During the early stages of the testing, Chell is granted usage of the Handheld Portal Device (commonly referred to as the "portal gun"), a piece of equipment developed by Aperture Science that allows Chell to create portals that act as gates between each other, allowing Chell to quickly traverse areas or reach normally unreachable places.
