Quotes 

• News Reporter : After a productive dinner with Crown Prince Raakaan el-Farah, philanthropist Lex Luthor announced that Obsidian Platinum's VR lenses will soon be available in Quarac.

  Kara Danvers : [turning the TV off]  Gross.

  Alex Danvers : Well, don't book your trip to Bali just yet. We still have to deal with Lex.

  Kara Danvers : And we will. We will stop him and get him out of the DEO and we'll get you back in there where you belong. You miss it, don't you?

  Alex Danvers : Well, I mean, I like to think that the DEO misses me. But, yeah. Yeah, I miss it.

• Alex Danvers : Hey. What's the emergency?

  Kara Danvers : [holding up two shirts]  Blue or purple?

  Alex Danvers : [realizing]  Oh, your date with William is tonight.

  Kara Danvers : Yes. Cancel it for me?

  Alex Danvers : No, I will not. And, blue. Always go with the blue. You know this.

• Kara Danvers : Is that that Martian weapon J'onn gave you? What do you call it, the Hand of the Soldier?

  Alex Danvers : Yeah.

  Kara Danvers : How's training?

  Alex Danvers : You wanna see?

  Kara Danvers : [a little wary]  Yeah.

  Alex Danvers : [conjuring her gun]  Right?

  Kara Danvers : Mm-hmm.

  Alex Danvers : [trying again, getting stung by electricity]  Ow! God, this... this thing is supposed to know what I'm thinking, but it's being very stubborn.

  Kara Danvers : Well, like soldier, like hand.

  Alex Danvers : [flicking her wrist]  Bzzt!

  Kara Danvers : [recoiling]  Ahh! Don't scare me!

• Kara Danvers : It's been two and a half years since I went on a date. What if I... forgot how to do it?

  Alex Danvers : You smile, and you laugh, and you reach for the check.

  Kara Danvers : You make it sound so easy.

  Alex Danvers : Well...

  Kara Danvers : By the way, you should have seen Nia today. She was on fire.

  Alex Danvers : Yeah, I did. I mean, she was all over YouTube and the news, and every other platform I've never heard of.

  Kara Danvers : I'm just so proud of her. And you know what? It just feels so good to know that if I want to take a night off, there's someone there that can save the day.

• Kelly Olsen : That house is a recent add-on, customized by a user.

  Alex Danvers : Okay, so what does that mean?

  Kelly Olsen : Advanced users can customize the virtual world, but it takes time to catalogue these additions in our system. So I don't know what we can expect.

  Alex Danvers : Well, if Trevor's in there, then I gotta check it out. I'm going in.

  [transition to inside] 

  Alex Danvers : I don't like this.

  [seeing large tanks of water with people inside] 

  Alex Danvers : Oh, my god. This is just like when Rick Malverne tried to drown me.

• Alex Danvers : I'm in.

  Kelly Olsen : Good. You should see your experience options.

  Alex Danvers : Yeah, I do.

  Kelly Olsen : Did you find Virtual Las Vegas?

  Alex Danvers : Uh... yeah, I... I-I got it. Hang on.

  [spinning the choices around] 

  Alex Danvers : There it is. Vegas, baby.

• Kelly Olsen : You did it. Okay, now give me the names and locations, so I can send teams in to eject them.

  Alex Danvers : Tell your teams to hurry.

  Kelly Olsen : On it. I'm gonna figure out why the failsafe didn't trigger.

• Kelly Olsen : So, the last thing that Al knows is that his brother checked himself into some hotel who knows where, and that he met up with some friends at a place called the Escape Palace?

  Alex Danvers : Yeah, located somewhere in Virtual Las Vegas. We figured that Trevor must have paid cash for his room, because there's no paper trail of him anywhere. So, I was thinking maybe I could got into Virtual Las Vegas, and just see what I could find.

  Kelly Olsen : Okay.

  [giving her a pair of VR lenses] 

  Kelly Olsen : Now, these lenses are very different than the original. Okay? Obsidian Platinum doesn't just utilize a brain link, it connects to your biology.

  Alex Danvers : Which means what, exactly?

  Kelly Olsen : So, in this version, you're not just seeing virtual reality, you're feeling it. Cold will feel cold, hot will feel hot, everything will feel real. So, once you're in, you'll be in what looks like a lobby. There, you will select your desired experience. You will see a panel of virtual options, mined from your own thoughts and desires. Virtual Las Vegas is one of these.

  Alex Danvers : Okay, so what happens when I get inside? What are the rules?

  Kelly Olsen : That's the difference between reality and virtual reality. Inside Obsidian Platinum, there are no rules.

  Alex Danvers : Great. Sounds easy.

  Kelly Olsen : You'll get the hang of it. I promise. Just remember, if you need to come out, say "end simulation." And if, for some reason, it gets too intense in there and you can't say that, the program will launch your failsafe button. You can't miss it. Just touch it, and you will be pulled out.

  Alex Danvers : And I'll be able to communicate with you?

  Kelly Olsen : The whole time.

• Alex Danvers : [entering Virtual Las Vegas]  Well, I know where I can go to find the Siegfried and Roy interactive experience; no thank you, but where am I gonna find this Escape House?

  Kelly Olsen : Talk to the users inside. Someone must know where it is. But stay away from the people with three lines on their necks; those are NPCs.

  Alex Danvers : What are NPCs?

  Kelly Olsen : Non-player characters. AIs who populate the world, not actual users. They won't know much.

• Alex Danvers : Listen, I'm gonna get you guys out of here. But we're looking for a man named Trevor Crane. Have you seen him in here?

  Henry : Trevor's done a bunch of escape rooms with us. He and the new guy, Richard, solved the puzzle quickly and made it through, but that door slammed shut. We were about to follow when spiders suddenly started crawling all over me. And I hate spiders.

  Alex Danvers : Whose idea was it to come to this escape experience?

  Henry : It was Richard's.

  Alex Danvers : How well do you know him?

  Henry : He's new to the group.

  Alex Danvers : I need to get to him before it's too late.

• Alex Danvers : You wouldn't happen to know where I can find a place called the Escape Palace, do you?

  Casino Goer : Escape Palace? You mean that spooky-looking joint up on the hill? Ridiculous add-on, if you ask me. They don't even have hills like that in the desert.

• Kelly Olsen : Okay, the user who created this palace designed it to tap into a player's worst fears. That makes the experience different for everyone. And harder to escape. But this isn't real; there's nothing to be afraid of.

  Man in Tank : Help. We've been trapped for days.

  Alex Danvers : Wait, you can talk? End your simulation.

  Man in Tank : I can't. It's part of the game. Then the failsafe disappeared.

  Kelly Olsen : I reported that glitch months ago. Somebody must have hacked it. Alex, you need to get them out of there. If they've been tortured for days, there could be serious repercussions.

  Alex Danvers : I thought you said this wasn't real.

  Kelly Olsen : But they think it is, and with Obsidian Platinum, it feels real. This is why we have a failsafe. It's encoded with a biometric...

  Alex Danvers : Okay, Kelly, just in English. What are... what are you saying?

  Kelly Olsen : If you don't break through those tanks right now, they could suffer brain damage.

• J'onn J'onzz : I know things have been difficult for you since leaving the DEO. Life can be challenging when there's no clear path.

  Alex Danvers : Oh, no. No, no, no, I have a clear path. Okay? It's stop Lex Luthor from traipsing around the world just cashing in on the goodwill that he never earned, and get my life back.

• J'onn J'onzz : Alex, the Martian DNA in your weapon will code itself to your bioelectric pulses, allowing you to morph it with a single thought. But you have to let it in.

  Alex Danvers : Yeah. Okay, Ollivander. Is there any kind of instruction manual for this thing?

  J'onn J'onzz : I'm afraid not. It's instinctual. Trust the weapon, and it will trust you.

  Alex Danvers : How am I supposed to trust this if it keeps changing on me?

• Al Crane : J'onn, Alex, thanks for seeing me this late.

  J'onn J'onzz : No problem, Al.

  Al Crane : My brother Trevor's missing. He lives in my basement, but I haven't seen him for about a week.

  Alex Danvers : Did you file a police report?

  Al Crane : I did, but then the cops found this on his computer.

  J'onn J'onzz : [showing Alex]  An invitation to a weekend escape experience at Obsidian Platinum's Virtual Las Vegas.

  Al Crane : Invite says to get a hotel room. So no disturbances could pull the players away from their virtual experience.

  Alex Danvers : So, the cops don't think that he's missing. They think that he's in some VR party binge.

  Al Crane : Right. But that was a week ago. Look, I'm telling you, this is not like Trevor at all.

  J'onn J'onzz : Al, do you mind taking me to your house? I'd like to take a look around, see what I can find.

  Alex Danvers : And Kelly works for Obsidian North, so she can get me into Virtual Vegas. And if there's a chance that Trevor is in there, then I will find him, and he can tell me where he is in the real world.
