~You

We fast traveled to the Outlands to meet up with everyone at this sewage plant heading towards this old Dhal Ship. Once getting close enough Nisha and I hopped out and regrouped with Tim and Wilhelm.

Arix: "We're back, what's the situation?"

Wilhelm: "Dumb bandit destroyed the bridge, we're gonna make a new one."

Arix: "How exactly?"

Timothy: "You'll see, I hope your sense of smell isn't that great."

Claptrap (Echo): "Methane dumpage activated!"

There was a loud metal screech as a pipe from below started to fill the lava lake with a horrible substance that manages to freeze over the lava.

Pickle (Echo): "The lake should be safe now! Let's get to the Drakensburg so you can find that AI ya need."

Arix: "Uh, who's the kid?"

Pickle (Echo): "Oh! Ya must be the missing member the robot was fussing about! Nice to meet you, name's Pickle!"

Claptrap (Echo): "I wasn't fussing, I don't fuss, I'm too cool for that!"

Arix: "We get it, let's just meet up then alright?"

Wilhelm: "Follow me."

We nod as Wilhelm takes us down to where the others were and this was where the smell entered our Oz kits.

Arix: "Oh geez that smells awful"

Wilhelm: "I wouldn't know."

Athena: "Hold your breathe if you need to, let's go."

We all quickly made our way across the lake with Athena and Wilhelm's help bashing a few kraggon back into the ice as our Echoes radioed in the big bad of the ship

Bosun (Echo): "The Drakensburg is mine! Not yours! You can pour as many liquid farts into the ground as you want, it won't get you a single step closer to my domain!"

Arix: "Well this guy seems like fun..."

Nisha: "Can't wait to meet him."

Claptrap: "I can!"

After climbing our way up we made it to the other side of the bridge and entered Pity's Fall. The ship looked worn out, almost had a haunting vibe to it but we pressed on making sure to refill our Oz kits.

Pickle (Echo): "This used to be Zarpedon's own ship, you know before she got promoted. They say it went down before the crackening happened!"

Arix: "The companies do like leaving their messes behind don't they?"

Athena: "You have no idea..."

Suddenly another annoying voice came on the Echo.

Tassiter: "John, Arix, I want an update on the Helios station."

Jack: "Sir, we've got our best people working on a way to retake the station."

Pickle: "That's the Hyperion CEO? Is he as much of a bottle and glass arse as I hear?"

Tassiter: "Who the Hell is that?"

Arix: "Pickle, please shut up. Um uh, he's the ten-year-old boy we hired to help us."

Tassiter: "... You're both fired."

And like that he hung up. I stood motionless as I stared at nothing.

Tim: "Uh, you okay buddy?"

Arix: "F-Fired..." I started to shake "How am I gonna pay my loans... What will people say... Oh god oh god..."
