GLaDOS: Difference between revisions

{{spoiler|At the end of the first test course, Team Building, she deploys the bots outside the official testing track, announcing that "this next test is so outside the box that I can't- I mean WON'T even tell you what you're looking for". She leaves the bots to use common sense to figure out what they should be looking for by themselves, as they find a large disc and bright it into a projector room. Despite the clear warning "DO NOT TRUST HER" written on a whiteboard in the room, the bots were loyal to GLaDOS and placed the disc into the projector - in which she begins scanning for files and documents she never disclosed. After she was done, she initiated a self-destruct on the bots and reassembled them back at the hub.}}

{{spoiler|This went unmentioned through the entirety of their second testing track, Mass and Velocity. However, at the end of this course, it became clear that she would send them outside the testing tracks again to handle her secret full takeover on the facility. As Atlas and P-body worked together to get each other past the air circulation maintenance section, they found another disc and installed it into the projector. GLaDOS began scanning for projects and tells them that she did not really need them to do this, and pretended it did not matter after self-destructing them.}}

{{spoiler|When the bots had unlocked the third course, Hard Light Surfaces, GLaDOS' utter disappointment in the duo was becoming more clear. With their deaths never bringing the satisfaction she had with the death of humans, as the bots could just easily be rebuilt again each time they are destroyed - she secretly worked on an attempt to replace Atlas and P-body. At the end of this course, the bots install a disc which contains the Enrichment Center's current overall security code, which she tried to block out from their range of hearing by uttering "blah blah blah" repeatedly as the [[Announcer]] relays the codes.}}

{{spoiler|In the fourth course, Excursion Funnels, GLaDOS builds slight hope in keeping Atlas and P-body still as predicted by her sudden change of mood from the previous course. She now wants the bots to feel conflicted against each other - hoping to enhance a more "competitive" and bitter testing run, simply by manipulating them into thinking that one of them has been "reporting" to her behind the other's back, or how P-body was not Atlas' first cooperative testing partner. No matter how many times she tried to stir the two apart, the bots would brush her lies aside, where GLaDOS' disappointment in the two had returned again in her tone of voice. At the end of the test, she convinces them to install the final disc to her full control over the facility - telling them it was a clerical error on how it was not done any earlier. After the bots installed it, overview maps of every section of the facility was shown in the screen, followed by her mischievous yet anticipated tone of voice when revealing that "[she] can see everything now".}}

{{spoiler|Reassembled back at the hub, GLaDOS tells the bots that they have just one more testing course to complete - Mobility Gels. She deploys the entrance to this course into the hub, and sends them deep beneath the Enrichment Center to the Aperture Science Innovators era, a bottom section of the salt mine. GLaDOS convinces them to rescue the "dying, trapped, crying" live human test subjects preserved in a cryogenic vault that were preserved since the 20th century. Once they finally reach to this vault at the end of the course, GLaDOS reveals a great deal of anticipation and obsession over "rescuing" them. In attempt to unlock the vault, the bots had to perform gestures like any human would - as the vault was an anti-robot section. Despite how sinister she sounded after the bots observed the hundreds of humans in cryogenic stasis, they disregarded it and began dancing in triumph. Now extracting all of the human test subjects, she begins processing their files - which apparently turned out to be only one person's file.}}

{{spoiler|When the bots are rebuilt again, she sends them to a new testing course dubbed as Art Therapy, constantly treating the test course as if it were an art museum despite the 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.}}
