[It's difficult for Fiona to keep from smirking at the video footage of Rhys hopping around with hot soup on his pants. That's an image she is going to keep in her head to cheer her up whenever she's feeling sour.

The amusement is short lived as she remembers why she's on this alien planet in the first place and whose fault it most likely is that she's standing here and not next to a gigantic pile of glowing alien treasure.]

Nice sleeping bag. Good to see you had time to pick up some camping gear while deserting me in this place. One minute we're sharing a moment and opening the Vault and the next I'm alone on another alien planet without my guns. Want to give me a little insight on how all of this happened?

[atlasrising]

Wh-What, what? What Vault? [ He squints, shaking his head before peeking out from the bag enough to point a finger at the camera. ]

No no, I didn't desert you anywhere! The last thing I knew, you were taking off in that spaceship with everybody else while I was stuck on Helios. I don't know if you saw the bottom of the base opening up or anything, but I'll let you know that I saw you in that thing Scooter built, leaving me behind. So I'm not sure what you're mad about!

[ Rhys is mad now. Oooh, is he mad. ] Things got...bad, sure. But if I was in your position, I wouldn't leave one of my teammates stranded on a spaceship that was on a crash course to Pandora. Do you even know how low that is?!

[grifterinpink]

I deserted you? Did you sleep through the last few weeks when our asses were dragged through the desert by Loader Bot? I already told you - I didn't leave you on Helios. Vallory's minions jumped us, grabbed Gortys and Sasha and left in the caravan. What's low is using the Vault to drag me half across the universe only to dump me in a strange place surrounded by weird creatures that fit into balls! What the hell is that all about, Rhys?

[Fiona is equally as pissed. She really doesn't care that she's standing off the side of the road shouting into a small communicator. She's only just sorry Rhys isn't there so she can vent her anger with a few well placed punches.]

[atlasrising]

Dragged through the desert by who? [ Rhys still is angry, sure. But when Loader Bot's mentioned, his expression softens quite a bit. The last he saw his bud, he was being shot away in an escape pod. One of Vallory's goons had knocked Loader over after one of his arms got blasted and them riddled him with bullets.

Hearing Loader Bot's name is enough to make Rhys shut up and listen. Something isn't right, here. It's hard for him to remember that time doesn't work right here; somehow, Handsome Jack is in the land of the living. Fiona is...somewhere. Being dragged by a loader bot, or his Loader Bot, or something.

Rhys shakes his head. ] Okay, okayokayokay, back up. Time gets weird here. Something's not adding up right.

When I first came here, we crashed on Pandora. After Helios' power core...failed. [ After Rhys more or less busted it, more like. ] That's where I came here from. The last thing I remember is hitting some weird mountain in the escape pod, and that's it.

I don't know about traveling around the universe, or being dragged through the desert. As far as I know, Loader Bot's gone. [ Ouch, does that smart. ]

[grifterinpink]

[It's difficult not to believe Rhys is telling the truth. His voice has this tendency to waver whenever he's emotional. It's different from his 'fake crying' voice. Somehow he was from the past, or at least, her past. Could Vaults mess with time as well as space? Considering she knew little about what was in them other than it would make her rich beyond her wildest dreams, she supposed it wasn't out of the question.]

Hey, if it makes you feel any better, Loader Bot is fine. He gets off of Helios - or rather, what's left of it - and comes to find us. So don't go all Gloomy Gus on me. Things turn out all right in the end. At least... I think they do... We both end up here. I'm not entirely sure what that means.

[atlasrising]

[ Loader Bot comes to find us, she says. Rhys is going to take that as a hint that even though he fell miles and miles from space onto Pandora, he lived to tell the tale. And sometime between his present and hers, he and Fiona meet up again and they get things taken care of. Okay! Good news, very good news.

There's a few more things Rhys wants to know, but maybe asking about it now isn't a good idea. ] Me neither. Things are really weird here. I mean, it could be worse, but, y'know. Could be better.

Oh also, be really careful. Handsome Jack is here and he doesn't know I'm the one who destroyed Helios. I'm...trying to avoid him as much as I can. Which is hard.

[ Where before, Rhys didn't really talk about Handsome Jack in a negative light, he's trying his best to avoid talking about him. Or making contact. Or being in the same world in general. ] Just don't tell him I did anything, okay? Not yet.
