While Cave Johnson and Caroline were in thier human body's they conceived a child that they named Chell. After Cave was poisoned by moon rock dust he knew that he was going to be unable to raise his daughter; so he made a deal with the GMAN to raise his daughter for him. In exchange Cave Johnson would finish the Borealis project, and finalize the GLADOS system so humanity can backup all human intelligence. During Aperture's bring your daughter to work day; the Gman decided to bring Chell to visit her biological parents knowing that thier was to be "unforseen consequences". During this day Caroline was to be backed up in the GLADOS system. GLADOS immediately became self aware. GLADOS was so sad, and angry that her daughter had to see her become a machine that she decided to kill the scientist. In retaliation some of the scientist corrupted GLADOS memory to force GLADOS to calm down. While this is happening the GMAN decides to place Chell into aperture's sleep chamber, and manipulates the system into believing that Chell is a test subject in order for the system to accept her into sleep chamber. The GMAN then specifically programs Chell's profile so that she is not to be tested as she is just a mere child. While Chell is in her sleep state she grows into an adult. You can tell that she was well taken care of because her nutrition and the fact that she has clothes that properly fit her. When Chell became a proper age; the GMAN convinces the schizophrenic "ratman" to awaken Chell by convincing him that a near by companion cube was able to communicate. Even tho the companion cubes are the indestructible coffins of former aperture workers, and test subjects. The GMAN knowing of the alien attacks starting from the black mesa incident; believes that through testing Chell in aperture She would then be prepared for the world above her. The schizophrenic "ratman" agrees to do so and places Chell at the top of the test subject list. "Ratman" notices that Chell's last name was hidden, and her original file states that she was not to test. When Chell wakes up she knows that she is in aperture. She immediately remembers GLADOS voice; and in defiance she decides to give her mother the silent treatment. The events of portal, and portal 2 then play out.

[@gazza7693]

I heard as well that Glados physical appearance resembled a woman suspended upside down, bonded and attached to the mechanical pod. If Cave did that to Caroline both physically and mentally that is so god damn dark, holy shit.

[@poofa4009]

Nope, there wasn't any betraying to be had. Here's what happened, Cave Johnson was poisoned by the white gel seen in the game, made from moon rocks. He had the scientists of Aperture start research on a way to preserve his own consciousness inside of an AI construct. But he wasn't stupid, he saw that the completion of the project would not outpace his own life expectancy. So, he made a plan. Should he not survive long enough to be put inside the machine, then his replacement should be Caroline, his goodhearted assistant. It's known that this is what happened due to the ending song, where GLaDOS says, "One day they woke me up/so I could live forever."

[@mainta]

@Rebecca Loader oh yeah, it was definitely against her will. In addition to that, there’s an audio file somewhere of Caroline arguing that this isn’t what she wants - the creators apparently said that there was supposed to be more to it (like screaming and pleading) but it sounded too much like r//pe (I heard that the voice actress didn’t want to do it? I’m not sure exactly though). Pretty dark :”

[@kevinxninja8782]

Cave is more of a psychopath than Doug Ratman

[@anakinvandyke]

Maiyannaise damn, changes my whole view of this game but I still am amazed by the story

[@ayjanu]

@@caitybelle16 I can answer that question. J.K. Simmons, the man who voiced Cave Johnson, found those extra lines in the script to be too dark, so he was uncomfortable recording them, refusing to do it. As Ellen McClain had already recorded a few of her lines from that part, my guess is that they were simply left unused (among the various other unused lines that can be found among the data).

[@Angiesunshine13]

Caroline is confirmed as Glados, if you listen to her while she's a potato she says stuff like "why does that sound so familiar? did I kill her? Is she- Oh my god!" as if she realized it, she also sounds just like Caroline (minus the robotic sounds)

[@Omega-jg4oq]

And the fact that Glados can delete Caroline so casually at the end of the game like there are just bunch of files even tho it's a literal Human bieng conscience got transported to an AI which it is truly terrifying, it's like she no longer exists

[@Duck_side]

The game literally tells you that Caroline's consciousness was uploaded into glados, it's literally a huge part of the story....

The part with the potato is absolutely wrong. Chell was one of many children made a potato related science expermient during the "Bring your daughter to work day" at Aperture Science. Chell's potato is the one that exploded in growth and grew through the roof and it still remains there. So yeah, in the end, Glados can be stuck in absolutely any potato EXCEPT for the one Chell originally brought to Apterture.

[@arekdevss]

As you walk past Chell's potato experiment Wheatley says something along the lines of "That explains why this place is overrun with potatoes, guess you wouldnt run out of food being stuck here" (dont quote me on that) but replayed yesterday and think thats what it says. Anyway, that would mean more potatoes have grown from that original experiment providing food for Doug and a potato body for GlaDos. But it is a bit of a foreshadowing that the only potato powered by electricity that got out of hand is coincidentally by Chell and then her mother becomes a machine powered by electricity that got out of hand and is eventually put into a potato. Just another reference to their relationship, oh and all the other potato experiments are untouched so it couldnt have been them that were used either

[@raphaelsanchez7386]

There’s also the chance it could just be a potato. Like, a normal potato. There’s no evidence it comes from the experiment, or implication

[@arekdevss]

Yeah completely agree, they mightve just had some supply of potatoes or whatever, we'll never know tho!

[@almirradical2873]

If we saw closely, we saw this sentence. "Special ingredient from Dad." And it shows the Aperture Science logo..... but does this mean Chell is a daughter of Cave and Caroline, or an employee that either died or got forced to carry tests....? This shows that we can't know everything in the universe.....

[@tylerthornton2161]

I'm not gonna lie, I agree with the potato thing, it's the Moon thing I don't get. I THINK that Chell actually shot a portal to the moon, was about to die in the infinite cold depths of space, GLaDOS pulled her back, leaving Wheatly to die, and then Chell was knocked unconscious.

When I first heard the turret talk about Prometheus' myth I was actually kind of convinced it spoke about Caroline/GlaDOS. Prometheus was indeed punished for his sins by being tied to Caucasus and his internals being eternally pecked by crows (until Hercules came by). However there are two translations of Prometheus. The one is of Theogony, in which Prometheus is portrayed as selfish and wanting to surpass Zeus by giving humans fire and knowledge. But in Protagoras' version, Prometheus is wrongly punished since all he did was to help humankind survive and did it out of pure concern. I think both of these versions could fit with the whole Caroline-Cave story if more were brought up in the surface (Depending on their relationship and if indeed Chell is "humankind")

"Weighted" Companion cube. b. It is a "Companion". c. The faces in the pictures replaced with cubes could suggest that they are now cubes! Either put there by Ratman or by Glados.

[@jeim376]

There’s another secret I know of: In the music track, “Ghost of Rattman” (I believe this is the name, but it may be something different), there is an overlay of a man yelling what seems like nonsense; however, the noise is actually a garbled message, which, until a number of years after the release of Portal 2, could not be decoded. We now have the audio decoded to an extent where we are at least somewhat certain of most of it. It’s pretty obvious by the name that it is Doug Rattman speaking, so it can be assumed by the words “Uncle Johnson” that he is Cave Johnson’s nephew (he, of course, could be related to another person with the last name Johnson, but he also refers to him as someone superior, and we know that if he worked at Aperture Science, Cave was his boss, so it seems pretty unlikely). If Chell is Cave’s daughter, and Doug is his nephew, that would mean Chell and Doug are cousins. So the family tree is complete!

[@ii.1308]

Entity_303 bruh

[@ember-brandt]

It's never confirmed by Valve that Cave and Caroline were, in fact, together in that sense - let alone that Chell is their daughter (even though that is admittedly a favorite fan theory of mine). And because "Uncle Johnson" is based off of fan translations, and not actually confirmed by Valve to be part of what Doug Rattmann was, in fact, saying -- that is also not canon. Still interesting, though.

Can't blame Caroline for killing everyone. She was forced into an AI state because Cave wanted her to be the next leader of "future science". She screamed and cried, no one listened. They just put her in the chair and continued their work because of Cave's demands, regardless of Caroline's quarrels and screams. No one cared for her to get her out, so why should she care about them and what they did to her? I do still feel bad she couldn't remember who she was, not remembering anything about her past life with Cave and Chell, the traumatic stress put on her, and even getting rid of her own daughter. Personally, she could've kept Chell, no more testing for her, reconnect with her, etc. Spoiler alert: U know I'd love to if I was GLaDOS. But then, that may complicate things with all the other people in that vault you find in multiplayer and Chell may intervene. Even so, GLaDOS may reuse Chell again without thinking or because of such a strong feeling to keep testing until all "subjects" are dead.

Actually, there is a pretty good chance that doug is actually in the labs still, beacuse if you go to his den in GLaDOS's test chamber 17 in portal 2, you can go into the room with all the cups, stand above the fan, and hear him ranting about chell, Cave Johnson, and the Borealis.

Right, the AI transfer wasn't ready by the time Cave was dying, so he has the audio giving his people instructions to put Caroline in the AI even if she doesn't want to (in a misguided attempt to make Caroline immortal)

[@arturtruu7497]

Not only that, Chell is in no way Cave and Caroline's daughter seeing as GLADoS was created after Cave's death and weeks before bring your daughter to work day so Chell couldn't have possibly used a component from daddy's work provided by cave because he was dead by that point PS i'm aware of adoptions

[@alishagee4044]

Hate to be a buzz kill man, but no. Chell being the daughter of Cave and Caroline is the most popular theory. Doug comes into it and is commonly believed to be the adopted father to her once Cave died because of moon rock poisoning and Caroline was forced to become GLaDOS. That's why he tries to save Chell, at least, that's what is most commonly seen around.

GLaDOS thanks Chell for helping her find where Caroline lives inside her AI then she deletes it, but I don't think she really did delete Caroline, I think she did that to taunt Chell, as she has done many many times before, because if she deleted Caroline, she deleted the system that allows her AI to function and make decisions, so she wouldn't have been able to continue talking, she'd basically become an Alexa

@@terrabite7685 She didn't do it to taunt her, she did it to get her to leave. Caroline wanted Chell to escape, GlaDOS just made sure she had no reason to return. While you, as the player, want to escape, you do it by solving the puzzles and you like doing that. They sort of break the fourth wall here by stating that Chell wants to do these tests. The whole song at the end of Portal 2 is meant to push Chell away and remove any incentives to return. If Caroline truly was Chell's mother, then deleting her would mean that her mother is gone and that she has nothing left at Aperture. Or at least, this is how I interpreted it.

[@daxterarce6070]

In a good way though. Thanks 4 making this video!

[@wojtekpolska1013]

13:58 Chell wasnt put in the chamber as a child, she was working there as a test subject in Portal 1, and Portal 2 is AFTER Portal 1. also you dont grow in relaxation chamber, because if that was the case, she would've been long dead, because she was there for few thousand years. And Portal 1 test chamber was short-term chamber, so that means she got in this capsule few days before, because that was common experiment routine.

[@wojtekpolska1013]

@Bunbunfam A) this might just be another kid (not like there is only 1 Chell in the world) B) she might be a kid of one of Aperture workers but that doesnt mean she was put in the chamber the day of bringing your daughter to work day. Option A is more probable, because as far as we know Chell was abandoned as a child

Here's some dark secrets you don't know about (that is also more relevant than everything in this video repeating the same things we've already heard a hundred times before): Out of all the puzzle creators on the Portal 2 workshop, I hold the world record for designing the most maps (490+ puzzles). Valve made a promise to the entire Portal 2 community that they would officially recognize good puzzle creators to make sure their content gets the recognition is deserves, but now it's 7 years later and Valve still hasn't done anything to make good on that promise (they basically lied). Less than 1% of the maps posted on the Portal 2 workshop are actually good puzzles, and NONE of these good maps are popular, their rightful position instead being hogged by garbage front page fodder maps (and again, Valve doesn't care to do anything to fix it).
