Thought splurge.
We don't specifically know how long Chell is in stasis for, but we do know that Gordon was in stasis for around twenty years. There's nothing to say that Chell was not in stasis for a similar or the same length of time. So my thought of the day was, when Gordon sleeps, Chell sleeps.
This also made me wonder, as it's not mentioned anywhere in Portal 2, how or when the stasis technology was developed. Of their notable achievements, only the portal device gained any attention, becoming their main development area. As far as I would think, portal technology probably wouldn't assist with stasis, unless you are holding a person outside of space and time in the space between portal exits (?). Rather like one might expect G-Man to do it...
G-Man's appearances in the Half Life series are often accompanied by crows, the birds also being a large feature of Portal 2. If we are to take Valve's hints as read, then G-Man is or was around in some way in Aperture. Is G-Man responsible for guiding Aperture's seemingly impossible technological advancements, and for opening our dimension to the demons from beyond via the Borealis before Black Mesa?
G-Man is of undetermined origin. He does say in one speech that the weapons Gordon carries are property of the government, though not which government. He certainly seems not of this Earth,
Hm.
