Wait wait So Jack AND one of his body doubles just happened to wake up at the same time? And they're both from the past, but the body double is from more in the past because he definitely looks a lot more fit younger What the hell, this suck.
Um...Yes. Though when you put it that way it does sound very convoluted.
Don't worry about not-Jack, he's dangerous in his own way, but is far less unhinged then the real thing. The most important thing right now is to not let Jack know that he died. Or that Hyperion crash landed. Or that you know of me. That will only fuel to the fire and cause problems for us both.
Well yeah no kidding! The first time I toll him he died he tried to strangle me. It didn't work obviously because he was a hologram inside my brain but you know what I mean.
Then you can at least begin to imagine what he would do with a physical body. Not-Jack may be able to help us, but for now the best thing you can do is go along with Jack, pretend you are from his time- Or at least what he believes is his time- that you still work for Hyperion. Letting him think we are on his side is the best chance we have, for now.
What?? No way am I going to hang around listening to that guy talk about himself non-stop again. Do you have any idea how annoying that guy is? Last time I hung around with that guy it didn't end well for me! Or anyone!
Rhys this is just a theory but...people who died in their home world have been revived upon arriving here. What if that continues to apply throughout their stay?
I am all for killing Jack, but we have know if the Oribiters will bring him back, first.
I trusted you with sensitive information. Please... trust me in return.
For now just pretend that everything is normal. You do not know about Hyperion or Jack's fall, you do not know about the double, you do not know about me.
Jack will get bored with something he finds useless, and move on.
[ Wow. For better or worse Rhys is really easy to distract...It was her intent, but this is jingling keys in front of a baby or ice cream truck song playing down the street levels. ]
He certainly seemed interested in something. No faster way to a vault hunters heart then the promise of loot and weapons.
[ I would like to say Rhys isn't that bad but we all saw the robot battle in ep 5, so.......................... ]
It definitely worked when we wanted to go and fight the Traveller. We flew a buzzard overhead and he just whoosh. Caught my arm and everything It was one of the coolest days of my life.
[ Especially considering Angel's well of knowledge begins and ends at Jack having her practically (or just straight up) stalk those he was interested in. No personal experience of her own. This is a lot nicer, and in a way she's kind of vicariously living through Rhys. She hopes she'd be a lot....less...what he is, though. ]
[ Angel glances at the small clock in the corner of her device. Shoot, she's already been gone too long, doesn't have time for small talk. She'll have to rain-check being your galpal wingman for another time, Rhys. ]
I'm sorry Rhys, I have to get back to him. Please, consider what I've told you and try and stay safe. If anything happens, contact me immediately.
[ Admittedly it does make him feel a little cut off all of a sudden, but when he reads why he kind of understands. If he had to get back to Jack he'd hurry to do it too.
If Angie's saying it though that must mean she's been in contact with him too. ]
You're...one of the few people I talk to in this place. So please don't die.
[ They may have been at odds more often than not, but Rhys has been with her here from the start. If anything were to happen, she would miss him. Cause that theory of hers could always be wrong, and though that would be good with regards to Jack, if he took down anyone else with him, that would suck. A lot. ]

I know. I worked directly with him for years, remember?
[ 20 years, her entire life ]
But do you have a better suggestion?

Or kill you...but let's hope for the former.

For now, please at least try to stick to this plan. Let Jack become disinterested in you.
[ A luxury Angel will never be granted. ]
And if you are feeling antsy, you could always ask Zer0 for some extra protection. I saw how the two of you seemed to hit it off on the app.

Yeah you uh
You saw that huh? You really think it went well? I mean did he seem interested?

Heh, me too.
I'm thinking of whipping up a couple of corrosive rounds for him. Maybe sniper ammo? That's what he was using last time.
