Throughout the ''Portal'' series, you take on the role of [[Chell]], a young woman trapped within the [[Aperture Science]] facility. Chell is forced to solve tests of varying difficulty in [[Test Chamber|chambers]] designed by a psychopathic AI named [[GLaDOS]]. 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. | Throughout the ''Portal'' series, you take on the role of [[Chell]], a young woman trapped within the [[Aperture Science]] facility.

{{Spoiler|Falling several miles down, Chell awakens to find herself in the very bowels of Aperture and the ruins of the old facility. She witnesses the potato GLaDOS being abducted by a bird before making her way through the ruins and entering through a closed-off area to find the old Aperture Science facility. A voice recording plays, welcoming the visitor to Aperture. The speaker introduces himself as [[Cave Johnson]], founder and CEO of Aperture, and introduces his secretary, [[Caroline]]. As Chell makes her way through the old facility via enrichment spheres, Cave Johnson guides the player through the tests while gradually revealing the history behind Aperture. It is discovered that Cave Johnson founded the company in the 1950s as a curtain manufacturer, becoming a self-made billionaire, before expanding into a science research company. He built the facility in large salt mines beneath {{W|Michigan}} with the intention of competing with [[Black Mesa]]. In between lawsuits against his company for various mishaps and his personal rivalry with Black Mesa, who he claims stole much of his company's research | {{Spoiler|Falling several miles down, Chell awakens to find herself in the very bowels of Aperture and the ruins of the old facility.

{{Spoiler|It is revealed that in a misguided move in the 1980s, Cave bought $70 million worth of moon rocks to grind up. The resulting [[gel]] was toxic, and Cave Johnson falls gravely ill. Chell is reunited with the potato GLaDOS, found in a bird's nest, and GLaDOS insists they need to stop the corrupted Wheatley before his actions cause the destruction of the facility. While traveling with Chell, GLaDOS comes across a portrait of Cave Johnson and Caroline, whom she finds vaguely familiar. She then finds herself unwittingly parroting a conversation between Caroline and Cave Johnson. Highly stressed, she manages to overload her battery and shuts it off temporarily. Cave Johnson's voice on the recordings now sounds frail and it is clear his health is quickly deteriorating. In a last-ditch attempt to survive, he instructs his engineers to start research into artificial intelligence, so that his mind can be transferred into a computer. Angry at the state of affairs, he instructs his employees that if he dies before the AI is complete, Caroline is to take charge of the facility, against her wishes. He also informs them that she can take his place in the AI. No more recordings are made, but it becomes clear that Caroline's mind was inserted into the AI, and is now a part of GLaDOS. Learning this, GLaDOS' attitude slowly changes. She begins praising Chell's progress and claims to have turned a new leaf. While making their way back up to the facility, GLaDOS observes a poster about robot paradoxes and comes up with a plan to stop Wheatley when they face him.}} | {{Spoiler|It is revealed that in a misguided move in the 1980s, Cave bought $70 million worth of moon rocks to grind up.
