This article lists the '''minor Aperture Science employees and related people''' who have no direct or a minor influence on the ''Portal'' story arc.
==Test Subjects==
===''Portal 2 Lab Rat'' list===
Several Test Subjects appear in a list consulted by Doug Rattmann in ''Portal 2 Lab Rat'', in which he modifies Chell's position.
====S.J. Nye====
His/her Test Subject number was #1 until Rattmann moved Chell from to #1, changing Nye's number to #2.
====Lazarus Grey====
His Test Subject number was #2 until Rattmann moved Chell from to #1, changing Grey's number to #3.
====Leve Rage / Raged====
His/her Test Subject number was #3 until Rattmann moved Chell from to #1, changing Rage's number to #4.
The name is a nod to "http//steamcommunity.com/id/Leveraged/ Leveraged", the nickname of a player who founded the http//valvearg.com/wiki/Valve_ARG_Wiki Valve PotatoFoolsDay ARG Wiki. His Steam account was also "hacked" by GLaDOS during the PotatoFoolsDay ARG|''PotatoFoolsDay'' ARG.http//www.pcgamer.com/2011/04/14/glados-hacking-arg-player-accounts-ominous-messages-emerge/ Glados hacking ARG player accounts, ominous messages emerge on PC Gamer
====Robert C. Knoll====

===Extended Relaxation Annex===
When ATLAS and P-body open the Aperture Science Extended Relaxation Annex|Extended Relaxation Annex for GLaDOS, hundreds of Test Subjects in long-term relaxation are discovered, as seen in the http//www.youtube.com/watch?v=stQeEmvCo80 outro video of ''Portal 2''’s co-op mode. Each Test Subject has their name on their Stasis Chamber, two of which able to be glimpsed. All Test Subjects are killed off by GLaDOS accidentally after she underestimated their fragility while attempting to transform them into killing machines.
====John Applegate====
Applegate is the first to been identified.
====L.D. Turner====
Turner is the second to been identified.

===Other===
====Test Subject ====
Test Subject is featured on a clipboard found in the Aperture Science Enrichment Center|Enrichment Center in ''Portal''. It appears to be a chicken that failed the tests it took. It is unknown if these tests involved the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device, as they are never mentioned elsewhere, and no dead chicken(s) can be found across the Enrichment Center. Finding the clipboard in ''Portal Still Alive'' will unlock the "Tests Like Chicken" Achievement. The clipboard is seen again in ''Portal 2'' near an Aperture Science Emergency Intelligence Incinerator|incinerator in the Turret Manufacturing.
====Test Subject ====
Test Subject is featured on a clipboard that can be found in the Enrichment Center in ''Portal'', as well as near the Aperture Science Emergency Intelligence Incinerator|Emergency Intelligence Incinerator within the facility turret production lines. apparently passed the tests he/she took.
It was previously speculated that Chell might be Test Subject 234, since "234" is featured on the bed in her Relaxation Vault, but this was disproved in ''Portal 2 Lab Rat'', which states that Chell was Test Subject until Doug Rattmann changed her to Test Subject #1.

==Other personnel==
===Janitor Bob===
This character is not canon When the ''Portal 2'' development team had to come up with old-looking versions for all the important gameplay props, such as button panels, doors, cubes - basically everything the player could interact with in Test Shaft 09, they came up with the fictional character of "Janitor Bob". Without any scientific knowledge, he would be responsible for maintaining the old parts of the Enrichment Center, fixing everything with duct tape, a screwdriver, and everything he could get his hands on, resulting in something not particularly aesthetic, but at least that still works. Whenever the developers got stuck designing props for the ''Portal 2'' chapter ''The Fall'', they would ask themselves "''Well, how would Bob build it?''".
===Jerry===
Jerry is a nanobot (and is consequently unseen by the player) who temporarily employs Wheatley to help him and the rest of his nanobot work crew rebuild parts of the Aperture Science Enrichment Center|Enrichment Center. It is not known what he looks like due to his microscopic size, but his presence is indicated by a garbled, sped-up, vaguely mechanical voice. He apparently gets angry at Wheatley for knocking a girder out of position as he follows the lift that Chell is riding, and fires him. Wheatley then claims that he has a prejudiced work site.
When reversing and slowing down Jerry's voice, one will hear garbled, cryptic messages seeming to involve scheduled testing on Tuesday.{{YouTube|0hQeyJ9CRXg|Portal 2 - Jerry (Nano-bot worker) - Hidden messages}}
===Karla===
Karla, nicknamed "the complainer", is a minor employee, featured on a poster in Test Shaft 09. She is displeased by the fact that her new boss is a robot.

=="Bring your Daughter to Work Day" girls==
When Chell visits the Employee Daycare Center on her way to the Neurotoxin Generator with Wheatley during ''Portal 2''’s chapter ''The Escape'', she comes across the remains of a "Bring Your Daughter to Work Day" science fair during which several experiments were showcased by employees' daughters (including herself), mostly on potato batteries. The list follows the in-game order.
===Jessica===
Jessica experimented on providing power to a small calculator with three potatoes.

===Beth===
Beth experimented on providing power to a light bulb with one potato that went flat.

Alix experimented on providing power to a clock radio with one potato.

===Laura===
Laura compared power provided by a potato and a lemon.

===Heather===
Heather is the only one who did not make a potato battery but a "baking soda volcano" instead, with baking soda and vinegar (http//chemistry.about.com/cs/howtos/ht/buildavolcano.htm an actual experiment), to see if a baking soda volcano is as cool as a real one (she concludes it is not, the bright side being it cannot burn people). Wheatley comments "''Baking Soda Volcano. Well, at least it's not a potato battery, I'll give it that. Still not terrifically original, though. Not exactly primary research, even within the child sciences. I'm guessing this wasn't one of the scientist's children. I don't want to be snobby, but let's be honest It's got manual laborer written all over it. I'm not saying they're not as good as the professionals. They're just a lot dumber.''"

===Katharine===
Katharine experimented on providing power to some sort of hard disk drive with one potato.
