GLaDOS: Difference between revisions

{{spoiler|In the fourth course, ''[[Cooperative Testing Initiative#Course Four: Excursion Funnels|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 - ''[[Cooperative Testing Initiative#Course Five: Mobility Gels|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|As she no longer needed Atlas and P-body as her test subjects, she began testing the humans in an attempt to develop them into her cold minions. Her ultimate plan failed as the humans were unable to withstand her extreme testing courses and all of the hundreds of test subjects that were found died within just a week of testing. It became apparent that she absolutely needed Atlas and P-body back as her facility began to malfunction quickly, in addition to her lack of test subjects.}}

{{spoiler|When the bots are rebuilt again, she deploys the additional testing course; ''[[Cooperative Testing Initiative#Art Therapy|Art Therapy]]''. When the bots finally arrive to the course, she treats 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.}}
