To me."]] And my favorite line of portal 2 is *[[Media:GLaDOS chellgladoswakeup06.wav|"Okay, look: We both said a lot of things that you're going to regret, but I think we can put our differences behind us; for science... you monster."]]

This is the fifty-second level of the game, and takes place within an incomplete [[Aperture Science]] Test Chamber. This level features the [[Excursion Funnel]], and introduces the way in which [[Heavy Duty Super-Colliding Super Button|Buttons]] can be used to change the direction of Funnels. [[Turrets]] are present as an additional hazard in this level.

* [[Turrets]]
* Falling to your death

== Walkthrough ==
{{Spoiler|block=yes|
*Fire a portal at the end of the [[Excursion Funnel]] and the other portal at the end of the [[Turret]]'s targeting laser.
*Wait for a few seconds for the Turret to travel to a bottomless area and then shoot the portal at the panels below the Funnel Receptacle.
*Go stand on the [[Heavy Duty Super-Colliding Super Button|button]] and wait for the [[Frankenturret]] to go through the portal.
*Shoot the same portal on the left of the wall you used to get rid of the Turret. Step off from the button.
*Frankenturret should come within your reach. Pick it up and place it on the button.
*Jump in the Funnel, wait until you are on the opposite side and then exit the Funnel.
*Shoot a portal on the wall next to you to get the Frankenturret off the button.
*Put a portal in front of the exit and go in the Funnel.

Doug Rattmann

[[File:Doug Rattmann.jpg|right|thumb|Doug Rattmann|200px]]
{{Quotation|'''Doug Rattmann'''|Reality is a story the mind tells itself. An artificial structure conjured into being by the calcium ion exchange of a million synaptic firings. A truth so strange it can only be lied into existence. And our mind '''can''' lie. Never doubt it...}}
'''Doug Rattmann''', also 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.

== Biography ==
[[File:Doug Rattmann sane.jpg|thumb|Doug Rattmann as he appears in ''Portal 2: Lab Rat'', prior to the events of ''Portal 2'']]
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''.}}
{{clr}}

== Dens ==
Aside from leaving paintings, murals and messages behind, Doug Rattman also discovered a number hidden rooms in Aperture Science. He adorned these rooms with messages and artwork, and primarily used them as refuges in order to escape GLaDOS' scrutiny. The hidden rooms are present in both Portal and Portal 2, and are known as the '''Ratman's Dens'''. A total of 12 have been discovered, 5 in Portal and 7 in Portal 2.

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. Feeling guilt, as it was his actions that resulted in her being the first test subject, he once again enters the facility and finds Chell has been put in long-term relaxation.<ref name="chell relaxation">''Portal 2: Lab Rat'' comic, [[:File:Lab Rat P15.jpg|page 15]]</ref> He then finds out all the cryo-chambers are offline due to the massive explosion caused by GLaDOS' death. He proceeds to save Chell's life by putting her into indefinitely long sleep, injuring himself in the process when he is shot by a [[Turret]].<ref name="ratmann shot">''Portal 2: Lab Rat'' comic, [[:File:Lab Rat P17.jpg|page 17]]</ref> He then enters a cryo-chamber himself and falls asleep. His fate is unknown.}}

== Trivia ==
* Doug Rattmann was behind the Aperture Image Format, used in the [[Portal ARG]].
* He can be [[Media:Doug_Rattmann_Sp_a2_pull_the_rug_r2.ogg|heard rambling]] in certain locations of his dens in ''Portal 2''.
* His voice also can be heard in [[Portal 2 OST]] during track ''"Ghost of Rattman"''
* His Most famous scrambling is "the cake is a lie" witch became a popular meme.

Turrets

2012-02-07T00:23:45Z

Darkturret:

[[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. Almost all of the space within the turret is devoted to storing ammo.

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.}} Rockets can also shatter glass.
{{Clr}}
===Defective Turret===
{{main|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 have a more humorous and sarcastic dialogue, and 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 emit 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}}

{{spoiler text|
===Prima Donna Turret===
[[File:Portal2 Turret Wife.png|right|100px|The Sentry Turret]]
The '''Prima Donna Turret''' (literally ''First Woman'' in Italian, is the title given to the Lead Singer, the Diva, in an opera) is a bigger, wider turret that is featured at the end of [[Portal 2]] in the turret choir{{spoiler text|, after [[GLaDOS]] lets [[Chell]] to the surface}}.

Apart from the ending, a Prima Donna Turret can also be found in Chapter 3, Test Chamber 11. There is a Prima Donna turret in the elevator at the end prior to the player entering the room. It can also be found below a Ratman den in Chapter 3, Test Chamber 16, where it is observing a turret quartet.}}
{{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.}}

=== Hover Turret ===
[[File:Portal 2 Hover Turret.png|right|100px|The Hover Turret in-game]]
The '''Hover Turret''' is an unused Turret found within the game files of ''[[Portal 2]]''. It emits a laser, similar to the other types of Turrets, that is coloured light-blue and able to burn the player similar to the burn of the [[Thermal Discouragement Beam]], however unlike the Thermal Discouragement Beam it's laser does not provide a barrier for the player's movement, nor does it interact with game mechanics. The Hover Turret can be spawned within ''Portal 2'' via the cheat command <code>ent_create npc_hover_turret</code>.
{{Clr}}

==Appearances==

=== Portal ===

Turrets are introduced to the player in Test Chamber 14. Following this, they continue to appear throughout the remaining levels.

Material Emancipation Grill

2012-02-06T23:59:08Z

Darkturret:

[[File:Emancipation Grid.jpg|right|300px|thumb|The Material Emancipation Grill as it appears in ''Portal 2''.]]

{{Quotation|'''GLaDOS'''|This Aperture Science Material Emancipation Grill will vaporize any unauthorized equipment that passes through it - for instance, the Aperture Science Weighted Storage Cube.|sound=GLaDOS_00_part1_success-3.wav}}
The '''[[Aperture Science]] Material Emancipation Grill''' (also known as '''Emancipation Grills''' or '''fizzlers''',) are shimmering, semi-transparent particle fields that appear in the Aperture Science testing facilities. Emancipation Grills disintegrate any object and blocks any portal that passes through, while allowing the player and the [[Handheld Portal Device]] to pass without issue.

== Function ==

The primary function of the Emancipation Grill is to vaporize any unauthorized equipment that passes through it while allowing test subjects and the [[Handheld Portal Device]] to pass through. When something is vaporized, the object turns black, hovers in mid-air, and disintegrates, emitting small flames and sparks. In ''[[Portal 2]]'', this is accompanied with a loud sound when the object comes in contact with the Grill. The Emancipation Grill will glow brightly in ''Portal 2'' as objects approach it to warn the player that it will vaporize the object once they come into contact. Portals also cannot pass through the Grill.

The Emancipation Grill also causes the Handheld Portal Device to shake, signalling that it has "rebooted", and that any portals that have been placed have now been removed. This functions to give the player a clean slate upon starting a new test. It also prevents players from navigating the Aperture Science testing facilities quickly by using portals.

An unforeseen consequence of repeated use of the Emancipation Grill has shown to emancipate teeth, tooth enamel, crowns, fillings, and ear canals.

== Appearances ==

=== Portal ===
{{See also|Portal}}
In ''Portal'', the Emancipation Grills appear as incandescent particle fields in many different locations.

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

=== Portal 2 ===
{{See also|Portal 2}}
In ''Portal 2'', Emancipation Grills appear more solid in nature compared to ''Portal''. They are light blue in coloring and have a shimmering water-like appearance. In the [[developer commentary]], it was noted that they look this way to appear more "safe" to players, while still showing that there is a barrier to inanimate objects.

High Energy Pellet

[[File:Energy Pellet.png|right|230px|thumb|A High Energy Pellet in ''Portal'']]
{{Quotation|'''GLaDOS'''|While safety is one of many Enrichment Center goals, the Aperture Science High Energy Pellet, seen to the left of the chamber, can and has caused permanent disabilities such as vaporization.|sound=GLaDOS_03_part1_entry-1.wav}}
The '''High Energy Pellet''' is a [[mechanics|puzzle mechanic]] introduced in ''[[Portal]]''. It is a fast moving energy ball, fired by an emitter built into a [[Test Chamber]] surface and usually accompanied by a receptacle that catches it. Players direct the ball into the receptacle in order to activate lifts or devices before it dissipates and explodes. The ball is extremely volatile, and as such instantly vaporizes [[Chell]] on contact. [[Turrets]], however, will be knocked over by it. The High Energy Pellet emitter makes a cameo in Chamber 7 of Portal 2, being lifted out and being replaced by a [[Thermal Discouragement Beam]] emitter.
{{clr}}

==Portal==
The High Energy Pellet was a common puzzle mechanic in Portal, it first appeared in [[Portal Test Chamber 06]] and made recurrent appearances throughout the game. Test Chamber 19 features two versions of the High Energy Pellet, the standard yellow High Energy Pellet as well as a green High Energy Pellet. As the green one does not dissipate and explode, it is sometimes colloquially known as the '''Super High Energy Pellet'''.

==Portal 2==
The High Energy Pellet does not make an appearance in Portal 2; however, it's emitter and receptacle do. These appear in Chamber 7 of Portal 2, which is identical to Test Chamber 06 of Portal (albeit run down and degraded). However, this similarity is removed when [[GLaDOS]] replaces the items with those of the Thermal Discouragement Beam.

== Trivia ==
* The Energy Pellet uses the '''Combine Energy Ball''' model from the ''Half-Life'' series.
* The Pellet "refreshes" every time it passes through linked portals, meaning the player could keep the ball bouncing until they've discovered the solution to the current chamber.
* In One of the test chambers in portal. You use the "Companion Cube" to Sheild you from the energy pellet.

Still Alive (song)

2012-02-06T21:28:16Z

Darkturret:

"'''Still Alive'''" is the song that plays alongside the ending credits of [[Portal]]. {{spoiler text|It is played after the player "kills" [[GLaDOS]] and subsequently causes the destruction of the [[Aperture Science|Enrichment Center]]}}.

{{youtube|VuLktUzq23c|audio=yes}}

== Lyrics ==
{{spoiler text|
This was a triumph. 
I'm making a note here: 
HUGE SUCCESS. 
It's hard to overstate 
My satisfaction. 
Aperture Science 
We do what we must 
Because we can. 
For the good of all of us. 
Except the ones who are dead. 
But there's no sense crying 
Over every mistake. 
You just keep on trying 
Till you run out of cake. 
And the Science gets done. 
And you make a neat gun. 
For the people who are 
Still alive. 
I'm not even angry. 
I'm being so sincere right now. 
Even though you broke my heart. 
And killed me. 
And tore me to pieces. 
And threw every piece into a fire. 
As they burned it hurt because 
I was so happy for you! 
Now these points of data 
Make a beautiful line. 
And we're out of beta. 
We're releasing on time. 
So I'm GLaD. I got burned. 
Think of all the things we learned 
For the people who are 
Still alive. 
Go ahead and leave me. 
I think I prefer to stay inside. 
Maybe you'll find someone else 
To help you. 
Maybe Black Mesa... 
THAT WAS A JOKE, HA HA, FAT CHANCE. 
Anyway this cake is great 
It's so delicious and moist 
Look at me still talking when there's science to do 
When I look out there 
It makes me glad I'm not you 
I've experiments to be run 
There is research to be done 
On the people who are 
Still alive. 
And believe me I am still alive 
I'm doing science and I'm still alive 
I feel FANTASTIC and I'm still alive 
While you're dying I'll be still alive 
And when you're dead I will be still alive 
Still alive 
Still alive.

== Trivia ==
* "''Still Alive''" was also used in [[Wikipedia:Left 4 Dead 2|Left 4 Dead 2]] as an easter egg on a jukebox that can be found in the campaigns "The Parish" and "The Passing".
* A fast version of "Still Alive" can be heard on the radios in Portal
== Composition ==
"''Still Alive''" was written by Jonathan Coulton, who also wrote "''Want You Gone''", and was sung by Ellen McLain, [[Voice actor]] for [[GLaDOS]] and opera singer. {{spoiler text|She also sang "''[[Want You Gone]]''" during the end credits of [[Portal 2]]}}.
