During the early stages of the testing, Chell is granted usage of the [[Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device]] (commonly referred to as the portal gun), a piece of equipment developed by Aperture Science that allows Chell to create [[portals]] that act as gates between each other, allowing Chell to quickly traverse areas or reach normally unreachable places. | ||

{{Spoiler|Following the events of ''[[Portal 2: Lab Rat]]'', Chell is awoken 50 days later in her relaxation chamber, which has the appearance of a motel room, for a 'mandatory physical and mental wellness exercise'. After a brief 'exercise', Chell returns to her sleep. She is awoken an undetermined amount of time later (a pre-recorded message says "[[Media:Announcer openingcourtesy01.wav|Hello, you have been in suspension for - NINE NINE NINE NINE NINE NINE NI-]]"), to the room intercom warning of an imminent core explosion. Her room is in a state of disrepair, and soon, an unfamiliar voice greets her. Upon opening the door she finds herself face to face with a more modern-looking [[Personality Core]] whose name is later revealed to be [[Wheatley]], the jovial AI in charge of the test subjects storage facility. After warning Chell of the likelihood of her having serious brain damage, Wheatley moves her relaxation chamber through the storage facility, crashing several times and largely destroying the room in the process, all the while ranting about the huge responsibility of taking care of the test subjects. After successfully navigating the room to the main testing facility, Wheatley instructs Chell to go retrieve a "[[Handheld Portal Device|gun that makes holes]]," as it will be needed for their escape from the facility. Upon successfully acquiring the device, Wheatley and Chell make their way to GLaDOS' chamber where Wheatley claims an escape pod to the surface is located. They find the chamber partially destroyed, with overgrown wildlife everywhere, and in the middle of the chamber lies the lifeless body of GLaDOS. After reaching the breaker room under the chamber, Wheatley attempts to find the breaker for the lift. In the process, he inadvertently reboots GLaDOS. Bitter at the cause of her death, she crushes Wheatley and tosses him away before dropping Chell into the [[Emergency Intelligence Incinerator]], into the incinerator room. GLaDOS instructs Chell to retrieve the Dual-Portal Device, before guiding her back into the facility's test chambers by navigating backwards through [[Portal Test Chamber 19|Test Chamber 19]].
