1943:
Cave Johnson is a shower curtain salesman.
1944:
Cave Johnson buys a salt mine to build Aperture Science.
1947:
Cave Johnson starts up Aperture Science.
1980's:
After testing the Conversion Gel, Cave Johnson gets sick and orders his engineers to create artificial intelligence, which is shown on Portal 2 Lab Rat page 11.
Cave Johnson wants to put his mind inside it, and says if he dies, he wants Caroline to run Aperture Science. He also implies Caroline's mind might also be put in his computer. Cave Johnson dies. I believe his DoD is after 1986 since the last science sphere has this date on it.
While building the AI (Glados) Cave ordered, Aperture Science engineers find out that Glados tries to kill everybody using neurotoxin the second she's turned on (Lab Rat page 11). So they built a "conscience" sphere to put on her, which is shown on Lab Rat page 14.
Glados ends up killing everybody in Aperture Science during the "Bring your daughter to work day".
<centuries passes by>
Portal 1 begins:
Chell wakes up in the Aperture Science labs and Glados forces her to test and eventually tries to kill her.
Chell kills Glados. Chell exits Aperture Science and is dragged back in by some sphere (Lab Rat page 13).
(I believe this sphere is Weathley, since the sphere's color is pink- the same color on the "conscience" sphere the engineers built (Lab Rat page 14). In Portal 2, Glados tells Weathley that he was the sphere engineers put on her to regulate her).
Chell is put in stasis in the "relaxation" center.
<some centuries passes by>
Portal 2 begins:
Chell is awaken by Weathley
Chell and Weathley powers up Glados
Weathley goes crazy when Chell puts him in charge when attempting to defeat Glados
Glados and Chell partner up to kill Weathley
Chell kills Weathley and escapes from Aperture Science Labs
Chell's origin:
Not much is known. Her name is shown in a drawing from the "Bring your daughter to work day".
