[Portal 2]]'', Chell is instead slowly and unwillingly dragged back towards the facility by the unseen Party Escort Bot as it thanks her for "assuming the party escort submission position".

The Party Escort Bot is seen briefly in the ''[[Portal 2: Lab Rat]]'' comic and was only partially depicted, revealed to be a [[Cores#Personality Cores|core]]-based android with a pink eye.

Like most Aperture robots, the Party Escort Bot possesses a mechanical tone of voice.

== Development and acting ==
According to [[Valve Corporation|Valve]] writer Erik Wolpaw, the Party Escort Bot was initially intended to be seen as an easter egg during the escape chapter of ''Portal''. Wolpaw describes the bot as something that will "presumably come to collect Chell after she escapes the fiery death that GLaDOS had prepared for her".<ref>[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2010/03/10/opening-the-portal-exploring-portal-s-creation-and-its-ties-to-half-life-2.aspx?PostPageIndex=2 Opening The Portal: Exploring The Game's Development] on GameInformer</ref> Currently, the voice actor behind the Party Associate has yet to be named and may likely have been a part of the Valve staff.

== Trivia ==
* The Party Escort Bot uses a placeholder model in-game, named <code>GhostAnim.mdl</code>, which uses the texture of the bean cans found throughout the game.
