Based on information gleaned from Kira’s Seven Shards of the Siren’s Soul adventure module, Wade believes the Seventh Shard lies on the Xyxarian Mountains, located on the same planet as Anorak’s Castle. Once there, he inserts the six Shards into the Shrine of Leucosia to produce the Seventh Shard.
Upon touching it, Wade experiences a final flashback: Halliday asks Kira to test out an early ONI prototype. Wade realizes Halliday used that moment to copy Kira’s consciousness without her permission. This is the final straw for Wade, who no longer worships or even defends Halliday’s actions.
Suddenly, Anorak appears. Now is the time for Wade to carry out the plan he formulated: He hands Anorak seven fake Shards and uses the opportunity to steal back the Robes of Anorak. Wade immediately teleports to Anorak’s Castle, where only the bearers of the robe may enter and where the Big Red Button sits.
Unable to enter the castle, Anorak teleports outside its window so he and Wade can talk. Wade threatens to push the Big Red Button if Anorak does not release Og, but Anorak refuses. Meanwhile, Wade uses a portable Telebot Control Station that allows him to use his OASIS avatar to control a robot in the real world.
