However, the song and portions of post-credit scenes suggests that GLaDOS is still functional, and despite having been apparently destroyed by Chell, is 'not even angry' at that prospect, having considered the monitoring of Chell's performance through the test chambers as a 'huge success', regardless of the destruction caused by Chell and the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device being released into the outside world, for those that are 'still alive'. The Combine invasion of Earth from the was also hinted in the song by GLaDOS ('Go ahead and leave me, I think I'd prefer to stay inside. Maybe you'll find someone else to help you.

Portal Still Alive Walkthrough
The first Portal is still alive! This collection contains all twenty courses from the first Portal, remade for Portal 2. I started working on this project the very first day they released the PETI, my goal being to recreat the original courses to the best of the editor's abilities without using other things like hammer. I tried to stay as close as possible to the look, feel, and playstyle of each map. Feedback is appreciated and will now be the primary source of improvements on the chambers, since I'm out of ideas.Let me know what you think! Enjoy!I have now edited most of the chambers using BEEMOD. I HIGHLY recommend getting it.
I've added things in like warm lights, real doors, checkpoints, event triggers, etc. Don't worry, YOU DO NOT NEED BEEMOD TO PLAY THE CHAMBERS. They will play just like normal with no issues. However, in order to be able to put in high energy pellets, I would have to manually upload the chambers, meaning that they would not update, but start from scratch. I'm not sure I want to lose my viewcount and subscribers on those chambers just for that; the lasers have been working fine.We made a trailer! Using the new courses, we recreated the old trailer from portal, and it's super cool!if you like it, share it with people!-Fat Ninja Walrus.
