[2] INTRODUCTION
===============================================================================

Since the release of this online quest, people who've played it will know that 
this is an odd quest. By saying certain words when in the main part of the 
quest, the game will perform certain miscellaneous animations and other things 
all around the environment. Sonic Team programmed over 100 hidden words in this 
quest and left it up for us to discover them on our own.

Recently however, Hildetorr was able to get a hold of the quest data and now 
we have ALL the hidden words in this quest. After he found the quest data and 
gave it to me, we wrote this guide to save others time in trying to figure out 
the words and what they did. Also, because if you just hang around saying 
nothing for long periods of time, random things happen, so of course that made 
our job a little harder. Finally, after so much work, this guide is the first 
to have all the words and effects in the quest in one place.

But first, I guess I'll need to explain what this quest is to those who don't
know what it's about, right? I'll start from the beginning. This is an
online-only quest that is available year-round for all player types. It's sort
of a social quest, as there is no goal to it, no reward, and no objective. It's
there for pure fun.

When you and (most likely you'll be with friends) your friends have all loaded
the quest, you'll find yourselves on Pioneer 2 in Episode 2. This quest does 
not alter depending on what difficulty you're on, except for when you initiate 
one special effect command to summon just a handful of enemies, which will of 
course change because of difficulty level.


===============================================================================
[3] WHEN YOU FIRST BEGIN
===============================================================================

It's nighttime, or at least it is over the area of Ragol that the spaceship is 
over, and the lights have all been dimmed. There are only two doors open for 
you. One of them leads toward the warp to the Lab, and the only other one is at 
the lab that leads to Gal Da Val Island's Seashore area (It's your only option 
at that warp). All other areas have been closed off. You might as well head 
down to the Seashore, as it's the only place you can go. Note that no one is 
around Pioneer 2 at this time other than the Guild Operator Lady.

When you arrive at the seashore, you'll notice that there is only one area 
available to you there, and that is the actual seashore. Rocks block all other 
areas. It's night time down there as well, and a campfire, surrounded by rocks, 
has been placed in the middle of the main beach. This quest is there only for 
you and your friends to talk in a different environment, privately with much 
more pleasant atmosphere, as compared to chatting at the lobby. 

For a little added fun, when you say certain special words, the game (not the 
server) might either perform a little graphical animation somewhere on the 
beach, change the background music, make a certain sound effect go off, warp 
you somewhere, or maybe something else. People all over have been trying to 
figure out what all the words are in this quest and what effects occur by 
saying them, with most effects having more than one word that activate them. As 
stated previously, we now have all of them and they're compiled here for your 
personal use.


===============================================================================
[4] THE WORDS
===============================================================================

Here, we have grouped all the words and their effects into eight different main 
categories.

Once you have messed around long enough and you and your friends are bored and
want to go back, you may leave at any time you wish. Head back to Pioneer 2,
preferably by saying "door" or "opening" to quicken it up, and go through the
warp to the Pioneer 2 Lab. 

You'll notice right off the bat that the Lab Head, Natasha Milarose, is 
standing right outside the warp's door. If you bother speaking to her, she'll 
complain about you having gotten water all over the floor and that you 
shouldn't be sneaking out at night. You'll also notice that the door to the 
seashore has been locked. No problem, as you can always redo the quest as many 
times as you like at any time. Talk to the Guild Operator Lady to head back to 
the Lobby to end the quest.


===============================================================================
[5] CONTACT INFORMATION
===============================================================================

You can contact Hildetorr by AIM and L255J by e-mail.
Hildetorr: "Hero Chaos Chao"
L255J: [email protected]

Why you shouldn't contact us about "Word Errors."

We've dissected the quest file data--you most likely haven't. We know for sure 
about what words exist and what they do in this quest. We're also quite well 
aware of a number of false words that are circulated on the Internet. If you 
don't know what we're talking about, I'll give you a couple of famous examples:

"BOOM!" supposedly activates the blue light that moves about the shrubbery 
behind the rocks that are near the campfire. In actuality, the correct word 
"boo" happens to be a part of the fake word "(BOO)M!"

"Photon" supposedly activates the flaring of the campfire, accompanied by the 
background music changing into Burning Hearts ~Honou no ANGEL~ from Burning 
Rangers (JP). However, many can easily overlook the fact that "hot" also 
happens to be a part of the fake word "P(hot)on".

Other than "Word Errors", if there is any other reason you'd like to contact 
us, feel free to do so.

[7] WHAT TO EXPECT IN FUTURE UPDATES
===============================================================================

Not much. There may never be a final version of this guide, however, as long as 
I, L255J, can find some way of making it easier to read or understand. You 
might see an update here or there if I find a mistake as I occasionally take a 
look at it.

I hope it has been an enjoyable reading experience for you, as that's what I 
have strived for.
