Revision as of 20:49, 3 May 2015

Test Subject #042 is a Test Subject featured on a clipboard found in the Enrichment Center. #42 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.

Trivia

Finding the clipboard in Portal: Still Alive will unlock the "Tests Like Chicken" Achievement.
- The clipboard is seen again in Portal 2 near an incinerator at the turret production lines.
In the "labs" folder can be found a file named chicken_tube.wav. However, it reuses the Demoman's Grenade Launcher firing sound.
