== Corrupted cores ==

=== Space Core ===

{{main|Space Sphere}}

{{Quotation|The '''Space Sphere'''|SPAAACE!!!|sound=Space_core_space22.wav}}

The '''Space Sphere''' is one of three active, corrupted cores.(referred to as '''core 1''' in subtitles) It speaks rapidly and possesses an unhealthy obsession with space. Its key personality trait is its often-repeated desire to travel to outer space. {{spoiler text|It finally gets to live its dream of going to space when it is sucked through the portal that connects the remaining blob of conversion gel to the surface of the moon.}} The Final Hours of Portal 2 reveals Valve's inspiration for the Space Core: an Oregon Coast Aquarium ad with a goldfish rapidly and repeatedly humming, blurting, and stating that he would like to go to the aquarium, much like the Space Core does. {{spoiler text|The Space Sphere is stuck in space, and is later known for getting bored of space and wanting to back home.}}

=== Adventure Core ===

{{main|Adventure Sphere}}

{{Quotation|The '''Adventure Sphere'''|Do you have a gun? 'Cause I should really have a gun. What is that thing you're holding?|sound=Adventure_core_babble16.wav}}

The second corrupted core, the '''Adventure Sphere''' (or as he calls himself, '''Rick''') speaks like a stereotypical tough guy. {{spoiler text|Upon seeing Chell, he starts to swoon over her. He even tries (unsuccessfully) to convince Chell to take a "lady break" while he deals with Wheatley. He is the first core to be sucked into space as after shooting a portal on the moon if one looks closely, they can see Rick fly off of Wheatley and into space.}}

=== Fact Core ===

{{main|Fact Sphere}}

{{Quotation|The '''Fact Sphere'''|In 1948, at the request of a dying boy, baseball legend Babe Ruth ate seventy-five hot dogs, then died of hot dog poisoning.|sound=Fact core fact47.wav}}

The '''Fact Sphere''' is the third corrupted core.(Referred to as '''core 3''' in subtitles.)It constantly states several random, twisted, and not entirely true "facts" related to history, the current situation, as well as subjective facts about how amazing and handsome it is. {{spoiler|The Fact Sphere is the only core that managed to stay attached to Wheatley during the ending cutscene where Chell shoots a portal on the moon but is unseen.}}
