{{Quotation|'''Cave Johnson'''|I'm Cave Johnson. I own the place.|sound=Cave_Johnson_fifties_intro04.wav}}
'''Cave Johnson''' is the founder of [[Aperture Science]], which evolved from its precursor, Aperture Science Innovators. Cave Johnson first appeared by name as a reference in a [[Media:Portal_Ratman_scrawling.png|hidden room]] in ''[[Portal]]'', and was fleshed out and provided with additional details during the [[Portal ARG]]. In ''[[Portal 2]]'', Cave Johnson became a prominent character and communicates with the player through a variety of automated audio recordings. {{spoiler text|His current status and whereabouts are unknown, but he is presumed dead due to his exposure to the toxic by-products created as a result of refining moon rocks.}}

Cave Johnson is voiced by American actor {{W|J. K. Simmons}}.

== History ==
==== Shower curtains ====
In 1953, Cave Johnson created Aperture Fixtures, a shower curtain manufacturer. The precursor to Aperture Science, he selected the name because it 'makes the curtains sound more hygienic'. He became a billionaire after winning contracts to manufacture shower curtains for the U.S. Military.

==== Aperture Science Innovators====
During his career in science, he called upon the wealthy and powerful to join his cause for the future of science. He also employed top scientists and other staff who were dedicated to the field, such as [[Caroline]], and those lacking common sense for the dangers inherent in scientific experimentation. {{spoiler text|Most of his ideas were wild and, more often than not, lethal. Some experiments involved replacing the test subject's blood with gasoline, while others exposed a test subject to jet engines in order to lower the amount of water in the human body. The latter experiment was conducted after Cave Johnson concluded that the average amount of water in the human body 'seemed excessive'. Most of his crackpot ideas turned out to be massive failures, leaving only a few that seemed to be remotely useful, such as the [[Gels|gels]] that appear during the later stages of the game.}}

==== Aperture ====
At the time of its creation, Aperture Science Innovations had developed {{spoiler text|the ''Aperture Science Portable Quantum Tunneling Device'',}} a prototype to the modern [[Handheld Portal Device]] Chell wields. {{spoiler text|As such, it seems that Aperture had already started to perfect portal technology, but was not ready to release it to the world, under the belief that much more could be done than just create portals. Of course, the technology was also impractical and bulky, and was delayed by Cave's wild innovations. During the 1970s, Aperture Science had become known as just 'Aperture', and the rise of Black Mesa and its success in bidding for contracts pushed Cave's temper to the limit. It was around this time that Caroline became a bigger part of Cave's life as a secretary, and Cave became more desperate in his struggle to continue his work by offering incentives to potential test subjects, although only rarely were test subjects able to collect their reward due to the hazards involved.}}

==== Aperture Laboratories ====
{{See also|Aperture Science}}
At some point during the 1980s, Cave Johnson had renamed the company to Aperture Laboratories, a name that would be known far into the future. However, the number of willing test subjects had dwindled over the years, and out of desperation, employees and random strangers were pulled off the streets in order to be a part of the testing. The technology had advanced greatly, and robots had started to replace human employees. These employees then become unfortunate victims in Cave's quest for the future of science.

{{spoiler text|During his final days, Cave stated that he had tried to purchase a number of "moon rocks". However, his last few recordings indicated that these acquired "moon rocks" were toxic, and resulted in a fatal illness. He explained that he contracted the illness when, in one of his wild ideas, he was grinding moon rocks together in the name of science in order to form a new type of substance called the 'Conversion Gel', most likely named due to its ability to serve as a portal conductor and allow portals to be placed on any surface. As the symptoms of his terminal illness became more severe however, he decided to re-purpose the 'conversion gel' to create new portals that would hopefully leech the poison out of his system.

His attempts to cure his affliction failed, and with little hope of a cure, he instructed his engineers to start research on {{W|artificial intelligence}} (AI) and {{W|brain mapping}} in the hope that his brain could be downloaded into a computer. Cave also stated that they "should've been doing this 30 years ago". Fearing that he would die before the release of the technology, he left instructions that his secretary [[Caroline]] should take charge of Aperture Science. He stated that he knows that "she will decline at first or feel she can't do it", which he followed up with "force her to do it if you have to". It is presumed that Caroline was selected due to her devotion scientific progress, a trait admired by Cave, and also due to her close relationship with Aperture's founder. It is unknown what became of Cave himself, but it is presumed that he fell victim to his illness and, ultimately, to science.}}

Turrets

2011-06-13T05:56:20Z

CatherineJV: /* Trivia */

[[File:Turret_Boxed.png|right|thumb|Sentry Turret packaging|200px]]
{{Quotation|'''Sentry Turret'''|Hello friend.|sound=Turret_turret_active_5.wav}}
'''Turrets''' serve as one of the main obstacles in the ''Portal'' series. Armed with unlimited ammunition and deadly accuracy, they will attempt to kill the player on sight.

Turrets are voiced by [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1655889/ Ellen McLain].
__TOC__
{{Clr}}

==General==

===Sentry Turret===
[[File:Portal2 Turret Standard.png|right|100px|The Sentry Turret]]
'''Sentry Turrets''' appear as miniature tripod robots that appear in the ''Portal'' series. They are incapable of independent movement, but can open each side of their chassis (their 'arms') horizontally in order to reveal two gatling guns. The central part of the chassis holds their red 'eye', which emits a targeting laser.

When Turrets are unaware of the player's presence, they will maintain a standby state and will remain motionless with their guns retracted. Moving into their angle of sight however, will cause Turrets to deploy their guns with a voice line before opening fire. They will continue to fire until the player is dead or moves out of sight. If the latter occurs, Turrets will briefly search for the player (as indicated by the movement of the targeting laser), after which they will revert to a standby state.

Turrets can be avoided, disabled or destroyed in a number of ways. The most common method is knocking them over, causing them to flail and fire wildly before deactivating. This can be done by picking them up and dropping them, or using any object to push them. Additionally, the [[Thermal Discouragement Beam]] or [[Emancipation Grid]] can be used to completely destroy them. It should be noted that once a Turret has been knocked over and deactivated, restoring it to an upright position will reactivate it and the Turret will function normally once again.
{{Clr}}
===Rocket Turret===
[[File:Portal Rocket Turret.png|right|100px|The Rocket Turret]]
The '''Rocket Turret''' is a unique enemy in [[Portal]]. It appears as a personality core outfitted with a rocket launcher. Upon activation, it will slowly lock onto Chell and emit a sound before launching a rocket. {{Spoiler|It plays a vital role in the battle with [[GLaDOS]], as rockets need to be sent through [[Portals]] in order to hit her, causing [[Cores#Personality Cores|personality cores]] to detach.}}
{{Clr}}
===Defective Turret===
[[File:Portal2 Turret Defective.png|right|100px|The Defective Turret]]
'''Defective Turrets''', also called "Crap Turrets" by [[Wheatley]], are incomplete, ammo-less versions of Sentry Turrets. Unlike normal Sentry Turrets, Defective Turrets speak in a masculine, less robotic voice.

They are harmless to Chell, many times making comments such as "If anyone asks, I killed you". Their voice lines seem to imply they are blind, but they are still aware of Chell's presence. {{spoiler text|They are first encountered in Chapter 5: The Escape.}}
{{Clr}}
===Frankenturret===
[[File:Portal2_MonsterTurret_b.png|right|100px|The Frankenturret]]
{{spoiler text|'''Frankenturrets''' are bizarre Sentry Turret-[[Weighted Storage Cube]] hybrids created by Wheatley in order to complete test chambers when he had no test subjects. They are first introduced in Chapter 8: The Itch.}}

{{spoiler text|Frankenturrets do not speak, and instead emitting incomprehensible chirping sounds. They act as the Chapter's replacement for Storage Cubes, their only difference being that Frankenturrets will hop around aimlessly while not placed on a button. When picked up by Chell, they retract their legs inside their cubes. If they fall over on their sides or upside down, they will wave their legs trying to get up.}}
{{Clr}}
===Animal King Turret===
[[File:Portal2_AnimalKing.png|right|100px|The Animal King Turret]]
The '''Animal King''' is a unique turret that is only referred to in an [[Aperture Science]] slideshow entired "Animal King Takeover" in Chapter 1: The Courtesy Call. The Turret is considerably larger than its Sentry Turret brethren, and appears to operate in exactly the same way. It can be distinguished from ordinary turrets by its immense size, crown and leopard skin-detailed chassis. In the context of the slideshow, the Animal King Turret is used as an example of an entity or organisation capable of taking control of Earth which "[[Media:Announcer prehub46.wav|...refuses to, or is incapable of listening to reason]]".

{{spoiler text|The Animal Turret appears only once at the end of the game, when Chell is travelling to the surface after defeating Wheatley.}}

==Appearances==

=== Portal ===
{{See also|Portal}}
Turrets are introduced to the player in Test Chamber 14. Following this, they continue to appear throughout the remaining levels.

=== Portal: Still Alive ===
{{See also|Portal: Still Alive}}

=== Portal 2 ===

Turrets return in the sequel as both an enemy to Chell and the [[Co-op]] robots, and appear fairly early in the game. Distinct versions of the turret are introduced, including the Defective Turret and Animal King Turret.

Hi and welcome to the Portal Wiki~ I had to revert your edit to [[Chell]] because it was malformed (spoiler tag wasn't closed) and because it was speculation :( We wouldn't really want lots of speculation on articles, so please keep it to facts. Thanks and welcome again~ — [[User:WindPower|Wind]] 05:39, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

== Alright ==

:In all honesty it's fine. Sure. I don't quite havE all my facts straight anyway. I retried posting it so believe me I am sorry. I'll return to this topic when I might be able to prove it, somehow. It's completely fine. [[User:CatherineJV|CatherineJV]] 05:58, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
::All right then, thanks~ — [[User:WindPower|Wind]] 05:59, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
I thought I should ask about thi first. In the first test chamber with the discouragement redirection cube, if you get back to the corner where the cube drops, wheatly will pop out of a pannel in the wall and if you are quick enough you can grab him and carry him through the rest of the test chamber. He disappears after you enter the elevator. Is this fine for me to post in the trivia section?[[User:CatherineJV|CatherineJV]] 05:40, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

CatherineJV: Chell origins.

{{stub}}
[[File:Chell.png|right|thumb|Chell in ''Portal 2''.|200px]]
{{Quotation|'''GLaDOS'''|You really are doing great... Chell.|sound=GLaDOS_sp_sphere_2nd_encounter_completion01.wav}}
'''Chell''' is the protagonist of both ''[[Portal]]'' and ''[[Portal 2]]''. Little is known about her past beyond her being abandoned at birth and her stubborn will to live. She wields only the [[Handheld Portal Device]] throughout her entire quest for freedom.

== History ==
Most of Chell's history remains a mystery. Throughout ''Portal 2'', [[GLaDOS]] mentions numerous times that Chell was abandoned at birth and later adopted, though the credibility of GLaDOS' word is left up to the interpreter. Many of GLaDOS' comments throughout ''Portal 2'' and the latter stages of Portal are in an effort to belittle, annoy, or distract Chell from achieving her goal, whether or not statements of her adoption are true or not is up for debate.

The entry seemingly began as a potato, interacting with "an element from daddys work" and has now grown massively out of control and taken up roots in the structure.}}
* {{spoiler text|The [[turret]] opera at the end of ''Portal 2'' mentions Chell by name, calling her "cara mia" {{N}} "my dear" in Italian. This implies a deeper connection between Chell and GLaDOS than was previously let on.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtAXSyFCWXY</ref>}}
* Chell is modelled after actress {{W|Alésia Glidewell}}.

*{{spoiler text| evidence from the game somewhat state that Chell could possibly be the offspring of Cave Johnson and Caroline. It is stated that she is an orphan. In the end credits song " Want You Gone" GLaDOS states Chell was a lot like Caroline. Also in translation of the [[turret]] opera, it says " my child" or "my dear" often. Falling back on the " bring your daughter to work day" one of the projects was signed by Chell. I am currently finding out what happened to her that split them, if anything}}

'''Chell''' is the protagonist of both ''[[Portal]]'' and ''[[Portal 2]]''. Little is known about her past beyond her being abandoned at birth and her stubborn will to live. She wields only the [[Handheld Portal Device]] throughout her entire quest for freedom.

== History ==
Most of Chell's history remains a mystery. Throughout ''Portal 2'', [[GLaDOS]] mentions numerous times that Chell was abandoned at birth and later adopted, though the credibility of GLaDOS' word is left up to the interpreter. Many of GLaDOS' comments throughout ''Portal 2'' and the latter stages of Portal are in an effort to belittle, annoy, or distract Chell from achieving her goal, whether or not statements of her adoption are true or not is up for debate.

== Trivia ==
* {{spoiler text|One of the ''Bring Your Daughter to Work Day'' science-fair entries within ''Portal 2'' is signed, "by Chell"; indicating Chell was the daughter of an Aperture Science employee. The entry seemingly began as a potato, interacting with "an element from daddys work" and has now grown massively out of control and taken up roots in the structure.}}
* {{spoiler text|The [[turret]] opera at the end of ''Portal 2'' mentions Chell by name, calling her "cara mia" {{N}} "my dear" in Italian. This implies a deeper connection between Chell and GLaDOS than was previously let on.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtAXSyFCWXY</ref>}}
* Chell is modelled after actress {{W|Alésia Glidewell}}.

*{{spoiler text| evididence from the game somewhat states that Chell could be the offspring of cave Johnson and Caroline. In the end credits song, "want you gone, GLaDOS states that Caroline was a lot like Chell. Translations from the [[turret]] opera say " my child" or "my dear" often. Also falling upon the " bring your daughter to work day" a project was signed by Chell.
