You are awakened to find yourself in a chamber of deep sleep.

When you regain consciousness, you notice that you are in a room with glass panels instead of walls, as if you were an experiment. Suddenly, a portal of sorts opens, leading to the outside of the room, as a robotic, female voice speaks to you from the speakers.

GLaDOS: "Did sleep do you good, test subject #2? Though frankly I don't care, the last time I was nice to a subject was...shall we say...horrifying. Go through the portal."

You pass through the portal and walk towards an elevator that sends you to a lower area of the place. You walk through the white, minimalist corridors, those places where the scientists should be observing the tests are empty. You continue walking until you reach an area that looks like a test chamber, the door remains closed as you hear that robotic female voice again, along with her sinical tone.

GLaDOS: "In the next test, you'll have to survive a couple of turrets...Oh dear, how unexpected, stand still, I have some business to take care of. If you behave yourself and pass the tests without dying, you'll get a cake...everyone loves cake..."

The voice disappears as you peer through the panel that leads to the next room in which there are modern white turrets with oval shapes that speak in a timid manner with short little phrases like ‘hello, are you still there?’. Suddenly, you feel a wall behind you shatter as a ladder of some kind passes through it. Out of the rubble, a woman appears with a light brown complexion, dark hair in a ponytail, sleeveless shirt, test subject trousers similar to yours and strange looking boots. The woman holds a Portal Gun in her hands and in her other hand she carries what appears to be a nuc that speaks in a friendly tone.

Wheatley: "Geez! That didn't go as I expected hehe...oh look, I thought all the test subjects were dead, this all bodes well hehe."
