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.

=== [[Story#Chapter 5|Chapter 5]] ===
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.}}
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.

Portal 2 Sixense MotionPack DLC Test Chamber 2

{{Test Chamber Infobox

This is the second chamber from the [[Portal 2 Sixense MotionPack DLC]].

== Hazards ==
*[[Goo]]

== Walkthrough ==
*Upon entering the chamber, you will be greeted by a [[Switch]]. Press the switch and it will drop a [[Weighted Storage Cube]].
*Using one-to-one, move the cube through the air and onto the button that's in the [[Goo]]. This will raise a platform for you to cross.
*Cross over the newly risen platform and look ahead. Place a portal on the surface above and one on the ground in front of you. Use one-to-one again so that you can drop the cube through the portal on the ground and press the button.
*After the button is pressed, another platform will rise out of the water. Walk across and go through the portal that was used for the cube.
*Grab the cube and use one-to-one to move it into the air and around the metal grate that blocks the final button. Drop it onto the button.
*Proceed to the open [[Chamberlock]].

Still Alive (song)

2013-11-22T10:30:05Z

Chungjunying:

"'''Still Alive'''" is the song that plays alongside the ending credits of [[Portal]]. {{spoiler text|It is played after the player "kills" [[GLaDOS]] and subsequently causes the destruction of the [[Aperture Science|Enrichment Center]]}}.

{{youtube|VuLktUzq23c|audio=yes}}

== Lyrics ==
{{spoiler text|
This was a triumph. 
I'm making a note here: 
HUGE SUCCESS. 
It's hard to overstate 
My satisfaction. 
Aperture Science 
We do what we must 
Because we can. 
For the good of all of us. 
Except the ones who are dead. 
But there's no sense crying 
Over every mistake. 
You just keep on trying 
Till you run out of cake. 
And the Science gets done. 
And you make a neat gun. 
For the people who are 
Still alive. 
I'm not even angry. 
I'm being so sincere right now. 
Even though you broke my heart. 
And killed me. 
And tore me to pieces. 
And threw every piece into a fire. 
As they burned it hurt because 
I was so happy for you! 
Now these points of data 
Make a beautiful line. 
And we're out of beta. 
We're releasing on time. 
So I'm GLaD. I got burned. 
Think of all the things we learned 
For the people who are 
Still alive. 
Go ahead and leave me. 
I think I prefer to stay inside. 
Maybe you'll find someone else 
To help you. 
Maybe Black Mesa... 
THAT WAS A JOKE, HA HA, FAT CHANCE. 
Anyway this cake is great 
It's so delicious and moist 
Look at me still talking when there's science to do 
When I look out there 
It makes me GLaD I'm not you 
I've experiments to run 
There is research to be done 
On the people who are 
Still alive. 
And believe me I am still alive 
I'm doing science and I'm still alive 
I feel FANTASTIC and I'm still alive 
While you're dying I'll be still alive 
And when you're dead I will be still alive 
Still alive 
Still alive.
}}
== Connection to game/GLaDOS ==
* Still Alive - GLaDOS revealed to be alive at the end of the game.
* And you make a neat gun - The [[Handheld Portal Device]].
* Even though you broke my heart and killed me - [[Chell]] presumably killing GLaDOS.

== Trivia ==
* "''Still Alive''" was also used in [[Wikipedia:Left 4 Dead 2|Left 4 Dead 2]] as an easter egg on a jukebox that can be found in the campaigns "The Parish" and "The Passing".
* An instrumental version of "Still Alive" can be heard on some radios in Portal.

== Composition ==
"''Still Alive''" was written by Jonathan Coulton, who also wrote "''Want You Gone''", and was sung by Ellen McLain, [[Voice actor]] for [[GLaDOS]] and opera singer. {{spoiler text|She also sang "''[[Want You Gone]]''" during the end credits of [[Portal 2]]}}.
