In 2045, the world is on the brink of chaos and collapse, but people find salvation in the OASIS: an expansive virtual reality universe created by eccentric James Halliday. When Halliday dies, he promises his immense fortune to the first person to d...
At his penthouse office at I.O.I Headquarters, Sorrento was talking to i-R0k about what happened over at The Distracted Globe that night, and how Indominus and ScarletArt3mis had gotten away and that they're still alive. Sorrento mostly focused on Indominus and how he got away from the ambush.

"How the hell did they get away?" Sorrento demanded.
"Do you want the long version? Your guys suck." i-R0k commented back on screen in a blunt and simplistic manner. "They failed to kill his avatar, which, if we're offering constructive criticism, was a lame idea and only would've slowed him down. Whereas my plan, which was cool because I rock, actually worked."
He's still on the board." Sorrento said through clenched teeth in anger at his bounty hunter.
"I know that, Nolan. But he won't be for long." i-R0k said to Sorrento. "I am working on a search for all the B-names who had recently bought an X1 bootsuit, cross-referencing that with public records at the same time."
"And...?" Sorrento questioned eagerly. He really wanted to know WHO Indominus really is.
"Do you even know HOW MANY names starting with the letter-B are out there in the world right now, Nolan?" i-R0k spoke back as if he was talking to someone with a lack of understanding of what he's doing as a bounty hunter. "I can only work as fast as I can, Sorrento. I'm not some kind of supercomputer, you know."
"Then work faster!" Sorrento ordered to him sternly. "I want his name and want to know where he is! He can't be allowed to continue with the contest!"
"As you wish, Sorrento..." i-R0k replied back before the call ends.
Sorrento sighs to himself as he leans back in his chair. The plan to get rid of ScarletArt3mis and Indominus having failed was bad enough, but hearing that he won't get what he's looking for was just adding in salt to the wound. He decided to go and talk to F'Nale, the two of them walking around one of the loyalty centres.
"Are you loyal, Ms. Zandor?" Sorrento asked to F'Nale.
"You really want me to answer that?" F'Nale questions back to Sorrento.
"Well, when you're at war, you need people who are loyal to a fault." Sorrento stated. "People you can count on to get things done."
"I just get people arrested for not paying their bills." F'Nale said to Sorrento.
"Yeah, 'cause there are some problems that require a physical solution, but there are other times, particularly at war, when you need a different set of rules." Sorrento corrected to her.
"The rules of war." F'Nale stated.
"Exactly." Sorrento acknowledged.
"It's too bad my division doesn't operate inside the OASIS." F'Nale pointed out.
