This was meant to "re-energize" Portal and bridge the gap between it and Portal 2, as Chell awakens back inside Aperture Laboratories in the sequel. Now, instead of closing directly with a fade to black, Chell is first dragged away by the Party Escort Bot as it thanks her for assuming the party escort submission position. In the update made to Portal on March 3, 2010, the update notes simply stating "Added valuable asset retrieval", this original ending concept was implemented. Wolpaw states that this would have been a "super happy ending" for the escort robot, albeit a less happy one for the player.
The final payoff would have been that, once Chell had finally defeated GLaDOS and collapsed on the parking lot ground, the party escort robot that had been following her all this time would finally drag her back to their "party" inside the facility. Make the correct party escort submission position decision.Īccording to Erik Wolpaw, the party associate mentioned by GLaDOS was originally going to be watching over Chell and be partially heard and glimpsed during the second half of Portal, waiting for her to assume the party escort submission position. This event was witnessed by Rattmann during the Portal 2: Lab Rat comic, revealing the Party Escort Bot's appearance for the first time. At the very end of the game, however, when Chell finds herself lying in the Enrichment Center parking lot after destroying GLaDOS, the party associate finally comes to pick her up and drags her away back inside the facility, thanking her for assuming the party escort submission position. As Chell disregards GLaDOS' words, the party associate is never seen at that point.
GLaDOS then orders Chell to assume the party escort submission position by lying down on her stomach and putting her arms at her side so that the associate may collect her. There, she says that they are throwing a party in honor of Chell's tremendous success and that a party associate will arrive shortly. The party associate is first mentioned by GLaDOS after Chell escapes certain death at the end of Test Chamber 19.
