{{Quotation|'''Oracle Turret'''|I'm different.|sound=Turret_turretstuckintube09.wav}}
The '''Oracle Turret''' is a friendly [[Sentry Turret]] that is encountered three times 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. Accessed April 30, 2011.</ref>

== Encounters ==
=== [[Story#Chapter 1|Chapter 1]] ===
[[File:Oracle Turret 2.png|thumb|right|300px|The Oracle Turret on its way to redemption]]
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 Chell to help it, and to take it with her; however the Oracle Turret is inaccessible and [[Wheatley]] advises Chell 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 it says "Thank you" and an achievement is unlocked for saving it. {{spoiler text|After being saved, the Oracle Turret will say several cryptic messages, including "Her name is Caroline" and "Don't make lemonade".}}
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.

== Quotes explained ==

{{spoiler text| '''Get Mad''': [[Cave Johnson]] is angry over the intercom in Chapters 6 and 7.}}

{{spoiler text| '''Don't make lemonade''': Same reference as "Get Mad."}}

{{spoiler text| '''Prometheus was punished by the gods by giving the gift of knowledge to man. He was cast into the bowels of the earth and pecked by birds''': [[GLaDOS]] told [[Wheatley]] that he was designed to be a moron, which triggered Wheatley to send Chell and GLaDOS into Old Aperture unintentionally. After GLaDOS and Chell went down on the fall, GLaDOS was pecked by a bird and the bird flew away.}}

{{spoiler text| '''It won't be enough''': What [[Doug Rattmann]] observed about the [[Morality Core]] intended for GLaDOS. This suggests that the Oracle Turret was one of the original sentry turrets seen behind Rattmann in the Aperture laboratory where he was working on the Portal Gun. Alternatively, it may refer to how seeing Chell complete tests was unable to satisfy Wheatley in Chapter 8.}}

{{spoiler text| '''The answer is beneath us''': "GLaDOS's true identity is hidden among Johnson's intercom messages, playing deep underneath Aperture. Alternatively, this may be referencing the [[Gels|Mobility Gels]], found beneath Chell when the Oracle Turret is found, which are key to defeating Wheatley. (None of the Corrupted Cores would have been attached without the [[Conversion Gel|Conversion]] and [[Repulsion Gel]]s, and the [[Fact Sphere]] would never have been usable as the finishing blow to cause the attempted core transfer without the Propulsion Gel.)"}}

{{spoiler text| '''Her name is Caroline; Remember that''': [[Caroline]], the assistant of Cave Johnson, is the person whose sentience resides in GLaDOS.}}

{{spoiler text| '''That's all I can say''': The last quote played by the Oracle Turret until picked up again.}}

Dragonjedi7: /* Trivia */

[[Image:P-body.png|right|200px|P-body]]

{{Quotation|'''GLaDOS'''|Blue! Orange has always been my favorite.|sound=GLaDOS_mp_coop_rat_mazedeath02.wav}}
'''P-body''' (referred to as '''Orange''' by [[GLaDOS]]), is [[Atlas]]' tall and wiry partner in testing, and is one of the two playable android Test Subjects built by GLaDOS for the [[Co-op|Cooperative Testing Initiative]] in ''Portal 2'', which was devised to phase out human testing.

Gameplay-wise, P-body is played by the guest of the Co-op session; the player that receives an invitation, or the second player on a home console in split-screen mode.

== Biography ==
P-body is an orange eyed [[Cores|Core]] with a design similar to that of a [[Turrets|Turret]], and is portrayed to have somewhat less masculinity than in Atlas - if not a hint femininity. {{spoiler|GLaDOS had created the Cooperative Testing Initiative after her awakening in ''Portal 2'', as a means of replacing [[Chell]] as her only Test Subject.}} Along with Atlas, the two bots are pitted against a series of tests built by GLaDOS herself, utilizing the many different [[mechanics]] previously encountered by Chell from the game's single-player campaign.

{{spoiler|It was later revealed by GLaDOS that Atlas and P-body's Cores are programmed specifically to do nothing more but tests.}}

{{spoiler text|During the final phases of testing, GLaDOS reveals that, while the Cooperative Testing Initiative has its uses, she needs human testing for science, not robots. GLaDOS reveals that there are humans locked away, deep within the ancient Aperture facilities. There the bots will be tasked with navigating the old test chambers and unlock the massive vault containing the humans, seemingly kept in place by some form of cryogenic storage. By doing this, they 'save science'. However, almost immediately after the robots unlock the room containing the test subjects, they are destroyed. They are eventually rebuilt and, during the credits, Atlas sits at a computer desk and watches P-body playing on a conveyor belt.}}

== Trivia ==
* P-body appears momentarily in the single-player campaign. {{Spoiler text|Upon arriving in [[Wheatley|Wheatley's]] [[Portal 2 Chapter 8 Test Chamber 15|Test Chamber 15]] where he "makes the exit", P-body can be seen in the newly created area watching Chell, before panicking and running through the exit. It is possible to access this area through a glitch before Wheatley moves the wall, but P-Body does not move and is not a solid entity.}}
