**"The Door to Adventure"** is *Technilogica's* pilot episode, premiering on the channel's fourth anniversary (October 27, 2023). It is not considered part of season one, since it's been used as a tool to decide whether a full season is worth it. The premiere was accompanied by a livestream discussing Technilogica as a whole, some of the writing process, and simply chatting.

## Plot

### YouTube Synopsis

Melissa isn't so sure it's the best idea to use a reality-altering Notebook as just some plaything, but Erin and CK are certain it'll be fine. But when Melissa turns out to be right, is there a way to turn the page and get back home?

### Outline

The episode begins with CK holding out the Notebook in front of herself, pondering what she might be able to do with it. She's joined by Erin and Melissa, the latter of which is more hesitant to mess with it, based on how powerful it seems. CK and Erin do their best to convince her, but Melissa remains unmoved. She eventually gives up on arguing, and lets Erin and CK do whatever they want with it. Erin gets a bit overeager and starts scribbling something down herself, despite CK's objections, and the three find themselves in a blank white void.

The only other thing available in this room is a large door. Erin shrugs, and she and CK decide to enter, seeing as there's no other options. Melissa is still very cautious, but she reluctantly follows along.

The trio find themselves traveling through various different worlds, including Friday Night Funkin', Wizard101, Five Nights at Freddy's, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, South Park, and they even encounter the characters Wander and Sylvia (Wander Over Yonder). CK remarks how they shouldn't exist yet, since for her, it's only 2009, and WoY started in 2013. "How did *he* get here?"

Melissa accidentally bumps into CK, who bumps into Erin, and they all fall right back into the same white void as before. CK notes how it was a terrible idea to play with the Notebook after all, and worries the three might not be able to get home. Erin goes on a rant about how convenient it would be to have a door that leads to Technilogica, but remarks about how that would be too easy. However, unbeknownst to her, she's standing in front of the exact door she's describing. Melissa and CK exchange a glance, CK saying she'll never do something like this again. Erin finally notices the door, as CK and Melissa share a last disappointed look before the episode ends.

## Episode Transcript

**CK**: Alright, let’s see what all we can do here!

**MELISSA**: I don’t know, CK, if that Notebook really does everything you say it does, I’d be really careful about just throwing it around like that.

**ERIN**: But think about it! We could go anywhere we want, anytime we want!

**MELISSA**: Well yes, but-

**CK**: Aaand we could even slip into a perfectly safe, perfectly educational weather documentary.

**MELISSA**: I mean, I would love it, but-

**ERIN**: Just imagine getting to walk across a nice, fluffy cloud!

**MELISSA**: I mean-

**CK**: Then it’s settled!

**ERIN**: Great! So how does it work?

*(CK hesitates)*

**CK**: Probably shoulda thought of that first.

**ERIN**: Lemme try!

*(Erin grabs the pen and starts scribbling in the Notebook)*

**CK**: No Erin, wait, don’t just-!

*(The three appear in a white void with a giant door)*

**ERIN**: Well let’s see what happens!

**CK**: Yeah!

**MELISSA**: Oh come on. Wait!

*(The three run through several different universes. But eventually they run into a specific orange creature riding another specific blue creature.)*

**CK**: Wait a minute, it’s still 2009 right?

**ERIN**: Yeah?

**CK**: *(points at the orange creature)* How did he get here?

*(Melissa pops into this universe a bit late, and stumbles into CK and Erin, causing them to fall forward into that plain white void again)*

**CK**: Man, we REALLY messed this one up. How are we gonna get back home?

**ERIN**: Man, if only there were some big, shining bright door that just had “Technilogica” written across the top in bright, shining letters.

*(That’s exactly what she’s standing in front of)*

**ERIN**: But that would just be too convenient. Nope, can’t make it too easy, where’s the fun in that, right?

**MELISSA**: I found the door.

**ERIN**: Really? Where?

*(CK and Melissa exchange a look)*

**CK**: All in favor of never doing that again?

**MELISSA**: I.

*(As Melissa raises a hand, Erin finally catches on.)*

**ERIN**: Oh hey, whaddaya know!

*(CK and Melissa share a last disappointed glance.)*
