	After a decade's worth of hard work, GLaDOS was officially activated as part of one of the many events during the company's "Bring Your Daughter to Work" day. Since she was able to take control of half of the facility's features, GLaDOS began killing most of its inhabitants by flooding the Enrichment Center with [[neurotoxin]]. However, only a few if not only one of the staff such as [[Doug ~~Rattmann~~]] had survived her attacks along with the series' main protagonist, [[Chell]]. The destruction of the company also coincided with an invasion of Earth, which had occurred two days after at Aperture's rival company, [[Black Mesa]]. This ultimately led to the negligence of the outside world from realizing's fate, as all attention had been diverted to Black Mesa and the aforementioned invasion.

	Since the attack, she has managed the company to her limits. {{spoiler\|Her first test subject and the series' main protagonist, [[Chell]], was given a warning of GLaDOS' true colors with the help of Rattmann.

	Before the events of ''Portal'', one of Aperture's technicians, [[Doug ~~Rattmann~~]], successfully evaded GLaDOS' attempts to flood the Enrichment Center with [[neurotoxin]]. He then took refuge in several departments throughout the facility and began tampering with the initial test subject roster, rearranging [[Chell]] to the top of the list as Test Subject #1 instead. Since GLaDOS initiated a lockdown, ~~Rattmann~~ was forced to live his whole life hiding between the backstages of [[Test Chambers]] in the Enrichment Center. He then left various warnings of GLaDOS through graffiti that could only be found behind several corrupted [[Panels\|wall panel]]s in Test Chambers, in hopes that Chell would later stumble upon them. GLaDOS was able to operate the company all while residing in her Central AI Chamber, despite lacking full control over the facility.

	She then awakens Chell for her mandatory testing of the [[Handheld Portal Device]], which began the events of ''Portal''. During these periods, she constantly intimidated Chell during her performances and gave bitter yet innocent sarcastic notions by simply acting out like conveniently placed pre-recorded messages. {{spoiler\|Several tests later, Chell would later discover the various graffiti left behind by Rattmann and immediately became aware that this was not the case, but was forced to play along with GLaDOS' plans.}}		She then awakens Chell for her mandatory testing of the [[Handheld Portal Device]], which began the events of ''Portal''.

	{{spoiler\|GLaDOS was a creation of [[Aperture Science]], a [[Cores\|personality core]] designed exactly to be fitted as a central computer mainframe. The project began under the oversight of [[Cave Johnson]] over the company and was an attempt to create a fully functional, advanced artificial intelligence which was originally intended to be occupied by Johnson as one of his attempts to cheat death. After it became apparent to Johnson that he may die of moon rock poisoning before development on GLaDOS would be completed, Johnson motioned for the scientists to insert [[Caroline]] instead.}}		{{spoiler\|GLaDOS was a creation of [[Aperture Science]], a [[Cores\|personality core]] designed exactly to be fitted as a central computer mainframe.

	After a decade's worth of hard work, GLaDOS was officially activated as part of one of the many events during the company's "Bring Your Daughter to Work" day. Since she was able to take control of half of the facility's features, GLaDOS began killing most of its inhabitants by flooding the Enrichment Center with [[neurotoxin]]. However, only a few if not only one of the staff such as [[Doug ~~Rattmann~~]] had survived her attacks along with the series' main protagonist, [[Chell]]. The destruction of the company also coincided with an invasion of Earth, which had occurred two days after at Aperture's rival company, [[Black Mesa]]. This ultimately led to the negligence of the outside world from realizing's fate, as all attention had been diverted to Black Mesa and the aforementioned invasion.
