Angel had been doing somewhat better than when Nisha first visited her after the performance drop-off. She had kept in contact with the Lawbringer daily, talking about anything and everything they could to take their minds off of the situation at hand. Jack had been hounding Angel for her performance, aggravated that she was not able to live up to his expectations any longer. From what Angel could tell, he hadn't realized the Eridium being supplied to her was changed.

Nisha tossed and turned in her bed.  She was having a nightmare again, about her childhood.“You need to learn some manners...” the voice was deep, far deeper than her mother’s real one.  Her mother loomed over her, a behemoth 20 meters tall.  She held a triple-headed whip, and with it, she lashed her terrified daughter.  “You’re a terrible daughter...”  Nisha begged her mother to stop, pleaded that  she’d be good... but it fell on deaf ears as her mother laughed and tore at her daughter’s skin.  Her eyes blazed with a golden fire, filled with hate.  She beat her daughter again, and again, and again...“NO!”  Nisha bolted upright, covered in sweat.  She was shaking.  She was always shaking.  Where was she?!  Was her mom here?  Gradually she became aware of her surroundings.  She was all right... well, as all right as she could be, under the circumstances... which wasn’t all right at all.  Shaking, she picked up her Echo.  She felt bad bothering Angel at this time of night, but she needed someone... anyone... to talk to.  She dialed out to Angel and held the Echo up to her ear as it rang.

It had been over a month since the Siren had heard or seen Element. She'd been good with keeping Jack in the dark about their plans for her escape. However, she was growing more anxious as they days and weeks dragged on. Had she done something to upset the Void Guardian? Maybe he had forgotten about her entirely. Angel sighed sadly and turned to her monitors to begin the days work. She'd just need to have faith that Element would come for her soon.

Element was always one not to look before he leapt. Sure, his Mechanoids swept through Hyperion's pipeline output stations like a raging storm of metal and machinery, tearing any Hyperion soldier and combat loader asunder. It was easy to redirect the flow of eridium into awaiting drums, to then be sent through the void tunnels to his newly built base. Hell, even building the structure itself went without a hitch. The problem however came with timing the raids on the pipelines to avoid Jack's suspicions, deploying the resource pods from orbit when Hyperion satellites weren't nearby to see them, and moving the cloaking units in that hid the base from Hyperion's watchful eyes. Not to mention the bandit camps that needed to be cleared out to avoid unwanted detection. Normally Element would just turn the massive plasmor cannons of his battlecruisers and bombard the camps from orbit. But, that would send one hell of a "hey Hyperion check out the gun show!"

Stealth was needed. And stealth took time. Finally, after a month and a half of clandestine raids, waiting for satellites to pass, and sending squads of commandoids to eliminate bandit camps, Element and his forces were ready to move Angel to her new home. The plan would begin with a massive assault on the Bunker itself; a power play to show Jack what happens when he sticks his nose in Void Guardian business. It wasn't a coincidence that Element found void crystals and void mutated skags in Hyperion labs across the planet, even after he sent Jack numerous messages explaining the dangers of the void. It was probably the eventual reply from Jack that pissed Element off: "I don't care. The crystals are cool. I'm keeping them. There's room for only one Hero on this planet pumpkin."

So when alarms blared all across Bunker, explosions rocked the chamber, and the telltale glow of a rift portal tearing across reality appeared on the wall where she first met the Void Guardian, Angel's worries were extinguished: her Guardian Angel has finally arrived.

It had been several months since Jacks demise. All of Helios was in disarray, trying to figure out their next move for the company without their CEO. They were also experiencing technical issues for the first time in nearly a decade. Little did they know this was the result of the loss of Jacks secret AI of a daughter that had kept Helios' networks running smoothly since her placement in the BUNK3R. However, no one had heard of the AI even after her demise.

It had been a while now since Tim became, well, Timothy Lawrence again; kind of. With all the shit that had went down and all the horrible things he had to do and experience being a body double to a genocidal megalomaniac. The death of Jack’s daughter had been the last straw for Tim. Angel had been the only person he had given a damn about throughout his time working for Jack, and the closest thing to a daughter to him than she could ever have been to that asshole. 

A silver lining presented itself to him when Angel came forth to him, in the form of an AI within the systems of Helios. Tim had been shocked, to say the least, and then a bit skeptical before ultimately relieved. After some discussion, they had agreed to download her AI into his digi-tech so that they both could get the hell out of that horrid space station and away from Handsome Jack once and for all and in search to hopefully find a way for Angel to have a body and live out a normal life. 

And now, here Tim was, living on the go on Pandora, keeping his face hidden and the AI close. It was difficult, but hell, at least they were free—somewhat.
