The ECHOs in his office were always on- whether because he was bored and needed entertainment or for actual business reasons. He liked knowing what was going on at all times, liked making his little comments when something drew his attention. Mostly, he liked the people of Pandora knowing that dear old Handsome Jack saw all, there was nothing that escaped his interest if he was paying attention.
And so when Maya called out to him over the frequency, he sat up in his chair, head resting in the palm of his town, “Afternoon to you too, Siren. How’s the planet treatin’ ya?”
A grimace touched Jack’s lips at the mention of the other Siren, but he couldn’t help but be intrigued about the Eridium, “It really works wonders. On all sorts of things, from what I’ve been told, honey.”
Narrowing in on her frequency, Jack brought up the views from the nearest camera satellites, watching as the skag turned away from her and onto its pack. A low whistle curled up from his chest at that, the CEO visibly impressed. He knew Maya’s powers were extraordinary- word of Sirens traveled fast, after all, but this? This was something entirely new.
“Well, honey, that was quite the show. Not just some old magic trick, huh? I bet that bitch would be scared if she saw what you can do.” Tapping his hands against his lips, Jack hummed, smirking thoughtfully, “Now, sweetheart, I must ask why you’re tellin’ me this? Not thinkin’ to scare me, I hope.”
The corners of her azure-tinted lips turned slightly upward as she listened to his reply, “Not entirely. I've got a proposal for you, Jack. Since i’m sure by now you’ve narrowed in on my frequency enough to see where I am, so I’ll assume you’re at least getting an inkling of what i’m implying.” Maya now stood on a rocky cliff, overlooking one of Hyperion’s numerous mining facilities that had popped up all over Pandora within the past year or so. “Power like this needs to be sustained, so as much as I hate to say it, you have something I want. But to be fair, i’m going to get it, one way or another.” the Siren paused, glaring down at the various loaders and humans. Thinking about the way there were just milling about on the compound, completely unaware of the potential threat above.
“You agree to let me have some of the Eridium you’re mining, and I won’t force every employee in that facility to shoot each other in the face, then take what I want anyway...Deal?” Honestly, Maya was rather curious about what he would say. It wouldn’t surprise her if the arrogant bastard would still decline. Yet in a way, she could still respect him for that. He still didn’t really know the full extent of her powers, and it's not like the CEO was known for his generosity, either. She was surprised to find that it sort of excited her, however. This newfound ability to control anyone with the flick of a wrist. Sure, she’d had little qualm about killing off bandits in droves, but it was still a little unnerving, to say the least. That she could feel so eager towards the slaughter of hundreds of men that were really only doing their jobs...
