Story: Difference between revisions

{{Spoiler|Falling several miles down, Chell awakens to find herself in the very bowels of Aperture and the ruins of the old facility, before witnessing the potato GLaDOS being abducted by a bird. Chell makes her way through the ruins and enters through a closed off area to find the old Aperture Science facility. A voice recording plays welcoming the visitor to Aperture, who 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 testing spheres, Cave Johnson guides the player through the tests while gradually revealing the history behind Aperture. It is revealed Cave Johnson founded the company in the 1950's as a curtains 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]]. Inbetween lawsuits against his company for various mishaps and his personal rivalry with Black Mesa, who he claims stole much of his company's research, Cave Johnson slowly runs the company into the ground. It is revealed that in a misguided move in the 1980's, he bought $70m 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 nest, who insists they need to stop the corrupted Wheatley before his actions cause the destruction of the facility.}}
