传送门 主线故事发生后的 Doug Rattmann,出自漫画实验室的老鼠
现实是心灵为自己编造的故事。一个在百万神经突触被激活时,由钙离子交换所幻化而成的人造结构。真相是如此奇特,唯有通过谎言才能存在。而我们的心灵撒谎。永远不要怀疑这点……
Doug Rattmann

Doug Rattman,绰号鼠人(Rat Man),曾是光圈科技丰富学习中心的一名科学家。在传送门主线故事发生前,GLaDOS 向整个设施注入了神经毒素,而 Rattman 是此次事件唯一已知的幸存者。他被描述为患有精神分裂症,并通过服用抗精神病药物来缓解妄想和幻觉。

Rattman 本人并没有以任何形式直接出现在游戏中,游戏中仅有他留下的一些绘画和壁画,玩家可以在传送门 数个实验室后台的隐秘角落和传送门 2 的单人模式中发现这些画。

在漫画传送门 2:实验室的老鼠 中,他被揭示为光圈科技的一名员工,负责研发手持传送门装置[1] 他对 GLaDOS 和道德核心的有效性表示怀疑,并评论道:“你总是可以无视你的良心。”[2] 事实证明,他的担忧是有道理的:GLaDOS 在公司的“带女儿上班日”上被启动后,便用神经毒素毒害了所有丰富学习中心的员工。

早有准备的他在最初的几场谋杀中幸存下来,并潜入设施的各个区域,躲过了正在积极追捕他的 GLaDOS。凭着一种“预感”,他闯入了测试对象档案室,并将 Chell 的名字排在了测试对象名单最前面,[3]引出了传送门 的主线故事。

传送门

在大多数 Rattmann 巢穴中都可以找到的粗糙的床

他精神错乱,药物短缺,还带着一个貌似会说话的同伴方块,在暗处里观察着接受 GLaDOS 测试课程的 Chell。 Although he is never spotted in-game in any of the playable Portal series, his refuge areas (referred to as dens) can be found by Chell, containing crude bedding, empty cans of beans and scribblings and dioramas on the walls. It is in one of these dens that the warning phrase "The cake is a lie" can be found scribbled on a wall; as GLaDOS continually promises that there would be cake at the end of testing.

Following Chell's conflict with GLaDOS after her escape from the testing tracks, the Lab Rat comic details Rattmann's point of view after the events of Portal in which he follows the sound of the explosion and finds a route to the outside world after the destruction of GLaDOS. His joy is short-lived as he witnesses an unconscious Chell being dragged back into the facility by the Party Escort Bot. Feeling guilt, as it was his actions that resulted in her being the first test subject, he once again enters the facility and finds Chell has been put in long-term cryogenic relaxation.[4] Finding out that all of Relaxation Chamber beds are offline due to the explosion compromising the power grid, he proceeds to save Chell's life by patching hers into the reserve power grid. He is injured in the process when he is shot by Turrets that are still left in nearby test chambers.[5] He then submits himself into Chell's cryogenic stasis bed found in the Relaxation Vault previously used in the events of Portal, and falls asleep in it.

His fate is left unknown as the entire bed with him is nowhere to be found when Chell later revisits this Relaxation Vault at the beginning of the single-player campaign in 传送门 2.

During the events of the single-player campaign of Portal 2, Rattman's fate is left unknown. Whether or not he is dead is left up to debate, as Chell's cryogenic stasis bed that she used before the events of 传送门 he took refuge in, had disappeared entirely. One piece of evidence for his death is the song called "Ghost of Rattman". Some speculate that Rattman may have made it to the moon, as shown in a hidden picture encrypted into the game's audio file. You can find the audio file by bringing a radio into Rattman's den in Portal 2 Chapter 2 Test Chamber 6.

All that is left of him in Portal 2, like in the first game, are wall scribblings and various dioramas depicting either what he witnessed or simply what he feels like expressing.

Rattman's graffiti work makes no appearances whatsoever during the game's Cooperative Testing Initiative. However, a Weighted Companion Cube can be spotted by Atlas and P-body in the last test of Course Four: Excursion Funnels. The cube is apparently attached to a Core Receptacle, indicating that it may in fact be as sentient as any other Cores in the series.

At some point in the events of the Perpetual Testing Initiative, in which the player takes role of stick figure Bendy - is shifted into a variety of alternate universes at the Enrichment Center as a means of still having Cave Johnson as ongoing CEO. There is a universe in which Rattmann is CEO of the Aperture company. Cave (now former junior claims representative of Aperture) hijacks the intercoms to yell out and warn everyone that Rattmann (the current CEO) is embezzling from the staffs' paychecks.

Rattman 的幽灵

参见: 测试歌曲

Rattman 的幽灵(Ghost of Rattman) is the 7th track on the Portal 2 soundtrack "传送门 2:测试歌曲" (Portal 2: Songs to Test By)。It includes what is speculated to be Rattmann speaking to himself, his Companion Cube, or even Cave Johnson. The ramblings draw parallels with the Borealis as well as multiple events in the 2011 comic Lab Rat. You can access this recording in Den #7 in Portal 2, located in test chamber 17.

(Unintelligible)
I had no choice, help me, Uncle Johnson,
Help me chose my desire!
(Unintelligible)
They took me to Mesa (unintelligible) mutilation
It was coming soon!
It's gone, sir, it's been stolen!
The ship is stolen!
(Unintelligible)
He's dead. Everyone, dead!
But she lives! Please, help me, Chell!
I can touch it!
Johnson? (Unintelligible)
The ship is gone, they're moving it to Mesa Hill!
That's where it all started.
(Unintelligible)
Little girl, it's ok.
Your pain is ignored by a little pill.


Connections to the Borealis

It's gone, sir, it's been stolen!
The ship is stolen!
The ship is gone, they're moving it to Mesa Hill!

By "the ship," Rattman is referring to the Borealis.

Connections to events in Lab Rat

He's dead. Everyone, dead!
But she lives! Please, help me, Chell!
I can touch it!

This could refer to two incidents, both described in Portal 2: Lab Rat.
The first incident is the infamous Bring Your Daughter to Work Day. He's dead. Everyone, dead! could refer to the people killed by GLaDOS during this incident, with But she lives! referring to GLaDOS herself.
However, these lines could alternatively be referring to the dead bodies in the cryo-chambers. As shown on page 17 of Portal 2: Lab Rat, all of the chambers were offline, however Rattmann was able to save Chell by resetting her life support and putting her in "the long sleep." This would also align with the next line I can touch it, referring to page 25, where Rattmann had to reach to push a button to save Chell.

Little girl, it's ok.
Your pain is ignored by a little pill.

As shown in 传送门 2:实验室的老鼠, Rattman is dependent on anti-psychotics to treat his paranoid delusions.

已知巢穴

Aside from leaving paintings, murals and messages behind, Doug Rattman also discovered a number of hidden rooms in Aperture Science. He adorned these rooms with messages and artwork and primarily used them as refuges in order to escape GLaDOS' scrutiny. The hidden rooms are present in both Portal and Portal 2, and are known as the Ratman's Dens. A total of 13 have been discovered, 6 in Portal and 7 in Portal 2.

琐事

Rattmann's hidden den in Lego Dimensions.
  • Doug Rattman was behind the Aperture Image Format, used in the 传送门 ARG.
  • Doug Rattman's voice can be heard in certain Rat-Man dens in Portal 2, and during the 传送门 2 原声带 track "Ghost of Rattman". These are both voiced by former Valve writer Marc Laidlaw.[6]
  • The medication Doug takes in Lab Rat is called ziaprazidone, a version of a real anti-psychotic, ziprasidone.
  • The “Armstrong Cube” artwork references his transmission in Portal 2 Chapter 2 Test Chamber 6. If one follows the actions to achieve Final Transmission, the radio emits a Morse-code like sound. When translated, the noise leads to a staticky image of a Weighted Companion Cube on the lunar surface.
  • Various wall art by Rattman can be found in the Portal 2 Adventure World in Lego Dimensions, along with a hidden Den. The infamous "cake is a lie" scribblings can also be found on walls, though instead of trailing off, it ends with "the cake is in the kitchen on the second floor."
    • Over a year later, the game's developers teased that there were still undiscovered secrets within Lego Dimensions[7], one of which was related to Portal. In November of 2016, players finally discovered that Doug Rattman himself was hidden throughout various parts of the level "GLaD to Meet You".[8]
