Mel is a removed character from Portal 2.

When the elevator reaches the surface, the destroyed, heavily overgrown Aperture is revealed, with Mel looking in shock at what the world has become in her absence. Virgil calls an elevator to set Mel free, and they share a small moment of friendship before she leaves, watching him go. Regardless, AEGIS is destroyed and Mel returns to Virgil at an elevator shaft. Once done, she crawls into AEGISвЂ™ mainframe and shuts it down from the inside, but not before revealing that AEGISвЂ™ primary target was GLaDOS herself, after she killed all the scientists. Inside of AEGISвЂ™ offices, water that Virgil sent up earlier has destroyed a quarter of the server blocks, and Mel must destroy the rest with the previously created friendly turrets. When approaching AEGIS, Virgil cannot accompany Mel, as there are no management rails. Together, they agree to take down AEGIS by manufacturing friendly turrets and training them to attack its memory banks. Virgil attempts to hack in- with Mel eventually activating the admin override. With VirgilвЂ™s plan working, Mel continues to go through the ruined test tracks, eventually leading to an office where they can access the security systems. Virgil plans to hide for a while in the overgrown tracks GLaDOS made, to confuse its scanners. The assailant- which is revealed as the Aperture Employee Guardian and Intrusion System, or AEGIS- takes over many of these testing tracks in more attempts to kill the pair. They manage to escape and enter the newer facility above the salt mines, while Virgil attempts to guide Mel through increasingly dangerous testing tracks. With Virgil rescued, he and Mel have to face the sudden flooding of Old Aperture by an unknown, all-powerful assailant.

With his help, Mel ascends through Old Aperture and rescues Virgil, who has fallen off his rail.

However, as it becomes more obvious that it was not an earthquake that destroyed the facility, the voice gives up and reveals himself as Virgil, a maintenance core. Guided by вЂњCave JohnsonвЂќ, Mel picks up an early version of a Portal Gun, and then follows his instructions to вЂњkeep testing another shaftвЂќ. She is woken up an unknown amount of years later by a voice positing itself as Cave Johnson, in a ruined facility. She follows his instructions to an Aperture Short-Term Relaxation Vault, where she is supposed to sleep for only a few minutes. At the beginning of the game, Mel arrives at Aperture ScienceвЂ™s constructed city, guided along her way by recordings of Cave Johnson.
