The second test is then deemed a success with the sleeping child. The test is a success but the baby begins to cry every time so they decide to include soft tones and lullabies. ĭetailed in a Portal comic strip, the inception of the Sentry's strange disposition for singing and using melodious tones came from Aperture Science consumer product testers using the weapon as a possible use for protecting children from criminals. The consumer version of the Sentry Turret is available in hundreds of different designer patterns and colors, including "Forest" and "Desert", as well as "Table" and "Evening at the Improv", which were named on the spot by Cave Johnson ("What idiot picked this?"). Apparently, the Empathy Suppressor is of greater influence, as simply standing near a Sentry Turret may cause its Empathy Suppressor to accidentally activate, greatly reducing the Sentry Turret's feelings of empathy toward its foe.

It is fitted with a Fire/No Fire Incident Resolution Chip, presumably to help the Turret distinguish when or when not to fire, an Empathy Generator and an Empathy Suppressor.
The Personality Core of the Sentry Turret is located within the outer shell, right above the guns. They are launched, shell and all, with a spring-loaded mechanism called the Projectile Acceleration Cylinder, which is guarded by the Aperture Turret External Barrel. In addition, bullets are not "fired" in the traditional sense as there's no propellant explosion driving them. Aperture-Brand Resolution Pellets are the only type of ammunition that is recommended for use with a Sentry Turret. These weapons, the machine guns, along with its antenna are normally hidden inside the body, during the Turret's "sleep mode".Īperture-Brand Resolution Pellets, the bullets for a Sentry Turret's guns, are simply dumped into its hollow body, called the Shell Redistribution Chamber this allows for an unusually large supply of ammunition for such a small device (in-game, the sentry guns have infinite ammunition). Upon seeing that there are no more targets, the Sentry Turret will return to sleep mode after three seconds. When no targets are in visual range, the Sentry will scan the area in a sweeping motion with its laser targeting beam. They will begin to fire at any visible targets (usually Test Subjects, intruders or dummies).

Upon visual acquisition of the target, the Sentry Turret will come to full alert, and the machine guns will emerge. The Sentry Turrets are armed with two dual machine guns, which can only be armed once a target comes within visual sight. At Wheatley's encouragement, Chell ignores it, but the Sentry Turret politely says "thanks anyway" with a hint of shattered hopes. In one scene in Portal 2, an Oracle Turret is seen stuck inside the Aperture Science Pipe Network, who attempts to get Chell and Wheatley's attention. They will even forgive Chell for knocking them over.
They have a strangely polite demeanor, which is in direct contrast with their deadly behavior. Sentry Turrets often speak in a sweet child-like, artificial voice similar to GLaDOS and a lavatory bowl within the Enrichment Center. They appear to vary in size, from half the size of the player-character to many times larger the majority are all of the same size, but it is never shown how large they are. Sentry Turrets are commonly seen serving as guards in the maintenance areas of the Enrichment Center, and during testing as an obstacle to the Test Subject. The Aperture Sentry Turret has a single red eye/sensor, a sleek appearance, and predominately white color scheme which is common in most Aperture Science technology.
