Hey guys, Lunamon810 here! And this is (the rewrite of) the prologue of Portal 3: Saving Aperture! I saw people liking this story again, and I realized how much I liked it, and figured why not write on it? So this is my new attempt at writing a Portal 3 story. So enjoy!~


"Hello Chell," The male therapist said, smiling.

"Hi Doctor Matthews!" The little girl burst out, grinning.

"Hello Caroline," He replied, smiling. Chell smiled at her adoptive daughter, who she adopted about a year ago. She had adopted her for several reasons, mostly because she looked similar to and had the same name as the human side of the robot who tried to kill her three years ago. GLaDOS- also known as Caroline.

"I have some great news for you Chell," Chell raised her eyebrows at this. "We've located Aperture Science, and we've been given permission to shut it down."

Chell's eyes widened, her eyebrows remaining raised. Thoughts swarmed her head. Would GLaDOS be shut down? Or would GLaDOS kill everyone who got in there before they got the chance? Or would she sentence them all to a life of testing?

"D-docter, I thought I've been perfectly clear in the past," Chell said. "GLaDOS can not be stopped. She'll kill you before you can take a second step in the facility. Can't you just leave her alone? She doesn't want to leave Aperture Science, so she'll be unable to cause anyone harm. Aperture Science is layers upon layers of building, it will take forever to find her anyways!"

"Government officials know about her now, and they require that it be shut down."

"She. She be shut down," Chell said, her tone strict and eyes narrowed.

"I thought you didn't care about this robot."

"She's the only link I have left to who my real parents were," Chell lied. "And I told you, she triggered the Caroline part in her. She didn't really delete her, or she wouldn't have let me go."

"What?" Caroline asked, and Chell turned to face her. She'd told her about GLaDOS, but never told her about the human side of GLaDOS named Caroline.

"Well, you see sweety, GLaDOS used to be a human named Caroline-"

"Really!?" Caroline asked excitedly, interrupting Chell. "How did she become a robot?"

"I'll tell you more about it later," Chell turned to Doctor Matthews. "Can I at least go with you to shut her down?"

"Of course." That was it. Chell had to prepare to go back to the place she tried so hard to leave. Aperture Science. To save GLaDOS. With her daughter.
