In the I.O.I Headquarters, Sorrento had been informed about what was going on in the OASIS, as he now saw ScarletArt3mis and Lord Indominus Prime getting the Jade Key. This was definitely not good news for the CEO of the I.O.I cooperation.

"One of our oologists saw them enter the media library. They cracked the clue. Now, we just have to win The Shining challenge." The analyst informed to Sorrento, then gestured down to the war room below.

Among those of the Sixers, some of them were being attacked and taken down by the axe-wielding zombie lady, whether it be in the bathroom, or out in the maze. All of them could be seen screaming and yelling out in utter horror of what's happening.

"Mr. Sorrento." One advisor walked over to Nolan. "It's i-R0k. He's on the line for you." He said to him.

Nolan immediately goes and gets into contact with his bounty hunter as he walked off towards his office. As he walks in, he looks at one of the screens as he glared on.

"i-R0k, you'd better get me something." Sorrento demanded out. "I'm not having the best of time."

"Okay. You remember what I was saying about looking through the names that start with the letter 'B' who had bought an X1 boot suit?" i-R0k now asked back to Sorrento, the latter nodding back. "Well, I've been cross-referencing that with public records, and Voilà, which is French for..." He stopped as he then focused. "'And then I found out'. Ready? The real-world identity of Lord Indominus Prime... is Braedey Martin." i-R0k announced, Braedey's picture and profile now appearing on Sorrento's screen.

"Voilà..." Sorrento mused with an evil smirk. He then stopped as he realised something. "Wait... where's his location and date?" He questioned in frustration. He was right - the data regarding where Braedey lived and the date of birth were not recorded and are all blurred.

"About that. I don't know what he's using, but this kid is definitely a lot smarter than what we're giving him credit for." i-R0k admitted. "Best guess is that he's using some kind of scrambling tech in order to conceal most of his details and hiding it from any prying eyes, like you and me. I have tried to hack in, but it seems that there's these massive firewalls blocking the way."

"I see..." Sorrento narrowed his eyes in response to this. "No matter. He can't hide away from the I.O.I forever..."

At the Martin residence, Kelly had just gotten back to the house after getting some supplies and food needed for her and her siblings. As she goes into the house, she looks about to make sure nobody is watching out for them in case any of those I.O.I agents are out there. Unbeknown to her, someone was looking out for them from the front cab of a flat-nose van.

Inside of the basement bunker, Braedey and Jessie were now looking through the notes and papers that are in regards to the latest clue of Halliday's challenge. The biggest thing happened to be the clue Braedey had found. The clue for the third key reads as this:
