Poll: portal teories

[sparg]

so i want to know what you think the backstory for portal is
in my opinion, and from what i gathered from aperture website the following happened
they turned glados on, glados goes self aware and starts spraying neurotoxin
they implant the moralaty core and glados starts testing the employees until they die
up until there it was OFFICIAL, now ill start speculating
chell is not a employee as glados informs us. she might be a daugther of a scientist, and glados activation was the bring-your-daugther-to-work-day.
aperture is always in constant figth with the combine because it is one of the most advanced facilities in terms of teleportation.
ADDITIONAL OFFICIAL Information
chell was kept alive trougth stasis
portal was set about 20 years after the events of half life
chell HAD TO BE in aperture for there was a 100% lockdown after glados became sentient

i'm going to go with what was put forth in Portal Prelude as to what the backstory is, more or less.

Before I start on topic, two things. First, welcome you to the Escapist Sparg. Secondly, we enjoy reading posts that are grammatically correct. Just saying

Secondly, it is my opinion that Chell is the daughter of the only female former Black Mesa scientist, seen here:

That top photo is from Issac Kleiner's lab. The bottom photo is in Episode 2, which shows this woman, as well as the man on the far left, in front of the Borealis.

Furthermore, I think that Chell is the sister of Alex Vance.

You might be thinking "WHOA! Dude! What!?", but look at these pictures:

The top is Eli Vance and his wife, who looks similar to the Black Mesa turned Aperture Science researcher. The next two are close-ups of Alex and Chell.

Anyone else think they look similar?

That's my two bits, anyways.

the combine appeared AFTER the first collapse, Aperture Science never competed with the combine

I believe Aperture Science used to make shower curtains, but named their company Aperture Science to sound more interesting.

Then the boss decided to do 3 projects that were more interesting.
One involved the boss thinking in different times at once.
I can't remember the second one. May have been GlaDoS
The third was the Portal device.

I can't remember very clearly.
