Getting back to the story of the games, GLaDOS still wanted revenge on the scientists for putting Her into a machine, so She craftily hatched Her Bring-Your-Daughter-to-Work Day plan.
More development was likely made on Her ‘final’ body at this point, and construction on it was very likely started. Still extremely murderous and suffering from the mental anguish of being put into a computer, GLaDOS begins to cooperate with the scientists for a time. Its design is much closer to how She appears in Portal 2 than in Portal, suggesting it was created after Her initial activation.)Įventually, the scientists found the right combination of Personality Cores to mostly subdue Her (Morality, Curiosity, Intelligence, and Anger). They could’ve been using this chassis to test and develop code in preparation for the construction of Her ‘final’ body. However, instead of having a core plugged into the DOS Mainframe, it was a computer and keyboard.
(Note that the Portal 2 Co-Op DLC does confirm the existence of at least one prototype chassis. This would’ve also meant that development on Her ‘final’ body was slowed or delayed. This obviously presented a problem, so the scientists and engineers got to work coming up with Personality Core-based solutions to keep Her under control. However, something they hadn’t planned for were the violent and murderous tendencies that She exhibited only moments after being turned on. Her body in the first game seems not only severely restricted, but also very prototype-ish, especially compared to Her body in Portal 2. It made me think: What if the body we see GLaDOS inhabiting in the first game was never meant to be Her final one? Perhaps the scientists were so eager to get Her operational in order to finally beat Black Mesa, that they brought Her online in a prototype body while still planning and constructing a better, more well-designed body for Her to inhabit later on. GLaDOS reactivates a room full of Personality Cores and re-captures Aperture Laboratories, filing a letter to Chell, informing her that she is still alive and “not even angry” about Chell’s actions- but not before extinguishing a candle on the cake, which was not a lie after all.”
“Despite GLaDOS’ apparent destruction, only a part of her was destroyed. My theory started when I read this paragraph on the Half-Life Wiki article for Chell: I noticed that there haven’t been a lot of theories that explain why the character models for GLaDOS are different between the two games.
