GLaDOS: Difference between revisions

== Biography ==

Since the attack, she has managed the company to her limits. Her first test subject and the series' main protagonist, [[Chell]], was given a warning of GLaDOS' true colors with the help of Rattmann. She confronts GLaDOS in her chamber at the end of ''[[Portal]]'', which allowed GLaDOS to develop an even deeper hatred for her after she was awakened in the beginning of ''[[Portal 2]]''. {{spoiler|Just as she finished designing [[Atlas]] and [[P-body]] as her new test subjects, Chell and Wheatley worked together to sabotage her control over the Enrichment Center and decided to replace her rank as the [[Cores#Central Core|central core]] with Wheatley in order to gain the only path of escaping via a lift to the surface.}}

{{spoiler|The duo then have made their way back to the modern Enrichment Center, where Chell later escapes [[Wheatley]]'s [[Test Chambers|testing tracks]] and attempt to battle him in the Central AI Chamber. GLaDOS proposes that Chell is to attach her back into her body to resume her control over the facility. Their attempts were eventually successful, resulting in the exile of Wheatley to outer space and the reconciliation between Chell and GLaDOS.}}

{{spoiler|After repairing the entire facility to its state prior to Wheatley's control, GLaDOS begins to become even more affected by her recently acquired morality and consciousness after discovering who [[Caroline]] was. She realizes that Chell was not an enemy, but a close friend. GLaDOS then states that a surge of emotion had vibrated through her body had taught her where Caroline resides in her programming, shortly before the [[Announcer]] and her claimed to have deleted her. She then expels Chell from the facility in order to avoid further trouble to her control as she claims. However, Chell is comforted through her elevated ride to the surface by a [[Turret Opera]] which remains unknown as to why the event occurred.}}

{{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|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.}}
