{{spoiler|As Atlas and P-body had installed several discs containing programs that allow GLaDOS to gain extensive control over the entire Enrichment Center, they also ultimately allowed her access to see every inch in the facility. This then led to GLaDOS sending the duo on a mission to retrieve thousands of human test subjects before her era, that are stored in a large cryogenic vault that she constantly referred to as the "human vault". During the cooperative campaign's monologue, it became clear that there was some truth to the constant mocking from GLaDOS regarding the bots and their intelligence levels, as the two felt some curiosity if not guilt after hearing her rather sinister joy from discovering the humans - moments before they began to feel a degree of excitement as they danced in triumph.}} | {{spoiler|As Atlas and P-body had installed several discs containing programs that allow GLaDOS to gain extensive control over the entire Enrichment Center, they also ultimately allowed her access to see every inch in the facility.

{{spoiler|No longer in need of Atlas and P-body, she conducted tests on the humans in an attempt to develop them into her cold minions. However, the plan had taken a wrong turn as she had given them intense training - with all of the humans ended up dying within a week. Since then, the facility has been malfunctioning and she notices that her prototype [[Cores#Central Core|central core]] chassis is being controlled. GLaDOS finally rebuilds the bots to resolve this problem and displays a great deal of panic throughout her new testing course that she had merely built halfway as she had little control. Nervous and afraid to die, she finally confesses to the robots the fate of the human test subjects and how the facility has been taken over by her old prototype currently being controlled. From doing this, she gains more confidence quickly throughout the rest of the tests and begins training them into becoming her "killing machines". As the bots are finally sent to resolve the problem with the prototype chassis, the duo discovers that a bird had been nesting above the machine's keyboards, and attempts to scare it away, with GLaDOS losing her confidence once again and panicking the moment she saw the bird through the bots' visions. When the bots did scare the bird away before shutting off the hatch entrance where it flew away to, GLaDOS congratulates the bots and dubs them as "kill machines" for the moment.}} | |||
{{spoiler|However, GLaDOS was able to finally face her fear of birds when she gained possession over the bird's eggs retrieved to her. She despised the birds at first after they had hatched, but once she saw potential in their hostility, she develops a heartwarming motherly bond for the birds and treats them as her "kill machines" instead of the bots. She gives them time to rest before putting them through their "big day tomorrow", something she would never do with anyone else.}} | |||

She then awakens Chell for her mandatory testing of the [[Handheld Portal Device]], which began the events of ''Portal''. During these time periods, she had constantly intimidated Chell during her performances and given bitter yet innocent sarcastic notions by simply acting out like conveniently placed pre-recorded messages. Several tests later where the [[Turrets]] are finally introduced for testing, Chell would later discover the various graffiti left behind by Rattmann and immediately became aware, but was forced to played along with GLaDOS' plans. | She then awakens Chell for her mandatory testing of the [[Handheld Portal Device]], which began the events of ''Portal''.

After Chell completed the final | After Chell completed the final test chamber, GLaDOS immediately revealed her true colors as she attempts to lower her into a pit of fire. Chell was able to escape her attempt to incinerate her and from there, Chell makes her way throughout the facility to escape. She later had no choice but to confront GLaDOS in her chamber as there was no chance of escaping, a conflict which Chell won. At the conclusion of the conflict, GLaDOS was heavily damaged, and remained in a dormant status for an unspecified amount of time as the facility degraded over the years. | ||

Beginning the major events of ''Portal 2'', | ==== Reawakening era ==== | ||
Beginning the major events of ''Portal 2'', GLaDOS is reactivated through the accidental efforts of both [[Wheatley]] and [[Chell]] having tried to access an escape lift to the surface in the Central AI Chamber, as both of them were previously trapped in the building following GLaDOS' destruction. {{spoiler|She immediately realizes the presence of Chell and Wheatley standing before her upon awakening. Despite her newly profound hatred for Chell having destroyed her, she uses Wheatley as an object for relieving her anger by crushing him.}} | |||
GLaDOS then decides to return Chell to the facility's science experiments to further her cause of science, but often makes various taunts in hopes to crush her morale. | GLaDOS then decides to return Chell to the facility's science experiments to further her cause of science, but often makes various taunts in hopes to crush her morale. | ||

{{spoiler|Before [[Chell]] could leave the Enrichment Center for good, GLaDOS decides to return Chell's [[Weighted Companion Cube|Companion Cube]] from her tests in ''[[Portal]]'' by ejecting it from the lift and onto her before the door to the Enrichment Center could shut itself.}} | {{spoiler|Before [[Chell]] could leave the Enrichment Center for good, GLaDOS decides to return Chell's [[Weighted Companion Cube|Companion Cube]] from her tests in ''[[Portal]]'' by ejecting it from the lift and onto her before the door to the Enrichment Center could shut itself.}} | ||
==== Cooperative testing era ==== | |||
{{spoiler|Sometime after Chell is freed from the Enrichment Center,}} GLaDOS has been primarily focusing on her two new test subjects, [[Atlas]] and [[P-body]]. {{spoiler|At some point, she grows tired of the duo as their deaths could not bring the satisfaction she had with the death of humans - when the bots could just easily be rebuilt again each time they are destroyed. In an attempt to replace Atlas and P-body, she sends them deep beneath the Enrichment Center to the Aperture Science Innovators era and section of the salt mine, and convinces them to rescue the "dying, trapped, crying" live human test subjects preserved in a cryogenic vault of that era. Once they finally reach to this vault, GLaDOS begins extracting all of the human test subjects and begin processing their files - which apparently turned out to be only one person's file.}} | |||
{{spoiler|As she no longer needed Atlas and P-body as her test subjects, she began testing the humans in an attempt to develop them into her cold minions. Her ultimate plan failed as the humans were unable to withstand her extreme testing courses and all of the hundreds of test subjects that were found died within just a week of testing. It became apparent that she absolutely needed Atlas and P-body back as her facility began to malfunction quickly, in addition to her lack of test subjects.}} | |||
{{spoiler|When Atlas and P-body are finally rebuilt again, she sends them to a new testing course that she dubs as an "Art Therapy", constantly treating the test course as if it were an art museum despite the clearly malfunctioning environment such as her lack of control in putting the test chambers together properly, and a flood arising around a section of the facility during testing. And later, the reassembly machines have finally malfunctioned - causing her to wait three days before the robots could be reassembled to deliver the duo to their next test chamber. After the problems became clear, she confesses that she does need their help and that someone has been tampering with the facility via control of an old prototype chassis of the [[Cores#Central Core|central core]]. To resolve this problem, she trains the bots into becoming her "killing machines" by sending them through even more excessive training during their test course. GLaDOS then finally sends them closer to the location of the chamber housing her chassis, in which she jokingly dubs them as her "Special Team Falling Into Acid Force". When the bots reached the chamber, they discover it was never a person controlling the chassis, but a bird nesting above the keyboard on the machine. As GLaDOS observes it, she panics and yells at them to abort their mission, before P-body closes a hatch that the bird flew out from. As the bots stare at the machine, GLaDOS observes the eggs on the bird's nest and panics that the bird had been "gestating clones" and forces them to destroy the eggs. As the bots were hesitant, she conjures a better idea and houses the birds in the Central AI Chamber, where she could talk with them directly.}} | |||
{{spoiler|After several insults on how the birds were "abandoned" for how worthless she deemed them, she immediately saw potential in them when one of the birds cracked the glass casing housing them with its beak. GLaDOS begins to show compassion toward the birds as she realizes their ability to use hostility and makes use of them as test subjects, as she reveals a more motherly bonding with the birds than she ever did with the bots. The fate of the birds will remain unknown until further test courses are added.}} | |||
