Oracle of the Law

The Oracle of the Law project is a high up legal group whose main goal is to stop forged evidence, false charges, and to catch criminals, mainly assassins. It was founded shortly after the resolution of the GC-9 Incident in 2025. The project is mentioned in Quiet After the Hurricane, Secrets Beneath Secrets, Web of Mistrust, Future Assassin's Blade, The Returning Past, and Mask of Deceit thus far.

Origin
The OOTL project began during the GC-9 Incident as a plan by Chrysalis Starr to assist Harry Galle in catching the escaped criminals behind the cases of Cotoli Morix and Ghastly Bespoke. It wasn't put into effect until shortly afterwards, however, as the founder was recovering from an assault during the case's three day span.

Before this, however, Harry came up with the plan to catch serial killer Omar Cornis by infiltrating the local prison to gather information. He asked for Venus Rinko and Chrysalis to assist him, thought the former refused. Chrysalis let it weigh on her mind for the next month and a half before making up her mind to help out Harry by beginning the project.

Operation
To keep the project going, the group would need information on the killers they were trying to catch. Because of this, the leader extended her hand to many high up legal figures to get their assistance on the issue. Such figures included the Chief Prosecutor, a variety of defense attorneys, and even a few Interpol agents.

But this all came with a high price. The very killers that Chrysalis was putting her efforts into catching discovered her endeavors and made it top priority that she be killed. Chrysalis evaded them by going under a variety of aliases so that she would both gather information and remain out of harm's way. As of present, there are fifteen aliases, though sixteen sides to Oracle counting the original name.

Trials and Tribulations
The path of the Oracle had many twists and turns, including the kidnapping, attempted murder, and assassination attempts against the leader, who was the only one 'true Oracle.' Even with all of these twists and turns, the project kept on and is still going in the canon.

The first large event was during the UC-1 Incident, in which Estelle Burns, one of the leader's false identities, was revealed to the public. The Under Cover Assassin discovered that she was the Oracle in disguise and shot a gun at her in open court, making Chrysalis have occasional breakdowns upon hearing gunshots.

The next huge event involved the leader's first abduction. Chrysalis was visiting Zheng Fa to meet with a handful of Interpol agents to discuss the project when the UCA attacked and kept her hostage inside a broken down plane. A few short days later, the alias Chrysalis was under, Sakura Rai, was exposed. Her wrist was later slit deeply by a knife belonging to UCA member Collin Ispy, leaving a permanent wound behind that would later become decisive evidence against her to others.

One short year later, on the three year anniversary of the project's founding, the group Chrysalis worked with at Morix Law Offices discovered her secret thanks to Bal Gam's wild attempts to pin being the traitor on Chrysalis, Cotoli, and Sora Lin. Lily Shield refuted this and proved that Bal himself was the treacherous member at the agency. After he made his escape, Chrysalis was forced to confess to her past 'crimes' to Yuri Rinko, Niamh Tenniswood, Averl Jones, and the remaining team members, though they were already informed.

The next large occurrence took place a few months later, the end of October to be precise. Alias Rosalie Libra was to be presiding over a trial when gunshots rang out. She attempted to run from the scene, only to be cornered by assassin Essentia Emsthorpe, who was hoping to kill three legal figures (Ghastly, Chrysalis, and the Wood Quintet) on the anniversary of the ZR-8 Incident. Before the assassination could come to pass, however, Essentia was stabbed in the back by Nevada Wood. Chrysalis was struck with amnesia over the event for a short while, but after she regained her memory, wished for Nevada to assist her in the project, though Nevada didn't formally except until two years later.

Near the beginning of December the following year, the project was thought to be in the process of collapsing, as one of the aliases of Chrysalis had been murdered, leaving all thinking it was none other than the leader who had fallen victim to a heinous crime. However, Chrysalis had faked her death to avoid one out to kill her. A few days afterwards, Eileen Liyle and Razi Lesa, both of whom were aliases, were exposed to the public as being aliases of Chrysalis when Tenniswood forced the leader to admit her guilt in falsifying the body, though Chrysalis got off the hook for it, as the forgeries were from justified self defense.

Trivia
-There were originally only four aliases, Amy Kamoe, Eileen May, Shayla Kimi, and Ashlyn Mail, who became Amy Kalles, Eileen Liyle, Shayla Willows, and Rosalie Libra respectively (though Ashlyn became three characters, including Rosalie Libra, Ashi Channings, and Aria Claris).

-All aliases share the same letimotif, which is called 'Great Oracle's Guidance', which is originally A Tragic Fate from Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy.

-The plot line involving Oracle was confirmed for Quiet After the Hurricane even before the characters were developed.

-The Oracle concept was originally going to be used in a story involving canon characters, though it went under a drastic change before being added to the Quiet After the Hurricane series.

-Multiple aliases are beginning to appear in other stories, including Rosalie Libra and Amy Kalles, though it is highly expected that if these two have been added to other things, others will soon join them.
