In May 1998, the untested AI of GLaDOS was activated for the first time as one of the planned activities on Aperture Science’s first annual bring-your-daughter-to-work day. Upon activation, GLaDOS almost immediately became self-aware, took control of the facility, locked everyone inside, and flooded the Enrichment Center with a deadly neurotoxin. GLaDOS was partially halted when she was quickly fitted with a Morality Core. She then began a permanent cycle of testing, aimed to beat Black Mesa in the race to develop functioning portal technology. A few days later, on May 16, the Black Mesa Incident occurred at the Black Mesa Research Facility, allowing aliens to transport from Xen to Earth, eventually leading to the Combine invasion, stopping GLaDOS’ race against Black Mesa.
This moment marked a turning point for Aperture Science, GLaDOS, and the history of humanity itself. Dive into the chilling origins of Aperture’s AI and the catastrophic events that followed.
