LORE - Portal Lore in a Minute!

In the year 1947 Aperture Science Enrichment Center was created to make shower curtains for the US Military. The owner, Cave Johnson, fell ill thanks to his secret production of a Conversion Gel made from Lunar rocks prompting him to produce a three-tiered research program to ensure the longevity of his company. First, The Heimlich Counter-Maneuver. Second, The Take-A-Wish Foundation and third, The Portal Project which included the making of the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device. The latter was endlessly funded by the Senate and Johnson went on to... well, die.

Fast forward many years later when an AI research assistant known as "Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System" - aka GLaDOS - is activated on the Enrichment Center's first Bring Your Daughter To Work day. After releasing a neuro-toxin, locking everyone inside and taking over the facility, GLaDOS is equipped with a morality core to keep her dickish impulses in line. The morality core is a failure, shock. and thus, the Aperture Test Chambers were created for GLaDOS's enjoyment.

The remaining employees were forced to further develop and test the Portal Project using the nifty portal guns. It's unknown how long those poor souls lasted in the nearly abandoned Enrichment Center but eventually GLaDOS finds herself with only one test subject left, Chell, who GLaDOS wakes up from her stasis bed. GLaDOS tells Chell she's trapped in the Enrichment Center and must make her way through the test chambers...and so, the adventure that is Portal BEGINS!

Good job.
Have fun.

Narrator: "Glad-us"

Me: "IT'S GLAD-OS."

[Tyler Greene]

LEMONS YEAH

[Ivin3690]

20 year gap is highly unlikely given the state of disrepair at aperture. Its just wishful thinking to align the timelines of half life and portal into some sort of epic combo.

[Ivin3690]

he did work on it. but then he tried to sabotage it

[Ivin3690]

how do u know its 200 years? ive heard plenty of speculations as to how much time passed but nothing certain. It is not known

[Ivin3690]

nigga u way too mad over nothing. she said glad-us, and its glad-os. if u have a problem with the format of the comment, yap away. but the content itself is accurate

[Ivin3690]

ive thought about that. I dont think a movie would do the lore justice. the experience has to be more personal than a movie, and only the games could do that

[wtfboomheadshot1337]

@lore .... Did you even play the games...Maybe lore got her info from the Fact Sphere. ..."To make a photocopier, simply photocopy a mirror."

[MiksteRrdy]

That's what Meim fieri says. Btw she awoke FIRST because of Rattman. He read her file and it said tenacity HIGH. Some of the subjects were alive when Chel woke up. So, besides some other wrong stuff, there were subjects who were still alive. She wasn't the "last man standing".

[Meim fieri]

But that's not all completely correct...for example, Chell was awoken by Doug Rattman in a last attempt to save Aperture from GLaDOS.

[Gruntchy McCrasher]

I don't want your damn lemons!
