There once was a kingdom called Aperture. Ruled by King Cave and Queen Caroline, it was a large and beautiful country. They were fair rulers, and everyone in their kingdom was happy. Except for one.
Her name was Glados, and she was the product of science gone wrong. She started as a simple scientist, working for the royal family, until she became to interested in learning. Science overtook her life, and she fled from the palace, and lived in a small castle in the outskirts of Aperture. But, as she kept herself locked up in there, he love for science grew even more. She loved to test anything she could get her hands on, whether it was cats or small robots or even plants. She loved science.
On one particular day, she was in her library, searching for a book of experiments she had misplaced. She hadn't done any experiments in a while, and she was beginning to feel 'The Itch', as she called it. Running her hand over the spines of worn out books, she stopped at one.
"The Sun and the Moon," she said, reading the title. She had read it several times, and it was just simple astronomy facts. However, due to her recent experiment with trying to upload personalities into robots, it intrigued her.
"Hmm, I wonder if it's possible for day and night to have personalities... or rather, personalities to be like day and night..." she thought out loud. The idea put a smile on her face and she rushed to her desk, looking for her blueprints to her favorite robot design.
Suddenly, the thought hit her. Doing this experiment with robots would be too easy. Just reprogramming them to be how she wanted would be too simple for her to consider it actual science.
Humans, however, would be worthy enough for this experiment. It would require training, and raising two people in the right conditions. It would be hard and take many years, but she wanted to do it. For science.
With another smile, Glados pulled an empty notebook off the shelf, and began to plan.
