I felt a cold chill run down my spine as i finally recognized what happened....i had died...yet I still was here standing. All senses tingling...yet it doesn't make sense. In a matter of seconds It hit me. I turned around after hearing a odd yet familiar female voice.  "Thank you for using the hyperion new-U station."
'So i did die....but I was reconstructed. It makes sense now.'
I wiped my face and from the cold sweat I had. 'I need to leave this place.'
I fumbled around scanning for a travel station. Where I was at, I wouldn't survive long.
'That's all my fault...i should've came better prepared....instead of just running in here. Why must I be so stupid? I can't trust Jack. Not in a million years. He's already lied to me about certain things you don't lie to someone about...but...it could have been an ambush and i thought it would be cute to just bring a stupid shotgun,EMP gun and a pistol...i also had little to no ammo...but....i was brought back for some reason...wasn't I?
I glanced around catching my eye on what seemed to look like the travel station I used.
Attempting to be more catious I tried to sneak around and strain to hear everything.
I felt like I was being hunted which made me uneasy...sick and scared.
I was alone yet it felt like eyes were burning into me from the back of my head.
'This place isn't safe...I'm not even sure why Jack decided to come here.'
I thought to myself as I was only a few more steps toward the machine.
I froze as i heard the sound of slow footprints.
At first I thought it was Jack for a few seconds until I realized that these were alot louder then Jack's feet.
I slowly turned around and saw the worst thing possible.
I couldn't run from this freak on nature not even if I tried.
Then it hit me...LITTERTERLY.
I fell a few feet away as it lumbered back to me. I rushed to get something.  Trying to grab my EMP gun I found. I fought with frustratedly until my dumb ass realized I had a companion with. I pressed the button on my wrist causing the tiny bot to come out. Feeling relieved to have something then that I stood up and began shooting at it just like the tiny loader bot was. It took forever, but it finally died it was so BIG. Imediatly after it died it slammed into the ground. I swear I heard more noises and i really really don't have the time or need to stay here anymore. I pressed the button on my wrist again causing the bot to go back from where it came from.
I rushed back to the fast travel not even attempting to look around for anything. I selected hyperion. There i could find Jack and figure out what the hell is going on.
I was sent there. It felt weird...even now it tingled and the uneasiness of my stomach made the feeling worse.
It grew more and more as i walked down the halls until a Hyperion gaurd stopped me.
"Who are you? This is unauthorized area and only employees are here."
He gruffly said setting a hand on my shoulder pushing me slightly away.
"I'm looking for Jack.
I was recruited by him."
"No....it can't be...you're dead...he said you were killed by a vault hunter. You can't be alive, and -"
I cut him off,
"Yeah yeah yeah. Ok I understand you're shocked I'm still alive and I'm not even sure why I'm able to stand right here right now but I don't have time to play, ok? Just let me get to Jack."
"Handsome Jack....is...is dead, the vault hunters killed him when he awakened the warrior. "
It hit me. It hit me so hard. It was like a ton of bricks landing on me. It felt like being crushed. Tears sprang into my eyes. Ever since I met that Ass hole
He was praticly the only one who took care of me. I understood why he didn't do his best. We all make mistakes. But he can't be dead....he cant.
"T-thats not possible. I....I want proof."
I croaked as tears blurred my vision.
"If you really need it...then here."
He handed me the key card to Jack's office.
"Just tell the guards you were authorized to go in there by the commander." The guard said handing it to me before walking off.
I didn't want to move. It would make everything worse. If this was a cruel joke I'll be pissed off by the jackass who planed it. If it was true...then I don't know what... I walked stiffly as i continued to the office.
Two guards stood in my way.
One asked why the hell I was here while the other one stared of into space. "I was authorized by the commander."
I said holding the key card out. The guard stood there reluctantly before stepping aside. I entered the room and I saw it...
                        Jack's mask.
