== GlaDOS gassed the Enrichment center because she was upset about what Cave did to Caroline. ==
GlaDOS woke up angry and gassed the Enrichment Center not because she was just some insane AI, like we're led to believe, but because the last thing that happened before the personality download was her being "raped". Judging by the deleted audio, she was quite upset. She wanted vengeance, and though she wasn't sure why she was upset, she decided to kill everyone inside the Enrichment Center.
** Or, going off of that, GLaDOS tried to kill everyone because ''she was angry that Caroline was forced into her''. Hey, I don't think you'd want to have to share your body/brain with part of the soul of another entity either. [[Harry Potter|Come to think of it,]] [[Harry Potter and Thethe Deathly Hallows (novel)|that sounds a bit familiar...]]
== The bird is a mutated/evolved specimen of ''Corvus corax'', with much higher intelligence and technological understanding. ==
* During the Unreveal, when Wheatley doesn't explain how he survived being crushed, he starts to mention a bird. The bird—call it ''Corvus sapiens''—found Wheatley's body, which was still intact enough to be reconstructed. The crow did so. Doesn't explain how he got back on his Management Rail, but it's a start. Also, consider the Animal King display... perhaps Aperture wasn't far off the mark with that guess.
Line 138:
** they aren't necessarily a beta, you have to keep in mind that the turrets in portal are meant for testing and that while they can be deadly killing is not the main purpose they are just meant to serve as another obstacle, while the sentry guns are meant for fighting battles and wars, its the difference between a hunting rifle and a m4 carbine,
 
== ''Wheatley the personality core is [[Brain Uploading|the backup]] of Doug Rattmann. ==
GLaDOS mentions that Chell, and presumably all Aperture employees, have a neural backup somewhere. After Rattmann died, some time before or after Portal, his backup was activated inside the personality core. The name "Wheatley" is probably a nickname, or perhaps the backup was incomplete and so he forgot his own name. His voice is oddly human, even for an Aperture AI, suggesting he was once human. He hates GLaDOS, and seems to know her for what she truly is- like the Ratman. He sounds almost awed in the clip when GLaDOS mentions that Chell killed her- obviously, Rattmann would certainly be pleased to meet someone who could fight the all-controlling AI. He seems determined on escaping, just like Rattmann was. He seems mildly crazy- not GLaDOS- crazy, but certainly a similar kind of crazy to the Ratman.
* It would explain his paranoid {{spoiler|[[Villainous Breakdown]]}} at the end...
Line 150:
** {{spoiler|Wheatley doesn't die, but he does end up catapulted into space after the mainframe drives him mad.}}
 
== ''GLaDOS was built by a genius from [[Genius: The Transgression]]. ==
She is an orphaned wonder, as is the portal gun. Chell is a beholden who has lost her memory.
** Not only that, Cave Johnson is the genius. It explains why he believes science is about why not, rather than why.
