Oracle Turret
| “ | ” |
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.[1]
Encounters
Chapter 1
The player first encounters the Oracle Turret in 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.
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. 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.
Chapter 5 Oracle turret voice meaning
Get Mad: Cave Johnson is angry over the Intercom between Chapter 6 and 7. Don't make Lemonade: Same reference as "Get Mad." Prometheus was punished by the gods by giving the gife of knolege to man, he was cast into the bowls of the earth and peck by birds: After Glados and Chell went down on the fall, Glados was pecked by a bird and the bird flew away. It won't be enough: "When Ratmann observe the morality core it was 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." The answer is beneath us: "GLaDOS's true identity is hidden among Johnson's Intercom messages, playing deep underneath Aperture or maybe referencing the Mobility Gels, being beneath you when the Oracle Turret is found, helping to defeat Wheatley (None of the Corrupted Cores would have been attached without the Conversion and Repulsion gels (and the Fact Sphere/Core would never have been usable as the finishing blow to cause the attempted core transfer without the Propulsion Gel))." Her name is Caroline, Remember that: Caroline, the assistant of Cave Johnson, is the person whose sentience resides in GLaDOS.
