'''''Portal 2''''' is the sequel to the award winning and hugely successful ''[[Portal]]'' developed by [[Valve|Valve Corporation]]. It features a single-player story set after the events of ''Portal'''s story; and a brand-new [[Co-op]] game mode, featuring additional [[test chambers]] designed specifically for Co-operative play. ''Portal 2'' was released April 19, 2011 on the Steam platform. North America got retail release on the April 19, 2011; Europe and Australia, April 21, 2011.

== Plot ==
{{main|Story}}
{{Spoiler|''Portal 2'' takes place an indeterminate amount of time after the events of ''Portal'', which saw [[Chell]] destroying the sentient computer [[GLaDOS]], and landing outside the facility, only to be dragged back inside of [[Aperture Science]] where she was ultimately placed in a [[Relaxation Chamber]] for the indefinite future.}}

{{Spoiler|After considerable time has passed, [[Wheatley]], a [[personality core]], that has helped to maintain Aperture Science during the absence of GLaDOS arrives at the room of the awakening Chell. With a desire to flee the crumbling facility, Wheatley and Chell begin their quest to escape Aperture Science to return to the real world. After separating from Wheatley and completing a series of tests revisited from ''Portal'', Chell reunites with Wheatley and head to what they believe will be escape. They must cross through the chamber of GLaDOS who lies broken and dismembered on the floor of her chamber, they enter the breaker room looking for a way out, and instead accidentally reactivate GLaDOS. They rise up through the floor just in time to witness GLaDOS pulling herself back together and taking over the facility again. Chell and GLaDOS quickly reunite, culminating with GLaDOS using a robotic arm to drop Chell into the incinerator, and guiding her back towards a new series of tests that GLaDOS intends to force Chell to run continuously until she dies.}}

{{Spoiler|Meanwhile, Wheatley attempts to find a way to get out from under GLaDOS and continue their attempt to escape facility, with Chell's help, he intends to disable her turret production line, disable her [[Deadly Neurotoxin]] and then shut her down once again to facilitate their escape. He reunites with Chell and they escape through the bowels of the building. After achieving their goals and enter GLaDOS' now rebuilt chamber, the computer system detects an alternate core and begins the process of a core transfer, which GLaDOS promptly refuses, prompting the Stalemate Button to be activated. Chell works her way to the button, finally hitting it, which then swaps out the cores of GLaDOS and Wheatley. Wheatley, corrupt with the power from the entire facility of Aperture, quickly turns on Chell, and shoves GLaDOS into a potato battery as revenge. He knocks them down an elevator shaft where they fall to the remnants of the previous incarnation of the Aperture facility.}}

{{Spoiler|GLaDOS (in potato form), has now informed Chell that Wheatley was designed to make extremely poor decisions, in order to turn GLaDOS into somewhat of a moron in an effort to control and dampen her homicidal tendencies. She informs Chell that Wheatley's lack of stability is going to cause the destruction of Aperture Science killing everyone and everything inside the facility. Before Chell can decide whether or not to help, GLaDOS is swooped away by a [[bird]] and Chell heads off to attempt to find a way back into the primary facility.}}

{{Spoiler|Chell uncovers the remnants of a 1950's Aperture Science guided by the voice of the now deceased Aperture Science founder [[Cave Johnson]]. She enters a series of tests, often having to navigate between them in unconventional ways due to the deterioration of the lower facility. At this time we learn of Cave Johnson's secretary/assistant, [[Caroline]], of which Cave is rather fond. Chell reunites with GLaDOS in the nest of the bird that took her. GLaDOS, insistent that she can't lie with only 1.1 volts of power, implores Chell to take her with her to put her back in her body and stop Wheatley from destroying the facility. Chell ultimately agrees and attaches GLaDOS to her [[Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device]] and they continue to try to find a path towards the upper facility.}}

{{Spoiler|As Chell continues to run through tests from the 1970's, and 1980's, GLaDOS becomes curious about Caroline and Cave who she keeps hearing in the recorded guidance in test chambers. She comes to a realization, that she chooses not to share with Chell, and they head towards the newer Aperture facility. In an effort to get back up, Chell must turn on pump stations Alpha, Beta, and Gamma which connect [[Repulsion Gel]], [[Propulsion Gel]], and [[Conversion Gel]] to the newer facility. Repulsion and Propulsion Gels were Apertures attempt at a dietary supplement, whereas Conversion Gel, made from crushed up moon rocks which ultimately lead to the death of Cave Johnson, is used as an ideal portal conductor. When painted on any surface, the ASHPD can be used as designed. They reach the newer facility where Wheatley has taken full control.}}

{{Spoiler|Wheatley, now in the body of GLaDOS which has a built in euphoric response to testing, forces Chell to begin a series of tests to fill Wheatley's new found insatiability for testing. These begin with a rather weak attempt by Wheatley to create a test chamber, but ultimately lead to test chambers stock piled by GLaDOS and shoved together crudely by Wheatley. Chell passes through these chambers, and once again finds her way out of the control of Wheatley and into the bowels of the facility. They arrive at Wheatley's test chamber which, he says, has been designed with the entire purpose of not allowing Chell to defeat him. Chell causes Wheatley to destroy a pipe containing Conversion Gel, allowing portals to be used in the chamber which ultimately leads to his destruction. With help from GLaDOS, Chell attaches corrupt personality cores to Wheatley.}}

{{Spoiler|Once the cores are attached to Wheatley, he becomes corrupt, initiating another core transfer. However, in one of the most intelligent premeditated moves Wheatley performs, he has booby trapped the stalemate button, launching Chell back into the chamber, a single portal laying under Wheatley's hanging body. Alive despite the explosion, Chell reaches for her Portal gun, and, remembering that moon dust creates an ideal portal surface, aims it through a hole in the ceiling at a full moon high in the sky. She fires, causing the space core, Chell, and Wheatley still attached to GLaDOS' body flying into space. GLaDOS quickly regains control of her body, knocks Wheatley into space, and pulls Chell back into the facility. GLaDOS monologues regarding no longer having the desire to kill Chell, and instead just wants her to leave the facility forever. She sends Chell up an elevator, past a chorus of turrets singing an opera directly to Chell, and out into a wheat field. Moments later the [[Companion Cube]], burnt and beaten, is thrown up after her and lands on the ground next to Chell.}}

{{Spoiler|Now in space, a remorseful Wheatley comprehends the choices he made, and what he might have done differently. Wishing he had, instead, helped Chell to escape rather than wind up in space.}}

{{Spoiler|The game concludes, yet again, with a song sung by GLaDOS surmising the events of the game. The song, [["Want You Gone"]], written by Jonathan Coulton indicates that, despite claims that Caroline has been deleted, is still present inside GLaDOS, and that deleting Chell from her memory bank will make GLaDOS feel better. The song concludes with GLaDOS simply telling Chell she wants her gone.}}

Talk:GLaDOS

2011-07-29T11:03:14Z

Comrade Suhov: /* Thoughts */

GLaDOS "slow clap processor" is going to become Internet meme. Someone should consider add info about it into this article or even consider creating new page. --[[User:Comrade Suhov|Comrade Suhov]] 16:05, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
: Proof dat'. And i thought, that "lemons" is going to be a new meme [[User:DrAkcel|DrAkcel]] ([[User_talk:DrAkcel|T]] | [[Special:Contributions/DrAkcel|C]]) 16:06, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
== Thoughts ==
As I played through Portal and Portal 2, I developed a theory. Cave Johnson said that if he didn't survive until the "brain uploader" project was finished, that he wanted Caroline to use it and if she didn't agree then to have her put into it by force. If she actually is the true personna of GlaDOS, then maybe that's why GlaDOS wanted to kill everyone once she was turned on, maybe out of revenge as they put her into the computer when she didn't want to. Just a theory, could we put this into the article? [[User:Sonic Nova|Sonic Nova]] 21:49, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

: Dev's once said that they added a twist about Caroline is GlaDOS at later stages of Portal 2 development. Also, GlaDOS don't remeber anything from her origins in first place and after realising who she was she become actually more friendly to Chell. I think her agresiveness is just a popular belief that rougue AI want to just kill humans as possible threat: HAL-900 from Space Oddisey, Mass Effect series, Terminator series, X-files episode and etc. --[[User:Comrade Suhov|Comrade Suhov]] 11:03, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

==Official Personality Test Info==

The [http://www.thinkwithportals.com/coop_survey.php official Aperture Science Collaborative Disposition Test] describes GLaDOS as:

”Imperious, highly intelligent, impossibly cruel-you wield your intelligence and wit like a cudgel, bludgeoning those around you into passive submission. Keep an eye out for cooperative test partners with low self esteem and body image issues.“

I'm not sure what section this information best goes under, so I'll just leave it here for now. - [[User:MewtwoWarrior|MewtwoWarrior]] 02:24, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

Radio

2011-07-12T12:40:42Z

Comrade Suhov: typo fix

[[File:Portal_Radio.png|right|thumb|The Radio in ''Portal''|200px]]
{{Quotation|'''Adventure Core'''|Here, let me put on some adventure music.|sound=Adventure_core_encouragement13.wav}}

'''Radios''' are miscellaneous items that appear in the ''Portal'' series, and appear as simple analogue AM/FM radios. Radios are introduced at the very beginning of [[Portal]], and also make a brief appearance in [[Portal 2]]. When Radios are encountered, they are usually switched on and play an up-tempo version of the tune from the end of Portal {{spoiler text|("[[Portal soundtrack#7. Still Alive - 2:56|Still Alive]]")}}.

The Radios in Portal did not originally serve any obvious purpose, and appeared to be present merely in order to provide ambiance. The [[March 1, 2010 Patch (Portal)|March 1, 2010]] patch however, added 26 additional Radios to the game, most of which were hidden in Test Chambers, and also added a new [[Achievements|achievement]], "Transmission Received". This patch, its accompanying achievement and patch notes were later revealed to be part of the [[Portal ARG]]. Among other things, the patch altered the Radios so that they would emit a {{W|Morse Code}}-like signal when placed in certain locations within a test chamber, and locating all 26 of these areas was required in order to unlock the achievement.

Radios do not play a large role in Portal 2, and appear only once in Chapter 2.

==Trivia==
*In Chapter 2: The Cold Boot, Test Chamber 6, a Radio can be found among the "garbage" that is ejected from the [[Vital Apparatus Vent]], and is necessary to complete the "Final Transmission" achievement.

Doug Rattmann

Comrade Suhov: /* Trivia */

[[File:Doug Rattmann.jpg|right|thumb|Doug Rattmann|200px]]
{{Quotation|'''Doug Rattmann'''|The cake is a lie.}}
'''Doug Rattmann''', better known as the '''Rat Man''', is an [[Aperture Science]] employee. Rattmann was working at Aperture Science when [[GLaDOS]] flooded the entire facility with deadly neurotoxin, and is the only known employee to have survived the attack. He does not appear in-game in any form, instead leaving behind paintings and murals which can be found throughout the Aperture test chambers in ''[[Portal]]'' and ''[[Portal 2]]''. A paranoid {{W|schizophrenic}}, he is dependant on anti-psychotic medication to keep him sane.

== History ==
[[File:Doug Rattmann sane.jpg|thumb|Doug Rattmann as he appears in ''Portal 2: Lab Rat'', prior to the events of ''Portal'']]
In the ''[[Portal 2: Lab Rat]]'' comic he is revealed to be an Aperture Science employee who worked on the [[Handheld Portal Device]].<ref name="portal device work">''Portal 2: Lab Rat'' comic, [[:File:Lab Rat P13.jpg|page 13]]</ref> {{Spoiler|He expresses doubts about GLaDOS and the effectiveness of a morality core, remarking 'You can always ignore your conscience'.<ref name="conscience quote">''Portal 2: Lab Rat'' comic, [[:File:Lab Rat P14.jpg|page 14]]</ref> His fears turn out to be justified when she poisons every employee in the facility when she is switched on during 'Bring your daughter to work' day. Prepared for the outcome, he survives the initial attempt to kill him and proceeds to sneak through the facility, avoiding GLaDOS who is actively hunting him. Acting on a 'hunch', he breaks into the test subjects file room and moves [[Chell]] to the top of the test subject order list,<ref name="chell reorder">''Portal 2: Lab Rat'' comic, [[:File:Lab Rat P21.jpg|page 21]]</ref> leading to the events in ''Portal''.}}

{{See also|Portal}}
Delusional, running low on medication and traveling with a talking [[Weighted Companion Cube]], he watches from the shadows as Chell is tested by GLaDOS. Although never seen in ''Portal'', his 'dens' can be found by the player, containing crude bedding, empty cans of beans and scribblings and dioramas on the walls. It is in one of these dens that the words 'The cake is a lie' is found scribbled on a wall, resulting in the well-known meme. {{Spoiler|Following Chell's destruction of GLaDOS at the end of ''Portal'', he follows the sound of the explosion and finds a route to the outside world. His joy is short lived as he witnesses the unconscious Chell being dragged back into the facility by a bot.

Crusher

2011-05-02T17:00:22Z

Comrade Suhov: /* Trivia */ Edited second entry with correct timeline.

{{Quotation|'''Cave Johnson'''|That is not a panel. That's a crusher. We sell those too.}}
[[File:Crusher.png|right|200px|thumb|A Crusher in ''Portal 2''.]]

The '''Crusher''' is a hazard element present in several testing environments, introduced in ''[[Portal 2]]''. A player who makes contact with a crusher will be forced to the nearest hard surface and will be killed instantly. Crushers appear as large grey panels with many large, steel spikes firmly attached.

Crushers become more frequent during the final parts of the game {{spoiler|(particularly in [[Chapter 9]]: "The Part Where He Kills You")}}, and also appear frequently in [[co-op]] mode.

== Function ==
Any object, including the player, will be perforated instantly upon contact with a crusher. When crushing, a loud crunching noise is made to warn the player of its danger, and to indicate to move out of the way quickly.

In co-op mode, if the player comes in contact with a crusher while floating in an [[Excursion Funnel]], the damage caused will be periodic until the player moves away or dies.

== Trivia ==
*Crushers were intended to appear in the original [[Portal]] but were removed at early stages of game development due to complexity they add to test chambers.{{cite}}
*Crushers appear in [[Portal: The Flash Version]], a 2D flash game released prior to Portal. Later they appeared in mod [[Portal: The Flash Version MapPack]] and finally made into official [[Portal: Still Alive]].

Gels

Comrade Suhov: /* Trivia */

{{stub}}
{{Quotation|'''Cave Johnson'''|We haven't entirely nailed down what element it is yet, but I'll tell you this: it's a lively one, and it does NOT like the human skeleton.|sound=Cave_Johnson_fifties_second_test_complete02.wav}}
'''Gels''' are a gameplay implement introduced in ''[[Portal 2]]''. They are paint-like liquids that impart different effects on [[surfaces]] and objects.

== Gels ==
=== Repulsion Gel ===
Repulsion Gel is a light blue substance that repels objects. A player or an object that hits a surface coated with it bounces off. Jumping off such a surface launches the player higher than a normal jump. Objects such as [[Storage Cube]]s and [[Turrets]] can be covered in Repulsion Gel, which causes them to bounce around erratically.

=== Propulsion Gel ===
A bright orange gel that greatly increases object velocity and reduces friction of objects moving on surfaces it is applied to. Objects covered in Propulsion Gel similarly have their friction reduced, causing them to slide around.

=== Conversion Gel ===
Conversion Gel is a portal-conducting white liquid {{spoiler text|made from ground moon rocks}}. It enables the player to place portals on [[surfaces]] that originally are not ''portal conductive''.

=== Water ===
Water washes off other gels from surfaces and objects. It has no special properties towards gameplay and does not stick to surfaces.
