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.}} | 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.

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.
