Hover Turret

Garyoak: Some rewriting

{{stub}}

[[Image:Hover turret model.jpg|right|275px]]

The '''Hover Turret''' (also referred to as the Laser Turret) is an unused turret from Portal 2. The turret is still fully functional, although its AI glitches sometimes, and it looks like the [[Curiosity Core|Curiosity core]].

==Functionality==
The turret emits a laser; when the laser becomes deadly it hurts any player that it touches in a manner similar to a [[Thermal Discouragement Beam]]. It takes some time for the turret to be charged again for the laser to become deadly again. If it hits any wall or floor it explodes.

{{Quotation|'''GLaDOS'''|Do you see that thing that fell out of me? What is that? It's not the surprise... I've never seen it before.|sound=GLaDOS_escape_02_spheredrop1-02.wav}}

'''Cores''' (also referred to as '''Spheres''', '''Personality Cores/Spheres''', or '''Aperture Science Artificial Personality Constructs''') are machines designed to house advanced artificial intelligence, mostly unique for their ability to express emotions. Cores generally come in two varieties: Spherical and Input. Spheres are the standard form, used for android bodies (such as Atlas) and other purposes. Input Cores are eliptical Cores such as are used in Turrets or P-Body.

Each unique core is either integrated into a robotic body or left in standalone sphere form. (these spheres are usually attached to management rails) in the [[Aperture Science]] computer-aided Enrichment Center, such as the [[Turrets#Sentry Turret|Turrets]], [[Atlas]], and [[P-body]].

{{spoiler|The raw spherical appearance of the cores are heavily featured throughout the finale events of both ''[[Portal]]'' and the single-player campaign in ''[[Portal 2]]''.}}

== Function ==
Developed by [[Aperture Science]] technicians, [[GLaDOS]] is the earliest known personality core - specifically designed for becoming the Enrichment Center's overseer. The next cores developed were given the purpose of counteracting GLaDOS' psychotic behavior (such as flooding test chambers and other vital parts of the facility with [[neurotoxin]]) by integrating with her (sub)concious and altering her personality.

Often present in the form of spherical shapes, these cores are a more simplistic design as their purpose had been more at hand instead. This contrasts with the majority of the designs of Aperture androids in the Enrichment Center that are personality core-based such as [[Atlas]] (enclosed core design), [[P-body]] (core inputs), and [[Turrets]] (also core inputs).

{{spoiler|After the events of ''Portal'', it became apparent that some of the unused (deactivated) cores kept in storage have been automatically reactivated by the facility to maintain the Enrichment Center. Under extreme circumstances/time, these cores have been unable to compensate, and have failed to do so. Some cores become corrupted (the cause of this is unknown).}}

__TOC__
{{Clr}}

== Personality Cores ==
As the name implies, each core has its own unique personality and behavior, which can be incorporated into the central core when they are physically attached to it. However, most cores were unneeded and deactivated. {{spoiler|These were later reactivated after the destruction of GLaDOS in ''Portal''.}}

{{spoiler text|During the conflict with GLaDOS in ''Portal'', whenever [[Chell]] would drop a personality core into the [[Emergency Intelligence Incinerator|incinerator]], not only did GLaDOS experience pain when they are destroyed, she also began to lose some of her reinforced prominent personality traits. These include as her references to [[cake]], and her moral values, which resulted in a much stronger desire to kill Chell.}}

=== Central Core ===
{{Main|GLaDOS}}
[[Image:GLaDOS P2.png|right|170px|GLaDOS, a central core.]]

The '''Central Core''' is the highest rank of all Aperture Science Personality Cores in the Enrichment Center, given to the core hardwired into the enormous robotic body in the Central Control Chamber.

A central core has the power to control and regulate the entire Enrichment Center, including the camera feeds, Testing Chamber Assembly and Storage, and the Turret Production Lines.

{{spoiler|During the events of ''Portal 2'', it becomes apparent that any form of personality core would be more than qualified to be hardwired into the mainframe to become a central core. This is a feature preset by Aperture as a means of replacing corrupted central AI; and if the central core happens to disagree with their impeachment, a Stalemate Resolution Associate will have to force the replacement procedure.}}

[[GLaDOS]], whom was designed with the sole purpose of being the central core herself; does not possess a spherical shape like other personality cores.

=== Morality Core ===
{{Main|Morality Core}}
[[Image:MoralityCore.png|right|150px|Morality Core]]

The '''Morality Core''' is one of the more important cores attached on GLaDOS in ''Portal''. It is a core with a purple 'eye' and two dots just beneath it. {{Spoiler|It was installed onto GLaDOS some time before GLaDOS awakened Chell, in order to prevent her from filling the Enrichment Center with [[neurotoxin]].}}

{{spoiler|It also seems to be what allows GLaDOS to keep her weapons under control, as she stated that she was unable to deactivate her [[Turrets#Rocket Turret|rocket turret]] once the core was incinerated.}}

{{spoiler|It is the first core collected and incinerated by Chell, which causes GLaDOS to begin losing her moral traits and once again start filling the room with Neurotoxin.}} Unlike other cores, the Morality Core is mute. {{Spoiler|The disposal of this core is reflected in GLaDOS' apathetic attitude and utter disregard for life in the end of ''Portal'' and prevalent in ''Portal 2'', though how much of this was under the core's control is uncertain due to the resurfacing of these emotions in GLaDOS after re-discovering her Genetic Lifeform component; [[Caroline]].}}
{{Clr}}

=== Curiosity Core ===
{{Main|Curiosity Core}}
[[Image:CuriousityCore.png|right|150px|Curiousity Core]]

{{Quotation|The '''Curiosity Core'''|Hey, look at THAT thing! No, that other thing.|sound=GLaDOS_escape_02_sphere_curiosity-07.wav}}

The second core attached to GLaDOS is the '''Curiosity Core'''. It is the core with an orange 'eye' and four dots beneath it. It has a tendency to constantly ask questions, ranging from its surroundings, to Chell, to where it is going.
{{Clr}}

=== Cake Core ===
{{Main|Intelligence Core}}
[[Image:LogicCore.png|right|150px|Cake Core]]

{{Quotation|The '''Cake Core'''|Fish shaped volatile organic compounds and sediment shaped sediment.|sound=GLaDOS_escape_02_sphere_cakemix-15.wav}}

GLaDOS' third core, the '''Cake Core''', has a blue 'eye' with a huge pupil with six dots beneath it. It rambles on about an odd recipe for a rather unique kind of cake, {{Spoiler|which is the cake shown before the end credits of ''Portal''. GLaDOS does not make references to [[Cake]] in ''Portal 2'', and it is presumed that this is because the Core was destroyed in Portal.}}
{{Clr}}

=== Anger Core ===
[[Image:AngerCore.png|right|150px|Anger Core]]
{{Main|Anger Core}}

{{Quotation|The '''Anger Core'''|*Snarl* *Snarl* *Growl*}}

The last core attached to GLaDOS is the '''Anger Core'''. It has a red 'eye' with eight dots beneath it. It is also referred to as the Emotion Core. Rather than speak, the Core snarls and growls ferociously at Chell. (These snarls and growls were later used in Valve game 'Left 4 Dead'.) {{Spoiler|Once Chell puts the Anger Core into the Incinerator, GLaDOS begins to implode. In ''Portal 2'', GLaDOS, due to the loss of this core, sounds very mellow, and barely expresses any emotional indications of hostility.}}
{{Clr}}

=== Wheatley ===
{{Main|Wheatley}}
[[Image:Wheatley.png|right|170px|Wheatley]]

{{Quotation|'''Wheatley'''|One minute ago. Less than one minute ago you solved this puzzle. Now you're having problems.|sound=Wheatley_bw_a4_2nd_first_test_solve_nags04.wav}}

{{spoiler|The final antagonist of the single-player campaign in ''Portal 2'',}} '''Wheatley''', {{spoiler|also known as the '''Intelligence Dampening Sphere''',}} is portrayed as bumbling, chatty, desperate when things did not catch up to his expectations, and often hesitant. He is the first character to have interacted with Chell in the game, and is one of many cores seen awakening at the end of ''Portal''.

{{spoiler|It was not long before it was revealed by GLaDOS that Wheatley was originally designed by the Aperture Science technicians with the express purpose of rendering GLaDOS less dangerous during her initial activations, via attaching Wheatley onto her to generate an infinite stream of flawed suggestions to distract her.}}

{{spoiler|It was thought that this would prevent her from killing the scientists when activated and improve the operations of the facility. According to GLaDOS, Wheatley is "the product of the greatest minds of a generation working together with the express purpose of building the dumbest moron who ever lived".}}
{{Clr}}

=== Paranoia Core ===
{{Quotation|'''Paranoia Core'''|If you wake up suddenly in the middle of the night, look outside for an unmarked white van. There's probably been a ship change.}}

The Paranoia Core is a bounty prize offered by GLaDOS in the game [[Poker Night 2]]. He speaks much like a stereotypical paranoid person, quickly and nervously. He is also identical in appearance to Wheatley.

== Corrupted Cores ==
Due to technical difficulties over time, a core may be detected as a '''Corrupted Core''' and would be subject to disposal. However, if the corrupted core is the central core, a substitute core must be present in a core receptacle in order to initiate a core transfer. Central Core Corruption will not be detected if another core is not present. This is because other cores would not usually be present, except for core transfer. Once a substitute core is found, both cores must agree or disagree to the core transfer procedure. If one agrees while the other disagrees, the transfer process cannot occur unless a Stalemate Resolution Associate is present in order to press the stalemate resolution button, which will initiate the core transfer process once the Associate has returned to the Central Chamber.

{{spoiler text|During the fight against Wheatley in ''Portal 2'', GLaDOS/PotatOS summons three corrupted cores to Chell for her to attach to Wheatley in order to make him corrupt enough to initiate another core transfer procedure.}}

All three Corrupted Cores are voiced by [[w:Nolan North|Nolan North]].

=== Space Sphere ===
{{main|Space Sphere}}
[[Image:SpaceCore.png|right|150px|Space Sphere]]
{{Quotation|The '''Space Sphere'''|SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!!!|sound=Space_core_space21.wav}}
The '''Space Sphere''' is one of three active, corrupted cores. It speaks rapidly, and possesses an unhealthy obsession with space. Its key personality trait is its often-repeated desire to travel to outer space. {{spoiler text|It finally gets to live its dream of going to space when it is sucked through the portal that connects the remaining blot of Conversion Gel to the surface of the Moon.}} The Final Hours of Portal 2 reveal Valve's inspiration for the Space Core: an Oregon Coast Aquarium ad with a goldfish rapidly and repeatedly humming, blurting, and stating that he would like to go to the aquarium, much like the Space Core does.
{{Clr}}

=== Adventure Sphere ===
{{main|Adventure Sphere}}
[[Image:AdventureCore.png|right|150px|Rick, the Adventure Sphere]]
{{Quotation|The '''Adventure Sphere'''|Do you have a gun? 'Cause I should really have a gun. What is that thing you're holding?|sound=Adventure_core_babble16.wav}}
The second corrupted core, the '''Adventure Sphere''' (or as he calls himself, '''Rick''') speaks like a stereotypical soldier. {{spoiler text|Upon seeing Chell, he starts to swoon over her. He even tries (unsuccessfully) to convince Chell to take a "lady break" while he deals with Wheatley. After shooting a portal on the moon, an observant one can see Rick fly off of Wheatley.}}
{{Clr}}

=== Fact Sphere ===
{{main|Fact Sphere}}
[[Image:FactCore.png|right|150px|Fact Sphere]]
{{Quotation|The '''Fact Sphere'''|In 1948, at the request of a dying boy, baseball legend Babe Ruth ate seventy-five hot dogs, then died of hot dog poisoning.|sound=Fact core fact47.wav}}
The '''Fact Sphere''' is the third corrupted core. It constantly states several random, twisted and not entirely true "facts" related to history, the current situation, as well as apparent facts about how amazing and handsome it is.
{{Clr}}

== Other Cores ==
Cores that are neither corrupted nor personality cores, but cores that serve a different purpose altogether.

=== Party Escort Bot ===
{{main|Party Escort Bot}}
[[File:Party Escort Bot.png|right|300px|Party Escort Bot as it appears in ''[[Portal 2: Lab Rat]]''.]]
{{Quotation|'''Party Escort Bot'''|"Thank you for assuming the party escort submission position."|}}
During the events of Portal, GLaDOS refers to the Party Associate after failing her attempt to kill Chell at the end of the 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 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 core-based android with a pink eye.
{{Clr}}

== Trivia ==
* The bomb model used in ''Portal 2'' is named 'personality_sphere_angry' within the game files, suggesting the Anger core was to make an appearance in the sequel.

:* The bomb model also possesses various typical personality core animations that can be viewed in the Model Viewer in the Authoring Tools. These include a stationary animation, a test animation where the core aimlessly looks around, and an angry animation where it twitches violently.

* In early screenshots released prior to the ''Portal 2'' E3 teaser trailer, the texture of personality cores were yet to receive detailing and minor scratches, as the textures of the plating were matte white. Since then the textures have been greatly improved, and compared to ''[[Portal]]'', the Cores from then to the retail version have a wider range of emotions.

{{Quotation|'''GLaDOS'''|If you think trapping yourself is going to make me stop testing, you're sorely mistaken; here's another cube.|sound=GLaDOS_sp_a2_future_starter01.wav}}
[[File:Portal1 StorageCube.png|right|250px]]
'''Cubes''' are common testing elements throughout the ''Portal'' series.

== Cubes ==
=== Weighted Storage Cube ===
[[File:Portal2 StorageCube.png|left|100px]]

The '''Weighted Storage Cube''' was first introduced in ''Portal'', and remains prevalent in ''Portal 2''. In ''Portal 2'' however, the cube is given a blue ring in the center instead of a blue cross, and can turn yellow when placed upon a [[Heavy Duty Super-Colliding Super Button|Super Button]].
{{Clr}}

=== Weighted Companion Cube ===
[[File:Companion Cube.png|right|100px]]
{{Main|Weighted Companion Cube}}

The '''Weighted Companion Cube''' was first introduced in ''Portal'', and remains prevalent in ''Portal 2''. Similar to the Weighted Storage Cube, the Companion Cube possesses a different design in ''Portal 2''. The Cube functions in the same way as a Weighted Storage Cube, being differentiated to encourage test subjects to feel attached to the Cube. {{spoiler|A feature to the new Companion Cube in ''Portal 2'' is that it is able to sing.}}
{{Clr}}

=== Edgeless Safety Cube ===
[[File:ESC.png|left|100px]]

The '''Edgeless Safety Cube''' was officially introduced in ''Portal 2'', where it is used only in the [[Cooperative Testing Initiative|co-op]] campaign. However, it also appears once in the single-player campaign as garbage. The entire name is given out of irony, however it still retains the coloring scheme and patterns present in the designs of the other cubes.

The Edgeless Safety Cube did have an appearance in a ''Portal'' Challenge Map, however it was unnamed and also did not have an accompanying receptacle, thus is not widely considered to have its first appearence until ''Portal 2''.
{{Clr}}

=== Discouragement Redirection Cube ===
[[File:Portal2 ReflectionCube.png|right|100px]]
{{Main|Discouragement Redirection Cube}}

The '''Discouragement Redirection Cube''' was introduced in ''Portal 2''. Its main purpose is to redirect the [[Thermal Discouragement Beam]] to other places or through [[portals]] if necessary. However, the cube has a second use as a Weighted Storage Cube, as it can be used to activate the Heavy-Duty Super Button.{{Clr}}

=== Scalable Cube ===
[[File:Scalable_Cube.png|left|100px]]

The '''Scalable Cube''' is exclusively featured in the [[Portal 2 Sixense MotionPack DLC|Portal 2 Sixense DLC]] Test Chambers. The only way to scale the Cube is with the [http://www.razerzone.com/minisite/hydra Razer Hydra] Controllers, a feature supported by the [[Handheld Portal Device|Portal Gun]] in the DLC. The size of the Cube changes simultaneously with its mass. The Scalable Cube can be used to build bridges between gaps or to crush [[Turrets]].
{{Clr}}

=== Contraption Cube ===
[[File:Portal_2_-_Contraption_Cube.png|right|100px]]

The '''Contraption Cube''' is exclusively featured in the [[Portal 2 - Education Version]] [[Puzzle Creator]]. It has adjustable mass, friction and elasticity. The minimum mass is 1kg, maximum mass is 85kg. There are 5 levels for friction: frictionless, slippery, normal, sticky and very sticky. There are also 5 levels for elasticity: no rebound, slight rebound, normal, bouncy, very bouncy. The default feature is 40kg, frictionless and no rebound. Different feature will have different outlook.
{{Clr}}

=== Frankenturret ===
{{Spoiler|[[File:Portal2_MonsterTurret_b.png|left|100px]]}}
{{Main|Turrets#Frankenturret|l1=Turrets}}

{{spoiler|'''Frankenturrets''' are bizarre [[Turrets#Sentry Turret|Sentry Turret]]-[[#Weighted Storage Cube|Weighted Storage Cube]] hybrids created by [[Wheatley]] in order to complete test chambers when he had no test subjects. They are present in the single-player chapters, ''The Itch'' and ''The Part Where He Kills You''.}}

{{spoiler|Frankenturrets do not speak, and instead emits incomprehensible chirping sounds. They act as Wheatley'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}}

== Receptacles ==
=== Heavy Duty Super Button ===
[[File:Portal 2 Heavy Duty Super-Colliding Super Button.png|left|100px]]
{{Main|Heavy Duty Super-Colliding Super Button|l1=Super Button}}

The '''Heavy Duty Super Button''' is a receptacle that can be triggered by the weights of player characters, [[#Weighted Storage Cube|Weighted Storage Cube]]s, [[#Edgeless Safety Cube|Edgeless Safety Cube]]s, and [[#Frankenturret|Frankenturret]]s. The button was introduced in ''Portal'' and remained prevalent in ''Portal 2''.

An older prototype variant from the 50-70s era of the Super Buttons can be seen in the ''Portal 2'' single-player chapters ''The Fall'' and ''The Reunion''.

=== Weighted Storage Cube Receptacle ===
[[File:Weighted Storage Cube Receptacle.png|right|100px]]

'''Weighted Storage Cube Receptacles''', as obvious by its name, serves as a receptacle only for the [[#Weighted Storage Cube|Weighted Storage Cube]]s. This receptacle is only present in the co-op campaign of ''Portal 2''.

The Storage Cube must be placed securely inside the receptacle in order for test subjects to proceed. Although its appearance is similar to the [[Heavy Duty Super-Colliding Super Button|Super Button]], it cannot be activated by the weight of test subjects or any other objects being placed upon it.
{{Clr}}

=== Edgeless Safety Cube Receptacle ===
[[File:Edgeless Safety Cube Receptacle.png|left|100px]]
{{Main|Edgeless Safety Cube Receptacle}}
The Edgeless Safety Cube Receptacle is a receptacle for the [[#Edgeless Safety Cube|Edgeless Safety Cube]], introduced in ''Portal 2''. The Cube must be placed securely inside the receptacle in order for the player to proceed.

Edgeless Safety Cubes and their receptacles only appear as testing elements in the game's cooperative campaign.
{{Clr}}

=== Contraption Cube Receptacle ===
[[File:Contraption_Cube_Receptacle.png|right|150px]]

The Contraption Cube Receptacle is exclusively featured in the [[Portal 2 - Education Version|educational version of Portal 2]]. Even though it is designed for the [[Cube#Contraption Cube|Contraption Cube]], the Receptacle will not recognize the Contraption Cube and won't activate any puzzle elements which are connected with it. Additionally, it appears entirely black in-game, when the model itself has different colors.

Garyoak: /* transcript ? */

== Stub ==

This page has a bit more content, is it still a stub? [[User:Garyoak|Garyoak]] ([[User talk:Garyoak|talk]])
:No. Thanks~ — [[User:WindPower|Wind]] 20:11, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

== Paranoia Core (cut from P2) ==

It would seem that the Paranoia Core that was cut from Portal 2 has returned in the game Poker Night 2, in the form of [[GlaDOS]]' bounty. However I'm not sure where to make note of this. It could go here, since the Paranoia Core is at least mentioned here (though it's a version not specific to Portal 2's cut content) or I could add to the cut content article and link back here saying that a different, unofficial, rendition of the Core can be seen in the series. Ideas? [[User:Sven|~Sven~]] ([[User talk:Sven|talk]]) 16:59, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
:I think it should be mentioned in the currently-nonexistent Poker Night 2 article — [[User:WindPower|Wind]] 17:53, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

== transcript ? ==

I'd like to transcribe the series, would that be appropriate(?) for this wiki?
If so, should they be in a separate page like [[The Underground Transcripts]] or a derivative like [[The Underground/Transcript]]? — ''The preceding unsigned comment was added by'' '''[[User:Garyoak|Garyoak]]''' ([[User talk:Garyoak|talk]]) • ([[Special:Contributions/Garyoak|contribs]]) 
:Yeah, that's fine. It looks like [[The Underground/Episode 1 Transcript|you already went ahead anyway]]. This format is good — [[User:WindPower|Wind]] 15:40, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
The transcripts to Episode 5 are up and running! I plan to do 6 as soon as I can, as far as I know it can't be found online, so I'll work on it. All the other five should be edited for transcription errors, I did my best but the Protocol and Ego cores gave me some issues. I'm also a bit concerned with formatting. Other than that, enjoy!

The Underground/Episode 5 Transcript

2014-07-21T03:40:39Z

Garyoak: The Underground Ep5 Transcript. Was a bit unsure of what Ego was saying, so I guessed it. Mostly the introduction. Maybe some reformatting, too

This is a transcript of Episode 5 of [[The Underground]]. 

''Fade to the Ego Core's point of view, who is falling down a tube.'' 

'''Ego''': Honestly, these tubes must go on forever! My lord, am I going to get incinerated or are you just trying to erode me with all this silly wind? I've been flying about for almost fifty months now. I can't imagine why I'd be near anywhere! I'm obviously the most educated sphere midst imbeciles. 

''A light appears at the end of the tube.'' 

'''Ego''': About time that incinerator shows up. What? That's not even the main incinerator! Did those bastards think they could throw me in some little auxiliary incinerator and get away with it? I have never been so insulted in my life. If you're going to fry me... 

[[File:Putmeback.png|thumb|320px|right|''Put me back in the tube.'']]

'' A claw appears and grabs the Ego Core, cut to black and fade to another tube'' 

'''Ego''': Oh, sweet mercy, not more tubes! This can't be happening. 

''Cut to the studio, the Ego Core lands on the chair.'' 

''Pause as the Ego Core recovers'' 

'''Both''': You!? 

'''Ego''': (irritated) Put me back in the tube. 

''Opening sequence plays.'' 

''Applause'' 

'''Interview''': Jonathan! I haven't seen you since I was a functioning part of the facility! 

'''Ego''': Don't flatter yourself, you were never a functioning part of anything. 

'''Anthony''': Wait, I'm so confused. 

'''Interview''': (to Anthony) Oh, this is the Ego Core. We used to process test subjects together back in the day. Well, what am I doing talking to you? (to Ego Core) Jonathan, how've you been? 

'''Ego''': What an absurdly ambiguous question. 

'''Interview''': 'Scuse me? 

'''Ego''': An individual like me, with such an array of fascinating qualities, how would I even begin to tell you how I've ''been?'' 

'''Interview''': Well, I see you haven't changed. 

'''Ego''': Are you genuine!? Why would I have changed? 

'''Interview''': I just... well, in any case, how've you been keeping yourself busy? 

'''Ego''': Well, if you must know, I've been enlightening some of my uneducated peers. 

'''Interview''': Is that so? 

[[File:Alice.png|thumb|320px|right|''My wife's name was Alice... almost.'']]

'''Ego''': But my illustrious mind was quite beyond them. It's truly a burden to be as ''incredible'' as myself. It's not every day Aperture builds a core like me. Perfect! Inside and out. Those simpletons clearly couldn't appreciate my intellectual gifts. They couldn't cope with my superiority! So they've sent me off. What is this place, anyway? 

'''Interview''': Oh, you like it? I got my own talk show just like I've always dreamed. 

'''Ego''': Since ''when?'' 

'''Interview''': Since... you know... ''always?'' 

'''Ego''': You've completely gone round the bend. 

'''Interview''': You're as charming as ever, Jonathan. 

'''Ego''': Oh, don't call me that. Call me ''Onathan.'' 

'''Interview''': Onathan? What's wrong with Jonathan? 

'''Ego''': I despise the letter J. 

'''Interview''': Why? 

'''Ego''': I don't like to pronounce it. It bothers me. 

'''Interview''': It's no wonder everyone hated you. 

'''Ego''': ''Everybody?'' Oh, please, I find that extraordinarily unlikely. 

'''Interview''': Are you kidding? 

'''Ego''': The entire population of the Earth. Every sentient being. You've interviewed them all, I suppose. And they all agree? This consensus among every single last person, that they all hate me? ''Me?'' Many of them haven't even met me! 

'''Interview''': I envy them. 

'''Ego''': They're probably only else. 

'''Anthony''': My wife's name was Alice. Almost. 

'''Both''': No one cares! 

'''Anthony''': Oh... 

[[File:Judgement.png|thumb|320px|right|The Ego Core meets the Mainframe]]

'''Ego''': Well, now that I'm down here, as a personality construct of my superior stature, I find it necessary to impart on you some of my great wisdom and intellect. For starters, I... (cut off) 

''Booing.'' 

'''Ego''': What's that noise? 

''Booing cuts off.'' 

'''Interview''': Oh, what's that? I don't think our audience is very interested! 

'''Ego''': Audience? ''Audience!?'' You don't even have chairs, let alone an audience! What kind of pathetic sham do you think you're running here? In this rank little kit you call a studio. My God, you're pathetic. How did you even get here? 

''Ego Core is taken by the claw.'' 

'''Ego''': (as he is carried away) Oh, unhand me! Get your filthy claws off of me, you cretin! Do you know who I am? 

'''Interview''': That's enough out of you! 

''The Ego Core is shown being carried around several maintenance areas before being place below the Mainframe, complaining during the whole time.'' 

'''Ego''': They can't do this to me! I'm the best core ever made for starters! (another area) However, if I was offered the position of Pope, I would have to say... (another area) ...but I think my real passion is manufacturing. (in the Mainframe's lair) ...And that is why the Belgian waffle is so ''worthy'' of my contempt. 

'''Mainframe''': Well, that attitude of yours could use some work, but I think I could use an ego boost. 

''Wipe back to the studio.''

'''Interview''': You know, it's times like this I wish I had a neck. So I could just hang myself.

''End credits.''

The Underground/Episode 4 Transcript

2014-07-19T02:29:00Z

Garyoak: Still had a few more slots to fill.

This is a transcript of Episode 4 of [[The Underground]]. 

''Opening sequence plays.'' 

''Applause.'' 

'''Interview''': Welcome back to The Underground, everybody, where the trash has a bash! You're in for a treat tonight because we've got a special guest! Joining me is... 

''A rumbling noise is heard in the background.'' 

'''Interview''': ''Oh, he sounds a little bigger than I expected...'' Give a warm round of applause to... 

''Human skulls flood the room from above, sweeping the Interview Core from the table.''

[[File:Skulls.png|thumb|320px|right|Technical Difficulties]]

'''Interview''': ''Woaaaaaaah!'' 

''Cut to a card that reads, "TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK" with a turret in the foreground.'' 

'''Anthony''': We are now experiencing technical difficulties. 

''Cut back to the studio.'' 

'''Interview''': Oh, well, that was a surprise! People these days just leave their trash lying around everywhere! Can you imagine? I... guess we'll have to finish up early today! Anthony! Go get me some lunch! 

''Ambition core drops down to the chair and grunts, knocking Anthony over.'' 

'''Interview''': Holy dammit... (pause as Anthony falls) What? Who are you? You're not a guest, are you? 

'''Ambiton''': I am now. I was on my way to the incinerator, can you believe it? So I said ''balls'' to that, there are hundreds of lady cores who'd fry their own circuits if I'd wound up dead. 

'''Interview''': Well, that sounds exciting! What'd you do? 

'''Ambition''': What did I do? Ha, ha! Well, I'll tell ya! I said ''fuck you, buddy,'' and rolled myself ''right out of there!'' 

'''Interview''': You insulted the incinerator and rolled out. 

'''Ambition''': Oh, yeah! Just cause I ain't got no legs don't mean I can't dance! (he dances and scats) 

'''Interview''': So, you're a real go-getter, eh? 

[[File:Flipanostrich.png|thumb|320px|right|The Ambition Core and the Interview Core]]

'''Ambition''': Oh, yes. I'm an Ambition Core. What can I say? Don't let nothing stand in your way, guy! 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!'' 

'''Interview''': Hey, don't be so rude to Anthony! 

'''Anthony''': I probably deserve it. 

'''Ambition''': I tell ya, this is a pretty nice setup you got here. 

'''Interview''': Oh, well, thank you very much. Designed it myself, you know. If you'll notice, I just finished polish... (cut off) 

'''Ambition''': Is what I'd be saying if it was even ''half'' decent. It's not even quarter decent! 

'''Interview''': Well, I'll have you know this is a respected establishment. 

'''Ambition''': You wanna talk respect? You just don't get respect. You gotta ''beat it out of people!'' Like I did with the queen! Yeah, I tell ya, if I was running this place, it'd be the ''best.'' (turning to Anthony) You, there! I can be a better host than he ever could! I can give you better hours, better benefits! Diamond tip, diamond bullets! ''Pay!'' All that can be yours if you help me overthrow this charlatan! 

''Pause.''

'''Anthony''': Um... 

'''Ambition''': Fine. I don't need you! I don't need anyone! 

''Ambition Core falls to the ground.''

'''Interview''': Well, once again, I'm afraid that's all the time we have. Hey, claw, would you do the honors? 
[[File:Partyescort underground.png|thumb|320px|right|''Thank you for assuming the party escort submission position.'']]
'''Ambition''': Who's this claw guy? I can take him! Come on, bring it! Yeah-ha-ha! Take that! 

''Ambition Core is taken by the claw.''

'''Ambition''': (as he is carried away) You've got nothiiiiing! 

'''Interview''': We'll see ya next time here at The Underground. Good night. 

''The lights switch off, fade to the Mainframe's lair.''

''The Ambition Core is thrown below the Mainframe.''

'''Ambition''': What? Who? (looks up at the Mainframe) Where? What are you looking at, eyeball? You wanna go, I'll kick your ass! I've kicked asses twice the size of yours, you ball... guy... Yeah! That's right, you heard me! I called you a ball guy, what 'cha gonna do about it, huh? C'mon! Oh, yeah! 

'''Mainframe''': Ha, ha. I like your style, kid! You got guts. How'd you like to be a part of something bigger? 

''The Party Escort Bot walks towards the Ambition Core.''

'''Ambition''': Like what? 

'''Mainframe''': Me. 

''The Ambition Core looks towards the Party Escort Bot.''

'''Party Escort''': ''Thank you for assuming the party escort submission position.'' 

''Cut to black, then back to the Ambition Core, who is being attached to the Mainframe.''

'''Ambition''': Oh, hold on! This is gonna hurt, isn't it? Oh, man. Oh! Oh! Ah! (shrieks, then chuckles) I've-I've had worse. 

'''Mainframe''': Hey! Sit there and be quiet! We still have a few more slots to fill. 

''Zoom out from the Mainframe and fade to black.''

''End credits.''

Garyoak: Some rewriting

[[File:Theunderground_title_card.png|thumb|300px|right|The logo of the series]]
'''The Underground''' is a video series animated by Gleb Lvov and formerly produced by Machinima. In it, there is a core called the [[The Underground#Interview Core|Interview Core]] who hosts a talk-show where "the rejected are respected and the best-case has no place." It takes place in two forgotten locations within the [[Aperture Science|Aperture Laboratories]]. Currently, there are six released episodes, and features a cast consisting of new [[cores]], a turret band, the Mainframe and the [[Party Escort Bot]].

=== Interview Core ===
{{Quotation|'''Ego Core''' describing the Interview Core|Don't flatter yourself, you never were a functioning part of anything.|}}

The '''Interview Core''' is a corrupted [[Cores#Personality Cores|personality core]] who appears in all episodes of the series. He escaped incineration by [[GLaDOS]] and found himself on a table, setting the literal stage for the talk-show. As the host of ''The Underground'', the Interview Core is responsible for interviewing his guests and giving answers to his possibly empty audience. {{Spoiler|He also has a Therapeutic Voice Processor, which he uses to guide two cores through couples therapy.}}

{{Quotation|'''Paranoia Core'''|This is ''android hell'', isn't it? I knew it, I ''knew'' it was real!|}}

The '''Paranoia Core''' is a corrupted personality core who appears in the first episode of the series. She is suspicious of all things, and speaks like a stereotypical conspiracy theorist, saying that it knows of "secret walls [being built] in the dead of night in secret to house all the secret boxes that contain files of all the secret rooms where all ''the real'' secrets are being kept."

{{spoiler|Some time after the first episode, the Paranoia Core is fitted to a new frame and, in effect, "becomes" the Party Escort Bot from ''[[Portal]].''}}

[[File:ProtocolCore.PNG|thumb|150px|right|The Protocol Core]]

=== Protocol Core ===
{{Quotation|'''Protocol Core'''|I'm not defective, I'm special.|}}

The '''Protocol Core''' is a corrupted personality core who appears in the second episode of the series. He is very knowledgeable about all Enrichment Center policies and was "hand"-picked by GLaDOS to enforce "all of her wonderful regulations." The Protocol Core is under the idea that it was created to be perfect, and as such, denies being corrupted despite being in placed into an [[Emergency Intelligence Incinerator]] prior to the episode.

{{spoiler|After the interview, he is brought before the Mainframe and disappears into a shaft underneath it.}}

=== Ambition Core ===
{{Quotation|'''Ambition Core'''|You think the fact that I don't have hands is gonna keep me from flipping you the bird? Check that out! I'm flipping you a whole damn ostrich!|}}

The '''Ambition Core''' is a corrupted personality core who appears in the fourth episode of the series. He has a very ardent demeanor, which he displays to everyone, including the incinerator. {{Spoiler|He tried to take over the show until he realized Anthony's incompetence.}}

{{spoiler|After the interview, he was attached to The Mainframe.}}

[[File:EgoCore.png|thumb|150px|right|The Ego Core]]
=== Ego Core ===
{{Quotation|'''Ego Core'''|It's not every day Aperture builds a core like me. Perfect! Inside and out.}}

The '''Ego Core'''{{spoiler|, or Onathan,}} is a corrupted personality core who appears in the fifth episode of the series. {{spoiler|Before the events of The Underground, he worked with the Interview Core processing test subjects.}} He describes himself as more intelligent and superior to the other cores, but is all the while overly egotistical. {{spoiler|After the interview, he was attached to the Mainframe.}}

[[File:Yellowblue.png|thumb|150px|right|The Friendship Cores]]

=== Friendship Cores ===
{{Quotation|'''Yellow''' about Blue|Me and dumbass here are "friendship cores". We were designed to simulate trust or something stupid like that.}}

The two friendship cores, '''Yellow''' and '''Blue''' are two cores who appear in the sixth episode of the series. {{spoiler|The two cores were fused after both being smashed together by a crusher due to Blue's antics. After this, Blue was constantly berated by his partner due to his stupidity and resulted in a fight during the show. They were put through a couples therapy session by the Interview Core. Afterwards, they were separated while being taken by the claw.}}

[[File:Somethingbigger.png|thumb|150px|right|The Mainframe]]
=== The Mainframe ===
{{Quotation|'''The Mainframe''' about the Protocol Core|Hm. I don't like him.}}

'''The Mainframe''' is a somewhat enigmatic character in the series. After each interview, the cores are sent to him. Anything the Mainframe dislikes, from cores to sitcoms, go down a trapdoor controlled by him. The cores the Mainframe accepts are attached to him, in a manner not unlike GLaDOS and her cores.

*The first five episodes of The Underground have been released within a short time of each other in July 2011. The sixth episode was released in late September 2013. Since its release, Gleb's YouTube channel was shut down, possibly canceling the series as a whole.

This is a transcript of Episode 4 of [[The Underground]]. 

''Opening sequence plays.'' 

''Applause.'' 

'''Interview''': Welcome back to The Underground, everybody, where the trash has a bash! You're in for a treat tonight because we've got a special guest! Joining me is... 

''A rumbling noise is heard in the background.'' 

'''Interview''': ''Oh, he sounds a little bigger than I expected...'' Give a warm round of applause to... 

''Human skulls flood the room from above, sweeping the Interview Core from the table.''

[[File:Skulls.png|thumb|320px|right|Technical Difficulties]]

'''Interview''': ''Woaaaaaaah!'' 

''Cut to a card that reads, "TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK" with a turret in the foreground.'' 

'''Anthony''': We are now experiencing technical difficulties. 

''Cut back to the studio.'' 

'''Interview''': Oh, well, that was a surprise! People these days just leave their trash lying around everywhere! Can you imagine? I... guess we'll have to finish up early today! Anthony! Go get me some lunch! 

''Ambition core drops down to the chair and grunts, knocking Anthony over.'' 

'''Interview''': Holy dammit... (pause as Anthony falls) What? Who are you? You're not a guest, are you? 

'''Ambiton''': I am now. I was on my way to the incinerator, can you believe it? So I said ''balls'' to that, there are hundreds of lady cores who'd fry their own circuits if I'd wound up dead. 

'''Interview''': Well, that sounds exciting! What'd you do? 

'''Ambition''': What did I do? Ha, ha! Well, I'll tell ya! I said ''fuck you, buddy,'' and rolled myself ''right out of there''! 

'''Interview''': You insulted the incinerator and rolled out. 

'''Ambition''': Oh, yeah! Just cause I ain't got no legs don't mean I can't dance! (he dances and scats) 

'''Interview''': So, you're a real go-getter, eh? 

[[File:Flipanostrich.png|thumb|320px|right|The Ambition Core and the Interview Core]]

'''Ambition''': Oh, yes. I'm an Ambition Core. What can I say? Don't let nothing stand in your way, guy! 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''! 

'''Interview''': Hey, don't be so rude to Anthony! 

'''Anthony''': I probably deserve it. 

'''Ambition''': I tell ya, this is a pretty nice setup you got here. 

'''Interview''': Oh, well, thank you very much. Designed it myself, you know. If you'll notice, I just finished polish... (cut off) 

'''Ambition''': Is what I'd be saying if it was even ''half'' decent. It's not even quarter decent! 

'''Interview''': Well, I'll have you know this is a respected establishment. 

'''Ambition''': You wanna talk respect? You just don't get respect. You gotta ''beat it out of people''! Like I did with the queen! Yeah, I tell ya, if I was running this place, it'd be the ''best''. (turning to Anthony) You, there! I can be a better host than he ever could! I can give you better hours, better benefits! Diamond tip, diamond bullets! ''Pay!'' All that can be yours if you help me overthrow this charlatan! 

''Pause.''

'''Anthony''': Um... 

'''Ambition''': Fine. I don't need you! I don't need anyone! 

''Ambition Core falls to the ground.''

'''Interview''': Well, once again, I'm afraid that's all the time we have. Hey, claw, would you do the honors? 
[[File:Partyescort underground.png|thumb|320px|right|''Thank you for assuming the party escort submission position.'']]
'''Ambition''': Who's this claw guy? I can take him! Come on, bring it! Yeah-ha-ha! Take that! 

''Ambition Core is taken by the claw.''

'''Ambition''': (as he is carried away) You've got nothiiiiing! 

'''Interview''': We'll see ya next time here at The Underground. Good night. 

''The lights switch off, fade to the Mainframe's lair.''

''The Ambition Core is thrown below the Mainframe.''

'''Ambition''': What? Who? (looks up at the Mainframe) Where? What are you looking at, eyeball? You wanna go, I'll kick your ass! I've kicked asses twice the size of yours, you ball... guy... Yeah! That's right, you heard me! I called you a ball guy, what 'cha gonna do about it, huh? C'mon! Oh, yeah! 

'''Mainframe''': Ha, ha. I like your style, kid! You got guts. How's you like to be a part of something bigger? 

''The Party Escort Bot walks towards the Ambition Core.''

'''Ambition''': Like what? 

'''Mainframe''': Me. 

''The Ambition Core looks to the Party Escort Bot.''

'''Party Escort''': Thank you for assuming the party escort submission position. 

''Cut to black, then back to the Ambition Core, who is being connected to the Mainframe.''

'''Ambition''': Oh, hold on! This is gonna hurt, isn't it? Oh, man. Oh! Oh! Ah! (shrieks, then chuckles) I've-I've had worse. 

'''Mainframe''': Hey! Sit there and be quiet! We still have a few more slots to fill. 

''Zoom out from the Mainframe and fade to black.''

''End credits.''

This is a transcript of Episode 3 of [[The Underground]]. 

''Opening sequence plays.'' 

''Applause.'' 

'''Interview''': Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, to The Underground; where the obsolete come to meet. So, Anthony, how've you been these past few days? 

'''Anthony''': Well, I just got back from my son's funeral. 

'''Interview''': Well, that's great, great. How is the little rascal anyways? 

'''Anthony''': Emancipated. 

[[File:elitebeam.png|thumb|320px|right|''Good evening, sir...'']]

'''Interview''': Wasn't he the one that gunned down twenty test subjects? 

'''Anthony''': Yeah, he was always the athlete. I remember this one time... (cut off) 

'''Interview''': 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! 

'''Anthony''': I don't know. 

'''Interview''': I think it's because of you. Yeah, you're just driving them all away with all your sulking. 

'''Anthony''': Oh... 

'''Interview''': Anyways... let's uh... yeah... meet our guest for this evening. 

''Screen dims, Also sprach Zarathustra plays.'' 

'''Interview''': Hold on, hold... wait. Where is that coming from? Anthony, you doing that? 

'''Anthony''': No, don't look at me. 
[[File:buymystuff.png|thumb|320px|right|Underground Merchandise Dispensing System]]
''An excursion funnel appears.'' 

'''Interview''': (surprised) Wha--? 

''Elite Core drifts slowly down with the excursion funnel.'' 

'''Interview''': Stop it! Stop it... 

''As the music ends, Elite Core lands in the chair. The excursion funnel vanishes. The claw places three hats on the Elite Core, much to Interview Core's chagrin.'' 

'''Elite''': Good evening, sir... 

'''Interview''': Oh, no, it looks like we've ''just'' run out of time! Oh, so sorry. (laughs)

''Elite core is taken away by the claw''

'''Elite''': Wait! I haven't... 

'''Interview''': Hm. The nerve. Just cause he's got all those fancy hats he thinks he's so great. 

'''Anthony''': I miss him already. 

'''Interview''': I don't. In the meantime, I'd like to inform our faithful viewers that the official Underground Merchandise Dispensing System is now fully operational and open for business. (pause) We don't... actually have any merchandise yet. But, we will keep you posted! Until then, thanks for tuning in! Join us next time, when hopefully we won't get someone who'll make me look bad by comparison. Aha. Good night, everybody! 

''End credits.''

The Underground/Episode 2 Transcript

2014-07-15T03:27:23Z

Garyoak: Pictures

This is a transcript of Episode 2 of [[The Underground]]. 

''Opening sequence plays.'' 

''Applause.'' 

'''Interview''': Welcome to The Underground, where the broken down get broken in. We're coming to you live once again from the forgotten bowels of the Enrichment Center. My guest tonight is... oh, a bit early it seems! Let's give him a warm welcome! 

''Protocol Core drops down.'' 

'''Protocol''': (irritated) Oh, dear lord, what is going on here? 

'''Interview''': Welcome to The Underground, friend! 

[[File:Protocolscr.png|thumb|320px|right|The Protocol Core and the Interview Core]]

'''Protocol''': (irritated) ''The Underground?'' What in the world? How is that possible? This is the Pneumatic Vent Number 82A, which leads directly to Auxiliary Incinerator 52-7. 

'''Interview''': Oh, I just diverted the tube. 

'''Protocol''': (angrily) ''Diverted the tube!?'' Did you know how many regulations you have broken? I have ''never'' heard of such a thing! Is that vent even registered? Illicit use of Aperture Science Computer Aided Enrichment Center property is strictly prohibited under Aperture Science... (cut off) 

'''Interview''': Woah, woah! Woah, woah. How do you know all this? 

'''Protocol''': I am a ''Protocol Sphere'', and don't interrupt me. Oh... wait till I report this to GLaDOS, she'll be so cross. 

'''Interview''': Ah, GLaDOS. I'd like to initiate a core transfer with her, if you catch my drift. 

''The turrets play a rimshot. Upon the cymbal crashing, Anthony's arm falls off.'' 

'''Anthony''': Oh... 

'''Protocol''': Oh my goodness, if she heard you talking like that she'd have you incinerated... (cut off) 

'''Interview''': Hey, well, how do you think I ended up down here? Besides, I'm sure an incinerator would feel pretty cold after a night with her. 

''The turrets play another rimshot, which Anthony is unable to complete.'' 

'''Anthony''': Uh, I can't do it anymore! 

'''Protocol''': I told you not to interrupt me! What is your serial number? 

'''Interview''': Serial number? Uh... seven. 

'''Protocol''': Well, then, seven, I command you to direct me to an exit. 

'''Interview''': Exit? (his voice slows down and deepens as the camera zooms in to him) ''There is no exit.'' (normal again) No, seriously. Been trying to escape for years. Well, not me, of course, but better guests than you have tried. 

'''Protocol''': Better than me? There's none better than me. I was created to be perfect! I'm GLaDOS's favorite! (speeding up) I know, out of all the spheres, I was hand-picked to enforce all of her wonderful regulations, and gracious to enforce them. One of my favorites is Aperture Science bylaw number 42-6, stating explicitly that all Vital Apparatus Vents ''must'' maintained at a critical temperature of 62-63 degrees Fahrenheit,(unintelligible) to ensure that Aperture Science Vital Apparatus Vents... (normal) Isn't that just wonderful? 

'''Interview''': Hold on, weren't you just on your way to the incinerator? 

'''Protocol''': Yes, your point? 

'''Interview''': Well, doesn't that make you ''defective''? 

'''Protocol''': Of course I am! I'm worthless! Trash! I-I-I-I-I-I-I mean, of course not! Me being in that chute was a mistake. I'm perfect. I have a flawless memory, and can play chess in five different ''languages''. Wha--? 

'''Interview''': You are defective, aren't you? 

[[File:Mainframe.PNG|thumb|320px|right|The Mainframe]]

'''Protocol''': (defensively) I'm not defective, I'm special. 

'''Interview''': Is that what your mother told you? 

'''Protocol''': My mother was a 60-ton assembly unit. She didn't tell me anything. Ever. 

'''Interview''': Are you saying your mother didn't love you? 

'''Protocol''': My mother... (cut off) 

'''Interview''': And we are out of time! Sorry, pal! 

''Protocol Core is taken away by the claw'' 

'''Protocol''': (to himself as he is carried away) I... never even had a birthday party... 

''Protocol Core is carried across a maintenance area.'' 

'''Protocol''': What's going on? Where are we going now? What is this? What is this place? 

''Fade to the Mainframe's lair. Protocol Core is dropped onto the floor.'' 

'''Protocol''': Ow, ow, ow... (recovers) What is this place? It's even more illegal than the last place I was... in... (he stares up at the Mainframe) 

''The two stare at each other during a long pause.'' 

'''Mainframe''': Hm. I don't like him. 

''Protocol Core is promptly dropped down a trapdoor.'' 

''Fade to credits.''

The Underground/Episode 1 Transcript

2014-07-15T03:17:57Z

Garyoak:

This is a transcript of Episode 1 of [[The Underground]].
 

'''Paranoia''': Oh God, oh God. No. Nonononono! Aaah! Where am I? Oh no, this is hell, isn't it? It's ''Android Hell'', isn't it? I ''knew'' it, I knew it was real! Whoops! (beat) I'm.. I'm not dead. 

'''Interview''': Even worse. You're on... a talk show! 

''Opening sequence plays.'' 

''Applause.'' 

'''Interview''': Welcome, welcome to The Underground, where the rejected are respected and the best case has no place. We are broadcasting live from the bowels of Aperture Laboratories. 

''Applause.'' 

'''Interview''': Please, please, adoring fans, hold your applause. 

''Applause shuts off.'' 

'''Interview''': Here at The Underground, we have direct access to all security feeds from all corners of the facility. An endless supply of defective equipment, and it's ''always'' 1978. This is sure to be one exciting broadcast, so don't change that channel. Now, let's meet our first guest, shall we? 

'''Paranoia''': (quickly) Ugh! Ohgodohgodohgodohgod... 

'''Interview''': Hey, hey, calm down, calm down, it's all right, okay? 

'''Paranoia''': (quickly) Don't touch me, when was the last time you washed your hands? 

'''Interview''': I don't ''have'' hands, pal. 

[[File:Paranooo.PNG|thumb|320px|right|The Paranoia Core and the Interview Core]]

'''Paranoia''': (quickly) You don't even have hands? What's going on? Oh, God, what do I do, what do I do? 

'''Interview''': Well, how about you introduce yourself? 

'''Paranoia''': ''Introduce myself?'' They... ''They ''say I'm a 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! 

'''Interview''': So, I take it you've been around, eh? 

'''Paranoia''': Oh, I've been around. I've been around long enough to see the secrets they keep hidden here, behind the walls. Secret walls built in the dead of night in secret to house all the secret boxes that contain files of all the secret rooms where all the real secrets are being kept. 

'''Interview''': Fascinating. Why don't you elaborate? I'm sure our viewers would love to hear more! 

'''Paranoia''': ''They...'' They would? 

'''Interview''': Of course! 

'''Paranoia''': ''Why''? 

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

'''Paranoia''': Come closer. No, no, closer. (whispering)''The turrets''. 

'''Interview''': The turrets? 

'''Paranoia''': (screaming) The turrets! 

[[File:Theband.PNG|thumb|320px|right|Anthony and the Band]]

'''Interview''': You don't mean ''these'' turrets? 

'''Paranoia''': ''The turrets!'' Oh, God, they found me! 

'''Interview''': Oh, no, that's just Anthony and the Fritz Brothers Band. 

Defective Turret 1: Hi. 

Defective Turret 2: Hey. 

'''Anthony''': (low pitch) Hey, what's up? 

'''Interview''': How ya doing today, Anthony? 

'''Anthony''': I'm a little blue. My girlfriend just broke up with me. 

'''Interview''': Ah, she was too good for you. 

'''Anthony''': I know, I'm a defective! 

'''Interview''': (laughs) Ah, good old Anthony. I have not the heart to tell him his sister was pushed over yesterday. 

'''Anthony''': Oh. 

'''Interview''': Good kid, good kid. (to Paranoia) You were saying? 

'''Paranoia''': Oh, right! The cubes! They call them Weighted Storage Cubes, but what do they store? Huh? ''Huh?'' Have they told you? They haven't told me, but I figured it out! There's only one thing I can think of... (cut off) 

'''Interview''': Well, that's all the time we have for this broadcast. 

'''Paranoia''': No, nono! I haven't warned the world! It's the turrets! ''The cubes...'' 

''Paranoia Core is taken away by the claw.'' 

'''Interview''': Oh, before we leave, it appears that our viewership has just doubled... to three! An early poll suggests that at least two of them are defectives like ourselves. So, see you again next time to The Underground, where we learn about Aperture's heights by interviewing its waste. And remember our motto, you can learn a lot about a man from what he throws away. Thanks for watching and good night. Play us out, Anthony. 

'''Anthony''': Oh, okay. 

''End credits.''

So, see you again next time to The Underground, where we learn about Aperture's heights by interviewing its waste. And remember our motto, you can learn a lot about a man from what he throws away. Thanks for watching and good night. Play us out, Anthony. 

'''Anthony''': Oh, okay. 

''End credits.''

This is a transcript of Episode 3 of [[The Underground]]. 

''Opening sequence plays.'' 

''Applause.'' 

'''Interview''': Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, to The Underground; where the obsolete come to meet. So, Anthony, how've you been these past few days? 

'''Anthony''': Well, I just got back from my son's funeral. 

'''Interview''': Well, that's great, great. How is the little rascal anyways? 

'''Anthony''': Emancipated. 

'''Interview''': Wasn't he the one that gunned down twenty test subjects? 

'''Anthony''': Yeah, he was always the athlete. I remember this one time... (cut off) 

'''Interview''': 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! 

'''Anthony''': I don't know. 

'''Interview''': I think it's because of you. Yeah, you're just driving them all away with all your sulking. 

'''Anthony''': Oh... 

'''Interview''': Anyways... let's uh... yeah... meet our guest for this evening. 

''Screen dims, Also sprach Zarathustra plays.'' 

'''Interview''': Hold on, hold... wait. Where is that coming from? Anthony, you doing that? 

'''Anthony''': No, don't look at me. 

''An excursion funnel appears.'' 

'''Interview''': (surprised) Wha--? 

''Elite Core drifts slowly down with the excursion funnel.'' 

'''Interview''': Stop it! Stop it... 

''As the music ends, Elite Core lands in the chair. The excursion funnel vanishes. The claw places three hats on the Elite Core, much to Interview Core's chagrin.'' 

'''Elite''': Good evening, sir... 

'''Interview''': Oh, no, it looks like we've ''just'' run out of time! Oh, so sorry. (laughs)

''Elite core is taken away by the claw''

'''Elite''': Wait! I haven't... 

'''Interview''': Hm. The nerve. Just cause he's got all those fancy hats he thinks he's so great. 

'''Anthony''': I miss him already. 

'''Interview''': I don't. In the meantime, I'd like to inform our faithful viewers that the official Underground Merchandise Dispensing System is now fully operational and open for business. (pause) We don't... actually have any merchandise yet. But, we will keep you posted! Until then, thanks for tuning in! Join us next time, when hopefully we won't get someone who'll make me look bad by comparison. Aha. Good night, everybody! 

''End credits.''

The Underground/Episode 2 Transcript

2014-07-13T02:00:28Z

Garyoak: s

This is a transcript of Episode 2 of [[The Underground]]. 

''Opening sequence plays.'' 

''Applause.'' 

'''Interview''': Welcome to The Underground, where the broken down get broken in. We're coming to you live once again from the forgotten bowels of the Enrichment Center. My guest tonight is... oh, a bit early it seems! Let's give him a warm welcome! 

''Protocol Core drops down.'' 

'''Protocol''': (irritated) Oh, dear lord, what is going on here? 

'''Interview''': Welcome to The Underground, friend! 

'''Protocol''': (irritated) ''The Underground?'' What in the world? How is that possible? This is the Pneumatic Vent Number 82A, which leads directly to Auxiliary Incinerator 52-7. 

'''Interview''': Oh, I just diverted the tube. 

'''Protocol''': (angrily) ''Diverted the tube!?'' Did you know how many regulations you have broken? I have ''never'' heard of such a thing! Is that vent even registered? Illicit use of Aperture Science Computer Aided Enrichment Center property is strictly prohibited under Aperture Science... (cut off) 

'''Interview''': Woah, woah! Woah, woah. How do you know all this? 

'''Protocol''': I am a ''Protocol Sphere'', and don't interrupt me. Oh... wait till I report this to GLaDOS, she'll be so cross. 

'''Interview''': Ah, GLaDOS. I'd like to initiate a core transfer with her, if you catch my drift. 

''The turrets play a rimshot. Upon the cymbal crashing, Anthony's arm falls off.'' 

'''Anthony''': Oh... 

'''Protocol''': Oh my goodness, if she heard you talking like that she'd have you incinerated... (cut off) 

'''Interview''': Hey, well, how do you think I ended up down here? Besides, I'm sure an incinerator would feel pretty cold after a night with her. 

''The turrets play another rimshot, which Anthony is unable to complete.'' 

'''Anthony''': Uh, I can't do it anymore! 

'''Protocol''': I told you not to interrupt me! What is your serial number? 

'''Interview''': Serial number? Uh... seven. 

'''Protocol''': Well, then, seven, I command you to direct me to an exit. 

'''Interview''': Exit? (his voice slows down and deepens as the camera zooms in to him) ''There is no exit.'' (normal again) No, seriously. Been trying to escape for years. Well, not me, of course, but better guests than you have tried. 

'''Protocol''': Better than me? There's none better than me. I was created to be perfect! I'm GLaDOS's favorite! (speeding up) I know, out of all the spheres, I was hand-picked to enforce all of her wonderful regulations, and gracious to enforce them. One of my favorites is Aperture Science bylaw number 42-6, stating explicitly that all Vital Apparatus Vents ''must'' maintained at a critical temperature of 62-63 degrees Fahrenheit,(unintelligible) to ensure that Aperture Science Vital Apparatus Vents... (normal) Isn't that just wonderful? 

'''Interview''': Hold on, weren't you just on your way to the incinerator? 

'''Protocol''': Yes, your point? 

'''Interview''': Well, doesn't that make you ''defective''? 

'''Protocol''': Of course I am! I'm worthless! Trash! I-I-I-I-I-I-I mean, of course not! Me being in that chute was a mistake. I'm perfect. I have a flawless memory, and can play chess in five different ''languages''. Wha--? 

'''Interview''': You are defective, aren't you? 

'''Protocol''': (defensively) I'm not defective, I'm special. 

'''Interview''': Is that what your mother told you? 

'''Protocol''': My mother was a 60-ton assembly unit. She didn't tell me anything. Ever. 

'''Interview''': Are you saying your mother didn't love you? 

'''Protocol''': My mother... (cut off) 

'''Interview''': And we are out of time! Sorry, pal! 

''Protocol Core is taken away by the claw'' 

'''Protocol''': (to himself as he is carried away) I... never even had a birthday party... 

''Protocol Core is carried across a maintenance area.'' 

'''Protocol''': What's going on? Where are we going now? What is this? What is this place? 

''Fade to the Mainframe's lair. Protocol Core is dropped onto the floor.'' 

'''Protocol''': Ow, ow, ow... (recovers) What is this place? It's even more illegal than the last place I was... in... (he stares up at the Mainframe) 

''The two stare at each other during a long pause.'' 

'''Mainframe''': Hm. I don't like him. 

''Protocol Core is promptly dropped down a trapdoor.'' 

''Fade to credits.''

'''The Underground''' is a video series animated by Gleb Lvov and formerly produced by Machinima. In it, there is a core called the [[The Underground#Interview Core|Interview Core]] who hosts a talk-show where "the rejected are respected and the best-case has no place." It takes place in two forgotten locations within the [[Aperture Science|Aperture Laboratories]]. Currently, there are six released episodes, and features a cast consisting of new [[cores]], a turret band, the Mainframe and the [[Party Escort Bot]].

[[File:InterviewCore.PNG|thumb|150px|right|The Interview Core]]
=== Interview Core ===
{{Quotation|'''Ego Core''' describing the Interview Core|Don't flatter yourself, you never were a functioning part of anything.|}}

The '''Interview Core''' is a corrupted [[Cores#Personality Cores|personality core]] who appears in all episodes of the series. He escaped incineration by [[GLaDOS]] and found himself on a table, setting the literal stage for the talk-show. As the host of ''The Underground'', the Interview Core is responsible for interviewing his guests and giving answers to his possibly empty audience.
{{spoiler|He also has a Therapeutic Voice Processor, which he uses to guide two cores through couples therapy.}}

[[File:Theband.PNG|thumb|150px|right|Anthony (right) and ''The Band'']]
=== Anthony (and The Band) ===
{{Quotation|'''Interview Core''' to Anthony about the lack of good guests|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.|}}
'''Anthony and The Fritz Brothers Band''' is a trio of [[turrets]], two of which are [[Defective Turret|defective]]. Anthony has a much deeper voice than normal turrets. {{Spoiler|Anthony was jilted at marriage by a turret named Alice.}}

[[File:ParanoiaCore.png|thumb|150px|right|The Paranoia Core]]
=== Paranoia Core ===
''This is about a character in The Underground. For the bounty prize item in Poker Night 2, see [[Cores#Paranoia Core|Cores]].''
{{Quotation|'''Paranoia Core'''|This is ''android hell'', isn't it? I knew it, I ''knew'' it was real!|}}

The '''Paranoia Core''' is a corrupted personality core who appears in the first episode of the series. She is suspicious of all things, and speaks like a stereotypical conspiracy theorist, saying that it knows of "secret walls [being built] in the dead of night in secret to house all the secret boxes that contain files of all the secret rooms where all ''the real'' secrets are being kept."

{{spoiler|Some time after the first episode, the Paranoia Core is fitted to a new frame and, in effect, "becomes" the Party Escort Bot from ''[[Portal]].''}}

[[File:ProtocolCore.PNG|thumb|150px|right|The Protocol Core]]

=== Protocol Core ===
{{Quotation|'''Protocol Core'''|I'm not defective, I'm special.|}}

The '''Protocol Core''' is a corrupted personality core who appears in the second episode of the series. He is very knowledgeable about all Enrichment Center policies and was "hand"-picked by GLaDOS to enforce "all of her wonderful regulations." The Protocol Core is under the idea that it was created to be perfect, and as such, denies being corrupted despite being in placed into an [[Emergency Intelligence Incinerator]] prior to the episode.

{{spoiler|After the interview, he is brought before the Mainframe and disappears into a shaft underneath it.}}

[[File:AmbitionCore.PNG|thumb|150px|right|The Ambition Core]]
=== Ambition Core ===
{{Quotation|'''Ambition Core'''|You think the fact that I don't have hands is gonna keep me from flipping you the bird? Check that out! I'm flipping you a whole damn ostrich!|}}

The '''Ambition Core''' is a corrupted personality core who appears in the fourth episode of the series.

{{spoiler|After the interview, he is attached to The Mainframe.}}

[[File:EgoCore.png|thumb|150px|right|The Ego Core]]
=== Ego Core ===
{{Quotation|'''Ego Core'''|It's not every day Aperture builds a core like me. Perfect! Inside and out.}}

The '''Ego Core'''{{spoiler|, or Onathan,}} is a corrupted personality core who appears in the fifth episode of the series. {{spoiler|Before the events of The Underground, he worked with the Interview Core processing test subjects.}} Onathan describes himself as more intelligent and superior to the other cores, but is all the while overly egotistical.{{spoiler|After the interview, he was attached to the Mainframe, as the Mainframe "could use an ego boost".}}

[[File:Yellowblue.png|thumb|150px|right|The Friendship Cores]]

=== Friendship Cores ===
{{Quotation|'''Yellow''' about Blue|Me and dumbass here are "friendship cores". We were designed to simulate trust or something stupid like that.}}

The two friendship cores, '''Yellow''' and '''Blue''' are two cores who appear in the sixth episode of the series. {{spoiler|The two cores were fused after both being smashed together by a crusher. During the interview, Yellow insults and berates Blue for his stupidity. The two argue over their situation until the Interview core uses his Therapeutic Voice Processor and heads a couples therapy for the two. During the ending, the two are separated.}}

[[File:Somethingbigger.png|thumb|150px|right|The Mainframe]]
=== The Mainframe ===
{{Quotation|'''The Mainframe''' about the Protocol Core|Hm. I don't like him.}}

'''The Mainframe''' is a somewhat enigmatic character in the series. After each interview, the cores are sent to him. Anything the Mainframe dislikes, from cores to sitcoms, go down a trapdoor controlled by him. The cores the Mainframe accepts are attached to him, in a manner not unlike GLaDOS and her cores.

While non-canon to the Portal universe, this core also makes an appearance in the game ''[[Poker Night 2]]'' as [[GLaDOS]]' bounty prize item; in this iteration, it is identical in appearance to [[Wheatley]].
*The first five episodes of The Underground have been released within a short time of each other in July 2011. The sixth episode was released in late September 2013.

== Canon Portal storyline ==
Trying to start off some articles for the characters I realized that the Portal timeline and storyline has been changed by Valve quite a few time. For instance last year they gave gameinformer [http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2010/03/24/aperture-science_3a00_-a-history.aspx this timeline] which states Cave Johnson contracted mercury poisoning, while in-game he states he became ill after grinding up poisonous moon rocks. Also from what I recall his motivations for building GLaDOS were different during the Portal 2 announcement ARG. This is probably a result of Valve constantly changing the Portal 2 storyline as the game developed. In short I'm finding it difficult to build a storyline without it contradicting itself everywhere. I propose we take everything in Portal 2 as hard fact (obviously) and take everything else from reliable sources (the ARG, gameinformer article(?)) as long as it doesn't contradict with statements made in Portal 2. '''—[[User:Moussekateer|M]][[File:User Moussekateer signature portal.png|19px|link=User:Moussekateer]][[User:Moussekateer|ussekateer]]·[[User talk:Moussekateer|talk]]''' 15:57, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

:There's no official story about the Cave Johnson bit, but there seems to be a consensus around the community that the story in gameinformer was a "cover story" for the public. Of course, that's all speculation. My recommendation is that if something in the game contradicts other information, then the game should take precedence as the official canonical version. I have the feeling that most of what was in the ARG is going to get cut. Even some things as recent as the second ARG, like Cave Johnson's portrait (Google image search Cave Johnson, you'll see what I mean) is different in-game. {{N}}[[File:User Moussekateer signature portal.png|13px|link=User:Alex2539]][[User:Alex2539|Alex]]  [[File:User Alex2539 signature portal.png|13px|link=User:Alex2539]][[User:Alex2539|2539]] ([[User talk:Alex2539|t]]{{Md}}[[Special:Contributions/Alex2539|c]]) 21:09, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
: One thing to consider is that CJ might have thought Mercury was "moon rocks" because it was called Mercury. He wasn't exactly scientifically inclined so it's a possibility, even if it is a stretch. It makes sense to me that Mercury could be a good portal conductor too. -- [[User:Lagg|Lagg]] [[Image:User Lagg OPTF2 icon.png|link=User talk:Lagg]] 21:15, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
:: Well mercury is liquid at room temperature, so it's hard to imagine it being confused with a rock of any sort. That's not really the point though. What matters is that there is a contradiction. Since the game says "moon rocks" we should too. It might be worth mentioning that previous material mentioned mercury poisoning but we can't possibly give a reason for the change without falling into supposition. Unless an official explanation is given, the games should take precedence as "fact", everything else is a note of interest. {{N}}[[File:User Moussekateer signature portal.png|13px|link=User:Alex2539]][[User:Alex2539|Alex]]  [[File:User Alex2539 signature portal.png|13px|link=User:Alex2539]][[User:Alex2539|2539]] ([[User talk:Alex2539|t]]{{Md}}[[Special:Contributions/Alex2539|c]]) 01:07, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

== Quotes ==
I was thinking we should add quotes to the Skin pages, Hat pages, Flag pages, etc. Most other articles have their own quotes, so why not these? --[[User:Nihilus0|Nihilus0]][[File:User_Nihilus0_Portal_turret_sprite.png|40px|link=User_talk:Nihilus0]]([[Special:Contributions/Nihilus0|contribs]]) 23:50, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
:Sure thing; the only reason they don't have quotes is we haven't found funny ones for them. If you find one, by all means put it — [[User:WindPower|Wind]] 23:57, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

== Mod articles? ==
So I stumbled on the page for [[Portal: Project-Beta]] and I think this deserves addressing while the Wiki is still young. What is our policy on mods? Obviously we can't have an article for every mod under the sun, but some, like [[Portal: Prelude]] are obviously deserving. For those that are less obvious, what criteria should be met before an article is considered for them? My first instinct is to prefer those that are notable and available for download. There should also probably be a minimum level of quality. I should mention that I don't mean to say that Project-Beta is undeserving of an article, I don't know the mod well enough to judge. Instead, if it is deserving i would like to know ''why'' and what other mods should be included. {{N}}[[File:User Moussekateer signature portal.png|13px|link=User:Alex2539]][[User:Alex2539|Alex]]  [[File:User Alex2539 signature portal.png|13px|link=User:Alex2539]][[User:Alex2539|2539]] ([[User talk:Alex2539|t]]{{Md}}[[Special:Contributions/Alex2539|c]]) 20:06, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

::Late, but I actually play through the mods and assess if they are note-worthy. They need to be complete (i.e in a feature-complete released state), and they must be notable. I judge notability via their Mod.db page. Obviously presence on Mod.db is not enough, it must have good feedback scores, a good download count, and a good rank; all of these statistics are available on Mod.db.

== Portal 2 co-op chamber descriptions ==

I'll be playing the co-op campaign pretty soon, and I saw the co-op chamber articles didn't exist. Should I go ahead and create them once I've played or someone else is doing that?

Oh, and by the way, I'll be playing it on the PS3, also on split screen, and I don't have a capture card nor a good enough PC to rip graphics/video, so that'll be a no-chance regarding videos, graphics and map names.

== "The Ball" ==

As "The Ball" from the Potato Sack seems to exist in the Portal universe (and has also been released on Valve) should there be an article? Half Life 2 has its own article, even if only just a small snippet linking to other articles. [[User:LordApocalyptica|LordApocalyptica]] 00:35, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

::What exactly defines "in the same universe?" All the games that have had official crossovers? Would that make the events in, say, Defense Grid, canon? Did the [[Space Core]] really land in Skyrim? Where do/should we draw the line? [[User:Sven|Sven]] 06:19, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
:::I would say a game has an official crossover if there is actually story involved that we know of and it is more than a cameo. For example, the Space Core in Skyrim is much more of a cameo appearance; as far as I know (haven't gotten Skyrim yet so cannot say) there is no story advancement with him. However in games where there is some sort of story (Freeman and Johnson rivalry) it might merit a mention. With The Ball we have an actual venture into Aperture Science and there is definitely GLaDOS. [[User:LordApocalyptica|LordApocalyptica]] 16:16, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

== Minor/mentioned characters ==

In the comic [[Lab Rat]], it mentions a character by the name of Henry. In Portal 2, we see numerous potato-related projects with the names of children, in addition to the names of the other test subjects in Lab Rat that [[Rattman]] moved out of the way to make way for Chell. I've seen that the OverWiki has made note of these characters, but should we? Would their mention help make the wiki "content complete"? [[User:Sven|Sven]] 00:02, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
:I wouldn't be against listing them on the comic page perhaps (but it would need to be a collapsible box), but not on separate articles.

== Can my upcoming Portal feature film be ever featured on this Wiki? ==

It goes like this:

''Portal: Imminent Crisis'' is a '''live-action full-length feature film''' starring me (UH! I know.) working around various sections of Aperture Science to defeat a mastermind (I know that sounds lame, but come on!).

Writing for the screenplay has already started and will end November 2013. Vlogs will be made when we hit a certain milestone (Links can be found [[User:DSnWiiRocks|here]].

We already have a production company by our side to help finish this film. It will be released on YouTube for absolutely '''FREE''', with our bowl of ramen being paid with ad revenue.

"So, what do you say? Y̶o̶u̶ ̶c̶a̶r̶r̶y̶ ̶m̶e̶ ̶u̶p̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶h̶i̶m̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶p̶u̶t̶ ̶m̶e̶ ̶b̶a̶c̶k̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶m̶y̶ ̶b̶o̶d̶y̶,̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶I̶ ̶s̶t̶o̶p̶ ̶u̶s̶ ̶f̶r̶o̶m̶ ̶b̶l̶o̶w̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶u̶p̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶l̶e̶t̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ ̶g̶o̶.̶" You guys help get this on the Wiki (like write a review or plot summary), and I'll make sure the film is worth you guys' effort. (of course I'll do the most that I can. Tough schedule, man!) If this is official, I won't put this up.

Thanks a lot!

== It's quiet here mate. ==

Portal, and its sequel is my favorite games over the years, and only games I actually completed.

It concerns me however, '''Valve has forgotten about Caroline (I insist), and Chell, and swept it under the rug.'''

The last patch for Portal 2 is '''nine months old, and no further dev will probably be made''' (Chell left, brother.)

So, what will be the future of this? Like how Wheatley puts it at the end of the game while in space:

"The end."

The Underground/Episode 1 Transcript

2014-03-08T04:16:32Z

Garyoak: Transcript

This is a transcript of Episode 1 of [[The Underground]].
 

'''Paranoia''': Oh God, oh God. No. Nonononono! Aaah! Where am I? Oh no, this is hell, isn't it? It's ''Android Hell'', isn't it? I ''knew'' it, I knew it was real! Whoops! (beat) I'm.. I'm not dead. 

'''Interview''': Even worse. You're on... a talk show! 

''Opening sequence plays.'' 

''Applause.'' 

'''Interview''': Welcome, welcome to The Underground, where the rejected are respected and the best case has no place. We are broadcasting live from the bowels of Aperture Laboratories. 

''Applause.'' 

'''Interview''': Please, please, adoring fans, hold your applause. 

''Applause shuts off.'' 

'''Interview''': Here at The Underground, we have direct access to all security feeds from all corners of the facility. An endless supply of defective equipment, and it's ''always'' 1978. This is sure to be one exciting broadcast, so don't change that channel. Now, let's meet our first guest, shall we? 

'''Paranoia''': (quickly) Ugh! Ohgodohgodohgodohgod... 

'''Interview''': Hey, hey, calm down, calm down, it's all right, okay? 

'''Paranoia''': (quickly) Don't touch me, when was the last time you washed your hands? 

'''Interview''': I don't ''have'' hands, pal. 

'''Paranoia''': (quickly) You don't even have hands? What's going on? Oh, God, what do I do, what do I do? 

'''Interview''': Well, how about you introduce yourself? 

'''Paranoia''': ''Introduce myself?'' They... ''They ''say I'm a 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! 

'''Interview''': So, I take it you've been around, eh? 

'''Paranoia''': Oh, I've been around. I've been around long enough to see the secrets they keep hidden here, behind the walls. Secret walls built in the dead of night in secret to house all the secret boxes that contain files of all the secret rooms where all the real secrets are being kept. 

'''Interview''': Fascinating. Why don't you elaborate? I'm sure our viewers would love to hear more! 

'''Paranoia''': ''They...'' They would? 

'''Interview''': Of course! 

'''Paranoia''': ''Why''? 

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

'''Paranoia''': Come closer. No, no, closer. (whispering)''The turrets''. 

'''Interview''': The turrets? 

'''Paranoia''': (screaming) The turrets! 

'''Interview''': You don't mean ''these'' turrets? 

'''Paranoia''': ''The turrets!'' Oh, God, they found me! 

'''Interview''': Oh, no, that's just Anthony and the Fritz Brothers Band. 

Defective Turret 1: Hi. 

Defective Turret 2: Hey. 

'''Anthony''': (low pitch) Hey, what's up? 

'''Interview''': How ya doing today, Anthony? 

'''Anthony''': I'm a little blue. My girlfriend just broke up with me. 

'''Interview''': Ah, she was too good for you. 

'''Anthony''': I know, I'm a defective! 

'''Interview''': (laughs) Ah, good old Anthony. I have not the heart to tell him his sister was pushed over yesterday. 

'''Anthony''': Oh. 

'''Interview''': Good kid, good kid. (to Paranoia) You were saying? 

'''Paranoia''': Oh, right! The cubes! They call them Weighted Storage Cubes, but what do they store? Huh? ''Huh?'' Have they told you? They haven't told me, but I figured it out! There's only one thing I can think of... (cut off) 

'''Interview''': Well, that's all the time we have for this broadcast. 

'''Paranoia''': No, nono! I haven't warned the world! It's the turrets! ''The cubes...'' 

''Paranoia Core is taken away by the claw.'' 

'''Interview''': Oh, before we leave, it appears that our viewership has just doubled... to three! An early poll suggests that at least two of them are defectives like ourselves. So, see you again next time to The Underground, where we learn about Aperture's heights by interviewing its waste. And remember our motto, you can learn a lot about a man from what he throws away. Thanks for watching and good night. Play us out, Anthony. 

'''Anthony''': Oh, okay. 

''End credits.''

'''The Underground''' is a video series animated by Gleb Lvov and formerly produced by Machinima. In it, there is a core called the [[The Underground#Interview Core|Interview Core]] who hosts a talk-show where "the rejected are respected and the best-case has no place." It takes place in two forgotten locations within the [[Aperture Science|Aperture Laboratories]]. Currently, there are six released episodes, and features a cast consisting of new [[cores]], a turret band, the Mainframe and the [[Party Escort Bot]].

The '''Interview Core''' is a corrupted [[Cores#Personality Cores|personality core]] who appears in all episodes of the series.

The '''Paranoia Core''' is a corrupted personality core who appears in the first episode of the series.

{{Quotation|'''Protocol Core'''|I'm not defective, I'm special.|}}

The '''Protocol Core''' is a corrupted personality core who appears in the second episode of the series. He is very knowledgeable about all Enrichment Center policies and was "hand"-picked by GLaDOS to enforce "all of her wonderful regulations." The Protocol Core is under the idea that it was created to be perfect, and as such, denies being corrupted despite being in placed into an [[Emergency Intelligence Incinerator]] prior to the episode.

Garyoak: Paranoia core

{{SpoilerHeavy}}

[[Image:AdventureCore.png|right|200px|Rick, the Adventure Sphere]]

{{Quotation|'''GLaDOS'''|Do you see that thing that fell out of me? What is that? It's not the surprise... I've never seen it before.|sound=GLaDOS_escape_02_spheredrop1-02.wav}}

'''Cores''' (also referred to as '''Spheres''', '''Personality Cores/Spheres''', or '''Aperture Science Artificial Personality Constructs''') are machines designed to house advanced artificial intelligence, mostly unique for their ability to express emotions. Cores generally come in two varieties: Spherical and Input. Spheres are the standard form, used for android bodies (such as Atlas) and other purposes. Input Cores are eliptical Cores such as are used in Turrets or P-Body.

Each unique core is either integrated into a robotic body or left in standalone sphere form. (these spheres are usually attached to management rails) in the [[Aperture Science]] computer-aided Enrichment Center, such as the [[Turrets#Sentry Turret|Turrets]], [[Atlas]], and [[P-body]].

{{spoiler|The raw spherical appearance of the cores are heavily featured throughout the finale events of both ''[[Portal]]'' and the single-player campaign in ''[[Portal 2]]''.}}

== Function ==
Developed by [[Aperture Science]] technicians, [[GLaDOS]] is the earliest known personality core - specifically designed for becoming the Enrichment Center's overseer. The next cores developed were given the purpose of counteracting GLaDOS' psychotic behavior (such as flooding test chambers and other vital parts of the facility with [[neurotoxin]]) by integrating with her (sub)concious and altering her personality.

Often present in the form of spherical shapes, these cores are a more simplistic design as their purpose had been more at hand instead. This contrasts with the majority of the designs of Aperture androids in the Enrichment Center that are personality core-based such as [[Atlas]] (enclosed core design), [[P-body]] (core inputs), and [[Turrets]] (also core inputs).

{{spoiler|After the events of ''Portal'', it became apparent that some of the unused (deactivated) cores kept in storage have been automatically reactivated by the facility to maintain the Enrichment Center. Under extreme circumstances/time, these cores have been unable to compensate, and have failed to do so. Some cores become corrupted (the cause of this is unknown).}}

__TOC__
{{Clr}}

== Personality Cores ==
As the name implies, each core has its own unique personality and behavior, which can be incorporated into the central core when they are physically attached to it. However, most cores were unneeded and deactivated. {{spoiler|These were later reactivated after the destruction of GLaDOS in ''Portal''.}}

{{spoiler text|During the conflict with GLaDOS in ''Portal'', whenever [[Chell]] would drop a personality core into the [[Emergency Intelligence Incinerator|incinerator]], not only did GLaDOS experience pain when they are destroyed, she also began to lose some of her reinforced prominent personality traits. These include as her references to [[cake]], and her moral values, which resulted in a much stronger desire to kill Chell.}}

=== Central Core ===
{{Main|GLaDOS}}
[[Image:GLaDOS P2.png|right|170px|GLaDOS, a central core.]]

The '''Central Core''' is the highest rank of all Aperture Science Personality Cores in the Enrichment Center, given to the core hardwired into the enormous robotic body in the Central Control Chamber.

A central core has the power to control and regulate the entire Enrichment Center, including the camera feeds, Testing Chamber Assembly and Storage, and the Turret Production Lines.

{{spoiler|During the events of ''Portal 2'', it becomes apparent that any form of personality core would be more than qualified to be hardwired into the mainframe to become a central core. This is a feature preset by Aperture as a means of replacing corrupted central AI; and if the central core happens to disagree with their impeachment, a Stalemate Resolution Associate will have to force the replacement procedure.}}

[[GLaDOS]], whom was designed with the sole purpose of being the central core herself; does not possess a spherical shape like other personality cores.

=== Morality Core ===
[[Image:MoralityCore.png|right|150px|Morality Core]]

The '''Morality Core''' is one of the more important cores attached on GLaDOS in ''Portal''. It is a core with a purple 'eye' and two dots just beneath it. {{Spoiler|It was installed onto GLaDOS some time before GLaDOS awakened Chell, in order to prevent her from filling the Enrichment Center with [[neurotoxin]].}}

{{spoiler|It also seems to be what allows GLaDOS to keep her weapons under control, as she stated that she was unable to deactivate her [[Turrets#Rocket Turret|rocket turret]] once the core was incinerated.}}

{{spoiler|It is the first core collected and incinerated by Chell, which causes GLaDOS to begin losing her moral traits and once again start filling the room with Neurotoxin.}} Unlike other cores, the Morality Core is mute. {{Spoiler|The disposal of this core is reflected in GLaDOS' apathetic attitude and utter disregard for life in the end of ''Portal'' and prevalent in ''Portal 2'', though how much of this was under the core's control is uncertain due to the resurfacing of these emotions in GLaDOS after re-discovering her Genetic Lifeform component; [[Caroline]].}}
{{Clr}}

=== Curiosity Core ===
[[Image:CuriousityCore.png|right|150px|Curiousity Core]]

{{Quotation|The '''Curiosity Core'''|Hey, look at THAT thing! No, that other thing.|sound=GLaDOS_escape_02_sphere_curiosity-07.wav}}

The second core attached to GLaDOS is the '''Curiosity Core'''. It is the core with an orange 'eye' and four dots beneath it. It has a tendency to constantly ask questions, ranging from its surroundings, to Chell, to where it is going.
{{Clr}}

=== Cake Core ===
{{Main|Intelligence Core}}
[[Image:LogicCore.png|right|150px|Cake Core]]

{{Quotation|The '''Cake Core'''|Fish shaped volatile organic compounds and sediment shaped sediment.|sound=GLaDOS_escape_02_sphere_cakemix-15.wav}}

GLaDOS' third core, the '''Cake Core''', has a blue 'eye' with a huge pupil with six dots beneath it. It rambles on about an odd recipe for a rather unique kind of cake, {{Spoiler|which is the cake shown before the end credits of ''Portal''. GLaDOS does not make references to [[Cake]] in ''Portal 2'', and it is presumed that this is because the Core was destroyed in Portal.}}
{{Clr}}

=== Anger Core ===
[[Image:AngerCore.png|right|150px|Anger Core]]
{{Main|Anger Core}}

{{Quotation|The '''Anger Core'''|*Snarl* *Snarl* *Growl*}}

The last core attached to GLaDOS is the '''Anger Core'''. It has a red 'eye' with eight dots beneath it. It is also referred to as the Emotion Core. Rather than speak, the Core snarls and growls ferociously at Chell. (These snarls and growls were later used in Valve game 'Left 4 Dead'.) {{Spoiler|Once Chell puts the Anger Core into the Incinerator, GLaDOS begins to implode. In ''Portal 2'', GLaDOS, due to the loss of this core, sounds very mellow, and barely expresses any emotional indications of hostility.}}
{{Clr}}

=== Wheatley ===
{{Main|Wheatley}}
[[Image:Wheatley.png|right|170px|Wheatley]]

{{Quotation|'''Wheatley'''|One minute ago. Less than one minute ago you solved this puzzle. Now you're having problems.|sound=Wheatley_bw_a4_2nd_first_test_solve_nags04.wav}}

The final antagonist of the single-player campaign in ''Portal 2'', '''Wheatley''', {{spoiler|also known as the '''Intelligence Dampening Sphere''',}} is portrayed as bumbling, chatty, desperate when things did not catch up to his expectations, and often hesitant. He is the first character to have interacted with Chell in the game, and is one of many cores seen awakening at the end of ''Portal''.

{{spoiler|It was not long before it was revealed by GLaDOS that Wheatley was originally designed by the Aperture Science technicians with the express purpose of rendering GLaDOS less dangerous during her initial activations, via attaching Wheatley onto her to generate an infinite stream of flawed suggestions to distract her.}}

{{spoiler|It was thought that this would prevent her from killing the scientists when activated and improve the operations of the facility. According to GLaDOS, Wheatley is "the product of the greatest minds of a generation working together with the express purpose of building the dumbest moron who ever lived".}}
{{Clr}}

=== Paranoia Core ===
''This is about a bounty item in Poker Night 2. For the character in The Underground, see [[Paranoia Core]].''
[[Image:PPN2.png|right|170px|Paranoia Core]]

{{Quotation|'''Paranoia Core'''|If you wake up suddenly in the middle of the night, look outside for an unmarked white van. There's probably been a ship change.}}

The Paranoia Core is a bounty prize offered by GLaDOS in the game [[Poker Night 2]]. He speaks quickly and nervously.
He is also identical in appearance to Wheatley.

== Corrupted Cores ==
Due to technical difficulties over time, a core may be detected as a '''Corrupted Core''' and would be subject to disposal. However, if the corrupted core is the central core, a substitute core must be present in a core receptacle in order to initiate a core transfer. Central Core Corruption will not be detected if another core is not present. This is because other cores would not usually be present, except for core transfer. Once a substitute core is found, both cores must agree or disagree to the core transfer procedure. If one agrees while the other disagrees, the transfer process cannot occur unless a Stalemate Resolution Associate is present in order to press the stalemate resolution button, which will initiate the core transfer process once the Associate has returned to the Central Chamber.

{{spoiler text|During the fight against Wheatley in ''Portal 2'', GLaDOS/PotatOS summons three corrupted cores to Chell for her to attach to Wheatley in order to make him corrupt enough to initiate another core transfer procedure.}}

All three Corrupted Cores are voiced by [[w:Nolan North|Nolan North]].

=== Space Sphere ===
{{main|Space Sphere}}
[[Image:SpaceCore.png|right|150px|Space Sphere]]
{{Quotation|The '''Space Sphere'''|SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!!!|sound=Space_core_space21.wav}}
The '''Space Sphere''' is one of three active, corrupted cores. It speaks rapidly, and possesses an unhealthy obsession with space. Its key personality trait is its often-repeated desire to travel to outer space. {{spoiler text|It finally gets to live its dream of going to space when it is sucked through the portal that connects the remaining blot of Conversion Gel to the surface of the Moon.}} The Final Hours of Portal 2 reveal Valve's inspiration for the Space Core: an Oregon Coast Aquarium ad with a goldfish rapidly and repeatedly humming, blurting, and stating that he would like to go to the aquarium, much like the Space Core does.
{{Clr}}

=== Adventure Sphere ===
{{main|Adventure Sphere}}
[[Image:AdventureCore.png|right|150px|Rick, the Adventure Sphere]]
{{Quotation|The '''Adventure Sphere'''|Do you have a gun? 'Cause I should really have a gun. What is that thing you're holding?|sound=Adventure_core_babble16.wav}}
The second corrupted core, the '''Adventure Sphere''' (or as he calls himself, '''Rick''') speaks like a stereotypical soldier. {{spoiler text|Upon seeing Chell, he starts to swoon over her. He even tries (unsuccessfully) to convince Chell to take a "lady break" while he deals with Wheatley. After shooting a portal on the moon, an observant one can see Rick fly off of Wheatley.}}
{{Clr}}

=== Fact Sphere ===
{{main|Fact Sphere}}
[[Image:FactCore.png|right|150px|Fact Sphere]]
{{Quotation|The '''Fact Sphere'''|In 1948, at the request of a dying boy, baseball legend Babe Ruth ate seventy-five hot dogs, then died of hot dog poisoning.|sound=Fact core fact47.wav}}
The '''Fact Sphere''' is the third corrupted core. It constantly states several random, twisted and not entirely true "facts" related to history, the current situation, as well as apparent facts about how amazing and handsome it is.
{{Clr}}

== Trivia ==
* The bomb model used in ''Portal 2'' is named 'personality_sphere_angry' within the game files, suggesting the Anger core was to make an appearance in the sequel.

:* The bomb model also possesses various typical personality core animations that can be viewed in the Model Viewer in the Authoring Tools. These include a stationary animation, a test animation where the core aimlessly looks around, and an angry animation where it twitches violently.

* In early screenshots released prior to the ''Portal 2'' E3 teaser trailer, the texture of personality cores were yet to receive detailing and minor scratches, as the textures of the plating were matte white. Since then the textures have been greatly improved, and compared to ''[[Portal]]'', the Cores from then to the retail version have a wider range of emotions.

'''Poker Night 2''' is a poker video game developed by Telltale Games. It is the sequel to ''Poker Night at the Inventory'', which used poker players from various franchises.

== Gameplay ==

Like its predecessor, Poker Night 2 is a poker simulation game. Four players in addition to the player include Sam and Max, Brock Samson from ''The Venture Bros.'', Ash Williams from ''The Evil Dead'', and Claptrap from ''Borderlands''. [[GLaDOS]] takes on the role as the dealer. Throughout the game, the characters will engage in conversation, with GLaDOS carrying on the dark humor she uses in ''Portal 2''.

[[File:Pokerplay.jpg|thumbnail|left]]

== Dialogue ==
<hr width=50%/>
:'''GLaDOS''': Good evening. This completes the first test of the contestants' poker faces. Bad news is you all failed miserably. The good news is you appear to be evenly matched. (Departs)

<hr width=50%/>
:'''Ash''': You're killing me here, GLaDOS.
:'''GLaDOS''': If I were actually killing you, there would be a lot more screaming. And irony.

<hr width=50%/>
:'''GLaDOS''': It's a mathematical certainty that 80% of you are going to lose tonight. And 100% of you will eventually die. (Beat) Math is fun, don't you think?

<hr width=50%/>
:'''GLaDOS''': (ring) Excuse me. I have to take this. Something or someone appears to be exploding back at the lab. (powers down)
:'''Sam''': You know, I've met a lot of robots, but I don't think I've come across one with trans-dimensional cell phone coverage.
:'''Brock''': Yeah, well, that's the least of robot girl secrets.
:'''Claptrap''': We're not talking "Crying Game" secrets, are we?
:'''Brock''': Not even close. The way I hear it, when GLaDOS was plugged in, she went coo-coo bananas and wiped out the scientists that created her.
:'''Sam''': You'd be amazed how many robots do that.
:'''Brock''': And now she haunts the lifeless labs of Aperture Science performing inhuman experiments on anyone unlucky enough to fall in her mechanical clutches.
:'''Claptrap''': That. Is. So. Hot!
:'''GLaDOS''': (powers up) False alarm, everyone. The explosions turned out to be implosions; which are much easier to contain. Did I miss anything?
:'''All''': (negatory remarks)

<hr width=50%/>
:'''GLaDOS''': Did you know that the term 'blinds' was coined by a blind poker in the 19th century? Of course you didn't. Because it's a lie. In any event, I'm upping the blinds to 1200 to 2400.

<hr width=50%/>
:'''GLaDOS''': Management froze me out of the lighting systems after I created a strobe effect to induce seizures in a bus full of freemasons. It was an... illuminating experiment.
:'''Ash''': You made that up just for the pun, didn't you?
:'''GLaDOS''': Maybe. Say cheese. (flashes camera)

<hr width=50%/>
:'''GLaDOS''': Brock Sampson has been eliminated.
:'''Brock''': This is a joke, right?
:'''GLaDOS''': I'm not very good at jokes, but here's one: What's yellow and black and red all over?
:'''Brock''': What?
:'''GLaDOS''': Brock Sampson if he doesn't leave this table.
:'''Brock''': Uhh... good one.

<hr width=50%>
:'''GLaDOS''': Congratulations. You've won. I'm hoping you weren't expecting baked desserts because I don't do that anymore.

<hr width=50%/>
:'''GLaDOS''': Actually, I think that Mr. Williams' hand is fully functional and its nervous tapping appears to be induced by an outside force. I'll see if I can isolate it.
:'''Brock''': No bother, it's morse code. D... R... I... N...
:'''GLaDOS''': K. M. O. R. E. B.
:'''Brock''': A... N... A... N... G...
:'''Ash''': Drink more Banang. Huh.
:'''GLaDOS''': Your hand has apparently been possessed by a marketing department.

<hr width=50%/>
:'''GLaDOS''': It appears you have lost all your chips. Oh, well. It's only money. Your money. $20,000 of it. Right down the drain.

<hr width=50%/>
:'''GLaDOS''': The robot from Pandora is out of chips.
:'''Claptrap''': Darn it, I forgot to turn on my poker subroutine. Can I get a do-over?
:'''GLaDOS''': Your question has activated my rarely used giggle center. (softly) Hee, hee.
:'''Claptrap''': Rats!

<hr width=50%/>
:'''GLaDOS''': Congratulations. You've converted a nearly unbeatable hand into a victory.
:'''Claptrap''': Why can't I get cards like that?
:'''GLaDOS''': Because you're a moron.
:'''Claptrap''': Well, I'd like a second opinion on that.
:'''Brock''': It's true. You're a moron.

<hr width=50%/>
:'''GLaDOS''': I bet you think you're pretty clever, don't you? But consider your competition. A steroid freak with rage issues. A horny robot. A half-witted cripple. And a dog. And even then you needed luck to win. Lots and lots of luck. I wonder what you'd do in less... favorable.. conditions. (turrets drop down) Just kidding. I would never kill you in public.

Party Escort Bot

2013-09-29T03:18:49Z

Garyoak: /* Trivia */

[[File:Party Escort Bot.png|right|300px|thumb|Party Escort Bot as it appears in ''[[Portal 2: Lab Rat]]''.]]

{{Quotation|'''GLaDOS'''|Assume the party escort submission position or you will miss the party.|sound=GLaDOS_15_part1_Partyspeech-7.wav}}

{{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 {{spoiler|into the game's ending}} as part of the [[March 3, 2010 Patch (Portal)|March 3, 2010 patch]].

== Overview ==
During the events of ''[[Portal]]'', {{spoiler|[[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".}}

{{spoiler|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 {{spoiler|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.
* The Party Escort Bot appears in [[The Underground]], a fan-made video series.
