[[Wheatley]] plays classical music (J.S. Bach's Little Prelude in C Minor BWV 934) during this chamber to convince [[GLaDOS]] and [[Chell]] that he is not a moron. He also pretends to have just finished reading books, including one by Machiavelli.

This chamber is the only one stolen from [[GLaDOS]] to feature two TV screens instead of one. Both can be smashed by flung objects.

"Ugh, what was that? That was nothing, that was nothing!" - Wheatley

===Test Chambers 07, 08, 09 & 10===
Since [[Wheatley]] moves [[Chell]] closer to his lair, these Test Chambers are unreachable.

===Test Chamber 75===
One of the many test chambers Wheatley had constructed in an attempt to capture Chell and GLaDOS after she had escaped his death trap. When Wheatley figured out where the two are headed, he simply moves this test chamber towards their path, destroying the bridge, leaving the only place to go is to go inside the very chamber.

Upon entering, Chell is greeted by eight Defective Turrets. This was not intended as he had thought the turrets he deployed were the functional ones, but at first he thinks the turrets are killing Chell. When he realizes that Chell was not hit by a single bullet, he begins deploying the regular turrets outside the test chamber.

On the panel with the test chamber number, (numbered '75' for some reason) the normal test icons are all replaced by the same picture of turrets shooting at the little stick person.

This was the last actual test within [[Wheatley]]'s test tracks. The chamber primarily utilizes [[Repulsion Gel]], which are used to rid the [[Turret]]s that were an obstacle to the exit.

If one of the turrets are saved from the gel, it can be used to fire at [[Wheatley]]'s broadcast monitor screens. Destroying this monitor, as well as every other monitor in the stolen tests (for a grand total of 11) earns the player the "Smash TV" achievement.

The first chamber to introduce [[Excursion Funnel]]s, the player needs to use the Funnel to reach a [[Frankenturret]] and direct it onto a [[Heavy-Duty Super-Colliding Super Button|Button]] located on the ceiling. Originally made by [[GLaDOS]], [[Wheatley]] defends the idea he made it by adding the word 'TEST' to the wall with white panels, saying "Not entirely, not entirely. Look at the word 'test', on the wall there. That's brand new."

===Test Chamber 17===
[[Image:Portal 2 Chapter 8 Test Chamber 17.png|left|300px|Test Chamber 17]]
This test serves the purpose of tricking both [[Chell]] and [[GLaDOS]] into a trap without them expecting it to be happening this soon. The two are catapulted into an [[Excursion Funnel]]. [[Wheatley]] explains that he found [[GLaDOS]]' test bots and has decided to eliminate [[Chell]] and test with the robots. A panel then catapults them directly into a huge chamber filled with [[Crusher]]s and a single platform.

GLaDOS, in panic, tells Chell that "This is the part where he kills us."

Wheatley greets them saying, "Hello! This is the part where I kill you."

This is the beginning segment of Chapter 9: The Part Where He Kills You.

Reaching this chapter earns the achievement "The Part Where He Kills You."

If you spawn a sphere or cube using a cheat code and use noclip, you can go through the door and you can discover a pitch black room, just like in GLaDOS' Test Chamber 21.

===Test Chambers 18 & 19===
It is unknown what these two tests are, or even if they exist, as [[Wheatley]] had already planned the trap early by faking the test in Test Chamber 17. However, he hadn't discovered [[Atlas]] and [[P-body]] until before [[Portal 2 Chapter 8 Test Chamber 15|Test Chamber 15]], so it is likely he modified Chamber 17 shortly afterward.

This is the fifty-seventh level of the game and the first part of Chapter 9. The level takes place within an [[Aperture Science]] Test Chamber and the maintenance areas of the facility, and features the [[Aerial Faith Plate]], [[Excursion Funnel]] and [[Conversion Gel]]. [[Crushers]] are present as the primary hazard in this level.

== Hazards ==
* Falling to your death
* [[Crushers]]

== Walkthrough ==
{{Spoiler|block=yes|
*Use the [[Aerial Faith Plate]] and wait until you get on solid ground.
*Fire a portal on the [[Conversion Gel]] and the other one on the wall next to the monitors.
*A drop of Conversion Gel will paint your platform. Shoot either portal under yourself to get to the catwalk. It doesn't matter which, as for instance you use a blue portal above the catwalk and then fire one underneath, the orange one will be moved over.
*Continue walking along the catwalk.
*Stop when you get to the end of the catwalk and shoot a portal on platform below the catwalk.
*Place the other portal on the wall on the right higher above.
*Jump through the portal on the platform.
*Walk along the catwalk.
*Stop when Wheatley uses the [[Crusher]].
*Put a portal on the wall on the left to the catwalk further away.
*Go back a few steps and fire a portal on the wall and go through the portal.
*Run through the [[Emancipation Grill]] on the left.

== Fake escape ==
Near the start of the excursion funnel, there's a girder that looks like a possible escape from Wheatley's clutches. However, not only doesn't it lead to any portalable surface, it doesn't actually exist in the first place: Any object, player included, passes right through it.

==Trivia==
* When portalling the tile in the middle of the conversion gel, the game will always place the opposite colored portal onto the escape route at the same time.

This is the twelfth level of the game, and takes place within a dilapidated Test Chamber. This level introduces the player to multiple [[Thermal Discouragement Beam]]s within a single chamber.

== Hazards ==
*[[Thermal Discouragement Beam]]

== Walkthrough ==
{{Spoiler|block=yes|
*Upon entering the chamber, look up, a [[Discouragement Redirection Cube]] is visible, get to it using portals.
*Grab the cube and jump to the platform in the middle of a chamber. Put the cube on the platform such that it redirects a lower [[Thermal Discouragement Beam]] to the receptacle. Then go back to the original location of the Discouragement Redirection Cube, look up to find another receptacle on the ceiling.
*Place a portal on the wall where the upper Thermal Discouragement Beam makes contact and place another portal under the second receptacle.
*After both beams are redirected to the receptacles the exit doors will open, proceed to the [[Chamberlock]].

1. '''''Exile Vilify''''' - 4:46 by [http://www.americanmary.com/ The National]
{{youtube|QGo8b_frsac|audio=yes}}

== Bugs ==
* If you activate one of the Thermal Discouragement Beam receptacles, then deactivate it and activate the other one (both with portals), [[GLaDOS]] will congratulate you the way she would if you finished the test normally, despite the test wasn't actually completed, as in, you can't go through the [[Chamberlock]].

== Easter Eggs ==
* You can see one of Rat Man's Dens in this chamber. To the right of the exit you can see a broken wall leading to his den. Two of his trademark murals are painted on the walls and there is a radio tucked away in a corner – it’s the only place in the game you’ll hear a song written and composed specifically for Portal 2, The National’s “Exile Vilify.” The lyrics are incorporated into the murals.

== Trivia ==
* There is [[Wheatley]] hidden in this chamber, right under the panels that lift to give you access to one of the lasers. He appears only for a brief moment though.

In the third chamber, [[Chell]] uses a Weighted Pivot Cube and portals to redirect beams to receptacles to open the chamberlock door. A [[Ratmann Dens|Ratmann Den]] can be found in this test chamber, along with an Aperture Science Radio that plays "Exile Vilify". [[Wheatley]] can also be briefly seen after the platform in the center raises up on a rail that runs under the floor.

This is the tenth level of the game, and takes place within a dilapidated Test Chamber. This level introduces the [[Thermal Discouragement Beam]], and the way in which it can be used to activate [[Panels]] and thereby grant access to inaccessible areas. This Chamber corresponds with Test Chamber [[Portal Test Chamber 06|06]] from the original [[Portal]].

Starting the second chapter, [[List of Portal 2 chambers|The Cold Boot]], it is the first chamber [[GLaDOS]] sends [[Chell]] through after her. It is actually [[Portal Test Chamber 06|Test Chamber 06 of GLaDOS' original testing track]], but with the [[Thermal Discouragement Beam]] replacing the [[High Energy Pellet]]. The player uses the beam to activate a [[Victory Lift]] which sends them up to the next testchamber.

===Frankenturret 'Dedicated' Chamber===

Beginning of Chapter 8: The Itch.

The very first "test" designed by [[Wheatley]]. It features several [[Frankenturrets]] and a button they were intended to walk on. They can not actually accomplish this, deactivating if the player orients them in a fashion by which they might actually do it.

After [[Chell]] completes this chamber, [[Wheatley]] appears on the screen. [[GLaDOS]] then tells him a paradox, being careful of not thinking about it. This deactivates all the [[Frankenturrets]] in the room, however [[Wheatley]] doesn't seem to get it and he's unaffected. Wheatley welcomes them, and sends them to test chambers made for humans.

===Self-made Chamber===
[[Image:Portal 2 Chapter 8 Test Chamber 01 (Intro).png|left|300px|Test Chamber 01]]
Numbered "01/01," this is a test made entirely by [[Wheatley]], and the first one intended for humans. It is very simple: a switch must be used to drop a [[Frankenturret]] on a button. Between them is a "deadly moat" that is neither deadly nor a moat, as [[Wheatley]] admits he could not figure out how to fill it with the toxic goo. One notable feature is the word 'TEST' made out of lights on one of the walls. In the developer commentaries, Valve mentions this as a parody of beginning mappers.

If [[Chell]] stands still long enough without solving the test, [[Wheatley]] tries to get [[Chell]] to solve the test. After about 15 seconds, the player earns the achievement "You've Made Your Point."

Instead of making a second test, [[Wheatley]] decides to make [[Chell]] go through this chamber twice. (awarding the player the "Dual Pit Experiment" achievement.) However, being not satisfied with this, he then guides [[Chell]] through chambers made by [[GLaDOS]].

== Trivia ==
*Enrichment Sphere 1 is made out of two enrichment spheres. The first one is dark, most of the props have no textures and puzzles aren't existent, and the second one is the one playable in-game. The player gets teleported from the first one to the second one during the activation of lights. A similar solution is used in [[Portal 2 Chapter 4 Test Chamber 21 (Escape)|Chapter 4, Test Chamber 21]].

==1953: Enrichment Sphere 01==

The elevator leads to a dark Sphere 01. When it stops, the sphere is lit up, revealing a "you are here" sign showing a partial plan of the Enrichment Shaft complex, although it incorrectly shows Test Shaft 09 with 9 spheres instead of 7, possibly unconstructed. Test Subjects were welcomed by that Cave Johnson announcement:

Alright, let's get started. This first test involves something the lab boys call "Repulsion Gel."
You're not part of the control group, by the way. You get the gel. Last poor son of a gun got blue paint. Hahaha. All joking aside, that did happen - broke every bone in his legs. Tragic. But informative. Or so I'm told.

Again, Cave is rather reckless and nonchalant about something grave happening, typical of the cynical writing style of the Portal story arc. Furthermore, The "paint" may be a reference to the concept behind the Mobility Gels, i.e. the paint from Tag: The Power of Paint. In Tag, the blue paint allows its user to walk on walls and ceilings covered by it (which originally also was to be featured in Portal 2).

===Test Chamber 01===

[[Image:Portal 2 Chapter 6 Enrichment Sphere 1.jpeg|left|300px|Test Chamber 01]]

Outside this first Test Chamber can be found a building date, 1953, and a sign stating that "This test is unsolvable without an Aperture Science Portable Quantum Tunneling Device. If you have not received one, please find a test associate before participating in any Shaft 09 Enrichment Activities", with in the center the picture of a Test Subject bearing a huge Handheld Portal Device prototype.

Inside the Test Chamber are introduced early iterations of familiar Aperture technologies, paired with the use of the Repulsion Gel: an early Weighted Storage Cube used with an early 1500 Megawatt Heavy Duty Super-Colliding Super Button and an early Switch, used to release the Cube through an early Vital Apparatus Vent. A short story about the Repulsion Gel is also found on a sign at the entrance of the Test Chamber, near the early iteration of the squared testing element sign, named "Aperture Science Fact Placard 00D45-01R - Repulsion Gel": "Did you know Repulsion Gel was Aperture's first attempt to create a dietetic pudding substitute?", followed by Repulsion Gel in a spoon, then "It's true. The gel is a sweeter, slightly less non-toxic form of fiberglass insulation that causes subsequently-ingested food items to bounce off the lining of a dieter's distended stomach and out his or her mouth! (For various reasons, this product was pulled from shelves.)", the under it, in small letters: "For more information, consult the following Fact Placards: Aperture Science Fact Placard #0012344-22R - 'Repulsion Gel, Lawsuits Concerning' / Aperture Science Fact Placard #0012321-23R - 'Repulsion Gel, Public Outrage Over'" After the test has been performed, the following message is played:

The lab boys just informed me that I should not have mentioned the control group. They're telling me I oughtta stop making these prerecorded messages. That gave me an idea: make more prerecorded messages. I pay the bills here, I can talk about the control group all damn day.

Johnson does not like having people telling him what to do, also referenced for instance in the memos revealed during the Portal ARG, in which Cave complains about the "bean counters".

===Test Chamber 02===

[[Image:Portal 2 enrichment sphere 1b.jpeg|right|300px|Test Chamber 02]]

The next Test Chamber was originally to be reached through several catwalks, but since they have collapsed, [[Chell]] must use her Portal Gun instead to reach the other side. Its construction appears to have started in 1953 and ended in 1956. Before entering, the following message is played:

For this next test, we put nanoparticles in the gel. In layman's terms, that's a billion little gizmos that are gonna travel into your bloodstream and pump experimental genes and RNA molecules and so forth into your tumors.
Now, maybe you don't have any tumors. Well, don't worry. If you sat on a folding chair in the lobby and weren't wearing lead underpants, we took care of that too.

In this Test Chamber, the [[Repulsion Gel]] is said to have been injected with an additive said to cure tumors. It is unknown what "lobby" Cave is referring to, but the Lobby found at the bottom of the Shaft has no folding chairs. The "lead underpants" would also suggest this lobby (or at least its folding chairs) is irradiated.

A more elaborate test is proposed, with an early Unstationary Scaffold used to take hold of a Cube, as well as two walls covered in Repulsion Gel, having Test Subjects to bounce from one to the other to reach another Cube. These two Cubes are to be used on a Super Button, triggering portalable panels, allowing Test Subjects to exit. Outside, the following message is played:

Oh, in case you got covered in that Repulsion Gel, here's some advice the lab boys gave me: DO NOT get covered in the Repulsion Gel.
We haven't entirely nailed down what element it is yet, but I'll tell you this: it's a lively one, and it does NOT like the human skeleton.

It is easy to have Chell covered with the Repulsion Gel, although it has no effect on her health an any point of the game; it is possible these effects have waned over the decades. Then an elevator leads to Sphere 02.

==1950: Repulsion Gel==
The Mobility Gel tested in this level era is the [[Repulsion Gel]].

===1952: Entrance Way, Lobby and Testing Lounge===
The proper way to reach that part (i.e. the Test Subject way) is by arriving from the Main Lift from the surface. It will lead to the reception area (Sublevel 193), which is made of the Entrance Way, the Lobby and the Testing Lounge.

Chell however arrives directly into the shaft itself from the Abandonment Hatch (which is restricted to employees), where she can see the first two Enrichment Spheres, a sign warning not to fall into a lake of toxic waste filled with six small spheres and a destroyed "Aperture Science Innovators" metal logo that fell from above, and the building date, 1952, on a wall. While Chell proceeds, cables and debris detach from Sphere 01 amid a shower of sparks and accompanied by shaking. A catwalk then leads to another level, where three doors leading to contaminated and vitrified areas are found. The first one, breached by the collapsed ceiling, is an employee door leading to the Test Subject reception area, with breaker 135B that provides power to the latter (it bears the alphanumeric "B-09/S", used many times in the level). The second door leads to Test Chambers 1 to 200. It has a notice stating the experiment was discontinued, with the image of an Enrichment Sphere filled with cement, suggesting other spheres (maybe smaller like the ones in the water) could be located there, and that Aperture must have been running an incredible amount of other unknown experiments. The third door shows the existence of 8 other Test Shafts, as it leads to an underground train network linking them together. Near the door is also a notice with an Enrichment Sphere filled with cement, placed there for unknown reasons.

=====Entrance Way=====

Back to the reception area, the Main Lift shaft is empty and condemned, and the elevator, located several hundreds of meters above, is out of order until a undetermined date. Back then in the 1950s, Test Subjects leaving the Main Lift would reach the Entrance Way and meet a sign with on it "Aperture Science Innovators" and "Welcome to the future of tomorrow!" above, with a mountain skyline as a background, as well as a faded blue metal Aperture Science Innovators logo, the same as the one that fell into the shaft's bottom. A catwalk through the Entrance Way, carved into the rock, would lead to the Lobby and Testing Lounge. Aperture CEO Cave Johnson would greet Test Subjects with great enthusiasm, joined with his assistant Caroline, in the following prerecorded announcement, accompanied with an early rendition of the music heard in the Aperture Investment Opportunity videos and the television in Chell's chamber in the Extended Relaxation Center:

- Cave: Welcome, gentlemen, to Aperture Science. Astronauts, war heroes, Olympians - you're here because we want the best, and you are it. So: Who is ready to make some science?
- Caroline: I am!
- Cave: Ha ha! Now, you already met one another on the limo ride over, so let me introduce myself: I'm Cave Johnson. I own the place. That eager voice you heard is the lovely Caroline, my assistant. Rest assured, she has transferred your honorarium to the charitable organization of your choice. Isn't that right, Caroline?
- Caroline: Yes sir, Mr. Johnson!
- Cave: She's the backbone of this facility. Pretty as a postcard, too. Sorry, fellas. She's married. To science.

Cave sounds very enthusiastic and eager, and has Caroline at his side. Back then, Aperture was using high profile and trained Test Subjects such as astronauts, war heroes, and Olympians, driven to the facility in a limousine, and whose honorariums was transferred to the charitable organization of their choice.

When Chell visits the place, the catwalk leading to the Lobby has been destroyed, and she must portal herself through the gap by using momentum and going through the Aperture Science Innovators sign, after the nuclear logo in its center detaches itself and falls to the ground.

=====Lobby=====

Upon reaching the lobby, Test Subjects would be greeted by this message:

There's a thousand tests performed every day here in our Enrichment Spheres. I can't personally oversee every one of them, so these prerecorded messages'll cover any questions you might have, and respond to any incidents that may occur in the course of your science adventure. Your test assignment will vary, depending on the manner in which you have bent the world to your will.
Those of you helping us test the Repulsion Gel today, just follow the blue line on the floor. Those of you who volunteered to be injected with praying mantis DNA, I've got some good news and some bad news. Bad news is we're postponing those tests indefinitely. Good news is we've got a much better test for you: fighting an army of Mantis Men. Pick up a rifle and follow the yellow line. You'll know when the test starts.

The message suggests a very brisk and busy era for Aperture, with a thousand tests performed every day in the Enrichment Spheres. Test Subjects would test the newly created Repulsion Gel, but also be injected mantis DNA, turning them into Mantis Men (postponed for some reason), which would also be fought by other Test Subjects as part of another test. The message asks Test Subjects sent to fighting Mantis Men to pick up a rifle and follow a yellow line, but it cannot be found anywhere, the only path being to Enrichment Sphere 01 or three unrelated Test Chambers.

The Lobby is a room with black marble and a maroon carpet on the floor, and wooden panes on the walls. Four lamps with spherical lampshades hang from the ceiling. A sign asks Test Subjects to go to the small desk nearby and sign in with the receptionist before proceeding to the Lounge. Next to the Lobby is an elongated operator room filled with several desks equipped with typewriters and phones, probably used for registering candidates.

=====Testing Lounge=====

The Testing Lounge is accessed through a folded red curtain. Its floor is fully covered with maroon carpet, and it is filled with large conformable beige armchairs, as well as several ashtrays. It also has six spherical lamps on the ceiling. Of note is the large portrait of a young and brisk Cave Johnson placed between two cases. One of the cases has been broken and emptied; the other is filled with many items giving information about Aperture's background and evolution: four trophies, including the Spirit of Idaho 1955 award for the promotion of Potato Science, by the National Potato Board; the Shower Curtain Salesman of 1943 award for Aperture Fixtures; and two "Contractor of the Year - Runner Up" awards from the US Department of Defense, dated 1952 and 1954 (an unseen 1953 award can also be found in the game files). The case also includes the main page of the newspaper The Up Pioneer Press, dated from a Thursday of January 1944, showing that Johnson purchased salt mines in Upper Michigan, where and above which the Aperture Science Enrichment Center will eventually be built, retconning the facility's location from Cleveland to Michigan.[4] Under a picture of the mine, Johnson is quoted "The Future is Here, and it's Under the Earth's Crust". Finally, four framed awards can be seen: the Best New Science Company award 1947 given to Aperture Science by the Science and Business Institute of America; another Spirit of Idaho award by the National Potato Board Award for the promotion of Potato Science, undated; the Shower Curtain Salesman of 1943 award given to Cave Johnson for Aperture Fixtures; and finally an award for rank #2 for Aperture Science in the Top 100 Applied Science Companies 1949.

After leaving the Testing Lounge to the shaft proper, Test Subjects would go to an elevator operated by an attendant. Upstairs, a catwalk, now collapsed, would lead either to the small elevator going inside Enrichment Sphere 01, Pump Station Alpha, or three condemned Test Chambers, two vitrified (one of which filled with cement), the other apparently not condemned, but inaccessible regardless. Near each door leading to these chambers is an interphone, which when powered will give the following prerecorded messages by Johnson about what tests they involve:

- If you've cut yourself at all in the course of these tests, you might have noticed that your blood is pure gasoline. That's normal. We've been shooting you with an invisible laser that's supposed to turn blood into gasoline, so all that means is, it's working.
- If you need to go to the bathroom after this next series of tests, please let a test associate know, because in all likelihood, whatever comes out of you is going to be coal. Only temporary, so do not worry. If it persists for a week, though, start worrying and come see us, because that's not supposed to happen.
- Just a heads up: We're gonna have a superconductor turned up full blast and pointed at you for the duration of this next test. I'll be honest, we're throwing science at the wall here to see what sticks. No idea what it'll do. Probably nothing. Best-case scenario, you might get some superpowers. Worst case, some tumors, which we'll cut out.

These tests suggest strong recklessness from Aperture, suggesting the team doesn't really know what they are doing and instead is randomly testing.

=====Pump Station Alpha=====
The first of the three Mobility Gel Pump Stations found in Test Shaft 09, probably also built in 1952, is used to pump Repulsion Gel. It is activated from a switch on a console in a booth located at the lowest level, with a screen showing the six spheres used in Test Shaft 09. The booth contains three motivational posters: "Know your... Allergens" ("pollen", "animal dander", "plastics", "anti-matter"), "Know your... Hazardous Materials" ("Don't touch anything unfamiliar"), and "Know your... Chemical Hazards" ("Do not inhale fumes - no matter how good they smell"). Above on a catwalk leading back to the shaft can be found a safety poster saying "Together we can make 1956 the lowest unexpected casualty annum ever!".

After powering back Pump Station Alpha, Chell portals herself near the small elevator leading to Enrichment Sphere 01 to begin her introduction to Aperture's Mobility Gels. At the entrance of the elevator is introduced an early iteration of the Material Emancipation Grill, the first of several early iterations of familiar Aperture technology that can be found in the shaft.

Before entering the elevator, Test Subjects would hear the following overenthusiastic message:

They say great science is built on the shoulders of giants. Not here. At Aperture, we do all our science from scratch. No hand holding.

This references the metaphor "Standing on the shoulders of giants", meaning "One who develops future intellectual pursuits by understanding the research and works created by notable thinkers of the past".

==1950: Repulsion Gel==
The Mobility Gel tested in this level era is the [[Repulsion Gel]].

===1952: Entrance Way, Lobby and Testing Lounge===
The proper way to reach that part (i.e. the Test Subject way) is by arriving from the Main Lift from the surface. It will lead to the reception area (Sublevel 193), which is made of the Entrance Way, the Lobby and the Testing Lounge.

Chell however arrives directly into the shaft itself from the Abandonment Hatch (which is restricted to employees), where she can see the first two Enrichment Spheres, a sign warning not to fall into a lake of toxic waste filled with six small spheres and a destroyed "Aperture Science Innovators" metal logo that fell from above, and the building date, 1952, on a wall. While Chell proceeds, cables and debris detach from Sphere 01 amid a shower of sparks and accompanied by shaking. A catwalk then leads to another level, where three doors leading to contaminated and vitrified areas are found. The first one, breached by the collapsed ceiling, is an employee door leading to the Test Subject reception area, with breaker 135B that provides power to the latter (it bears the alphanumeric "B-09/S", used many times in the level). The second door leads to Test Chambers 1 to 200. It has a notice stating the experiment was discontinued, with the image of an Enrichment Sphere filled with cement, suggesting other spheres (maybe smaller like the ones in the water) could be located there, and that Aperture must have been running an incredible amount of other unknown experiments. The third door shows the existence of 8 other Test Shafts, as it leads to an underground train network linking them together. Near the door is also a notice with an Enrichment Sphere filled with cement, placed there for unknown reasons.

====Entrance Way====

Back to the reception area, the Main Lift shaft is empty and condemned, and the elevator, located several hundreds of meters above, is out of order until a undetermined date. Back then in the 1950s, Test Subjects leaving the Main Lift would reach the Entrance Way and meet a sign with on it "Aperture Science Innovators" and "Welcome to the future of tomorrow!" above, with a mountain skyline as a background, as well as a faded blue metal Aperture Science Innovators logo, the same as the one that fell into the shaft's bottom. A catwalk through the Entrance Way, carved into the rock, would lead to the Lobby and Testing Lounge. Aperture CEO Cave Johnson would greet Test Subjects with great enthusiasm, joined with his assistant Caroline, in the following prerecorded announcement, accompanied with an early rendition of the music heard in the Aperture Investment Opportunity videos and the television in Chell's chamber in the Extended Relaxation Center:

- Cave: Welcome, gentlemen, to Aperture Science. Astronauts, war heroes, Olympians - you're here because we want the best, and you are it. So: Who is ready to make some science?
- Caroline: I am!
- Cave: Ha ha! Now, you already met one another on the limo ride over, so let me introduce myself: I'm Cave Johnson. I own the place. That eager voice you heard is the lovely Caroline, my assistant. Rest assured, she has transferred your honorarium to the charitable organization of your choice. Isn't that right, Caroline?
- Caroline: Yes sir, Mr. Johnson!
- Cave: She's the backbone of this facility. Pretty as a postcard, too. Sorry, fellas. She's married. To science.

Cave sounds very enthusiastic and eager, and has Caroline at his side. Back then, Aperture was using high profile and trained Test Subjects such as astronauts, war heroes, and Olympians, driven to the facility in a limousine, and whose honorariums was transferred to the charitable organization of their choice.

When Chell visits the place, the catwalk leading to the Lobby has been destroyed, and she must portal herself through the gap by using momentum and going through the Aperture Science Innovators sign, after the nuclear logo in its center detaches itself and falls to the ground.

=====Lobby=====

Upon reaching the lobby, Test Subjects would be greeted by this message:

There's a thousand tests performed every day here in our Enrichment Spheres. I can't personally oversee every one of them, so these prerecorded messages'll cover any questions you might have, and respond to any incidents that may occur in the course of your science adventure. Your test assignment will vary, depending on the manner in which you have bent the world to your will.
Those of you helping us test the Repulsion Gel today, just follow the blue line on the floor. Those of you who volunteered to be injected with praying mantis DNA, I've got some good news and some bad news. Bad news is we're postponing those tests indefinitely. Good news is we've got a much better test for you: fighting an army of Mantis Men. Pick up a rifle and follow the yellow line. You'll know when the test starts.

The message suggests a very brisk and busy era for Aperture, with a thousand tests performed every day in the Enrichment Spheres. Test Subjects would test the newly created Repulsion Gel, but also be injected mantis DNA, turning them into Mantis Men (postponed for some reason), which would also be fought by other Test Subjects as part of another test. The message asks Test Subjects sent to fighting Mantis Men to pick up a rifle and follow a yellow line, but it cannot be found anywhere, the only path being to Enrichment Sphere 01 or three unrelated Test Chambers.

The Lobby is a room with black marble and a maroon carpet on the floor, and wooden panes on the walls. Four lamps with spherical lampshades hang from the ceiling. A sign asks Test Subjects to go to the small desk nearby and sign in with the receptionist before proceeding to the Lounge. Next to the Lobby is an elongated operator room filled with several desks equipped with typewriters and phones, probably used for registering candidates.

=====Testing Lounge=====

The Testing Lounge is accessed through a folded red curtain. Its floor is fully covered with maroon carpet, and it is filled with large conformable beige armchairs, as well as several ashtrays. It also has six spherical lamps on the ceiling. Of note is the large portrait of a young and brisk Cave Johnson placed between two cases. One of the cases has been broken and emptied; the other is filled with many items giving information about Aperture's background and evolution: four trophies, including the Spirit of Idaho 1955 award for the promotion of Potato Science, by the National Potato Board; the Shower Curtain Salesman of 1943 award for Aperture Fixtures; and two "Contractor of the Year - Runner Up" awards from the US Department of Defense, dated 1952 and 1954 (an unseen 1953 award can also be found in the game files).

After leaving the Testing Lounge to the shaft proper, Test Subjects would go to an elevator operated by an attendant. Upstairs, a catwalk, now collapsed, would lead either to the small elevator going inside Enrichment Sphere 01, Pump Station Alpha, or three condemned Test Chambers, two vitrified (one of which filled with cement), the other apparently not condemned, but inaccessible regardless. Near each door leading to these chambers is an interphone, which when powered will give the following prerecorded messages by Johnson about what tests they involve:

- If you've cut yourself at all in the course of these tests, you might have noticed that your blood is pure gasoline. That's normal. We've been shooting you with an invisible laser that's supposed to turn blood into gasoline, so all that means is, it's working.
- If you need to go to the bathroom after this next series of tests, please let a test associate know, because in all likelihood, whatever comes out of you is going to be coal.

I'll be honest, we're throwing science at the wall here to see what sticks. No idea what it'll do. Probably nothing. Best-case scenario, you might get some superpowers. Worst case, some tumors, which we'll cut out.

These tests suggest strong recklessness from Aperture, suggesting the team doesn't really know what they are doing and instead is randomly testing.

=====Pump Station Alpha=====
The first of the three Mobility Gel Pump Stations found in Test Shaft 09, probably also built in 1952, is used to pump Repulsion Gel. It is activated from a switch on a console in a booth located at the lowest level, with a screen showing the six spheres used in Test Shaft 09. The booth contains three motivational posters: "Know your... Allergens" ("pollen", "animal dander", "plastics", "anti-matter"), "Know your...

[[Image:Portal 2 Chapter 4 Test Chamber 21.png|right|300px|Chamber 21]]

Involves Hard Light Bridges. Midway through the test, Wheatley turns off the lights and reveals himself. He tries talking in a bad American accent, thinking it is beyond GLaDOS' range of hearing, but realizes that is false and just breaks out of the chamber with Chell.

If you use a cheat code to spawn a sphere (a testing element cut out of the single player game) or cube on the button, the door will open, but the lights won't go out. Then use the bridge to go through the door, and then you'll find yourself in a pitch black room.

Additionally, if the player does NOT escape with Wheatley immediately, GLaDOS activates neurotoxin emitters in this chamber in an attempt to kill you. The neurotoxin is out of range as soon as the player leaves the chamber, however, since it closes itself.

As Wheatley and Chell make their way across the catwalks, Wheatley reveals the next part of his escape plan. They will take out the turret and neurotoxin production plants, then make their way back to GLaDOS's chamber and confront her a second time.

===Test Chamber 22===
[[Image:Portal 2 Chapter 4 Test Chamber 21 temptation.png|left|300px|Chamber 22]]

As Wheatley leads Chell away from the test area, GLaDOS claims that Chell had escaped just before she reached the final test. A wall opens, revealing the "Test Chamber," which GLaDOS says "is an easier way out that whatever asinine plan your friend came up with."

If the player enters this Test Chamber, they will realize it was a death trap, as the wall closes behind them while the room fills with neurotoxin, which will kill the player within 5 seconds of entering the "chamber". There is another door on the adjacent side of the entrance with plants visible through it, but the door shuts itself when the player gets close to it, due to GLaDOS fizzling the Weighted Companion Cube on the button that keeps the door open. There is no way to escape from the "chamber" except by reloading from the last save point. There is also a series of white panels making a heart shape on the wall.

Whether this trap was actually Test Chamber 22 is left ambiguous as GLaDOS drops several hints that Chell will have to test for the next 60 years before she dies. On the other hand, she implies she was going to kill Chell after she completed Test Chamber 21 and had apparently finished building ATLAS and P-body to replace Chell by then, so it's possible this was Test Chamber 22, or at least had the same function.

Going into this chamber unlocks the achievement "Good Listener".

GLaDOS: I've got a surprise for you after this next test. 
GLaDOS: Not a fake, tragic surprise like last time... ... a ''REAL'' surprise with tragic consequences. 
GLaDOS: And real confetti this time. 
GLaDOS: The good stuff - our last bag. 
GLaDOS: Part of me's going to miss it, but at the end of the day, it was JUST taking up space.

GLaDOS: Look, [[Wheatley|metal ball]] - I CAN hear you. 
Wheatley: Run - I don't need to do the voice - RUN... 
Wheatley: RUN!!! 
Wheatley: Come on, come on! 
Wheatley: RUN! Come on! I'm closin' the doors! 
Wheatley: OK, quick recap: we are escaping! That's what's happening now: we're escaping. So you're doing great. Just keep running! 
Wheatley: Err, quick word about the future plans that I've got in store. 
Wheatley: We're gonna shut down her turret production line, alright, turn off her neurotoxin, and then confront her. 
Wheatley: Again though - for the moment - RUN! 
Wheatley: This way, this way. 
GLaDOS: The irony is you're almost at the last test. 
GLaDOS: Here it is. Why don't you just do it? Trust me, it's the easiest way out than whatever asinine plan your friend came up with. 
Wheatley: Whaaa? How stupid does she think we are? 
Wheatley: Oof. 
Wheatley: This way, this way. 
Wheatley: Come on, come on! 
Wheatley: WAARGH! 
Wheatley: What's going on in there?! 
Wheatley: Can you--- can you get out?! 
Wheatley: We HAVE to get you out of there! 
Turret: (Who are you?!) 
Wheatley: Try to make your way back out here! 
Turret: (Malfunctioning!) 
Turret: (Shutting down.) 
Wheatley: I heard gunfire! A bit late for this, but look out for gunfire! Probably doesn't help at this point, but I have at least tried. 
Turret: (Awww!) 
Turret: (Why?) 
Turret: (WHEE! OW, OW, OW, OW, OW!) 
Turret: (I don't blame you.) 
Wheatley: You're OK! Great, come on! 
Wheatley: This way, this way. 
Wheatley: Turrets! 
Wheatley: Go, go, go, go. 
Wheatley: There's the exit! We're almost out of here. 
[TESTCHAMBER MOVEMENT] 
Wheatley: She's bringing the whole place down. HURRY! HURRY! This way.

===Introduction===

====Tartaros====
In the Central AI Chamber at the end of the Portal 2 chapter The Escape, Wheatley plugs GLaDOS' memory to a potato, and put her with Chell in the elevator connected to the chamber. As GLaDOS explains him who he really is and calls him a moron, he has a fit of rage, and smashes the elevator several times until it is set loose into the shaft. The next chapter, The Fall, opens as Chell and the now potato-powered GLaDOS fall into the 4375 meter-deep elevator shaft, an employee access to Test Shaft 09. During the fall, GLaDOS (now nicknamed "PotatOS"[3]) tells Chell more about Wheatley's background and how him being in charge of the facility is a catastrophe. At the end of the fall, the lowest part of the shaft appears to be destroyed and does not reach the floor; Chell and PotatOS fall onto the ground, and Chell passes out. When she wakes up, she witnesses PotatOS being pecked by a crow who quickly takes her away (while it is the same model, it is unknown if it is the same bird that attacked Wheatley earlier), and the elevator dangling at the end of the destroyed shaft up above.

Chell then proceeds to an area that seems part ruined / part in construction, one of the two entrances to Test Shaft 09 to be used only by employees. Large pillars appear to support the modern facility above, and are marked with the number "09" and the name "Tartaros". In the Greek mythology, Tartaros is a large gloomy pit or abyss used as a dungeon of torment and suffering that resides beneath the underworld, and where several Titans were sent by Zeus for punishment; this is paralleled here, with Chell being sent in large gloomy abyss as a punishment from Wheatley. "09" is probably related to this particular area of the mines, since the Enrichment Shaft located nearby bears the same number. Also above these pillars there seem to be new GlaDOS style test chambers as there are modern lighting apparatuses.

Aided by her ASHPD creating portals on the portalable surfaces, Chell proceeds through the area, which is still fully powered, with ongoing fires of carcasses of Sentry Turrets. Many red cranes can also be seen; many other pillars and cranes appear to extend very far under the facility, possibly in areas bearing other numbers. The whole area seems to be uncompleted, as many scaffolds are still in place.

Chell then finds herself facing a wall barring the way to the "condemned testing area" of Test Shaft 09, condemned by vitrification on June 15, 1961, with three small shut doors. There two signs indicate the current status and condemnation date of the shaft mentioned above. Many "Keep out" and "Do not enter" signs are present. Conversion Gel pipes are also seen coming from above, disappearing farther into the rock. Thanks to her portal gun, Chell easily circumvents the wall, and proceeds through a narrow path along which a pipe runs, until she reaches the Abandonment Hatch.

====Abandonment Hatch====

The Abandonment Hatch is a gargantuan metal hatch that seals Test Shaft 09 from that part of the facility. There the condemnation date is seen again. To open the hatch, two persons have four seconds to press the two "Hatch Reclusion Override" buttons each found in the two cabins located on left and right of the hatch, each with a countdown outside of them. As Chell is alone, she uses her portals to push both buttons. When the hatch opens, it reveals it was hiding only a small human-size door (along with a chair and knocked down stool), the rest of the hatch space being a mere wall, a rather (purposely) anticlimactic result. Beyond the door is a small corridor leading to another small door, itself leading to the very bottom of the proper Test Shaft 09.

[[Image:Wheatleymonitor.png|right|900px|Wheatley on one of his monitors]]

{{Quotation|'''Wheatley'''|I'll wait--I'll wait one hour, then I'll come back and, as soon as I can locate your dead body, I'll bury you. Alright? Brilliant! Go, team!... See you in an hour, hopefully! If you're not... dead.|sound=Wheatley_sp_intro_03_afterfallalt09.wav}}

{{Spoiler|The '''Intelligence Dampening Sphere''', more commonly}} known as '''Wheatley''', is a [[Cores#Personality Cores|personality core]] of masculine programming and English West Country accent who appears in the single-player campaign of ''[[Portal 2]]''.

He serves as the game's {{W|deuteragonist}}, guiding [[Chell]] through her efforts in escaping the [[Aperture Science]] Enrichment Center. {{spoiler|However, half-way through the game he and GLaDOS switch roles as she becomes Chell's deuteragonist and Wheatley becomes the game's main antagonist.}}

Wheatley is voiced by British actor and comedian {{W|Stephen Merchant}}.

== Background ==
{{spoiler|Wheatley was designed to be an Intelligence Dampening Sphere, one of the [[Cores#Personality Cores|cores]] to be attached on GLaDOS in order to "generate an endless stream of terrible ideas" and inhibit her mental abilities. Although it was never explained, Wheatley was disconnected from her and given other jobs (it is possible that he was replaced by the [[Morality Core]]). Sometime before [[GLaDOS]] killed off the entire staff in the ''[[Portal 2: Lab Rat]]'' comic using neurotoxin, Wheatley had worked alongside staffs before he was put into storage with other cores seen at the end of ''[[Portal]]''. After a few years, though under unknown circumstances, he was put into deactivation along with many other personality cores and kept in storage.}}

{{spoiler|Thanks to [[Chell]]'s havoc on the Enrichment Center via the destruction of GLaDOS at the conclusion of ''Portal'', Wheatley and the rest of the cores were reactivated in order to maintain the facility. Ironically, this backfired as many cores appear to have been either killed off, gone insane (like the [[Space Sphere]]), or ran low on power.}}

{{spoiler|Prior to the events of ''Portal 2'', Wheatley was put in charge of maintaining the [[Extended Relaxation Center]] - which houses test subjects in long-term cryogenic stasis before and after they are put through the testing courses. However, what he did to actually manage the entire wing remains unmentioned. It was only until an unknown amount of time later that Wheatley decided to escape the facility. To accomplish this, he attempted to gather help from any remaining test subject that managed to last a long time after running out of cryogenic supply. Luckily for him, Chell was one of them if not the only one that lasted.}}

== Overview ==
=== ''Portal 2'' ===
{{See also|Portal 2}}

[[File:Wheatley intro rail.jpg|thumb|120px|right|Wheatley's first appearance.]]

{{spoiler|Wheatley is first seen during the very beginning of the game during the chapter ''The Courtesy Call'', wherein he removes Chell from her Relaxation Vault and puts her into one of the old testing tracks, so she can find a [[Handheld Portal Device]] and help him escape. After she acquires the device, he meets up with her and detaches himself from his management rail to accompany her to the now-ruined [[Central AI Chamber]], so they can access an escape pod to the surface. He uses his compatibility with the Enrichment Center's systems to allow passage through a testing chamber's backstage.}} {{spoiler|When they reach the ruined Central AI Chamber and he tries to activate the lights, he accidentally reactivates [[GLaDOS]] instead. Wheatley is crushed by GLaDOS' pincers and tossed to the side and Chell is placed back in GLaDOS' testing tracks. However, he somehow survives and is placed back on his management rail, due to an incident involving a bird (Wheatley attempts to explain the events of this incident to Chell, but it is not heard in full).}}

{{spoiler|Throughout Chapters 2, 3, and 4, Wheatley observes Chell from behind the scenes of the test chambers, trying to figure out a way to break her out. Finally, at the end of Chapter 4, he is successful and they both escape into the manufacturing section of Aperture, just before GLaDOS is about to kill Chell.

{{spoiler|After returning from Old Aperture, Chell and potato-GLaDOS learn that Wheatley's moronic actions are causing the facility's reactor to approach a nuclear meltdown because he consistently neglects the urgent warnings from the [[Announcer]], instead preferring to think of ways to satisfy the testing addiction he gets from inhabiting GLaDOS' body, which he calls "the itch". One such (unsuccessful) endeavor is the creation of [[Weighted Storage Cube|Cube]]/[[Turret]] hybrids, or "[[Frankenturret|Frankenturrets]]" designed to autonomously walk onto [[Super Button|buttons]]. When Wheatley discovers Chell and GLaDOS, GLaDOS attempts to overclock Wheatley's processors by forcing him to interpret a paradox, but the attempt fails as he isn't smart enough to even understand that it is a paradox at all, even his Frankenturrets understand this paradox, as they are seen twitching and sparking after the paradox is mentioned. When this attempt fails, Wheatley puts Chell and GLaDOS into his own testing tracks (most of them stolen from GLaDOS, and usually mashed together with other stolen tracks in a semi-failed attempt to make new chambers.) As they go through the testing tracks, he examines the rest of the Enrichment Center and discovers [[Atlas]] and [[P-body]]. Realizing he no longer needs Chell to continue testing, he sets a trap, with which he can [[Crushers|crush]] her to death. However, Chell evades his trap, escapes the testing area, and prepares for the final confrontation with him.}}

{{spoiler|When Chell arrives in Wheatley's chamber, Wheatley employs a four-part plan to destroy her: no portal surfaces, start the [[neurotoxin]] immediately, bomb-proof shields, and [[bomb]] launchers. This backfires, however, when Chell uses a bomb to shatter a pipe of [[Conversion Gel]], then uses this gel to redirect bombs at Wheatley. Each bomb stuns Wheatley for long enough to attach a [[Cores#Corrupted Cores|corrupted core]] onto him. Once this is done three times, Wheatley is corrupt enough for the announcer to initiate a core transfer. A stalemate occurs once more between Wheatley and GLaDOS, and Chell must press the stalemate resolution button to finalize the transfer. However, Wheatley had booby trapped it with explosives before the fight, as the fifth part of his plan, and Chell is flung from the button. The explosion dislodges part of the ceiling, exposing the night sky and the Moon. Chell shoots a portal onto the Moon, causing both her and Wheatley to be sucked into space, both of them holding onto the central core body in order to stay anchored on Earth. While they are suspended here, the core transfer is completed. GLaDOS returns to her original place as Central Core, knocks Wheatley off her body, and rescues Chell. Wheatley flies off into space, accompanied by the [[Space Sphere]].}}

{{spoiler|Wheatley is last seen in the epilogue after the end credits, with the [[Space Sphere|Space Core]] orbiting him, where he wishes he could say he was sorry for all he did to Chell.}}

== Aesthetics ==
The Portal 2 aesthetic theme is showcased in Act 4 of the single-player campaign. It is characterized by either mass-scale destruction of the chamber, or a regular clean theme with the occasional behind-the-scenes peek, also including Monitors. The walls are torn apart and the player can see all sorts of things outside of the chamber: Gel pipes, Pneumatic Diversity Vents, other chambers, catwalks, and sometimes fire. Each test is monitored by Wheatley shown on a screen. Soundscapes include intense destruction sounds: metal wronks, banging, and groans. This is the last theme the player will encounter in the Portal 2 Single Player campaign. The large destruction of the chambers is caused by Wheatley's terrible handling of the facility. A main part of the map is the outside area, which is seen through the gaps and tears of the test, explosions are also common.

== Trivia ==
* Appearance-wise, Wheatley appears to be a variant of [[GLaDOS]]' Intelligence Core (the one telling the [[cake]] recipe), with a blue "eye" and three dots, though Wheatley has dots only on his right side and possesses a white light as his iris instead.

* Wheatley's {{W|Cockney#Cockney_speech|Cockney accent}} heard in the [[Meet Wheatley (video)|Meet Wheatley]] video shown at E3 2010 uses a placeholder voice provided by [[Valve]] animator [http://www.mobygames.com/developer/sheet/view/developerId,55298/ Richard Lord].<ref>[http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2010/06/portal-2-wheatley/ ''Portal 2'' Gains a Talkative Companion] on Wired.com</ref> Due to very positive feedback, Valve considered at some point making the voice official.<ref>[http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=21890104&postcount=83 ''Portal 2'' E3 gameplay video (single post)] on the NeoGAF forums</ref> Later Lord himself emphasized that his voice was temporary, saying that "theres no way you will be dissapointed with the final voice - i'm over the moon with who it might be." [sic],<ref>[http://lastoutpostofsanity.com/2010/06/tempvoice/ "Temp voice!"] on Last Outpost of Sanity, Richard Lord's official blog</ref> until it was announced that Stephen Merchant would provide the final voice.<ref>[http://pc.ign.com/articles/109/1095842p1.html Gamescom: ''Portal 2'' gets Stephen Merchant] on ComputerAndVideoGames.com</ref>

* {{spoiler|During the 2011 Video Game Awards, Wheatley was nominated for "Character of the Year". He then made an appearance on the event which depicted him in space as he states that he would be even more honored for a space shuttle rescue.<ref>[http://www.gametrailers.com/video/vga-2011-spike-vgas/724835 Wheatley footage at VGA 2011] on GameTrailers</ref>}} ''Portal 2'' then won the award for "Best Performance by a Human Male" with Stephen Merchant's portrayal of Wheatley.<ref>[http://www.spike.com/events/video-game-awards-2011-nominees/voting/best-performance-by-a-human-male Best Performance by a Human Male] on Spike</ref>

* Wheatley makes a cameo appearance in an official [http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=7375 plugin] (Warning! May contain NSFW content), created by Bethesda and Valve, for ''The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim'', {{spoiler|entitled '''Fall of the Space Core, Vol. 1'''. In it, he can be seen floating around the Skills menu.}}

* In the developer commentary of Portal 2, it is revealed that he was originally intended to have tried escaping with other subjects prior to waking Chell up. {{Spoiler|This still remains in the game, as during the final boss battle, he says that he tried escaping with 6 people prior. However, due to his nature and the heat of the battle, it is unknown if he was lying or not.}}

* {{spoiler|When Wheatley speaks Spanish it translates to "You are using this translation software incorrectly. Please consult the manual."}}

* Wheatley , alongside GLaDOS and Chell, appears in [[LEGO Dimensions]]; {{spoiler|in the main story of the game, Wheatley attempts to aid the main characters {{w|Gandalf}}, {{w|Batman}}, and [http://lego-dimensions.wikia.com/wiki/Wyldstyle Wyldstyle] obtain [[Cake|cake]] and later escape from a [[Emergency Intelligence Incinerator|room-sized incinerator]]. Later, he reappears with the power of teleportation and again helps Chell overthrow GLaDOS by putting the [[Space Sphere]] in charge of the facility.}}
** {{spoiler| While '''non-canon''' to the ''Portal'' series, in his first ''LEGO'' appearance, Wheatley is still bound to railing (as he was in the early parts of ''Portal 2''), whereas later he is free-floating; both he and GLaDOS reference the events of ''Portal 2's '' ending. This may imply that the two appearances are intended to take place at different points in time with regard to the ''Portal'' timeline.}}

* {{spoiler|When Wheatley is transferred into GLaDOS' body, his handles are removed. Oddly, when Wheatley is being sucked into space, the handles suddenly reappear despite still being connected to the main frame. This maybe an unintended story fault that the developers doesn't notice while developing the game}}

* Wheatley makes a guest appearance as a [https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Spy Spy] weapon in [[Team Fortress 2]] (as the [[Ap-Sap]])

* Wheatley's situational awareness is the same as his intelligence, very low. {{Spoiler|As shown when the duo wakes up GLaDOS in the Chapter 2, Cold Boot when Wheatley is "hacking" and doesn't notice GLaDOS is booting up, making the situation very comical or at least as you see in cartoons.}}

{{Spoiler|The '''Intelligence Dampening Sphere''', more commonly}} known as '''Wheatley''', is a [[Cores#Personality Cores|personality core]] of masculine programming and English West Country accent who appears in the single-player campaign of ''[[Portal 2]]''.

He serves as the game's {{W|deuteragonist}}, guiding [[Chell]] through her efforts in escaping the [[Aperture Science]] Enrichment Center. {{spoiler|However, half-way through the game he and GLaDOS switch roles as she becomes Chell's deuteragonist and Wheatley becomes the game's main antagonist.}}

Wheatley is voiced by British actor and comedian {{W|Stephen Merchant}}.

== Background ==
{{spoiler|Wheatley was designed to be an Intelligence Dampening Sphere, one of the [[Cores#Personality Cores|cores]] to be attached on GLaDOS in order to "generate an endless stream of terrible ideas" and inhibit her mental abilities. Although it was never explained, Wheatley was disconnected from her and given other jobs (it is possible that he was replaced by the [[Morality Core]]). Sometime before [[GLaDOS]] killed off the entire staff in the ''[[Portal 2: Lab Rat]]'' comic using neurotoxin, Wheatley had worked alongside staffs before he was put into storage with other cores seen at the end of ''[[Portal]]''. After a few years, though under unknown circumstances, he was put into deactivation along with many other personality cores and kept in storage.}}

{{spoiler|Thanks to [[Chell]]'s havoc on the Enrichment Center via the destruction of GLaDOS at the conclusion of ''Portal'', Wheatley and the rest of the cores were reactivated in order to maintain the facility. Ironically, this backfired as many cores appear to have been either killed off, gone insane (like the [[Space Sphere]]), or ran low on power.}}

{{spoiler|Prior to the events of ''Portal 2'', Wheatley was put in charge of maintaining the [[Extended Relaxation Center]] - which houses test subjects in long-term cryogenic stasis before and after they are put through the testing courses. However, what he did to actually manage the entire wing remains unmentioned. It was only until an unknown amount of time later that Wheatley decided to escape the facility. To accomplish this, he attempted to gather help from any remaining test subject that managed to last a long time after running out of cryogenic supply. Luckily for him, Chell was one of them if not the only one that lasted.}}

== Overview ==
=== ''Portal 2'' ===
{{See also|Portal 2}}

[[File:Wheatley intro rail.jpg|thumb|120px|right|Wheatley's first appearance.]]

{{spoiler|Wheatley is first seen during the very beginning of the game during the chapter ''The Courtesy Call'', wherein he removes Chell from her Relaxation Vault and puts her into one of the old testing tracks, so she can find a [[Handheld Portal Device]] and help him escape. After she acquires the device, he meets up with her and detaches himself from his management rail to accompany her to the now-ruined [[Central AI Chamber]], so they can access an escape pod to the surface. He uses his compatibility with the Enrichment Center's systems to allow passage through a testing chamber's backstage.}} {{spoiler|When they reach the ruined Central AI Chamber and he tries to activate the lights, he accidentally reactivates [[GLaDOS]] instead. Wheatley is crushed by GLaDOS' pincers and tossed to the side and Chell is placed back in GLaDOS' testing tracks. However, he somehow survives and is placed back on his management rail, due to an incident involving a bird (Wheatley attempts to explain the events of this incident to Chell, but it is not heard in full).}}

{{spoiler|Throughout Chapters 2, 3, and 4, Wheatley observes Chell from behind the scenes of the test chambers, trying to figure out a way to break her out. Finally, at the end of Chapter 4, he is successful and they both escape into the manufacturing section of Aperture, just before GLaDOS is about to kill Chell. He hatches a plan to sabotage GLaDOS' turrets and neurotoxin, then confront her, defeat her, and escape. They succeed in sabotaging GLaDOS' [[turret]] production line and [[neurotoxin]] generator.}}

[[File:Wheatley extract potatos.jpg|thumb|150px|left|{{spoiler|Wheatley having extracted GLaDOS into a potato battery.}}]]

{{spoiler|Once this is done, Chell and Wheatley return to the Central AI Chamber through the [[Tubes]] to confront GLaDOS.

== Trivia ==
* Appearance-wise, Wheatley appears to be a variant of [[GLaDOS]]' Intelligence Core (the one telling the [[cake]] recipe), with a blue "eye" and three dots, though Wheatley has dots only on his right side and possesses a white light as his iris instead.

* Wheatley's {{W|Cockney#Cockney_speech|Cockney accent}} heard in the [[Meet Wheatley (video)|Meet Wheatley]] video shown at E3 2010 uses a placeholder voice provided by [[Valve]] animator [http://www.mobygames.com/developer/sheet/view/developerId,55298/ Richard Lord].<ref>[http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2010/06/portal-2-wheatley/ ''Portal 2'' Gains a Talkative Companion] on Wired.com</ref> Due to very positive feedback, Valve considered at some point making the voice official.<ref>[http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=21890104&postcount=83 ''Portal 2'' E3 gameplay video (single post)] on the NeoGAF forums</ref> Later Lord himself emphasized that his voice was temporary, saying that "theres no way you will be dissapointed with the final voice - i'm over the moon with who it might be." [sic],<ref>[http://lastoutpostofsanity.com/2010/06/tempvoice/ "Temp voice!"] on Last Outpost of Sanity, Richard Lord's official blog</ref> until it was announced that Stephen Merchant would provide the final voice.<ref>[http://pc.ign.com/articles/109/1095842p1.html Gamescom: ''Portal 2'' gets Stephen Merchant] on ComputerAndVideoGames.com</ref>

* {{spoiler|During the 2011 Video Game Awards, Wheatley was nominated for "Character of the Year". He then made an appearance on the event which depicted him in space as he states that he would be even more honored for a space shuttle rescue.<ref>[http://www.gametrailers.com/video/vga-2011-spike-vgas/724835 Wheatley footage at VGA 2011] on GameTrailers</ref>}} ''Portal 2'' then won the award for "Best Performance by a Human Male" with Stephen Merchant's portrayal of Wheatley.<ref>[http://www.spike.com/events/video-game-awards-2011-nominees/voting/best-performance-by-a-human-male Best Performance by a Human Male] on Spike</ref>

* Wheatley makes a cameo appearance in an official [http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=7375 plugin] (Warning! May contain NSFW content), created by Bethesda and Valve, for ''The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim'', {{spoiler|entitled '''Fall of the Space Core, Vol. 1'''. In it, he can be seen floating around the Skills menu.}}

* In the developer commentary of Portal 2, it is revealed that he was originally intended to have tried escaping with other subjects prior to waking Chell up. {{Spoiler|This still remains in the game, as during the final boss battle, he says that he tried escaping with 6 people prior. However, due to his nature and the heat of the battle, it is unknown if he was lying or not.}}

* {{spoiler|When Wheatley speaks Spanish it translates to "You are using this translation software incorrectly. Please consult the manual."}}

* Wheatley , alongside GLaDOS and Chell, appears in [[LEGO Dimensions]]; {{spoiler|in the main story of the game, Wheatley attempts to aid the main characters {{w|Gandalf}}, {{w|Batman}}, and [http://lego-dimensions.wikia.com/wiki/Wyldstyle Wyldstyle] obtain [[Cake|cake]] and later escape from a [[Emergency Intelligence Incinerator|room-sized incinerator]]. Later, he reappears with the power of teleportation and again helps Chell overthrow GLaDOS by putting the [[Space Sphere]] in charge of the facility.}}
** {{spoiler| While '''non-canon''' to the ''Portal'' series, in his first ''LEGO'' appearance, Wheatley is still bound to railing (as he was in the early parts of ''Portal 2''), whereas later he is free-floating; both he and GLaDOS reference the events of ''Portal 2's '' ending. This may imply that the two appearances are intended to take place at different points in time with regard to the ''Portal'' timeline.}}

* {{spoiler|When Wheatley is transferred into GLaDOS' body, his handles are removed. Oddly, when Wheatley is being sucked into space, the handles suddenly reappear despite still being connected to the main frame. This maybe an unintended story fault that the developers doesn't notice while developing the game}}

* Wheatley makes a guest appearance as a [https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Spy Spy] weapon in [[Team Fortress 2]] (as the [[Ap-Sap]])

* Wheatley's situational awareness is the same as his intelligence, very low. {{Spoiler|As shown when the duo wakes up GLaDOS in the Chapter 2, Cold Boot when Wheatley is "hacking" and doesn't notice GLaDOS is booting up, making the situation very comical or at least as you see in cartoons.}}

This is the twelfth level of the game, and takes place within a dilapidated Test Chamber. This level introduces the player to multiple [[Thermal Discouragement Beam]]s within a single chamber.

== Hazards ==
*[[Thermal Discouragement Beam]]

== Walkthrough ==
{{Spoiler|block=yes|
*Upon entering the chamber, look up, a [[Discouragement Redirection Cube]] is visible, get to it using portals.
*Grab the cube and jump to the platform in the middle of a chamber. Put the cube on the platform such that it redirects a lower [[Thermal Discouragement Beam]] to the receptacle. Then go back to the original location of the Discouragement Redirection Cube, look up to find another receptacle on the ceiling.
*Place a portal on the wall where the upper Thermal Discouragement Beam makes contact and place another portal under the second receptacle.
*After both beams are redirected to the receptacles the exit doors will open, proceed to the [[Chamberlock]].

== Bugs ==
* If you activate one of the Thermal Discouragement Beam receptacles, then deactivate it and activate the other one (both with portals), [[GLaDOS]] will congratulate you the way she would if you finished the test normally, despite the test wasn't actually completed, as in, you can't go through the [[Chamberlock]].

== Easter Eggs ==
* You can see one of Rat Man's Dens in this chamber. To the right of the exit you can see a broken wall leading to his den. Two of his trademark murals are painted on the walls and there is a radio tucked away in a corner – it’s the only place in the game you’ll hear a song written and composed specifically for Portal 2, The National’s “Exile Vilify.” The lyrics are incorporated into the murals.

== Trivia ==
* There is [[Wheatley]] hidden in this chamber, right under the panels that lift to give you access to one of the lasers. He appears only for a brief moment though.

==Test Chamber 03==
In the third chamber, [[Chell]] uses a Weighted Pivot Cube and portals to redirect beams to receptacles to open the chamberlock door. A [[Ratmann Dens|Ratmann Den]] can be found in this test chamber, along with an Aperture Science Radio that plays "Exile Vilify". [[Wheatley]] can also be briefly seen after the platform in the center raises up on a rail that runs under the floor.

This is the eleventh level of the game, and takes place within a dilapidated Test Chamber. This chamber introduces the [[Discouragement Redirection Cube]], and the way in which it can be used in combination with the [[Thermal Discouragement Beam]] in order to activate [[Panels]]. This level also introduces the ability of the Redirect Cube to act as a [[Weighted Storage Cube]] and activate [[Heavy Duty Super-Colliding Super Button]]s.

== Hazards ==
*[[Thermal Discouragement Beam]]

== Walkthrough ==
{{Spoiler|block=yes|
*Upon entering the room head to the left to a small cut off alcove which contains a [[Discouragement Redirection Cube]]. [[Wheatley]] makes a quick appearance here. Shoot a portal through the grating on the floor inside and place one somewhere on your side.
*Enter through and pick up the Discouragement Redirection Cube. Return back through your portal to the main room and to the [[Thermal Discouragement Beam]].
*Place the Discouragement Redirection Cube such that it intercepts the Thermal Discouragement Beam and redirects it into the receptacle.
*Proceed to the top of the newly created staircase and place a portal on the floor. Place the second portal underneath the Discouragement Redirection Cube and catch it as it falls through the portal. Place it on the [[Heavy Duty Super-Colliding Super Button]] and exit into the [[Chamberlock]].

== Trivia ==
* [[Hoopy the Hoop]] can be seen around a panel's hydraulics in this chamber.

==Test Chamber 02==
In this test, [[GLaDOS]] introduces the [[Discouragement Redirection Cube]]s that were built just before [[Chell]] had tried to escape in [[Portal]]. It involves redirecting lasers via the Cube and using portals. [[Wheatley]] can be seen briefly near a torn room where the [[Discouragement Redirection Cube|Redirection Cube]] can be obtained.

This is the tenth level of the game, and takes place within a dilapidated Test Chamber. This level introduces the [[Thermal Discouragement Beam]], and the way in which it can be used to activate [[Panels]] and thereby grant access to inaccessible areas.

== Hazards ==
*[[Thermal Discouragement Beam]]

== Walkthrough ==
{{Spoiler|block=yes|
*Proceed to the [[Victory Lift]].
*While standing on it, shoot a portal on the floor where the [[Thermal Discouragement Beam]] makes contact and place the other portal on the ceiling above the receptacle.
*The Victory Lift will rise, proceed to the [[Chamberlock]].

== Trivia ==
* This test is heavily implied to be the same as [[Portal Test Chamber 06|Chamber 06]] from the first game, as [[High Energy Pellet]] emitters and receptacles can be seen being swapped for their laser equivalents.

==Test Chamber 01==

Starting the second chapter, [[List of Portal 2 chambers|The Cold Boot]], it is the first chamber [[GLaDOS]] sends [[Chell]] through after her. It is actually [[Portal Test Chamber 06|Test Chamber 06 of GLaDOS' original testing track]], but with the [[Thermal Discouragement Beam]] replacing the [[High Energy Pellet]]. The player uses the beam to activate a [[Victory Lift]] which sends them up to the next testchamber.
