The ship had come to a stop, Sam was sound asleep.

Claptrap: HEY!!

Sam jolted awake, he sighs in annoyance

Claptrap: We're near Sanctuary buddy! You go on ahead, tell the people of Sanctuary to prepare for my return. I'll stay here and give them time to set it up

As Claptrap started to list things that Sam wasn't going to do, Sam left the ship and went on his way. He saw a bridge explode with bandits riding cars jumping the gap.

Angel: You'll need a car to reach the city gate, get to a Catch-a-Ride

Sam sees one nearby and goes to get a car but it just flashed red saying "denied"

Scooter: Woah! Unauthorized user up in my grill! You tryna hack my Catch-a-Ride? Uncool bro, uncool!

Angel: Dammit! Oh.. sorry, darn it! A man named Scooter runs these Catch-a-Rides. He may be short a few chromosomes but he's a savant when it comes to vehicles, he's locked this station to prevent bandits from using it. But I'm reading an inactive Hyperion bot in the nearby Bloodshot camp, if you can attach its interface adapter to the Catch-a-Ride, I can hack the machine and get you a car

Sam sees the bot in the distance and quickly grabs its interface adapter and killing the bandits there before returning to the Catch-a-Ride, he attaches the adapter to it and lets Angel do her thing.

Angel: Executing Phase Shift

Scooter: Authorized user accepted. Enjoy the ride and there's a Pimento Taco- a Pimentaco- in the glove box

Angel: Try it now

Sam digi-structs an outrunner

Scooter: Thanks for using Scooter's Catch-a-Ride biiitch!

Angel: Real charmer that one. You should be now able to digistruct a car from any Catch-a-Ride station. You should be able to jump that gap now

Sam gets in the outrunner and drives forward, he boosts and jumps the gap

Sam: Woohoo!

He lands on the other side and drives off

Angel: Great! Now head to Sanctuary and find Roland. He'll want to meet the Vault Hunter who stared down Handsome Jack and lived

Jack: Sometimes I envy you bandits, you're so.. unburdened with things like intelligence, culture, morality, honor, ambition, good looks.. I could go on but I won't. But I could. Oh! Dignity! I forgot to mention dignity!

A horse whinnies in the background of his call.

Jack: Easy Butt Stallion. Easy!

Sam reaches the gates of Sanctuary, he goes to the intercom and presses a button to talk to someone.

Lt Davis: You'll never get into Sanctuary you bloodshot skag licks! Oh, wait a minute! You're that Vault Hunter, Roland wanted to talk to you

Roland: Ah, so you're the one I've been hearin' all this radio chatter about. Name's Roland, I used to be a Vault Hunter like you, until I formed the Crimson Raiders. We'll catch up when I get back to Sanctuary. For now, I need your help. My men tell me Corporal Reiss hasn't returned the power core we need to keep the city's shields running. Bring Reiss back to Sanctuary, and you'll have earned your place in the Raiders

Angel: Roland's contacted you? Good. Listen to what he says, he can help us defeat Jack

Sam heads off to find Corporal Reiss, he finds an ECHO recorder on the ground
