Tidmouthmilk12: /* Sentry Turret */

[[File:Turret Boxed.png|right|thumb|Sentry Turret packaging|200px]]
{{Quotation|'''Sentry Turret'''|Hello friend.|sound=Turret_turret_active_5.wav}}

'''Turrets''' serve as one of the main testing obstacles in the ''Portal'' series. Armed with unlimited ammunition and deadly accuracy, they will attempt to kill test subjects on sight.

Turrets are voiced by [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1655889/ Ellen McLain].
__TOC__
{{Clr}}

== General ==
=== Sentry Turret ===
[[File:Portal2 Turret Standard.png|right|100px|The Sentry Turret]]

'''Sentry Turrets''' are miniature tripod robots that appear in every game in the ''Portal'' series. They are seen as incapable of independent movement, but can open each side of their chassis (their 'arms') horizontally in order to reveal two gatling guns. The central part of the chassis holds their red eye, which emits a targeting laser. Almost all of the space within the Turret is devoted to storing the ridiculously stacked ammo, explaining the infinite supply of ammo when firing.

When test subjects are out of sight from the Turret's presence, they will maintain a standby state and will remain motionless with their guns retracted. Moving into their angle of sight however, will cause Turrets to deploy their guns shortly after greeting the unlucky individual before opening fire. They will continue to fire until the target is dead or moves out of sight. If the latter occurs, Turrets will briefly search for the test subject (as indicated by the movement of the targeting laser), after which they will revert to a standby state.

Turrets can be avoided, disabled or destroyed in a number of ways. The most common method is knocking them over, causing them to flail and fire wildly before deactivating. This can be done by picking them up and dropping them, or using any object to tip them over. Additionally, the [[Thermal Discouragement Beam|Discouragement Beams]]s or [[Material Emancipation Grill|Emancipation Grill]]s can be used to completely destroy them.

In Portal, Turrets will shoot glass when the player is on the other side. In Portal 2, however, Turrets will only follow the player behind glass.

{{spoiler|In the Turret scanning room if you stand behind a defective turret that you've caught non-defective turrets will shoot the glass.}}

{{Clr}}

=== Rocket Turret ===
[[File:Portal Rocket Turret.png|left|80px|The Rocket Turret]]

The '''Rocket Turret''' is a unique enemy seen at the end of ''[[Portal]]''. It appears as a raw [[Cores|personality core]] outfitted with a rocket launcher. Upon activation, it will slowly lock onto [[Chell]] and emits a sound before firing a rocket. {{Spoiler|It plays a vital role in the battle with [[GLaDOS]], as rockets need to be sent through [[portals]] in order to hit her, causing [[Cores#Personality Cores|personality cores]] to detach from her.}}

Rockets can also be redirected by Chell to shatter the observation windows throughout the offices of the Enrichment Center.

Rocket Turrets used to play a major role in [[Portal 2]], but was later cut.
{{Clr}}

=== Defective Turret ===
{{main|Defective Turret}}
[[File:Portal2 Turret Defective.png|right|100px|The Defective Turret]]

'''Defective Turrets''', referred to as "Crap Turrets" by [[Wheatley]], are incomplete, sometimes ammo-less versions of the Sentry Turrets introduced in ''[[Portal 2]]''. Unlike normal Sentry Turrets, Defective Turrets have a more humorous and sarcastic dialogue, and speak in a masculine, less robotic voice.

They are harmless to [[Chell]], many times making comments such as "If anyone asks, I killed you". Their voice lines seem to imply they are blind, but they are still aware of Chell's presence. {{spoiler|They are first encountered in the chapter, ''The Escape''.}}

In the game's [[co-op]] campaign, the Defective Turrets appear as obstacles for [[Atlas]] and [[P-body]] throughout the ''Mobility Gels'' testing course. These Turrets appear to be as fully functional as regular Sentry Turrets and possesses the innocent and feminine voice tones as they should. The only difference from regular Turrets is that they have been defaced. {{spoiler|One Defective Turret in the final test chamber of this test course has been evidently reconfigured by someone, as instead of serving as a typical testing obstacle, before dying it reveals that it "needs to protect the humans".}}
{{Clr}}

=== Frankenturret ===
[[File:Portal2 MonsterTurret b.png|left|115px|The Frankenturret]]
{{main|Frankenturret}}
{{spoiler|'''Frankenturrets''' are bizarre Sentry Turret-[[Weighted Storage Cube]] hybrids in the single-player campaign of ''Portal 2''. Created by [[Wheatley]] in order to complete test chambers when he had no available test subjects, they are first introduced in the chapter, ''The Itch''.}}

{{spoiler|Frankenturrets do not speak, and instead emit incomprehensible chirping sounds. They generally serve as Wheatley's replacement for Storage Cubes once [[Chell]] is available as his test subject. Their only difference from normal cubes being that Frankenturrets will hop around aimlessly when it is not placed on a [[Heavy Duty Super-Colliding Super Button|button]]. When picked up by Chell, they retract their legs inside the cube. If they fall over on their sides or upside down, they will wave their legs trying to get up.}}
{{Clr}}

=== Prima Donna Turret ===
[[File:Portal2 Turret Wife.png|right|100px|{{spoiler|The Turret Wife}}]]

{{spoiler|The '''Prima Donna Turret''' (meaning ''First Woman'' in Italian, a title given to the lead singer, the diva, in an opera), referred by the game files as the '''Turret Wife''', is a bigger and wider Turret featured at the end of ''Portal 2''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s single-player campaign during the [[Turret Opera|Turret choir]], after [[GLaDOS]] finally allows [[Chell]] her freedom of leaving the Enrichment Center.

Apart from the ending, a Prima Donna Turret can also be found in the chapter ''The Return'', at the end of Test Chamber 11; briefly seen in an elevator just as [[Chell]] enters the [[Chamberlock]]. It can also be found below the [[Doug Rattmann|Rattmann]]'s den in the same chapter during Test Chamber 16, where it is observing a turret quartet.}}
{{Clr}}

=== Animal King Turret ===
[[File:Animal king.jpg|left|100px|The Animal King Turret]]
{{main|Animal King Turret}}
The '''Animal King Turret''' is a unique type in the single-player campaign of ''Portal 2'' that is only used in an [[Aperture Science]] slideshow to represent an "Animal King Takeover" in the chapter, ''The Courtesy Call''. The Turret is considerably colossal in comparison to its Sentry Turret brethren, and appears to operate the 'arms' on its side in exactly the same way.

It can be distinguished from ordinary Turrets by its immense size, crown and leopard skin-detailed chassis. In the context of the slideshow, the Animal King Turret is used as an example of an entity or a form of organization capable of taking control of Earth which "[[Media:Announcer prehub46.wav|...refuses to, or is incapable of listening to reason]]".

{{spoiler|The Animal King Turret appears only once in the entire game, during the single-player ending sequence when [[Chell]] is being brought up to the surface by GLaDOS after defeating Wheatley.}}

=== Hover Turret ===
[[File:Portal 2 Hover Turret.png|right|100px|The Hover Turret in-game]]

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

Turrets are introduced as testing hazards to [[Chell]] during the entirety of Test Chamber 16. Following this, they continue to appear throughout the remaining test chambers and eventually, during Chell's escape.

Turrets can be avoided, disabled or destroyed in a number of ways. The most common method is knocking them over, causing them to flail and fire wildly before deactivating. This can be done by picking them up and dropping them, or using any object to tip them over. Additionally, the [[Thermal Discouragement Beam|Discouragement Beams]]s or [[Material Emancipation Grill|Emancipation Grill]]s can be used to completely destroy them.

In Portal Turrets will shoot glass when the player is on the other side, in Portal 2 however turrets will only follow the player behind glass.
If however there a turret is 2 panes of glass away from the player it will shoot the glass.

Portal 2 turrets cannot see the player through [[Pneumatic Diversity Vent]] tubes.

=== Rocket Turret ===
[[File:Portal Rocket Turret.png|left|80px|The Rocket Turret]]

The '''Rocket Turret''' is a unique enemy seen at the end of ''[[Portal]]''. It appears as a raw [[Cores|personality core]] outfitted with a rocket launcher. Upon activation, it will slowly lock onto [[Chell]] and emits a sound before firing a rocket. {{Spoiler|It plays a vital role in the battle with [[GLaDOS]], as rockets need to be sent through [[portals]] in order to hit her, causing [[Cores#Personality Cores|personality cores]] to detach from her.}}

Rockets can also be redirected by Chell to shatter the observation windows throughout the offices of the Enrichment Center.

Rocket Turrets used to play a major role in [[Portal 2]], but was later cut.
{{Clr}}

=== Defective Turret ===
{{main|Defective Turret}}
[[File:Portal2 Turret Defective.png|right|100px|The Defective Turret]]

'''Defective Turrets''', referred to as "Crap Turrets" by [[Wheatley]], are incomplete, sometimes ammo-less versions of the Sentry Turrets introduced in ''[[Portal 2]]''. Unlike normal Sentry Turrets, Defective Turrets have a more humorous and sarcastic dialogue, and speak in a masculine, less robotic voice.

They are harmless to [[Chell]], many times making comments such as "If anyone asks, I killed you". Their voice lines seem to imply they are blind, but they are still aware of Chell's presence. {{spoiler|They are first encountered in the chapter, ''The Escape''.}}

In the game's [[co-op]] campaign, the Defective Turrets appear as obstacles for [[Atlas]] and [[P-body]] throughout the ''Mobility Gels'' testing course. These Turrets appear to be as fully functional as regular Sentry Turrets and possesses the innocent and feminine voice tones as they should. The only difference from regular Turrets is that they have been defaced. {{spoiler|One Defective Turret in the final test chamber of this test course has been evidently reconfigured by someone, as instead of serving as a typical testing obstacle, before dying it reveals that it "needs to protect the humans".}}
{{Clr}}

=== Frankenturret ===
[[File:Portal2 MonsterTurret b.png|left|115px|The Frankenturret]]
{{main|Frankenturret}}
{{spoiler|'''Frankenturrets''' are bizarre Sentry Turret-[[Weighted Storage Cube]] hybrids in the single-player campaign of ''Portal 2''. Created by [[Wheatley]] in order to complete test chambers when he had no available test subjects, they are first introduced in the chapter, ''The Itch''.}}

{{spoiler|Frankenturrets do not speak, and instead emit incomprehensible chirping sounds. They generally serve as Wheatley's replacement for Storage Cubes once [[Chell]] is available as his test subject. Their only difference from normal cubes being that Frankenturrets will hop around aimlessly when it is not placed on a [[Heavy Duty Super-Colliding Super Button|button]]. When picked up by Chell, they retract their legs inside the cube. If they fall over on their sides or upside down, they will wave their legs trying to get up.}}
{{Clr}}

=== Prima Donna Turret ===
[[File:Portal2 Turret Wife.png|right|100px|{{spoiler|The Turret Wife}}]]

{{spoiler|The '''Prima Donna Turret''' (meaning ''First Woman'' in Italian, a title given to the lead singer, the diva, in an opera), referred by the game files as the '''Turret Wife''', is a bigger and wider Turret featured at the end of ''Portal 2''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s single-player campaign during the [[Turret Opera|Turret choir]], after [[GLaDOS]] finally allows [[Chell]] her freedom of leaving the Enrichment Center.

Apart from the ending, a Prima Donna Turret can also be found in the chapter ''The Return'', at the end of Test Chamber 11; briefly seen in an elevator just as [[Chell]] enters the [[Chamberlock]]. It can also be found below the [[Doug Rattmann|Rattmann]]'s den in the same chapter during Test Chamber 16, where it is observing a turret quartet.}}
{{Clr}}

=== Animal King Turret ===
[[File:Animal king.jpg|left|100px|The Animal King Turret]]
{{main|Animal King Turret}}
The '''Animal King Turret''' is a unique type in the single-player campaign of ''Portal 2'' that is only used in an [[Aperture Science]] slideshow to represent an "Animal King Takeover" in the chapter, ''The Courtesy Call''. The Turret is considerably colossal in comparison to its Sentry Turret brethren, and appears to operate the 'arms' on its side in exactly the same way.

It can be distinguished from ordinary Turrets by its immense size, crown and leopard skin-detailed chassis. In the context of the slideshow, the Animal King Turret is used as an example of an entity or a form of organization capable of taking control of Earth which "[[Media:Announcer prehub46.wav|...refuses to, or is incapable of listening to reason]]".

{{spoiler|The Animal King Turret appears only once in the entire game, during the single-player ending sequence when [[Chell]] is being brought up to the surface by GLaDOS after defeating Wheatley.}}

=== Hover Turret ===
[[File:Portal 2 Hover Turret.png|right|100px|The Hover Turret in-game]]

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

This is the thirtieth level of the game, and is the first level to be set within a fully-repaired and functional [[Aperture Science]] Test Chamber. This level requires the player to combine precise [[Portals|Portal]]-placement and multiple [[Thermal Discouragement Beam]]s in order to proceed.

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

== Walkthrough ==
{{Spoiler|block=yes|
*Walk over to the Beams and place a portal on the wall on the left-side where the Beam ends.
*Place the other portal to the column facing the three Receptacles.
*Pick up the [[Discouragement Redirection Cube|cube]] that is already redirecting one of the Beams. Place the cube in front of the portal, so the Beam activates the middle Receptacle.
*Pick up the other cube and place it over the beam coming from the ceiling. Aim it at the Receptacle on the right side.
*Go to the [[Chamberlock]].
}}

It is also possible to complete this chamber without placing any portals. This is a more difficult solution to the puzzle so the basic solution is recomended

Chell

2012-01-13T10:22:34Z

Tidmouthmilk12: /* Portal 2 */

{{spoiler}}
{{SpoilerHeavy}}
[[Image:Chell.png|right|250px|Chell as seen in Portal 2]]

{{Quotation|'''GLaDOS'''|You really are doing great... Chell.|sound=GLaDOS_sp_sphere_2nd_encounter_completion01.wav}}

'''Chell''', documented as '''Test Subject #1''' but previously as '''#1498''', was a test subject of the [[Aperture Science]] computer-aided Enrichment Center, and was involved in the testing of the Company's [[Handheld Portal Device]] (commonly known as the Portal Gun).

She is the silent protagonist of ''[[Portal]]'' and the single-player campaign in ''[[Portal 2]]''. Very little is known of her past, beyond {{spoiler|her possible abandonment at birth and}} her stubborn will to live.

Throughout the series, Chell is antagonized by the AI and facility overseer [[GLaDOS]] during her testing courses. Wielding only the Handheld Portal Device, she eventually utilizes this device as a means of avoiding hazards and bypassing various sections of the Facility in order to escape.

== Overview ==
Most of Chell's past remains a mystery. {{Spoiler|During the final events of ''[[Portal]]'', [[GLaDOS]] mentions numerous times that Chell was abandoned at birth, and such references continue throughout ''[[Portal 2]]''. She later mentions in ''Portal 2'' that Chell was also adopted, although the credibility of GLaDOS' word is unclear.}} Many of GLaDOS' comments throughout ''Portal 2'' and the latter stages of ''Portal'' are in an effort to belittle, annoy or distract Chell from achieving her goal{{Spoiler|, and whether or not statements of her adoption and orphan status are true or not is up for debate}}.

Several times throughout Portal 2, GLaDOS and Wheatly make fun of Chell for being supposedly overweight or heavy. Even though Chell does not appear to be overweight, she is poked at many times for it through the course of the game. GLaDOS mocks this when the [[Aerial Faith Plate]] is first introduced saying that "the machine can not handle such a heavy load." GLaDOS also hints at Chell's weight in the Co-Op mode when [[P-Body]] and [[Atlas]] are being weighed, when GLaDOS tells them how to offend a human with weight statements. Wheatly ({{Spoiler|after taking over the facility}}) directly calls Chell a "fatty no-parents", mocking her weight and the fact that she is an orphan.

=== ''Portal'' ===
At some point in 2010, during the introductory sequence of ''[[Portal]]'', Chell is awakened in a [[Relaxation Vault]] after being unconsciously placed into it. Curious, she explores the Vault, and within only ten seconds of awakening, Chell is greeted by a robotic and seemingly automated female voice who informs her that she is a test subject. The AI, known as the Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System ([[GLaDOS]]), then states that Chell will be undergoing testing for the benefit of [[Aperture Science]]'s research programme.

GLaDOS then generates two oval-shaped teleportation fabrics ([[portals]]) on a solid flat surface, with an entrance portal in the Relaxation Vault and an exit just in front of the exterior of the Vault. Chell exits from the Vault, however she notices empty observation rooms which lack the staff that should be recording her performance. After completing her first test and acquiring an understanding the [[Cubes|cube]]-and-[[Heavy Duty Super-Colliding Super Button|button]] based mechanic, she is put through a series of tests to further explore and understand the use of portals.

[[File:Portal Chell.png|thumb|right|100px|Chell as seen in ''Portal''.]]

Having completed two tests, Chellreaches a test chamber in which she acquires the [[Handheld Portal Device|Portal Gun]]. Later on during the testing course, she is put through a series of more dangerous tests including hazards such as [[Goo]] and [[High Energy Pellet]]s among others. Skilfully avoiding these hazards, Chell is assisted by the [[Companion Cube]] and by the Aperture Science [[Advanced Knee Replacement]] components applied to the back of her lower legs to her ankles, which allow Chell to avoid injury when falling at high velocities from high altitudes as a result of portals and momentum. She is also finally able to replace the single-portal variant of her Portal Gun with a two-portal variant. As an incentive to complete the tests, [[GLaDOS]] promises Chell that [[Cake]] will be served once all tests chambers have been completed.

As the testing progresses, Chell stumbles across various areas with defunct [[Panels|wall panels]], and manages to sneak into them. As she enters these maintenance areas, she finds refuge areas commonly known as the [[Doug Rattmann|Rattmann]]'s Dens, previously used as as hiding placed by Aperture technician Doug Rattmann. The scribblings on the walls in these Dens appear to be warnings for Chell, telling her that "the cake is a lie" and that "she's watching you". Chell, now made more aware of her situation, is forced to continue testing and play along with GLaDOS' plans. The Rattman's warnings are eventually revealed to be correct, because GLaDOS finally decides to lower Chell into a fire pit upon completing the final test chamber, despite earlier promises of cake.

Chell successfully escapes the dramatically slow death trap, and is informed by GLaDOS that pretending to kill Chell is simply part of the test. Dubious as to the veracity of this claim, Chell escapes the testing course, and travels through the Aperture Science Facility in an attempt to reach the surface and escape. Eventually however, Chell realizes there there is no chance of escape as long as GLaDOS is in control of the Facility, and is forced to confront GLaDOS in the Central AI Chamber.

As she prepares to face GLaDOS, Chell is greeted by the passive-aggressive rogue AI. GLaDOS claims that she will provide Chell with a surprise, however a [[Cores#Morality Core|Morality Core]] unexpectedly detaches from GLaDOS' chassis. Chell destroys it using a nearby [[Emergency Intelligence Incinerator]], however the Core is revealed to be a safeguard designed to inhibit GLaDOS' homicidal tendencies. With the Core destroyed, GLaDOS releases [[Neurotoxin]] into the chamber in order to kill Chell. At the same time, a [[Turrets#Rocket Turret|Rocket Turret]] emerges from a core hatch beside GLaDOS and begins to target Chell. Using the Portal Gun, Chell redirects the projectiles through linked portals, causing the rockets to strike GLaDOS, each of which detaches more Personality Cores from the chassis. Although inflicting damage, the loss of the Cores merely increases GLaDOS's desire to kill Chell. After destroying each detached Core one-by-one, Chell destroys the final Core (the [[Cores#Anger Core|Anger Core]]), and GLaDOS is sent literally spiralling into her demise, as the destruction of her generators triggers a gravitational vortex, which deposits Chell on the surface.

Chell slowly regains consciousness in the parking lot of the Enrichment Center, with with a lifeless GLaDOS beside her. As Chell's vision clears, the [[Party Escort Bot]] thanks her for "assuming the party escort submission position", and begins dragging her back into the now-ruined Aperture Science Facility. As Chell is dragged away, it is revealed that the destruction of the Central Core (GLaDOS) resulted in the automatic activation of other Personality Cores, tasked with the management of the Enrichment Center while GLaDOS is offline. The final scene depicts the Companion Cube and a cake deep within the bowels Facility, waiting for Chell to claim them.

=== ''Portal 2'' ===
Many years after the events of the original games, where [[GLaDOS]] has been defeted, Chell is awakened by [[Wheatley]], a Personality Core which is believed to be attached to GLaDOS in the first game, convinces Chell to escape with him through the ruined facility. {{Spoiler|The pair accidentally find themselves in the remains of GLaDOS' chamber. Wheatley awakes GLaDOS, which becomes angry at Chell, because she got defeted in the first game.}}

{{Spoiler|Chell finds herself testing in the ruined facility with GLaDOS, but after a few chambers, Wheatley takes Chell to help him destroy GLaDOS' defenses. They cut off her [[turret]] production and [[Neurotoxin]] supply. GLaDOS eventually manages to trap Chell and bring her into her lair. Eventally a core transfer between GLaDOS and Wheatley is present. Shortly after, GLaDOS' head is detached and Wheatley is now incharge of Aperture. The power he got from the transfer starts to control him, making him become a power-sick moron. Wheatley snaps, makes GLaDOS a potato and throw Chell from the escape lift to the underground area of Aperture, which is a 1960-1980 part of the facility.}}

{{Spoiler|In "old-aperture", Chell meets [[Cave Johnson]], the dead founder and CEO of Aperture and his assistant [[Caroline]]. Thoughout the tests, Chell finds and re-activates the [[Repulsion Gel]], [[Propulsion Gel]] and [[Conversion Gel]]. She eventually finds the Potato GLaDOS and reunits with her to get GLaDOS back in charge. GLaDOS finds her that Caroline, Cave's assistant, is actually her. They find their way up back to the present facility, which looks clean and tidy, and start to face Wheatley.}}

{{Spoiler|Wheatley, which is in charge of the facility, using his limited mind, has build a new "cube" called "FrankenTurret", which combines a Turret with a Weighted Storage Cube. Wheatley runs Chell through a series of tests, until a chase begins, and Wheatley tries his best to stop GLaDOS and Chell, but fails, and GLaDOS and Chell face Wheatley by attaching cores to his body. Eventualy, Wheatley is thrown to space and GLaDOS comes back to her body. There, she speaks a monolauge with herself about Caroline and brings Chell out of Aperture.}}

== Trivia ==
* {{Spoiler|One of the ''Bring Your Daughter to Work Day'' science-fair entries within ''Portal 2'' is signed, "by Chell"; indicating Chell was the daughter of an Aperture Science employee.

* {{Spoiler|The [[turret]] opera at the end of ''Portal 2'' mentions Chell by name, calling her "cara mia" {{N}} "my dear" in Italian. This implies a deeper connection between Chell and GLaDOS than was previously let on.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtAXSyFCWXY</ref>}}
* Chell is modeled after actress {{W|Alésia Glidewell}}.
* In ''[[Portal]]'', Chell may sometimes emit small screams when hurt. However, these voice clips are simply archive recordings from [[Half-Life 2]]'s female citizens, who were voiced by Mary Kae Irvin. This was then one of many things that received a retroactive continuity in ''[[Portal 2]]'', as Chell no longer emits any pain groans whatsoever.

Skilfully avoiding these hazards, Chell is assisted by the [[Companion Cube]] and by the Aperture Science [[Advanced Knee Replacement]] components applied to the back of her lower legs to her ankles, which allow Chell to avoid injury when falling at high velocities from high altitudes as a result of portals and momentum. She is also finally able to replace the single-portal variant of her Portal Gun with a two-portal variant. As an incentive to complete the tests, [[GLaDOS]] promises Chell that [[Cake]] will be served once all tests chambers have been completed.

As the testing progresses, Chell stumbles across various areas with defunct [[Panels|wall panels]], and manages to sneak into them. As she enters these maintenance areas, she finds refuge areas commonly known as the [[Doug Rattmann|Rattmann]]'s Dens, previously used as as hiding placed by Aperture technician Doug Rattmann. The scribblings on the walls in these Dens appear to be warnings for Chell, telling her that "the cake is a lie" and that "she's watching you". Chell, now made more aware of her situation, is forced to continue testing and play along with GLaDOS' plans. The Rattman's warnings are eventually revealed to be correct, because GLaDOS finally decides to lower Chell into a fire pit upon completing the final test chamber, despite earlier promises of cake.

Chell successfully escapes the dramatically slow death trap, and is informed by GLaDOS that pretending to kill Chell is simply part of the test. Dubious as to the veracity of this claim, Chell escapes the testing course, and travels through the Aperture Science Facility in an attempt to reach the surface and escape. Eventually however, Chell realizes there there is no chance of escape as long as GLaDOS is in control of the Facility, and is forced to confront GLaDOS in the Central AI Chamber.

As she prepares to face GLaDOS, Chell is greeted by the passive-aggressive rogue AI. GLaDOS claims that she will provide Chell with a surprise, however a [[Cores#Morality Core|Morality Core]] unexpectedly detaches from GLaDOS' chassis. Chell destroys it using a nearby [[Emergency Intelligence Incinerator]], however the Core is revealed to be a safeguard designed to inhibit GLaDOS' homicidal tendencies. With the Core destroyed, GLaDOS releases [[Neurotoxin]] into the chamber in order to kill Chell. At the same time, a [[Turrets#Rocket Turret|Rocket Turret]] emerges from a core hatch beside GLaDOS and begins to target Chell. Using the Portal Gun, Chell redirects the projectiles through linked portals, causing the rockets to strike GLaDOS, each of which detaches more Personality Cores from the chassis. Although inflicting damage, the loss of the Cores merely increases GLaDOS's desire to kill Chell. After destroying each detached Core one-by-one, Chell destroys the final Core (the [[Cores#Anger Core|Anger Core]]), and GLaDOS is sent literally spiralling into her demise, as the destruction of her generators triggers a gravitational vortex, which deposits Chell on the surface.

Chell slowly regains consciousness in the parking lot of the Enrichment Center, with with a lifeless GLaDOS beside her. As Chell's vision clears, the [[Party Escort Bot]] thanks her for "assuming the party escort submission position", and begins dragging her back into the now-ruined Aperture Science Facility. As Chell is dragged away, it is revealed that the destruction of the Central Core (GLaDOS) resulted in the automatic activation of other Personality Cores, tasked with the management of the Enrichment Center while GLaDOS is offline. The final scene depicts the Companion Cube and a cake deep within the bowels Facility, waiting for Chell to claim them.

=== ''Portal 2'' ===
Many years after the events of the original games, where [[GLaDOS]] has been defeted, Chell is awakened by [[Wheatley]], a Personality Core which is believed to be attached to GLaDOS in the first game, convinces Chell to escape with him through the ruined facility. {{Spoiler|The pair accidentally find themselves in the remains of GLaDOS' chamber. Wheatley awakes GLaDOS, which becomes angry at Chell, because she got defeted in the first game.}}

{{Spoiler|Chell finds herself testing in the ruined facility with GLaDOS, but after a few chambers, Wheatley takes Chell to help him destroy GLaDOS' defenses. They cut off her [[turret]] production and [[Neurotoxin]] supply. GLaDOS eventually manages to trap Chell and bring her into her lair. Eventally a core transfer between GLaDOS and Wheatley is present. Shortly after, GLaDOS' head is detached and Wheatley is now incharge of Aperture. The power he got from the transfer starts to control him, making him become a power-sick moron. Wheatley snaps, makes GLaDOS a potato and throw Chell from the escape lift to the underground area of Aperture, which is a 1960-1980 part of the facility.}}

{{Spoiler|In "old-aperture", Chell meets [[Cave Johnson]], the dead founder and CEO of Aperture and his assistant [[Caroline]]. Thoughout the tests, Chell finds and re-activates the [[Repulsion Gel]], [[Propulsion Gel]] and [[Conversion Gel]]. She eventually finds the Potato GLaDOS and reunits with her to get GLaDOS back in charge. GLaDOS finds her that Caroline, Cave's wife, is actually her. They find their way up back to the present facility, which looks clean and tidy, and start to face Wheatley.}}

{{Spoiler|Wheatley, which is in charge of the facility, using his limited mind, has build a new "cube" called "FrankenTurret", which combines a Turret with a Weighted Storage Cube. Wheatley runs Chell through a series of tests, until a chase begins, and Wheatley tries his best to stop GLaDOS and Chell, but fails, and GLaDOS and Chell face Wheatley by attaching cores to his body. Eventualy, Wheatley is thrown to space and GLaDOS comes back to her body. There, she speaks a monolauge with herself about Caroline and brings Chell out of Aperture.}}

* {{Spoiler|One of the ''Bring Your Daughter to Work Day'' science-fair entries within ''Portal 2'' is signed, "by Chell"; indicating Chell was the daughter of an Aperture Science employee.

* {{Spoiler|The [[turret]] opera at the end of ''Portal 2'' mentions Chell by name, calling her "cara mia" {{N}} "my dear" in Italian. This implies a deeper connection between Chell and GLaDOS than was previously let on.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtAXSyFCWXY</ref>}}
* Chell is modeled after actress {{W|Alésia Glidewell}}.
* In ''[[Portal]]'', Chell may sometimes emit small screams when hurt. However, these voice clips are simply archive recordings from [[Half-Life 2]]'s female citizens, who were voiced by Mary Kae Irvin. This was then one of many things that received a retroactive continuity in ''[[Portal 2]]'', as Chell no longer emits any pain groans whatsoever.

Turrets

2011-08-18T19:56:04Z

Tidmouthmilk12:

[[File:Turret_Boxed.png|right|thumb|Sentry Turret packaging|200px]]
{{Quotation|'''Sentry Turret'''|Hello friend.|sound=Turret_turret_active_5.wav}}
'''Turrets''' serve as one of the main obstacles in the ''Portal'' series. Armed with unlimited ammunition and deadly accuracy, they will attempt to kill the player on sight.

Turrets are voiced by [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1655889/ Ellen McLain].
__TOC__
{{Clr}}

==General==

===Sentry Turret===
{{Quotation|'''Sentry Turret'''|Target acquired.|sound=Turret_turret_active_2.wav}}
[[File:Portal2 Turret Standard.png|right|100px|The Sentry Turret]]
'''Sentry Turrets''' appear as miniature tripod robots that appear in the ''Portal'' series. They are incapable of independent movement, but can open each side of their chassis (their 'arms') horizontally in order to reveal two gatling guns. The central part of the chassis holds their red 'eye', which emits a targeting laser. Almost all of the space within the turret is devoted to storing ammo.

When Turrets are unaware of the player's presence, they will maintain a standby state and will remain motionless with their guns retracted. Moving into their angle of sight however, will cause Turrets to deploy their guns with a voice line before opening fire. They will continue to fire until the player is dead or moves out of sight. If the latter occurs, Turrets will briefly search for the player (as indicated by the movement of the targeting laser), after which they will revert to a standby state.

Turrets can be avoided, disabled or destroyed in a number of ways. The most common method is knocking them over, causing them to flail and fire wildly before deactivating. This can be done by picking them up and dropping them, or using any object to push them. Additionally, the [[Thermal Discouragement Beam]] or [[Emancipation Grid]] can be used to completely destroy them. It should be noted that once a Turret has been knocked over and deactivated, restoring it to an upright position will reactivate it and the Turret will function normally once again.
{{Clr}}

===Rocket Turret===
[[File:Portal Rocket Turret.png|right|100px|The Rocket Turret]]
The '''Rocket Turret''' is a unique enemy in [[Portal]]. It appears as a personality core outfitted with a rocket launcher. Upon activation, it will slowly lock onto Chell and emit a sound before launching a rocket. {{Spoiler|It plays a vital role in the battle with [[GLaDOS]], as rockets need to be sent through [[Portals]] in order to hit her, causing [[Cores#Personality Cores|personality cores]] to detach.}}
{{Clr}}
===Defective Turret===
{{Quotation|'''Defective Turret'''|We're back!.|sound=Defective_Turret_finale02_turret_defect_return01.wav}}
[[File:Portal2 Turret Defective.png|right|100px|The Defective Turret]]
'''Defective Turrets''', also called "Crap Turrets" by [[Wheatley]], are incomplete, ammo-less versions of Sentry Turrets. Unlike normal Sentry Turrets, Defective Turrets have a more humorous and sarcastic dialogue, and speak in a masculine, less robotic voice.

They are harmless to Chell, many times making comments such as "If anyone asks, I killed you". Their voice lines seem to imply they are blind, but they are still aware of Chell's presence. {{spoiler text|They are first encountered in Chapter 5: The Escape.}}
{{Clr}}
Another form of defective turret is seen in chapter 2 and again in chapter 9. theese turrets look like normal turrets but with breaks in the outer shell with hazard tape underneath. Their laser beam will flicker on and off and the one turret that appears in chapter 2 doesen't follow chell around the room. Some of these turrets are depicted with the head installed side on. They are also harmless and in chapter 9 talk to Chell.

===Frankenturret===
[[File:Portal2_MonsterTurret_b.png|right|100px|The Frankenturret]]
{{spoiler text|'''Frankenturrets''' are bizarre Sentry Turret-[[Weighted Storage Cube]] hybrids created by Wheatley in order to complete test chambers when he had no test subjects. They are first introduced in Chapter 8: The Itch.}}

{{spoiler text|Frankenturrets do not speak, and instead emitting incomprehensible chirping sounds. They act as the Chapter's replacement for Storage Cubes, their only difference being that Frankenturrets will hop around aimlessly while not placed on a button. When picked up by Chell, they retract their legs inside their cubes. If they fall over on their sides or upside down, they will wave their legs trying to get up.}}
{{Clr}}

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

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

===Animal King Turret===
[[File:Portal2_AnimalKing.png|right|100px|The Animal King Turret]]
The '''Animal King''' is a unique turret that is only referred to in an [[Aperture Science]] slideshow entired "Animal King Takeover" in Chapter 1: The Courtesy Call. The Turret is considerably larger than its Sentry Turret brethren, and appears to operate in exactly the same way. It can be distinguished from ordinary turrets by its immense size, crown and leopard skin-detailed chassis. In the context of the slideshow, the Animal King Turret is used as an example of an entity or organisation capable of taking control of Earth which "[[Media:Announcer prehub46.wav|...refuses to, or is incapable of listening to reason]]".

{{spoiler text|The Animal Turret appears only once at the end of the game, when Chell is travelling to the surface after defeating Wheatley.}}

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

== Trivia ==
Use the Companion Cube to block the beam then run to the wall by the victory lift and you can pull Wheatley from the wall.
He will not activate the button nor talk to you but he can be used to block the beam if dropped 'face down'

Placing the companion cube on the button after collecting Wheatley and using momentum to fling yourself to the exit will cause GLaDOS to say: "uh oh, you're stranded. lets see if the cube will help you escape. Actually, so we're not here all day, I'll just cut to the chase, it won't. Any feelings you think it has for you are simply byproducts of your sad, empty life." she will then fizzle the cube on the button thus releasing a further cube form the Vital Aparatus Vent and say: "Anyway here's a new cube for you to project your deranged lonliness onto."

This is the seventeenth level of the game, and takes place within a dilapidated Test Chamber. This level requires the player to utilize their knowledge of the [[Thermal Discouragement Beam]], [[Button]]s and momentum in order to successfully solve the Test Chamber. This level is also unique in that it features a damaged [[Emancipation Grid]], which allows the player to unlock the "Preservation of Mass" achievement.

*[[Thermal Discouragement Beam]]

== Walkthrough ==
{{Spoiler|block=yes|
*Proceed to the chamber, jump over the Thermal Discouragement Beam and pick up the [[Companion Cube]].
*Look up and wait for the second companion cube to fall. When it does, pick it up and block the beam with it (it will fizzle).
*Wait for the third cube to fall and take it to the block the beam. Lift on the opposite side of the entrance will descend.
*Get on the lift and place a portal under the cube and other one on the wall to get the beam connected again.
*Wait for the lift to get to the top.
*Place a portal on the angled panels further away and walk over there. Place the other portal under the cube, so it'll come out near you.
*Pick up the cube and jump through the portal on the floor. Place the cube on the [[Heavy Duty Super-Colliding Super Button|button]].
*Place a portal on the other angled panels on the far-left corner and then place the other portal on the floor.
*Jump through the portal on the floor and go to the [[chamberlock]].

== Trivia ==
Use the Companion Cube to block the beam then run to the wall by the victory lift and you can pull Wheatley from the wall.
He will not activate the button nor talk to you but he can be used to block the beam if dropped 'face down'
