{{Quotation|'''Oracle Turret'''|I'm different.|sound=Turret_turretstuckintube09.wav}}<br />
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. Accessed April 30, 2011.</ref><br />

== Encounters ==<br />
=== [[Story#Chapter 1|Chapter 1]] ===<br />
[[File:Oracle Turret 2.png|thumb|right|300px|The Oracle Turret on its way to redemption]]<br />
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.<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 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".}}<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 />
<br />
== Quotes explained ==<br />
<br />
{{spoiler text| '''Get Mad''': [[Cave Johnson]] is angry over the intercom in Chapters 6 and 7.}}<br />
<br />
{{spoiler text| '''Don't make lemonade''': Same reference as "Get Mad."}}<br />
<br />
{{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.}}<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
{{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.)}}<br />
<br />
{{spoiler text| '''Her name is Caroline; Remember that''': [[Caroline]], the assistant of Cave Johnson, is the person whose sentience resides in GLaDOS.}}<br />
<br />
{{spoiler text| '''That's all I can say''': The last quote played by the Oracle Turret until picked up again.}}<br />
