I have a bad feeling about this... Something is going to happen to the Oracle.

Just thought i pull this in here
Gautama was one of the famous seven rishis termed Saptarshi. He was the progenitor of the Gautama gotra. He was the son of Rahugana. With Bharadvaja, Gautama shares a common ancestry as they are both desended from Angirasa, and sometimes they are both bracketed together under the name Angirasa. The sons of Gautama are Vamadeva and Nodha. The 4th book of the Rigveda is that of the Vamadeva Gautama family. According to the Ramayana, Rishi Gautama once went to take bath in the river Ganges early morning. The king of the devas, Indra, was fascinated with Gautam's wife, Ahalya. Indra came in the form of Gautam and made love to Ahalya. As he was escaping, he was caught by Rishi Gautama who was returning to the Ashrama from his bath. Gautam cursed Ahalya and Indra both for this act. Ahalya was converted to stone, while Indra was cursed with one thousand female genitals (Sahasrayoni). Later, taking pity on both, Gautama converted both these curses to boons. Indra's female genitals (yonis) became eyes, and he came to be known as Sahasraaksha. As for Ahalya, Gautama granted her the boon that she would be brought back to human form by the touch of the feet of Lord Rama and would reunite with him. But whats more odd is. Gautama Buddah (Siddhāttha Gotama)

Judging by the titles of these next crits, my Buddhist Art History class might actually pay off.

Yea, I was kind of like "Holy Cow Oracle" But it was like, "Uhh we don't want to arrest her cause...well...cause. so you found her, but just leave" I understand them not wanting to arrest her, but she could have given some awesome advice or something. Also, Seraph didn't have details, I don't know if that matters or not. Taking that buff/healer (my terminology is terrible) along was nice though, much better than the usual security programs.

The last stage was a little predictable. Once I saw there was only one NPC on the mission map I knew it'd be the Oracle. But it seemed weird when we got in there. Gray is urging you on to find her, get Halborn to her, and then... oh, no, just leave it. 
Not that I cared. I don't have any great reverence for the Oracle, but I wasn't entirely comfortable with leading Halborn to her. And I don't trust Carlyne, but to outright say he's hostile just smacks of overreaction.

Hmm...this leads me to wonder...what do you think a fight between Seraph and Halborn would look like? I'd be interested to see...maybe thats why Seraph was cloaked at first, to surprise anyone thinking they had got to the Oracle.

Yeah, I wonder just how powerful Seraph is. Actually, I still kinda think the Oracle is more powerful than the other Machines. She could probably trick Halborn or Carlyne somehow, like she did with Smith.
The Machines have to be really weakened right now if they won't even go in and take the Oracle. It'd probably cause too much of a commotion.

I really don't like the Oracle talking like she is just going to give up!!! We don't know what Halborn wants to do with her! I don't want to see anything happen to the Oracle Agent Gray and the Machines sure are acting weird about all this! O.o
