==Description== {{Listen |filename=Glados-welcome.ogg |title=GLaDOS welcomes the player to the Aperture Science Enrichment Center in ''Portal'' |description=GLaDOS's voice is based on Ellen McLain attempting to mimic the playback of her original lines through a digitization process followed by further computer modulation. |format=[[Ogg]]}} For much of ''Portal'', GLaDOS is a voice which acts as a narrator and guide for players. Her voice is robotic, but distinctly female. Her personality has been described as passive-aggressive, witty, and sinister. She has a system of morality cores installed into her, in order to prevent her from killing anyone. Eventually, once the player encounters her, she is revealed to be a complex computer, with robotic parts hanging from a larger device. The device displays rapidly changing images on a series of monitors, an example of the images being pieces of cake. Upon removing the first morality core, GLaDOS' voice becomes less robotic and more sensual. It is revealed in the later portions of the game that she was originally conceived as a means of competing with their competitors, [[Black Mesa Research Facility|Black Mesa]]. She was created as a device to de-ice fuel lines. However, she also has a fully-functional disk operating system. The AI of GLaDOS is installed as the Enrichment Center's central control computer, mounted in a large, sealed chamber alongside control consoles and an incinerator.
