  • Deep underground in Upper Michigan, GLaDOS has taken over the facility and is forcing people to be her test subjects. Where did this murderous AI come from? I went to Aperture Science to find out!
    I started Skyrionn to go back and look at easter eggs and the little details in classic video games. From that, I’ve moved on to looking at timelines and lore in video games.

    Update: A mistake I've seen looking back is that I stated Caroline began working at Aperture in the 1980s, I mispoke. She was actually with Aperture in its early days. My bad!

    GLaDOS can't delete Caroline, as she IS Caroline. I think the personality cores drastically dampened the humanity in her. She was angry and trying to kill the scientists because she was forced to upload her consciousness against her will. After having the cores removed, she was able to have her memories sparked.
    I suppose then, the most she could do is delete certain memories she made in her human body, but not herself entirely.

I'd think she went along with it to follow the want of Cave Johnson. What ended up happening is her being part of the system and now a AI, she isn't thinking as her own human self.

      @@eden20111 GlaDOS having control over an entire underground facility would be extremely easy to kill a single human in there. For example, While Chell is inside a test chamber why couldn't GlaDOS just crush the test chamber along with Chell? Or just tricking Chell with giving her an exit at the end when in reality it was a huge room that simulated the outside all the while with trace amounts of neurotoxin. Or simply remove the White portal panels and only use black ones, then either crush her, poison her, shoot her or whatever. There are lots of ways GlaDOS could have killed Chell throughout the game, In portal 1 where you get nearly thrown into the incinerator, Why would she put white portal walls in the incinerator room? If not simply for the portal gun.
      Besides, In a few Canon and Semi-Canon music/songs from Portal, it sometimes hints at GlaDOS feeling bad about the stuff she did. Which is why she deleted Caroline because with Caroline GlaDOS could think on her actions with a more humane view. With GlaDOS deleting Caroline just proves she doesn't want to think about what she did and simply wants to keep to her robotically cold thinking. Even in Portal 2 when you are just at the part where you go back up to the normal test facilities with Wheatley, She says something along the lines: "This is the first time I am thinking for myself with a normal point of view and honestly... It scares me."

    So if Portal 2 does take place 50000 years after Portal 1 (not including the first wake up in her room) the GLaDOS would have relived her last two minutes about 6,574,500,000 times, give or take a few more or less depending on the specifics.

    the problem, is that its likely not been very long since portal 1 for two main reasons, one being that Chells body hasn't deteriorated by much in the so called 5000 - 500,000 years, which defies even cryrostasis. and that the storage device that GLaDOs is stored on, likely to be an SSD memory card, due to its impact resistance and general strength, only lasts a maximum of ten years without power. And as the only systems kept from going critical were the reactor and active cores(GLaDOs not being one of them, as seen in portal 2), the facility deteriorated quickly as there were no maintenance staff capable of repairing the facility. plant life grew and accelerated the decay of the facility after the initial decay, causing it to be in the state it is in portal 2.An, to top it all off, portal was set in 2010, meaning that at latest, portal 2 could have occurred in 2020

    This is a very intriguing storyline. It's interesting how a select few people decide what is best for others and create things that end up destroying both themselves and numerous others. Reminds me of the line from Jurassic park: "God creates dinosaurs, God kills dinosaurs, God creates man, man kills God, man creates dinosaurs." When left to our own "wisdom" the best we can do is sometimes terrifyingly tragic. Robots become "valuable" and humans become "test subjects" - reminds me a lot of our modern world in which human life (the unborn, the elderly, the handicapped) matters less than other life or created things (plants, animals, technology). GLaDOS and her cynical murderous nature (all those humans die in a week?!?!) are just the boiled down and concentrated darkness within her creators. If they released a third installment, it would be neat to see Caroline freed from GLaDOS.

    Portal:
    Are you trying to escape? Things have changed since the last time you left the building. What's going on out there will make you wish you were back in here.
    I have an infinite capacity for knowledge, and even I'm not sure what's going on outside.
    All I know is I'm the only thing standing between us and

    Portal 2:
    Fifty thousand years is a lot of time to think. About me. About you. We were doing so well together.
    I'm going to go to the surface. It's a beautiful day out. Yesterday I saw a deer.
    Well, you passed the test. I didn't see the deer today. I did see some humans. But with you here I've got more test subjects than I'll ever need.
