Sometime during the 80's, Cave Johnson had renamed the company Aperture Science, a name that would be known far into the future. However, the number of willing test subjects has dwindled over the years, and it grows to the point where employees and random strangers are pulled off the streets to be a part of the testing. The technology has advanced greatly, where robots are beginning to replace human employees. Said employees then become unfortunate victims of science in Cave's visions of the future of science. | Sometime during the 80's, Cave Johnson had renamed the company Aperture Science, a name that would be known far into the future.

However, his last few recordings indicate that these acquired "moon rocks" have caused him great illness. He explains that, in one of his wild ideas, he was grounding moon rocks together in the name of science to form a new type of substance called the 'Conversion Gel', most likely named due to its ability to serve as a great portal conductor by converting covered materials into suitable surfaces to place [[Portals]] on. However, With his terminal illness still growing worse and with no cure available, he decides to re-purpose the 'conversion gel' to create new portals that would hopefully sap the poison out of him. | ||
With little hope of a cure left, he instructs his engineers to start research on {{W|artificial intelligence}} (AI) and {{W|brain mapping}} in the hopes his brain can be downloaded onto a computer, stating they "should've been doing this 30 years ago". He also states that if he were to die before the technology is released, he leaves instructions that his secretary [[Caroline]] will take charge of Aperture Science. He states that he knows she'll decline at first or feel she can't do it, which he follows up with "Force her to do it if you have to". It is unknown what becomes of him, but it is presumed he fell victim to the illness, and ultimately, to science.}} | With little hope of a cure left, he instructs his engineers to start research on {{W|artificial intelligence}} (AI) and {{W|brain mapping}} in the hopes his brain can be downloaded onto a computer, stating they "should've been doing this 30 years ago".
