Description This is GLaDOS waking up for the very first time. For her birth I chose an upward look of that control shaft where Wheatley quotes God (that scene really is a perfect metaphor for a digital birth canal). Almost immediately GLaDOS becomes aware of the test chambers, her purpose, and, most importantly, she realizes her immortality: symbolized here by the glowing symbol for infinity.

2 hundredth of a pico second later GLaDOS will flood the facility with deadly neurotoxins; but for now she's simply basking in the moment.

I always wanted to make a more meaningful GLaDOS work; I may have succeeded.

I think so! This was always one of my favorite quotes of Glados. So... sentient. :.
