"The Real World" is the seventh mission in Saints Row IV.[1]

Overview

Kinzie guides The Protagonist to an exit out of Virtual Steelport. The Protagonist then wakes up alone in the Zin mothership, naked. They fight their way through several groups of Zin to reach a landing platform, and is picked up by Kinzie and Keith David, and pilots the The Ship out of the mothership into space.

En-route to Earth, Keith asks if they're going back for the others, and The Protagonist replies that they're going to get backup. Kinzie attempts to phone Oleg, but he is drinking with Josh Birk at Broken Shillelagh and ignores her call, thinking the unknown number is a call from a telemarketer. Seconds later, the Earth is destroyed. Zinyak contacts the Ship to gloat, and they head back towards the mothership to get revenge.

Trivia

  • It is unknown how The Ship didn't get destroyed, as it was close to Earth and could have got caught in the explosion radius.
  • The song that plays during the escape is Haddaway - What Is Love. This song is played on The Mix 107.77.
  • The restart spawn point for this mission is in Sunset Park, rather than Kinzie's Warehouse, which was the completion spawn point after the previous mission.
  • Parking a vehicle, such as the Xor, beside the door prevents The Protagonist from actually touching the Gateway during the scripted sequence.
  • When taking a Zin as a Human Shield to the end of the platform, the Zin stops moving and The Protagonist turns back and forth as if the Zin was not there.
  • When the driving The Ship in the fight sequence, Kinzie references to Star Fox 64 by telling The Protagonist to "Do a barrel roll!" This was also referenced in the Gangstas in Space DLC.
  • During this mission, it is possible to use all Stores, but after this mission each store cannot be used again until they are Hacked.
  • The phone call to Oleg comes from a 217 area code. 217 is the area code for parts of central Illinois, including Champaign, IL, where Volition, Inc. is headquartered.
  • With the exception of How the Saints Save Christmas, DLC is unlocked after completing this mission. This includes Enter the Dominatrix, even though it cannot be completed until later in the game when the Telekinesis ability is unlocked.
  • Although Kinzie states that she last heard that Oleg was at Camp David, which is where Josh states they were intended to go immediately before the Zin invasion, they are drinking at the Broken Shillelagh in Steelport. Kinzie has been inside the Zin mothership since the invasion, so she has not spoken to Oleg since that time, and had no way of knowing this.
  • It is possible to complete 66% of City Takeover in Virtual Steelport without playing Co-op before completing this mission, 71% in Stanfield, 68% in Downtown, 65% in Carver Island, 59% in New Colvin for an average percentage of 263/400 or 65.75%, although this reads as 66%.
  • It is also possible to get 19 challenges before it including Targets Blackholed as the Singularity Gun can be used in an instance of Mayhem.
  • As a Co-op guest, it is possible to takeover the entire city and complete the other challenges, if the host has completed the story.

The Simulation

Kinzie: "I've constructed a door that'll allow your mind to get out of the simulation and back into your body. Head toward it."
The Protagonist - Female 1: "On my way. So what have you learned about this Zin invasion, Kinzie?"
The Protagonist - Female 2: "Of course. So, Kinzie, this Zin invasion. What's going on?"
The Protagonist - Female 3: "Heading there now. Kinzie, do we have any details on this Zin invasion?"
The Protagonist - Male 1: "Got it. Fill me in, Kinzie, what do we know about the Zin invasion?"
The Protagonist - Male 2: "You got it. What can you tell me about the Zin invasion?"
The Protagonist - Male 3: "Right. So what's the deal with this Zin invasion, Kinzie?"
Nolan North: "Got it. Fill me in, Kinzie, what do we know about the Zin invasion?"
Kinzie: "The good news is they didn't get everybody. Just...a whole bunch of people. According to what I've been able to decipher, the Simulation is designed to house the best and brightest "specimens" from various worlds."
The Protagonist: "The best and brightest from an *entire* planet? How big is this thing?"
Kinzie: "BIG. But they haven't gotten to all of Earth yet. Just the major cities. Last I heard, Oleg was up at Camp David. That area doesn't look like it's been hit yet."
The Protagonist - Female 1: "That's good at least. Okay, I need to get out of here."
The Protagonist - Female 2: "So many people. What are they doing with them?"
The Protagonist - Female 3: "My word. Still, so many people..."
The Protagonist - Male 1: "So we got people left on Earth. Good to know."
The Protagonist - Male 2: "We need to stop the Zin from getting the rest."
The Protagonist - Male 3: "They haven't nabbed everyone. Good."
Nolan North: "So we got people left on Earth. Good to know."
Kinzie: "Once you're free from this simulation, I can sever your connection to the Zin matrix. This will allow me to retrieve your body here in the real world without you suffering permanent brain damage."
The Protagonist - Female 1: "Where am I in the real world? They better not mess with my body."
The Protagonist - Female 2: "Where am I in the real world? Is my body okay?"
The Protagonist - Female 3: "Where am I in the real world? They're not, like, messing with my body, are they?"
The Protagonist - Male 1: "Where am I in the real world? Like, what are they doing to my body?"
The Protagonist - Male 2: "Where am I in the real world? They ain't doing nothing to my body, are they?"
The Protagonist - Male 3: "Wait, where am I in the real world? Are they mucking about with my body?"
Nolan North: "Where am I in the real world? Like, you know, what are they doing to my body? Is it dirty?"
Kinzie: "It's...in a safe place. Once you're free, I'll pick you up at the landing platform."

Kinzie: "Wrong door."
The Protagonist - Female 1: "Oh. Huh. Well done."
The Protagonist - Female 2: "Ah. Nicely done."
The Protagonist - Female 3: "Oh. Never mind."
The Protagonist - Male 1: "Oh. Nicely done."
The Protagonist - Male 2: "Oh. Good job."
The Protagonist - Male 3: "Oh. Cheers."
Nolan North: "Oh. Nicely done."
The Protagonist puts one hand through the doorway
The Protagonist: "Well that didn't go terrible."
Kinzie: "Can you quit being a baby and just walk in?"
The Protagonist: "Look lady, we're doing this in my time!"
Kinzie: "No you're not."

The Protagonist - Male 1: "Wait a minute. You saved Keith David before me?"
The Protagonist - Male 2: "Hold up. You saved Keith David before me?"
The Protagonist - Male 3: "Kinzie, why'd you save Keith David before me?"

Cutscene

The Protagonist puts on a space suit as Keith comes up to them.
Keith: "We're not really leaving the others are we?"
The Protagonist: "Hell no, but if we're taking the fight to Zinyak we'll need all the help we can get."
The Protagonist: "Kinzie, can you get in touch with Oleg?"
Kinzie: "Yeah, we should be in range."
Oleg: "I always thought NyteBlyade was just a vampire show."
Josh: "Oh no my friend. It is the essence of drama."
Oleg's phone rings.
Josh: "Hey, you need to take that?"
Oleg looks at his phone.
Oleg: "You know anyone with a 217 area code?"
Josh: "Is that St. Louis?"
Oleg: "Probably a telemarketer."
Oleg places his phone down.
Josh: "Oof! Ignore."
They pick up their bottles
— Oleg and Josh at the Broken Shillelagh
The Protagonist: "Voicemail?!"
Kinzie: "You want me to leave a message?"
The Protagonist: "Ugh, fin-"
The planet ahead of them explodes
The Protagonist: "NO!"
Keith: "JESUS!"
Kinzie: "Oleg!"
Kinzie: "It's all gone."
Zinyak: "Well I'd say this was a productive day."
The Protagonist: "You're a fucking monster."
Zinyak: "Oh don't act surprised. I told you this would happen."
Keith: "You killed 7 billion people."
Zinyak: "Whoops."
Kinzie: "We're done talking."
Kinzie hangs up.
Keith: "He's not getting away with this."
The Protagonist: "You're goddamn right he's not."
The Protagonist: "Kinzie, can you use this thing to place me back in the simulation?"
Kinzie: "Yeah, I think I should be ab-"
The Protagonist: "Do it."
Keith: "Wait, you want to go back in there? You can't kill Zinyak plugged into a computer."
Kinzie: "I can kill a lot of people with a computer."
Keith: "You, sure. You need help setting the DVR."
The Protagonist: "If taking over a small part of the simulation lead you to me, taking over the whole damn thing has to do something good."
Keith: "You don't even know what will happen!"
The Protagonist: "She probably does."
Kinzie: "The President is right. Whenever the simulation is disrupted I have a small window to work my way inside the Zin security network. The more it's disrupted the more time I'll have to map out Zinyak's mother ship."
Kinzie: "I can identify structural weakness, locate where they're keeping our friends..."
Keith: "And find Zinyak."
Kinzie: "Yeah."
The Protagonist: "Alright, let's do this."
Narrator: "When historians look back on the fall of the Zin Empire, this will be the defining moment. An act that was supposed to demoralize, galvanized; and a course was set that the Saints could never back down from."
Narrator: "But even more monumental is this: if the Earth was not destroyed, pragmatism would have won over desperation and the Saints would never have been reunited with the most dangerous man in all of history:"
Narrator: "Johnny Gat."
Narrator: "But ever as always, I'm getting ahead of myself...like all good stories, the second act begins with a call to action and the building of a robot."
