Description
Template:Infobox TechnologyThe Oracle is an unfathomable and enigmatic piece of technology, discovered on an ancient planetary object code-named AGR-001. Researching teams discovered The Oracle during the War of the Ancients, in Confederacy Space.
The Oracle's most notable use is its energy holding capacity, that can take in an apparent boundless amount of energy. Before it was seized by the Alliance, The Oracle was seen to have no limit in its ability to hold energy.
Discovery
As a tale goes, a large group of instructed AI was excavating a site that was rich in platinum. This was until they unearthed a ravine. This ravine had a large cave system, which held an active Xeno Artifact. This artifact happened to be a monolith powered by a single device, The Oracle.
When the AI found The Oracle, many alerts of anomalous activity was sent to the primary mining headquarters, and operations shut down. Soon after, anomalous researchers came in and saw The Oracle's red glow. The monolith that it was connected to was a part of a larger site, filled with rather useless artifacts lost to time. Apparently, The Oracle's monolith was but one of four, but the other three were broken beyond repair.
Not long after its discovery, science teams blocked the area and investigated the working monolith. After months of extensive research, plans had to be put on hold as a result of the War of the Ancients becoming more prevalent in the region. Science teams took the monolith alongside other artifacts and stored them in the Pluto Vault. It would trade hands between facilities until a new research team decided to investigate further. They ended up separating The Oracle and its monolith, attempting to decipher its internals.
After many more weeks of full-time research, The Oracle's approximate age, purpose, and capabilities were discovered. It was then known that The Oracle was an enigmatic and ancient battery, with a remarkable capability to hold a large surplus of energy. What they first noted was its remarkable weight of approximately 50,000 kg. This results from its hyper-dense jungle of machinery and wires in the interior, most definitely being the reason of its energy-storing capabilities.
While more research was done on The Oracle, the Alliance of Five happened to be encroaching upon the system. Afraid to lose or break it, personnel attempted to hide The Oracle deep in the laboratory. The system containing The Oracle had been looted, and it was discovered by the crafty drones made from POLIKY. It is known that after the War of the Ancients, the Alliance of Five conducted an international briefing about The Oracle. They have said that "Researchers are trying their hardest to make this special technology available for everyone." A few pictures have been leaked, showing a more functional Oracle, or rather successful clones of it. Since their briefing, the Alliance has stood mostly secretive about The Oracle, but often brought it up as a solution to many energy problems.
