In ''[[Portal 2]]'', {{Spoiler|GLaDOS briefly torments Chell by repeatedly destroying Companion Cubes in [[Portal 2 Chapter 2 Test Chamber 7|Test Chamber 7]]. It is at this point that GLaDOS claims that the Cubes are in fact [[Media:GLaDOS_sp_a2_pit_flings06.wav|sentient]], which suggests that they possess some level or rudimentary intelligence similarly to [[Turrets]]. The Cube also makes an appearance in the [[Co-op]] campaign but is inaccessible, preventing the player from interacting with it. After Chell leaves the facility upon completing Portal 2, a scorched Companion Cube is ejected after her.

== The Truth == | |||
There is evidence that suggests that there might be dead or dying people shoved into the cubes. For example, the achievement Fratricide. Fratricide means the act of killing your brother or sister. Did you just really incinerate one of your fellow test subjects? Also, GLaDOS talks about the companion cubes the same way she talks about human life. Even more so, Rattmann has pictures of cubes over heads of his fellow co-workers. there is a condition that makes people become attached to inanimate objects. A woman got married to the Eiffel Tower. But Rattmann doesn't just put the cube pictures over the faces of men, but women too. Finally, the Companion Cubes are never faced with the threat of a [[Emancipation Grid]] First, in Portal, you use an Incinerator to get rid of it. Then in Portal 2, the stage has a broken Emancipation Grid. | |||
