The '''Oracle Turret''' is a ''friendly'' [[Sentry Turret]] that is encountered twice in ''[[Portal 2]]''. Although the Oracle Turret is never named in-game, the name was revealed in an interview with Valve writers.<ref>[http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/04/27/valve-on-portal-2-spoiler-interview-part-one/ Valve On Portal 2: Spoiler Interview Part One], John Walker, [http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/ rockpapershotgun.com], April 27, 2011.

The player first encounters the Oracle Turret in [[Story#Chapter 1|Chapter 1]] of ''Portal 2'', where the Oracle Turret is stuck in a pneumatic transport tube. The Oracle Turret asks the player to help it, and to take it with her; however the Oracle Turret is inaccessible and [[Wheatley]] instructs the player to move past and ignore it.<br />
<br />
=== [[Story#Chapter 5|Chapter 5]] ===<br />
The second encounter with the Oracle Turret is on the [[Turret Redemption Line]]. The player can pick the turret up from the Turret Redemption Line, at which point is says "Thank you" and an achievement is unlocked for saving it. {{spoiler text|After being saved, the Oracle Turret will say several cryptic messages, one of them hinting that "[[GLaDOS|her]] name is [[Caroline]]".The Turret also mentions an event from Greek mythology when Prometheus was punished by the gods and was thrown into the bowls of the Earth to be pecked at by birds. This is likely a reference to the later level in which GladOS and [[Chell]] fall down a deep shaft and GladOS is pecked by a bird.}}<br />
If the player ignores it, the Oracle Turret will complete its journey along the Redemption Line and disappear, and will presumably be incinerated and destroyed.<br />
