New Tales From the Borderlands Epilogue
Rhys stands behind his office desk, typing furiously on his keyboard while on a call with his ECHO communicator. Only a few hours ago, the Tediore warship crashed into the middle of Meridian City. With no call from Susan Coldwell, Atlas has declared the war over. But there is still so much work to do.
“The site is still too dangerous to salvage,” an Atlas soldier tells him. “But so far we’ve only found Tediore soldiers, most of them dead.”
“Keep looking!” Rhys orders, “give medical treatment to anyone still alive! And if you find anyone who isn’t Tediore, tell me immediately!”
“Sir...if there’s someone specific you’re looking for...”
“Just do as I say!” he barks before cutting the call.
Rhys sighs heavily and starts to sit back, before remembering he still hasn’t gotten a new chair and catches himself to stop from falling onto the floor.
He leans over his desk, running his hands through his hair. “She was on that ship...did she manage to escape? Surely she wouldn’t have...she can’t be...”
He thinks about the Teed Talk, and his stomach twists into knots.
“I should have never let her go off alone. Why didn’t she listen to me...”
He hears the office doors open and he stands, exasperated. “What is it? Can’t you see I’m-.”
He stops when he sees who’s walked in.
Skies pants like she’s just been running. Her hair is a mess- more than usual- and she’s covered in bruises and scrapes. She’s not wearing her usual trench coat; her pants are ripped up the legs and her t-shirt has been turned into a tank top, with the left side completely stained in blood. Rhys stares at her, dumbstruck, as she stands in the middle of his office.
“Sorry,” she says quickly, “I know you’re busy and I should’ve called first, but I lost my ECHO and I can’t call my ship and it was so hard to get up here, with all the lock downs and emergencies, and you would not believe the day I just ha-.”
