New Portal Ending

UPDATE: Portal 2 confirmed! See the links at the bottom.

=DETAILS=

This is the new ending to Portal released with the latest version of Steam. Speculation began after a new achievement was recently added to the game called "Transmission Received" as well as some Morse code sound files all containing the word "Dinosaur." These codes were further deciphered into SSTV images and within those were some hidden ASCII images.

Apparently if you carry the radios around in the game at the moment these messages will broadcast. The achievement "Transmission Received" can be earned this way. There are 26 areas where it must receive. Be careful though because the containment field will vaporize them.

=DIFFERENCES TO OLD ENDING=

The only change is that you will hear heavy mechanical footsteps followed by a robotic voice saying:

"Thank you for assuming the party escort submission position."

I know this is correct because GLaDOS says the exact same thing. He will then drag Chell away and Still Alive will play as normal. Was it Cave Johnson?

The old ending in contrast simply faded to black in that scene.

[thebrandonb2000]

Who is rattman?

[jayden96100]

@CanYouHackett97 rat man is in the relaxation vault

[CanYouHackett97]

Yeah, I considered that. She is heavy and it she's there for a while, but idk if that's how it really happened. Also, how is she hooked back up? She get torn to the surface, but she's all wired in when you find her again.

@CanYouHackett97 She isn't deep underground in Portal 2. The parking lot caved in. GLaDOS is really heavy you know. and after all of that time...
