''The system known as GLaDOS has finished growing, and its processors now resemble a fully-grown human neural network. However, there was a problem. It was hoped that GLaDOS would develop its own AI as it grew, but this was not the case. The basic programs never expanded and changed into an AI as was planned; instead, they remain small and simplistic, with practically no change. The power of this new type of computer is incredible, but without an AI to utilize it to its full potential, it is worthless in the long run. Research on portal technology has continued to be disappointingly slow due to the failure of the experimental AIs to help and develop. With GLaDOS's failure to develop an organic, adaptable AI, the entire system is on the verge of being deemed a failure, but fate intervened. ''

''The researcher whose genetic material GLaDOS was based off of became horribly injured in a labratory accident. Now, this was a disaster for the already-troubled portal research, because she was the strongest in the most important fields to this technology. However, as she lay dying, medical teams unable to save her, her colleagues decided to try something radical. They realized that this was a unique opportunity for science, as well as to save someone's consciousness from death, and therefore scrambled to hook her brain up to the failed GLaDOS neural network. Working quickly, they were able to transfer the entirety of Caroline's mind into the dormant GLaDOS shortly before her physical body died. ''

''Once Caroline was fully uploaded into GLaDOS, the system was turned on. At first, nothing happened, but soon her consciousness began to take hold, and Caroline was alive once more as the AI of GLaDOS. This proved to be a wonderful boost for the portal program, as Caroline was able to use her preexisting knowledge combined with the advanced computing capabilities of GLaDOS to make far more progress in portal research. Within several days, the portal program went from being on the verge of failure to nearly having a working prototype ready. However, with the prototype nearing completion, several of the old default programs began kicking in within GLaDOS, programs from before Caroline was uploaded into GLaDOS. And thats when the problems started.......''
