Sam was buried in the snow, Jack had tricked him. He tried to kill him by sabotaging the ride to him, he blew it up leaving him in a snowy wasteland. He was regaining consciousness and was very hurt, covered in blood, he starts crawling towards a robot shoveling snow onto some bodies.

Claptrap: Great, another dead Vault Hunter, Handsome Jack's been busy

The robot noticed Sam was still alive.

Claptrap: Wait a minute, you're not dead! Yes! Now I can get off this glacier! Claptrap, your metaphorical ship has finally come in!

Sam gets enough strength to stand up, he made sure nothing was broken or severely damaged.

Claptrap: Allow me to introduce myself! I am a CL4P-TP steward bot, but my friends call me Claptrap! Or they would if any of them were still alive, or had existed in the first place. What's your name?

Sam: Sam..

Claptrap: Nice to meet you Sam! Oh! I've got something for you!

Claptrap hands Sam a device

Claptrap: Here! Take this ECHO communicator that I totally didn't loot from one of these corpses. It comes with a class 12 heads up display, complete with a minimap! Now, come come friend, let's get you inside

Sam: Thanks

Claptrap leads Sam towards his place

Claptrap: Man, this is great! Now that I've met a mighty Vault Hunter. I can finally join the resistance in Sanctuary, take Vengeance against Jack for killing my product line, and repair my central processor so I stop thinking out loud! I wonder what it's like to have a belly button

Angel: Hello Sam

Sam: What the? Who's there? How do you know my name?

A girl with black hair with freckles across her cheeks and nose appeared to him, he thought she looked pretty.

Angel: I'll explain everything soon, I'm Angel, you're alive for a reason, and I am here to help you

Sam: Okay..

The girl disappeared, Sam was overwhelmed, so many things had just happened. First he almost died in that train ride, then he met a loud robot, and now a girl is talking to him in his head.

Claptrap: Well done! Your ability to walk short distances will be Handsome Jack's downfall!

Sam wasn't very amused by the robot's jokes, he wasn't in the mood for jokes. Claptrap leads Sam to his place, it was full of snow, dead bodies and dead Claptrap units.

Claptrap: Sorry about the mess, everything Jack kills, he dumps here. Bandits, Vault Hunters, Claptrap units.. if I sound pleased about this, it's only because my programmers made this my default tone of voice! I'm actually quite depressed!

Sam: Oh..

Claptrap: Here, warm up by the fire!

Sam goes to the fire and he starts to warm up

Claptrap: You look like you've been through a lot, what brings you here?

Sam: Long story, let's just say that Vault Hunting is how I'm getting away from some crazy stuff

Claptrap: Wow! And now you almost froze to death on this glacier after Handsome Jack tried blew up your train!

Sam: What's with that guy? I thought he hired me

Claptrap: Jack's an asshole! He tricks everyone and kills them because he can! He's a psychopath!

Sam: Seems to be..
