(Y/N)'s POV

We arrived at a shore of another big glaicer. I got off the ship and went ahead.

Claptrap: We're near Sanctuary, buddy. you go on ahead -- tell the locals what we'll require for my 'welcome back' party. I'll stay here and give 'em time to get what we need. Number one: ladies. Obvious. Number two: dudes. But hideous ones, we're talkin' morbidly obese, we're talkin' body odor, we're talkin' acne scars. The ladies'll take one look at these uggos and BAM! I start lookin' pretty good! Suddenly, it's not "ew, you get away from me you pervy little robot, you're creeping me out, why are you crying. I didn't even know robots could cry, look, if I give you a hug will you stop crying, alright, but keep that disc tray inside, OH (my) GOD WHAT IS THIS, MOTOR OIL?" It'll be more like, 'Claptrap, rescue me from these uggos and hump my leg.' which I WILL. Number three: we'll need booze, in case that other stuff doesn't work. Number four: streamers. Number fi-- are you writing all this down? Minion? Are you even-- you even here? Still? Lonely.

I left before he started his list. I saw a bridge in front of me, but it suddenly exploded.

ECHO-Corporal Reiss: Sanctuary's off limits. You Bloodshots can stay in your hole.

A few cars jumped over the gap.

ECHO-Ripper Bandit: I SEEEEE YOUUUUU!

Some bullymongs came out and started running towards me.

ECHO-Corporal Reiss: *sigh* Awesome. Why don't you boys run on back to your camp?

ECHO-Oh! Good idea! I think we'll just turn around and head on back to our -- DIIIIIIE!

Gunshots were heard.

Lady in my head: The Borderlands are a violent and dangerous place. Sanctuary is...slightly less so. You'll need a car to reach the city gate. Get to the Catch-A-Ride.

Little man: By the way, what's your name?

Angel: It's Angel.

(Y/N): I'm (Y/N).

Angel: Nice to meet you. Both of you.

She went quiet again.

(Y/N): Let's keep going.

Little man: Yeah...

After a while i arrived at some sort of dispencer...for cars? It was right in front of what looked like a camp. It was full of bandits.

Angel: This machine will digitally construct a vehicle for you. Give it a try.

I tried to order a car, but something wasn't right.

Male voice (pre-recorded) : Whoa, unauthorized user up in my grill! You trying to hack my Catch-A-Riiiide?! Uncool bro, uncooool.

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

I headed towards the camp. 

Little man: Try asking nicely first, ok?

(Y/N): Awwww...that's no fun.

Little man: For me?

(Y/N): *sigh* Fiiiiiiiine.

I entered the camp. A few of the bloodshots noticed me.

(Y/N): Hey, fellas. I'm not looking for trouble, i just want an adapter for that Catch-A-Ride machine and i'll be on my way. 

They all showed me the finger and told me to get lost before i get hurt.
