[Oh look, it's the face of that guy you probably never wanted to see again. Ever. But like a bad penny, here he is. In the flesh, so to speak. Well, it's a video, but details. More importantly, he's not wearing his trademark mask. Bizarre, right?]

Yeah. Sorry, sweetheart, haven't heard that name bouncing around the ECHOnet, but hey, it's not like I keep a close eye on it or anything. That would just be... creepy. Anyway, you're in some alien dimension, probably far, far away from your home--wherever the hell that is--and it doesn't look like we're getting sent back any time soon. So, yeah. Buckle in, babe. There's no getting off this ride until it kicks you off.

[Okay, so Jack likes to reply to the lost and confused hotties when they show up. Since when is helping damsels a crime?]

[Fiona narrows her eyes at the screen. The last time she remembers seeing Jack was through multiple monitors on Helios. He was threatening to kill her then. She doubts that he's changed much. It is strange that he doesn't know Rhys' name, considering he hitched a ride in Rhys' cybernetics. Sure, Rhys said that he destroyed the AI but she wouldn't put it past Jack to put one over on Rhys. It really wasn't difficult to do.]

Alien dimension, huh? That wouldn't have anything to do with the Vault, now, would it?

[Now that caught Jack's attention. She was suddenly the most interesting person he's met here so far.]

Vault? Like, unimaginable treasure, guarded by monster aliens, needs an Eridium charged key to pop the seal? That kinda Vault? Waitwaitwait. Hold up. Stop the train. You've seen a Vault? Ohmygawd, that's....! Ffffriggen awesome!

Awesome, you know what this means? We're from the same place! See, everyone here, they're from different universes and none of them know the first thing about Vault Hunting.

[Probably not quite the Jack she's uses to, but there's still quite a bit of that Jack growing in this one.]

[Fiona watched Jack's expression skeptically. She wasn't one to trust people right off the bat. Shoot first and ask questions later - that was how she was brought up. Of course, the outpouring of enthusiasm wasn't exactly what she had been expecting, especially from Handsome Jack.

It was time to play it cool. She was a Vault Hunter now. Best to keep her info close to the chest.]

Maybe I've seen a Vault and maybe I haven't. See, the thing is, Vault Hunters aren't the most on level people I've met. [Only partially true. Athena turned out to be pretty awesome.] You could be lying to me about being on a different planet. What sort of reassurance do I have that you're telling the truth?

Well, for one, take a quick little look-see outside at all that lack of oh, I dunno, the vacuum of space. Does this look like Elpis to you, Princess? Or, hell, it doesn't even look like Pandora. Grass, trees, fancy big buildings, oh, and the friggen' ocean? [Jack raises an eyebrow at her as if to say "your move".]

I'm Jack, by the by. And the pretty girl is...?

[Ocean? Fiona looks up and squints into the distance. There's a large house in front of her but over to the left she can see a thin blue line on the horizon. Holy shit! She's tempted to go running over to ocean in a mad dash, needing to see the blue water for herself. Oh, if only Sasha were here to see this...

Sasha. The Vault. And Jack on an Atlas communicator. Right, Fiona can't lose it just yet. She needs to get her bearings, especially since Handsome Jack isn't acting at all like she expected. Even for an AI he's being almost... friendly.

That can be dangerous, on Pandora, Elpis, Helios or even this strange planet.]

The pretty girl is more interested in hearing about how she ended up on this planet. So, if this isn't Pandora or Elpis, where are we?

[Jack's grin never faltered.]

Well, alright. But it's not an interesting story. Or, maybe it is. We really don't know. [He spins around in his desk chair to face the large window that overlooks Wonderland, going slightly out of frame for a moment. His device has its own little mount on his desk. His room is a giant office. Let's not think about the reasons behind that one.] See, ask anyone who's been here a while and they'll tell you the same thing: magic. Which, I guess, considering like, Iunno, a Siren's powers or this freaky-ass alien with psychic killer mind mojo, it shouldn't sound that weird to me. And before ya ask, we don't know how to get back, either. So, believe me or don't believe me. [He shrugs and faces the feed again.]

[Fiona is a touch disturbed at seeing his office. It reminds her so much of the one on Helios except without the giant statue of a crystal unicorn. None of what he says makes any sense but seeing as she walked through a Vault and ended up here, alien space magic makes as much sense as anything else.]

Okay, okay. What you're saying is people are teleported here through alien tech. Considering the Vaults they left behind on Pandora and Elpis, I'm not entirely surprised. And there's no way to get back... well, at least not unless there's a Vault around here we could break in to.

[It's strange, but Handsome Jack reminds her a bit of Rhys. She's wary but at the same time, she can feel herself letting her guard down just a little bit. The only way off this rock and back to Pandora was going to be through a Vault. If Jack knew where one was onthis planet... well, it wouldn't hurt to sweeten up a little for the long con.]

So, Jack, know of any Vaults around here?

[Jack faces the camera again, leaning against the back of his chair with his arms folded over the top. He's smiling, but not enough to give anything away.]

Now, I wouldn't divulge that information to just anyone. She'd have to be a Vault Hunter and she'd have to give me her name first. I'd uh... offer to hire you, but this place doesn't actually have a currency, believe it or not. Buuuuut, if it did, I'd be good for it. See, I'm a uh, I'm a programmer for Hyperion. Yep. I'm kind of a big shot over there. Sort of. [Is he... trying to impress her? Is he... flirting? Yes. Yes, he is. Perhaps Jack and Rhys had more in common than either would have liked to admit.]
