Forum:Turning Caroline into GLaDOS

So Cave Johnson died before they (A.S.) were able to finish their neural mapping initiative, and he *demanded* that Caroline run the place after he dies. Also, we know that Caroline's mind was somehow uploaded and made into GLaDOS. According to the backstory they started the GLaDOS project, Synthetic portion first, in 1986 and the Genetic component in 1996 (in 1997 she was at v3.11). Then a series of failed starts where she tries to kill everyone up until the year 200X: That year she was "fully complete" and brought online only to lock the place down on BYDTWD, and get stuck with a morality core.

There's several unused sound clips from Caroline including "Mr. Johnson, I don't want this!" and others. Valve failed to include other sound clips and the voice actors for Carline and Cave refused to voice all the lines for the plot-line where Caroline is turned into GLaDOS because it was too graphic. It reminded them of rape when telling the story of a woman being forcibly interfaced with a computer and having her mind and body taken-over.

This leads me to think that GLaDOS instantly tries to kill everyone [upon her self-actualization] every time she goes online because she realized it was those people, the Aperture Science employees, who were responsible for this.

Cave Johnson would be long dead until GLaDOS gets access to the facility neurotoxin delivery system, so I assume he died on his own... but what happened to Caroline, chronologically speaking? Was she interfaced with the neural mapping mechanism in 1986 [around the time Cave should be dying], finally forced into the procedure by staff acting under Cave's posthumous orders? Then, why is there a 10 year gap before the "Genetic" part comes into play? I thought the "Genetic" part is the human mind being uploaded into a computer, but it seems like they're calling that the "DOS" part of GLaDOS.

So what did they do in 1996? Bring Caroline's body out of cryo-storage and hook her brain back up to her synthetic AI self? Alexcranson 19:43, May 16, 2011 (UTC)
