The collective memory storage system utilized by the Overwatch is referred to as the "Archive." Oracles who were authorized were raised by Nihilants, and their physical forms were constrained to the shared world, while their psyches drifted freely, linked by the astral umbilicus. Upon returning from their astral wanderings, the prophets voiced their insights through figurative and impassioned language. The Combine Advisors analyzed their esoteric utterances, integrating them as forecasts of future happenings, diplomatic counsel, and metaphysical armaments to advance triumphs for the Overwatch, whether on the battlefield or elsewhere. This persisted for several centuries, with the Archive replete with records of successful emperors and their recent gains. Nonetheless, the surveillance shifted when "G-Man," the specific Oracle, appeared to help the last ruler of machines.

Right from the onset, "G-Man" delivered premonitions that defied convention. Rather than merely foretelling events, his insights appeared to influence their outcome. The enigmatic seer dispensed unsolicited guidance, which resulted in the Combine becoming embroiled in unexpected conflicts with hitherto unknown rivals. The Advisors, sensing a threat to their authority, were swift to blame these unwelcome developments on the latest Oracle. They insisted that he be removed, petitioning the Nihilants to reclaim their flawed prophet and replace him with a more competent substitute. But "G-Man" reported a foreboding vision of the demise of the Incubation Chambers, followed by news of the ancient college's ruin in a disastrous avalanche. Terrified of experiencing a similar fate to the Nihilants, the Advisors retreated to their chambers of counsel, now eager to evade detection by the Oracle.

The Overwatch, however, was a creature of great practicality. It was doubtful of the commitment of its overly cautious Advisors. An Oracle of such rarity, it reasoned, ought to be utilized as a weapon to expand its dominion. It demoted its meek counselors and placed "G-Man" by its side, although it only had a rudimentary comprehension of the Oracle's abilities. It boldly articulated the outcomes it sought and coaxed "G-Man" into pronouncing them as prophecy.

Initially, everything appeared to be going well. The Last Overwatch boasted that by adopting Fate's pet, it had put Fate under its own control. However, it should have taken it as a warning when, on the eve of its invasion of the Unsated Vortigaunt's realm, it tried to elicit a prophecy of certain victory from "G-Man." Instead, it heard "G-Man" quietly whisper, "It could go either way." No amount of persuasion could extract a firmer declaration from "G-Man." Regardless, the Emperor remained confident in its military's capabilities. The Vortigaunts were confined to land, ill-equipped, and cut off from all possible allies. It took "It could go either way" to mean that with tactical prowess on its side, there was little danger entailed in its course of action.

Undoubtedly, the Emperor should have taken the Oracle's words more literally. Even with meticulous examination of the Annotated Annals of If, what occurred on the battlefield outside the Unsated Vortigaunt's palace is practically inconceivable. It appears that amidst the bloodshed, the conflict began to split in two. At every crucial juncture, reality fragmented and splintered into pieces. Soldiers who stumbled and collapsed in battle also stood firm and progressed in combat. Their minds also splintered; the warriors found themselves both alive and dead, present and absent. Triumph and defeat were partitioned such that each distinct outcome was encountered by both armies simultaneously. The universe transformed into a hall of mirrors, with all mirrors continually shattering.
