SCRIPT PART 1
Get ready to feel, the feel of real. X1. No pain, no gain.
Pizza guys!
Hello, Wade.
Hello, Mrs. Gilmore.
What's the matter? Life getting you down?
I was born in 2027.
After the corn syrup droughts, after the bandwidth riots…
after people stopped trying to fix problems…
and just tried to outlive them.
My parents, they didn't make it through those times so…
I live here in Columbus, Ohio with my aunt Alice.
In 2045…Columbus is the fastest growing city on earth.
It's where Halliday and Morrow started Gregarious Games.
These days, reality is a bummer.
Everyone is looking for a way to escape.
And that's why Halliday... that's why he was such a hero to us.
He showed us that we could go somewhere without going anywhere at all.
You don't need a destination "when you're running on an omnidirectional treadmill with
quadrophonic pressure sensitive underlay."
James Halliday saw the future. And then he built it.
He gave us a place to go. A place called THE OASIS.
SCRIPT PART 2
This is the OASIS. It's a place where the limits of reality are your own imagination.
You can do anything. Go anywhere.
Like the vacation planet, Surf a 50 foot monster wave in Hawaii..
You can ski down the pyramids. You can climb Mount Everest with Batman.
Check out this place. It's a casino, the size of a planet. You can lose your money there.
You can get married, you can get divorced. You can,you can go in there.
People come to the OASIS for all the things they can do.
But they stay because of all the things they can be.
Tall, beautiful, scary, a different sex, a different species, live action, cartoon…
It's all your call.
Yeah, that's me, well, that's my avatar, at least until I feel like changing it.
Except for eating, sleeping and bathroom breaks…whatever people wanna do, they do it in the OASIS.
And since everyone is here…This is where we meet each other. It's where we make friends.
SCRIPT PART 3
Locate H.
Locating H. H located. Sector 12, Planet Doom.
The Planet Doom. The most dangerous place in the OASIS.
And a pretty great place to pick up coin.
Figured H would be there. H is my best friend in the OASIS.
He's my best friend, period, even though I've never actually met him in the real world.
What's up H?
Hey. What up Z?
The next race is in 20 minutes and I can't do the late one.
What the hell are you up to?
Man, getting my kills on, bro.
Is that Daito?
Daito and Sho.
Arigato. Xie Xie
This an artifact hunt?
Yup, Gregarious 120.
Turn into any giant robot for two minutes. That's rad.
Artifacts…Those were key.
Halliday made sure the OASIS was littered with enough randomly powerful stuff
that anyone could win if they had the skills.
Death matches and artifact hunts are good way to coin snatch but depending on your level of armor, they are risky.
You see, everyone starts the same but the more coin you make.The more you level up.
If you get killed, your avatar can come back to life…but you lose all your stuff
everything you've ever worked for. All your money…your clothes…your weapons…
Since people spend most of their time in the OASIS,
losing your shit means, Well, losing your shit.
H, ten minutes untill the race starts
OK mom, I heard you.
SCRIPT PART 4
You see, the OASIS was the brainchild of James Halliday.
He and his partner, Ogden Morrow released the first OASIS build in 2025.
It was an instant success... and it made them both very rich.
But Morrow was out of the picture after a few years.
And Halliday?, he wasn't just the owner of the world's biggest company.
He was like a god. People loved him. They worshiped him as much as his creation.
Maybe we should stop talking about it...and start, uh, showing it.
If you all reach under your seats, you will find that there is nothing there.
We are gonna... But we are each gonna bring you one now.
And then on January 7th, 2040, he died.
And what he left behind changed everything.
Hello. I'm James Halliday. If you are watching this, I am dead.
Before I died, I created what we in the biz call an "Easter egg
"A hidden object in a game that gives special powers to
whoever discovers it."
"The first person to find the egg I've hidden somewhere
inside the OASIS…"
will inherit my stock and Gregarious Games,
currently valued an excessive of half a million do. uh, half a trillion dollars' worth.
And total control of the OASIS itself.
In the form of my avatar, Anorak, the All-knowing, I created 3 keys.
Three hidden challenges test for worthy traits revealing 3 hidden keys to 3 magic gates.
And those with the skill to survive these traits will reach the end where the prize awaits.
Off you go, keys!
The keys aren't just laying around under a rock somewhere.
I suppose you could say they are invisible, hidden in a dark room that's at the center of a maze. It's located somewhere up here.
Let the hunt for Halliday's Easter egg begin!
SCRIPT PART 5
The challenge is to find 3 keys.
But in 5 years no one has even gotten one key.
And the big score board? Still empty.
"Some long forgotten gunter cracked the 1st clue and found
the 1st challenge."
Then this portal appeared.
But the challenge to win the first key was a race designed by Halliday.
That was so hard no one had ever finished it.
The only ones still trying are the 'gunters', as in 'egg hunters', like me and Sho and Daito and my best friend H.
"Oh! And of course, the Sixers. The Sixers worked for IOI,
Innovative Online Industries."
They are the second largest company in the world with designs of becoming the first.
which's why they are putting everything they got into winning Halliday's contest.
Buckle up! Sit in!
We call them Sixers because that's the company rule, no name, just numbers.
They have a support team made up of Halliday's scholars.
Like me, they spend all their time studying pop culture that Halliday was obsessed with,
trying to find clues to solve the contest.
They're just following the orders of the head of the IOI.
This dick we named Nolan Sorrento.
SCRIPT PART 6
How'd you get here before me?
Well, I didn't make a pit stop at the hair saloon. What up, Z!
What's up, H?
Saved you a spot.
Thanks, bro. I gotta go to the back.
Ugh, so you can skim coins from crashed cars. That's just sad man!
Fuel's low.
Oh, but you still had enough to pay for that "Something about Mary" hairdo.
First to the key!
First to the egg!
H, are you seeing this?
Yeah I see it, that is Kaneda's bike from "Akira." It's a licensed skin over standard frame…
No, not the bike, forget the bike. The girl! I think it's Artemis!
"The" Artemis? The Sixer fixer?
I've seen all her walk-throughs, her Twitch streams. It's her, it's definitely her.
Go. Go, Go! Get there!
Come on! You Got it, you got it!
Balls!
She's not gonna make it.
Bail! Bail out!
Damn! I loved that bike.
Oh, H...He is my friend. But he could fix it for you.
