[Theory] Doug Rattman helped you escape instead of Wheatley

[NSE466]

Warning, this contains spoilers!

So I have a theory that Doug Rattman , the Scientist that survived was with you through the whole game. I believe Doug Rattman is still alive as you can hear him in the last Rattman den.

I strongly believe this because when you escape GlaDOS’s tests you are apparently helped by Wheatley. Later on during your escape Wheatley starts to show that he can’t really hack doors or anything really, this is shown when you are at the turret control centre when he "hacks" the door to the template turret, however it is clear he has not and has just broke the glass. It also shows he cannot hack when you leave the centre and the door is apparently locked, upon walking to it, it opens suggesting it was already open.

He shows it more when you get to the neurotoxin generator, when he tries to hack the neurotoxin to stop it working.

This makes me believe that someone other than him was doing the hacking, GlaDOS at the time wasn't aware on what you were doing behind her back (shutting down the neurotoxin, making the turrets defective etc.) so I couldn't of been her, the only character at that time that could do this was Doug Rattman as he is the only character that has the power to do this.


Do you agree with me? Comment below

Nobody hacked the nerutoxin. Chell broke the pipes with the Portal Gun.

It not true, because, why Ratman not like to go with she?

Yes but before you break the pipes he says he is going to hack it.

and what if Doug Rattman send wheatley, because normal cores wouldn't be programmed to help a test subject to escape... So my theory is that Doug Rattman programmed Wheatley to help Chell, but he didn't thought that wheatley would trait them one he took over the facility... I don't really know, i'ts just a theory.

[Traveydius]

Thats an interesting theory... i would agree on it.

[Taking a break]

Wheatley might have had trouble hacking stuff because he was designed to be stupid.
But becasue he said that he was meant to be looking after the test subjects in that area where you start Portal 2 Doug Rattman might have sent Wheatly to Chell in hopes he will help her escape

[Jimmy Gangster]

Have u guys read the lab rat comic?

[Mrs Kizaru]

Someone said that Rattman actually is dead during the events of Portal 2, and that he might have opened a portal to the Moon (I'm not sure about this last point, but you can see a doodle he made on the wall showing a Companion Cube in the Moon)

This makes sense...Wheatley never did let you look. How would Wheatley even hack a door if he couldn't even use the right commands to the platform (the part where you accidentily wake up GLaDOS)? But one problem, I think in the Lab Rat comic...Rattman dies. So I'm not sure what to make of this.
P.S. I think the part where Wheatley breaks the glass and calls it "hacking", was for comic releif.

what part dose he die? in the end of the comic he goes into a relaxation chamber he didnt die then, but he could have bled to death because of his wounds from the turrets

[FossilHunter]

has anyone read lab rat?

[Straya!]

yeah
