This is the final [[Test Chamber]] and twentieth level of the game. It features the [[Unstationary Scaffold]] and [[High Energy Pellet]]s, and [[Goo]] is present as the primary hazard. {{Spoiler|The player must utilise [[Flinging]] and precise portal placement in order to proceed.}}

== Hazards ==
* [[High Energy Pellet]]s
* [[Goo]]
* {{Spoiler|Incinerator}}
* [[Piston]]

== Walkthrough ==
*Walk to the end of the hallway. Shoot portals on the tilted panels to get the Pellet to the catcher. If you didn't succeed, wait for the Pellet to be on the side of the catcher and then place the portal from under the emitter to the wall in front of you.
*Hurry on the [[Unstationary Scaffold]] and duck to get to the other side of the metal pipe.
*Jump on the platform on the corner and then get back on the Scaffold, when it is on the other side of the platform.
*Turn to face the [[switch]] and press it as soon as you can.
*Turn around and shoot a portal to the other side of the opened door.

'''Portal Stories: Mel''' is a modification and unofficial prequel to [[Portal 2]].

== Story ==
{{Spoiler|An [[Aperture Science]] test subject named [[Mel]] arrives at Aperture via train in 1952. [[Cave Johnson]] tells her that she will be testing the Short-Term [[Relaxation Vault]], and tells her she will be asleep for a few minutes, or at most an hour. After going into the vault, something goes wrong, and she is indefinitely put to sleep. Later, far into the future, she is waken up by a voice pretending to be Cave Johnson that is trying to convince her it is 1952. It tells her to pick up an [[ASHPD]] to participate in a "new test." After a few tests, he decides to stop the act, and reveals he isn't Cave Johnson, and they are in the future and stuck inside of Aperture. He is actually a core named Virgil, a 'maintenance core' who is stuck in the 'scrapyard' of Aperture, and needs your help. Later after reaching a seal, Mel takes the lift that comes down after opening the seal. Mel later reaches the scrapyard, and then the offices. After finding Virgil,
he tells Mel to turn on the power. After turning on the power the voice is heard again. Its name is 'AEGIS', short for 'Aperture Employee Guardian and Intrusion System'. AEGIS begins to flood Aperture with toxic goo. Mel and Virgil take an elevator up to Virgil's testing track, through which they can access the computer room for AEGIS. Mel uses turrets to destroy the computers, and shut down AEGIS. Before shutting down, AEGIS reveals that it was trying to eliminate three targets: Mel, Virgil and [[GLaDOS]]. Mel incinerates her portal device, and goes up to the surface, saying goodbye to Virgil. Shutting down AEGIS drained cryogenic reserve power, thus waking up [[Chell]] and starting the events of Portal 2.}}

== Mechanics ==
{{main|Mechanics}}

Portal Stories: Mel's mechanics work similarly to [[Portal]] and Portal 2.
* New '70s portal gun model
* '50s mobster [[Turrets]] (Voices unused due to the Source Engine's programming)
* Advanced, high-difficulty tests
* Stylish '50s [[Long Fall Boots]]
* [[Death Fizzler]]s

== Characters ==

=== Mel ===
{{Main|Mel}}
[[Image:Mel.png|right|150px|Mel's placeholder found in Portal 2's game files.]]
Mel is the main protagonist of Portal Stories: Mel. She is a middle-aged brunette woman sporting a brown Aperture jumpsuit and spring based long fall boots. She also has minimal makeup such as red nail varnish and red lipstick. Little is known about her history as she is a silent protagonist similar to Chell from Portal and Portal 2, {{Spoiler|however Virgil does tell us about her struggles in Olympics, thus proving her Olympic status as an athlete in the 1936 Nuremberg Olympics. Her story starts in the old 1950s Aperture in a small train, akin to the beginning to the original Half-Life [[http://combineoverwiki.net/wiki/Half-Life]], and Cave Johnson gives us a quick synopsis of the facility, along with his usual antics (i.e. firing an employee for a simple spelling error). She soon walks through the brand new unnamed community founded by Aperture Science themselves, and going into the new yet faulty Aperture Science Short-Term Relaxation Vault (most likely an earlier version of the Aperture Science Long-Term Relaxation Vault). She falls asleep as Cave Johnson instructs her to do and then she soon falls into a long slumber. Once awoken "Cave Johnson" soon tells her she successfully completed her test and that she can complete another brand new test. As Mel looks around, it is clear that a long time has passed and Mel carries out her adventure inbetween Portal and Portal 2, and after the Bring Your Daughter To Work Day incident leaving all the scientists dead as well as GLaDOS deactivated and badly damaged by Chell. Mel is soon led by "Cave Johnson" to a vintage portal gun, in a smashed shelf filled with an array of comical rewards and trophies highlighting Aperture's achievements. She makes her way around the destroyed Aperture facility with technology well beyond Mel's time period, but "Cave" reassures it was simply an earthquake that brought things from the future with it. Now Mel needs to use her 'new test' to try and solve the Enrichment Spheres and finish the 'new' testing shaft. Throughout the rest of her testing adventure, Mel has a lack of a deep character and simply acts as a gateway for the player. Soon, through testing along with Cave Johnson acting increasingly suspicious, it is soon revealed that he is not Cave Johnson and in fact a [[Personality Core|Personality Construct]] named Virgil, who wants Mel to help him get out of the Aperture scrapyard that he fell into, off his management rail. If Mel is successful then Virgil will let her escape Aperture to go back to her 'normal' life.}}

{{Spoiler|After Virgil reveals himself, the relationship starts off shaky due to a lack of trust, Virgil himself even stating 'why would you trust someone who just lied to you' but as soon as Mel sees Virgil, Virgil seems very grateful when Mel picks him up stating "my motherboard was going critical". With Mel saving Virgil's life this seems to strengthen their bond.}}

{{Spoiler|With the introduction of AEGIS, the main antagonist of the game, Virgil seems rather quite alarmed about the 'flooding protocol' instigated by AEGIS, flooding the whole 1970s Lima Whiskey testing track, so Virgil tries to get Mel onto his testing track, which is soon hijacked by AEGIS, showing his power over the facility, and throughout the testing track Virgil tries to get Mel out, protect her and further encourage her. Soon, Virgil devises a plan to go to an overgrown testing track as the AEGIS scanners would be instantly overwhelmed by the amount of organic life (i.e. the overgrown plants and feral wildlife). Now in the overgrown testing track, Mel treks through it, still avoiding the imminent flood. Meanwhile, Virgil tries to gather as much information on AEGIS to shut down the autonomous core and then fully shut it down. Once devising a new plan to finish off AEGIS, Mel escapes and meets up with Virgil momentarily to then go to the AEGIS hub and systematically shut down his security, such as his thermal discouragement fields, and disabling his turrets. Finally, Virgil says he can't go in due to the lack of management rails. He wishes Mel good luck and she soon goes forward to shut his autonomy off.}}

{{Spoiler|Finally, using the defective turrets, Mel shuts down the AEGIS core leaving the AEGIS mainframe to a manual input. She shuts AGEIS down, but then soon finds out AEGIS's main goal was to completely flood the facility to fully destroy GLaDOS as its sole purpose was to protect all Aperture employees and accidentally seeing Mel and Virgil as murderers along with GLaDOS after she flooded the place herself with a deadly neurotoxin. Now Mel can finally escape, but first has to incinerate her old portal gun and have a final goodbye with Virgil and get to the surface and see the external ruins of the previous Aperture-founded community.}}

{{Spoiler|Then, a clear view of Mel shocked by her surroundings is shown and her adventure ends, we have very little information on Mel and seeing as Portal Stories: Mel is not canon, there is no acknowledgement to her in Portal 2, but it can be assumed she tries to live her life, but seeing the surrounding is completely overrun with wildlife, it seems that human life is scarce and society has probably collapsed, probably to the events of the Half-Life series.}}

=== Virgil ===
[[File:Virgil.jpg|200px|thumb|An image of Virgil as seen in the game.]]

Virgil is a personality construct, built by Aperture Science, probably in the late Cave Johnson/early Caroline era of the company as one of the first cores, due to his eye being the '70s logo of Aperture, as well as him having a great deal of knowledge on the older facility. He has a dark red skin with a tropical theme, and his orange eye cracked. Being a personality construct, he is a sentient AI and has a personality as the title implies. Throughout the game, he is shown to have much more intelligence then [[Wheatley]], but he is simply referred to as a maintenance core and does not possess a defined personality trait like the [[Space Sphere]], [[Adventure Sphere|Rick]] or the [[Fact Sphere]].

{{Spoiler|Virgil first appears as a fake Cave Johnson after the facility fell into disrepair and tries to guide Mel out to help him escape, only wanting to get out of his "technological nightmare", but as soon as Mel saves his motherboard from going critical, he starts to devise a plan to let both of them escape. However with the security system AEGIS flooding the place, Virgil tries to launch Mel onto his testing track for it to be hi-jacked a couple of tests in. He devised a second plan to go to the overrun facility to confuse AEGIS and use it as an distraction to find a way to destroy AEGIS and stop the flooding protocol. Finally once out of the overrun testing track, Virgil instructs Mel to shut down the AEGIS security and shut down the autonomy mainframe just to leave a manual input. Once Mel defeats AEGIS, Virgil and Mel depart and Virgil is left in Aperture Science, only with the other cores, Chell and GLaDOS once they wake up.}} Seeing that Portal Stories: Mel is non-canon it is unknown what truly happens to Virgil after the game or in the time period of Portal 2. Finally, it is also inferred that Virgil maybe be homosexual or bisexual as he shows some subtle attraction to the Rainbow Core, who is a male personality core.

=== AEGIS ===
[[File:Mel aegis closeup.jpg|200px|thumbnail|An image of AEGIS, in a similar position to GLaDOS]]
AEGIS (Aperture Employee Guardian and Intrusion System) is the main antagonist of the game. He can speak and make autonomous decisions, but they are based on protecting the scientists and does not show any self-awareness or sentience. He can only follow protocols and what will be safest for the scientists. He also seems to have great power over the facility, like GLaDOS, such as dispensing turrets, starting a flooding sequence or a asphyxiation program and even control testing tracks. He is first encountered in old Aperture when you have almost escaped the Lima Whiskey testing track as its radars can probably pick Mel up and immediately deems you as a threat, assuming you killed all the scientists in the Bring Your Daughter To Work Day incident.

=== Rainbow Core ===
The Rainbow Core appears as an Easter egg in a Test Chamber involving [[Excursion Funnel]]s, and speaks in a similar fashion to the Adventure Sphere. Virgil seems to be attracted to him, as evidenced by Virgil hoping Mel 'got his serial number'.

== Trivia ==
* The original Portal 2 was going to be a prequel and the main protagonist was also called Mel, but the two are mostly different characters and this beta Mel would go up against a southern Cave Johnson in the early days of Aperture, however it was changed to a sequel with Chell and GLaDOS because people missed Chell and GLaDOS' relationship, so Mel was scrapped.
* [[Doug Rattmann|Ratman]]'s dens can also be found in Portal Stories: Mel and one depicts AEGIS with millions of hands, depicting its control over the facility, when it is online.
* A hidden [[Weighted Companion Cube|companion cube]] can be found in Chapter 4, and is immediately fizzled on attempts to pick it up.
* The number "2056" appears many times during the game, in a mysterious way. It can be found at the beginning of the game on the train, and many other times, appearing also in an Easter egg and an achievement. This is a reference to developer LoneWolf2056's username.
* At the end of Chapter 4 a portrait captioned "Wallace Breen visits Aperture Science Laboratories, 1983" can be found depicting Wallace Breen shaking hands with [[Cave Johnson]].
* There is possiblity to open [[Puzzle Maker]] in this game. Open console and write <code>puzzlemaker_new_chamber</code> to open new map, and <code>puzzlemaker_open_chamber</code> to see dialogue window with saved maps. However, all of the models and textures are missing, and you can't actually play the chambers.

* After the interaction with the Rainbow Core, Virgil stutters and asks if Mel got the core's serial number. This has led fans to believe that Virgil is implied to be homosexual as he shows attraction to a male personality core.
* Rainbow Core’s voice actor, Harry Callaghan, voices all of game characters. He is also the creator of the popular Portal fan series, '''Meet the Cores''' which features the Rainbow Core in its second installment.

The '''Finale''' is the final test chamber in [[Portal Stories: Mel]]. The boss battle against AEGIS takes place here. The level is focused in the use of [[turret]]s, but it also features electrified water or [[goo]] as a hazard.

==Hazards==
*[[Turret]]s
*[[Goo]]
*[[Death Fizzler]]
*Falling to Death
*{{Spoiler|Low oxygen concentration}}
==Walkthrough==
{{Spoiler|block=yes|
*After entering the main room where AEGIS is, go to the right room. Proceed to the turret dispenser on the back. Use portaling and jumping on furniture to avoid the electrified water, or use portals with the water flow to extinguish the fire and portal to the back.
*A white turret will be in the dispenser. Use it to destroy AEGIS' servers. Should the turret die, another one will respawn in the dispenser.
*After destroying all of AEGIS' servers in the right room, return to the central room. AEGIS will start draining oxygen, limiting you with 4 and 6 minutes in Advanced and Story mode respectively.
*Enter the left room and use a turret from the dispenser on the far side of the room to destroy the servers on the bottom floor, like you just did in the previous room. Take care because a 50's turret will appear here, as well as on the second floor (those can harm you).
*Go upstairs and grab the 50's turret near the window. It will explode, breaking glass and making it possible to open a portal upstairs. Use one to bring a friendly turret to destroy the servers here.
*Use a portal under the now removed window and one near the ceiling to the right of the turret dispenser to fling yourself with friendly turret to the last server room and destroy the remaining servers.
*Without the servers, AEGIS will stop attacking (the timer will stop) and can be entered for manual control. Fling yourself to its bridge and open the hatch that says "You must sign an NDA before looking at this".

A series of cutscenes starts. From here on, no user interaction is required.
* Virgil remembers that there was another mechanical life form that AEGIS was trying to kill and tells Mel to discover who was it. The second mechanical target is revealed to be [[GlaDOS]].
* Virgil complains that he and Mel may have done something wrong but tells you to shut off AEGIS anyway. The process requires a password: 2056 (not required to type by player).
* The Death Fizzler blocking the elevator is deactivated due to AEGIS' shutdown. Virgil tells Mel to put the Portal Device in the incinerator because the gun isn't allowed to get out of Aperture Science. Virgil says farewell to Mel, remembering everything they experienced in the escape. The elevator takes you to the surface, revealing a landscape with signs of human civilization destroyed.
* The credits roll.
* A fast camera flight through the underground facility follows, ending in the manual control room. The perspective could be of an AI trying to gain control.
* The screen fades to black, with a receding chant of "number nine" audible.

[[File:50 shades of cave.jpg|200px|thumbnail|50 Shades of Cave magazine seen in the lobby]]
* In the Aperture building lobby, a magazine rack displays a magazine with the headline ‘Fifty Shades of Cave’ over [[Cave Johnson]]’s face. This is a reference the erotic romance novel/film Fifty Shades of Grey.
* In the Security Room on the left wall near the lift, Virgil can be found. This area however, is inaccessible in the final mod.
* In [[Cave Johnson]]'s dialogue just after leaving the lift, he mentions Crazy Harry. This is a reference to Crazy Harry from comedy show, The Muppet Show who is a pyrotechnic expert. This could also be a reference to Harry Callaghan who composed the music and voiced Cave Johnston in this mod.

The first one makes use of [[Goo]] and introduces the player to the [[Excursion Funnel]]s. In Advanced mode, it also introduces [[Laser Field]]s.

The second one, in Advanced mode, makes use of [[Propulsion Gel]].

==Hazards==

* Before entering the work in-progress test chamber, Virgil says ''"generally they (test chambers) need to be tested at least three times before they're finalized. Some people just can't count further than that I guess"''. This is a reference to the running joke that Valve can't count to three.

The '''Junk Yard''' is the first map in the third chapter of [[Portal Stories: Mel]]. It has no major hazards, but you may get killed by walking on fire and by electrocution.

==Hazards==
* Fire

==Walkthrough==

{{Spoiler|block=yes|
*The test starts with a door, entering it will start the level and the third chapter.
*The first section of the Junk Yard (the one that you are inside) is blocked by a fence. Create a portal inside and another one outside of it.
*Do not remove the portal outside the fence. Find a section with a door and create a portal at the floor.
*This part requires timing. Jump inside the portal near the door, you' ll be taken back to the portal that you used to escape from the fence. Create a portal in the floor quickly, this will fling you to the top of the final section.
}}

==Trivia==

* [[Rocket Turret]] from [[Portal]] can be seen in a pile of rubble near the start of the map.
* A calculator that can be picked up in an office will eventually show the equation ‘2 + 2 = 10’, a reference to [[GLaDOS]]’ final moments.
* If a player continuously tries to interact with Virgil, he will eventually get annoyed and say ''"Am I speaking in an accent that is beyond your range of hearing?"'' which also gives the achievement [[#Achievements|Beyond Your Range of Hearing]]. This is a reference to a similar line delivered by [[Wheatley]] in [[Portal 2]].
* A framed photograph in one of the offices depicts [[Cave Johnson]] shaking hands with Dr. Breen, a recurring character in Half Life.
* A TARDIS (Time And Relative Dimension In Space) from the British science fiction television series Doctor Who can be seen out of bounds to the left.
* There are photo frames with photos of some of the developers of the game in some of the rooms.

'''Portal Stories: Mel''' is a modification and unofficial prequel to [[Portal 2]].

== Story ==
{{Spoiler|An [[Aperture Science]] test subject named [[Mel]] arrives at Aperture via train in 1952. [[Cave Johnson]] tells her that she will be testing the Short-Term [[Relaxation Vault]], and tells her she will be asleep for a few minutes, or at most an hour. After going into the vault, something goes wrong, and she is indefinitely put to sleep. Later, far into the future, she is waken up by a voice pretending to be Cave Johnson that is trying to convince her it is 1952. It tells her to pick up an [[ASHPD]] to participate in a "new test." After a few tests, he decides to stop the act, and reveals he isn't Cave Johnson, and they are in the future and stuck inside of Aperture. He is actually a core named Virgil, a 'maintenance core' who is stuck in the 'scrapyard' of Aperture, and needs your help. Later after reaching a seal, Mel takes the lift that comes down after opening the seal. Mel later reaches the scrapyard, and then the offices. After finding Virgil,
he tells Mel to turn on the power. After turning on the power the voice is heard again. Its name is 'AEGIS', short for 'Aperture Employee Guardian and Intrusion System'. AEGIS begins to flood Aperture with toxic goo. Mel and Virgil take an elevator up to Virgil's testing track, through which they can access the computer room for AEGIS. Mel uses turrets to destroy the computers, and shut down AEGIS. Before shutting down, AEGIS reveals that it was trying to eliminate three targets: Mel, Virgil and [[GLaDOS]]. Mel incinerates her portal device, and goes up to the surface, saying goodbye to Virgil. Shutting down AEGIS drained cryogenic reserve power, thus waking up [[Chell]] and starting the events of Portal 2.}}

== Mechanics ==
{{main|Mechanics}}

Portal Stories: Mel's mechanics work similarly to [[Portal]] and Portal 2.
* New '70s portal gun model
* '50s mobster [[Turrets]] (Voices unused due to the Source Engine's programming)
* Advanced, high-difficulty tests
* Stylish '50s [[Long Fall Boots]]
* [[Death Fizzler]]s

== Characters ==

* '''[[Mel]]:''' Mel is the main protagonist of Portal Stories: Mel. She is a middle-aged brunette woman sporting a brown Aperture jumpsuit and spring based long fall boots. She also has minimal makeup such as red nail varnish and red lipstick. Little is known about her history as she is a silent protagonist similar to Chell from Portal and Portal 2, {{Spoiler|however Virgil does tell us about her struggles in Olympics, thus proving her Olympic status as an athlete in the 1936 Nuremberg Olympics. Her story starts in the old 1950s Aperture in a small train, akin to the beginning to the original Half-Life [[http://combineoverwiki.net/wiki/Half-Life]], and Cave Johnson gives us a quick synopsis of the facility, along with his usual antics (i.e. firing an employee for a simple spelling error). She soon walks through the brand new unnamed community founded by Aperture Science themselves, and going into the new yet faulty Aperture Science Short-Term Relaxation Vault (most likely an earlier version of the Aperture Science Long-Term Relaxation Vault). She falls asleep as Cave Johnson instructs her to do and then she soon falls into a long slumber. Once awoken "Cave Johnson" soon tells her she successfully completed her test and that she can complete another brand new test. As Mel looks around, it is clear that a long time has passed and Mel carries out her adventure inbetween Portal and Portal 2, and after the Bring Your Daughter To Work Day incident leaving all the scientists dead as well as GLaDOS deactivated and badly damaged by Chell. Mel is soon led by "Cave Johnson" to a vintage portal gun, in a smashed shelf filled with an array of comical rewards and trophies highlighting Aperture's achievements. She makes her way around the destroyed Aperture facility with technology well beyond Mel's time period, but "Cave" reassures it was simply an earthquake that brought things from the future with it. Now Mel needs to use her 'new test' to try and solve the Enrichment Spheres and finish the 'new' testing shaft. Throughout the rest of her testing adventure, Mel has a lack of a deep character and simply acts as a gateway for the player. Soon, through testing along with Cave Johnson acting increasingly suspicious, it is soon revealed that he is not Cave Johnson and in fact a [[Personality Core|Personality Construct]] named Virgil, who wants Mel to help him get out of the Aperture scrapyard that he fell into, off his management rail. If Mel is successful then Virgil will let her escape Aperture to go back to her 'normal' life.}}

{{Spoiler|After Virgil reveals himself, the relationship starts off shaky due to a lack of trust, Virgil himself even stating 'why would you trust someone who just lied to you' but as soon as Mel sees Virgil, Virgil seems very grateful when Mel picks him up stating "my motherboard was going critical". With Mel saving Virgil's life this seems to strengthen their bond.}}

{{Spoiler|With the introduction of AEGIS, the main antagonist of the game, Virgil seems rather quite alarmed about the 'flooding protocol' instigated by AEGIS, flooding the whole 1970s Lima Whiskey testing track, so Virgil tries to get Mel onto his testing track, which is soon hijacked by AEGIS, showing his power over the facility, and throughout the testing track Virgil tries to get Mel out, protect her and further encourage her. Soon, Virgil devises a plan to go to an overgrown testing track as the AEGIS scanners would be instantly overwhelmed by the amount of organic life (i.e. the overgrown plants and feral wildlife). Now in the overgrown testing track, Mel treks through it, still avoiding the imminent flood. Meanwhile, Virgil tries to gather as much information on AEGIS to shut down the autonomous core and then fully shut it down. Once devising a new plan to finish off AEGIS, Mel escapes and meets up with Virgil momentarily to then go to the AEGIS hub and systematically shut down his security, such as his thermal discouragement fields, and disabling his turrets. Finally, Virgil says he can't go in due to the lack of management rails. He wishes Mel good luck and she soon goes forward to shut his autonomy off.}}

{{Spoiler|Finally, using the defective turrets, Mel shuts down the AEGIS core leaving the AEGIS mainframe to a manual input. She shuts AGEIS down, but then soon finds out AEGIS's main goal was to completely flood the facility to fully destroy GLaDOS as its sole purpose was to protect all Aperture employees and accidentally seeing Mel and Virgil as murderers along with GLaDOS after she flooded the place herself with a deadly neurotoxin. Now Mel can finally escape, but first has to incinerate her old portal gun and have a final goodbye with Virgil and get to the surface and see the external ruins of the previous Aperture-founded community.}}

{{Spoiler|Then, a clear view of Mel shocked by her surroundings is shown and her adventure ends, we have very little information on Mel and seeing as Portal Stories: Mel is not canon, there is no acknowledgement to her in Portal 2, but it can be assumed she tries to live her life, but seeing the surrounding is completely overrun with wildlife, it seems that human life is scarce and society has probably collapsed, probably to the events of the Half-Life series.}}

[[File:Portal Stories Mel.jpg|thumb|An image of Mel in-game seeing herself through a portal]]

* '''Virgil:''' Virgil is a personality construct, built by Aperture Science, probably in the late Cave Johnson/early Caroline era of the company as one of the first cores, due to his eye being the '70s logo of Aperture, as well as him having a great deal of knowledge on the older facility. He has a dark red skin with a tropical theme, and his orange eye cracked. Being a personality construct, he is a sentient AI and has a personality as the title implies. Throughout the game, he is shown to have much more intelligence then [[Wheatley]], but he is simply referred to as a maintenance core and does not possess a defined personality trait like the [[Space Sphere]], [[Adventure Sphere|Rick]] or the [[Fact Sphere]].

{{Spoiler|Virgil first appears as a fake Cave Johnson after the facility fell into disrepair and tries to guide Mel out to help him escape, only wanting to get out of his "technological nightmare", but as soon as Mel saves his motherboard from going critical, he starts to devise a plan to let both of them escape. However with the security system AEGIS flooding the place, Virgil tries to launch Mel onto his testing track for it to be hi-jacked a couple of tests in. He devised a second plan to go to the overrun facility to confuse AEGIS and use it as an distraction to find a way to destroy AEGIS and stop the flooding protocol. Finally once out of the overrun testing track, Virgil instructs Mel to shut down the AEGIS security and shut down the autonomy mainframe just to leave a manual input. Once Mel defeats AEGIS, Virgil and Mel depart and Virgil is left in Aperture Science, only with the other cores, Chell and GLaDOS once they wake up.}} Seeing that Portal Stories: Mel is non-canon it is unknown what truly happens to Virgil after the game or in the time period of Portal 2. Finally, it is also inferred that Virgil maybe be homosexual or bisexual as he shows some subtle attraction to the Rainbow Core, who is a male personality core.

:[[File:VirgilHacking.jpg|thumb|An image of Virgil trying to hack the mainframe, similar to Wheatley, with no avail.]]

* '''AEGIS:''' AEGIS (Aperture Employee Guardian and Intrusion System) is the main antagonist of the game. He can speak and make autonomous decisions, but they are based on protecting the scientists and does not show any self-awareness or sentience. He can only follow protocols and what will be safest for the scientists. He also seems to have great power over the facility, like GLaDOS, such as dispensing turrets, starting a flooding sequence or a asphyxiation program and even control testing tracks. He is first encountered in old Aperture when you have almost escaped the Lima Whiskey testing track as its radars can probably pick Mel up and immediately deems you as a threat, assuming you killed all the scientists in the Bring Your Daughter To Work Day incident.

:[[File:AGEIS.jpg|thumb|An image of AEGIS, in a similar position to GLaDOS]]

* '''Rainbow Core:''' The Rainbow Core appears as an Easter egg in a Test Chamber involving [[Excursion Funnel]]s, and speaks in a similar fashion to the Adventure Sphere. Virgil seems to be attracted to him, as evidenced by Virgil hoping Mel 'got his serial number'.

== Trivia ==
* The original Portal 2 was going to be a prequel and the main protagonist was also called Mel, but the two are mostly different characters and this beta Mel would go up against a southern Cave Johnson in the early days of Aperture, however it was changed to a sequel with Chell and GLaDOS because people missed Chell and GLaDOS' relationship, so Mel was scrapped.
* [[Doug Rattmann|Ratman]]'s dens can also be found in Portal Stories: Mel and one depicts AEGIS with millions of hands, depicting its control over the facility, when it is online.
* A hidden [[Weighted Companion Cube|companion cube]] can be found in Chapter 4, and is immediately fizzled on attempts to pick it up.
* The number "2056" appears many times during the game, in a mysterious way. It can be found at the beginning of the game on the train, and many other times, appearing also in an Easter egg and an achievement. This is a reference to developer LoneWolf2056's username.
* It is possible to use the developer console to access the [[Puzzle Creator]]. However, all of the models and textures are missing, and you can't actually play the chambers.
* At the end of Chapter 4 a portrait captioned "Wallace Breen visits Aperture Science Laboratories, 1983" can be found depicting Wallace Breen shaking hands with [[Cave Johnson]].

Test Chambers

2020-07-13T00:31:26Z

PortalPlayer1:

[[Image:Portal2 TestChamberDoor.png|right|200px|A Test Chamber door]]

'''Test Chambers''' are a vital part of the ''Portal'' series and the [[Aperture Science]] Enrichment Center. Via the [[Security Camera]]s fixed onto the walls of test chambers at various points, [[GLaDOS]] can track a test subject's movements and progress.

There are hundreds and more test chambers throughout the Enrichment Center, which can be easily reconfigured and recycled to form another new test chamber. In ''Portal 2'', these chambers can be swiftly created by GLaDOS with the usage of robotic arms carrying [[panels]] and combining them with other panels to form a ceiling, floor, and walls.

Aesthetically, these chambers bear resemblance to a hospital with its sterile environment; due to the lighting used within chambers, and the black and white coloring of the walls, floors, and ceilings.

== Challenge modes ==
In ''[[Portal]]'', challenge mode test chambers can be found in the game's "Bonus Maps" menu option. In ''[[Portal 2]]'', the challenge modes can be played via selecting "Play Challenge Mode" in either single-player or co-op.

The chambers in the challenge mode are identical to the original campaign versions, only with the implementation of goal-based puzzles. These include completing the map with the:
* Least amount of [[portals]] deployed
* Least time elapsed
* Least amount of steps taken (''Available in Portal only'')

In ''Portal'', the stats will be compared to the goal, and if you matched the number of portals / steps / time to the goal (or got less than it), it will get harder and harder. In ''Portal 2'', player stats will be saved into the {{W|Steam (software)|Steam}} leaderboards. This allows the Steam community to keep track of friends and other players who have beaten them in either least portals created, or least time taken to complete a test chamber.

== Advanced chambers ==
Available only in ''Portal'', these are variants of the test chambers which have been redesigned with an advanced difficulty curve, for instance by decreasing the number of portalable surfaces, or by increasing the presence of [[Goo]].

Like challenge chambers in ''Portal'', advanced chambers can be played via the "Bonus Maps" section on the main menu.

The [[Portal 2 Sixense MotionPack DLC]] contains advanced chambers for ''Portal 2''.

==Trivia==
[[File:Mel citranium.jpg|350px|thumbnail|Citranuim Soda listed as an available drink on the Vending machines]]
* The arrivals board at the start lists City 17 as a destination, which is the setting of both episodes of Half Life 2.
* In the vending machines seen early on in the story, the list of available drinks includes Citranium Soda. This is a reference to a slightly earlier Portal mod, [[Aperture Tag: The Paint Gun Testing Initiative|Aperture Tag]], which includes Citranium as a 'sponsorship' gag.

In Story mode, '''Chamber 01''' (also known as '''Virgil-01''') is the second map of the third chapter and the first to be recognized as a test chamber.

This chamber also has a Ratman's [[Den]] in the game (which is related to the achievement [[#Achievements|Under the Stairs]]). The map is divided in two tests.

The first one makes use of [[Goo]] and introduces the player to the [[Excursion Funnel]]s. In Advanced mode, it also introduces [[Laser Field]]s.

The second one, in Advanced mode, makes use of [[Propulsion Gel]].

==Hazards==
*[[Goo]]
*[[Laser Field]]s
*Falling to Death

The '''Junk Yard''' is the first map in the third chapter of [[Portal Stories: Mel]]. It has no major hazards, but you may get killed by walking on fire and by electrocution.

==Hazards==
* Fire

==Walkthrough==
[[File:Mel calculator.jpg|200px|thumbnail|Calculator found at an office displaying "2 + 2 = 10"]]
[[File:Mel rocket turret.jpg|200px|thumbnail|Rocket Turret seen at the start of the map]]
[[File:Mel breen.jpg|200px|thumbnail|A photograph depicting [[Cave Johnson]] shaking hands with Dr. Breen]]
{{Spoiler|block=yes|
*The test starts with a door, entering it will start the level and the third chapter.
*The first section of the Junk Yard (the one that you are inside) is blocked by a fence. Create a portal inside and another one outside of it.
*Do not remove the portal outside the fence. Find a section with a door and create a portal at the floor.
*This part requires timing. Jump inside the portal near the door, you' ll be taken back to the portal that you used to escape from the fence. Create a portal in the floor quickly, this will fling you to the top of the final section.
}}

==Video Walkthrough==
{{youtube|lASuLeM69UM|hd=on}}

==Trivia==

* [[Rocket Turret]] from [[Portal]] can be seen in a pile of rubble near the start of the map.
* A calculator that can be picked up in an office will eventually show the equation ‘2 + 2 = 10’, a reference to [[GLaDOS]]’ final moments.
* If a player continuously tries to interact with Virgil, he will eventually get annoyed and say ''"Am I speaking in an accent that is beyond your range of hearing?"'' which also gives the achievement [[#Achievements|Beyond Your Range of Hearing]]. This is a reference to a similar line delivered by [[Wheatley]] in [[Portal 2]].
* A framed photograph in one of the offices depicts [[Cave Johnson]] shaking hands with Dr. Breen, a recurring character in Half Life.
* A TARDIS (Time And Relative Dimension In Space) from the British science fiction television series Doctor Who can be seen out of bounds to the left.

==Trivia==

* [[Rocket Turret]] from [[Portal]] can be seen in a pile of rubble near the start of the map.
* A calculator that can be picked up in an office will eventually show the equation ‘2 + 2 = 10’, a reference to [[GLaDOS]]’ final moments.
* If a player continuously tries to interact with Virgil, he will eventually get annoyed and say ''"Am I speaking in an accent that is beyond your range of hearing?"'' which also gives the achievement [[#Achievements|Beyond Your Range of Hearing]]. This is a reference to a similar line delivered by [[Wheatley]] in [[Portal 2]].
* A framed photograph in one of the offices depicts [[Cave Johnson]] shaking hands with Dr. Breen, a recurring character in Half Life.
