"These Bandits and damn Tarkids are getting on my nerves. The things are disgusting. Hopefully, we can get this over with." Athena spat seeing the corpses of Tarkids and Bandits.

"Is that last of them Claptrap?" Athena asked before walking onward. Many Helicopters also flew from around and into the hanger targeting Athena and Claptrap who quickly ended them.

Suddenly a Ship flew on but looked strange as it was dyed in red. Seeing the driver they were relived.

"Hey, Just finished cleaning. Eww, the hell is that" Dracule look on disgusted at the weird green spider things.

"That is a Warkid it's infested this old abandoned Dahl facility," Athena explained.

*Bang*

*Bang*

*Bang*

"What's that noise?" Dracule asked before turning around to see where the noise was coming from only to see a scientist of some sort in a room. Cold sweat dripping down from his face he communicated through bulletproof glass.

"Hi, there! I'm Dr. Gladstone." The doctor revealed. Wearing goggles the man had messy hear and wore a strange suit of sorts with some tubing strapped around his forearms interconnecting with his back. He also wore a belt with gadgets and gizmo's sticking out.

"Oh, can you fix bodies?" Claptrap asked.

"I don't think he's that kind of doctor Claptrap. What's your story? You don't seem like the medical kind, to be honest." Dracule asked.

"Well, thanks to you I'm safe from the bandits. You see I came here to take some parts from this facility but the bandit came and took over halting my project. When I stated I was a doctor they forced me to heal their wounds but like you said I'm not exactly a medical doctor. I ended up screwing a wound and in retaliation, they tried killing me! So I ran here and locked myself here. I worked for Hyperion in R&D. Then you came here and saved me. You killed them and saved my life. Thank you." He thanked before opening the door.

"You sound like someone our employer would like to know. Claptrap, call Jack he might want to know." Dracule ordered.

"I'm already listening in," Jack answered.

"Say you know this guy," Athena asked Jack.

"Nope, I don't recognize him. Yo, What's your name bud?" Jack asked Gladstone.

"Ah, sorry bruv. Gladstone Katoa. D division. What bring yah here bruv?" Gladstone asked. (AN: All people on Elpis are Australian now...)

"Oh! D division? Isn't that where they hide all the secret brainiacs who work on all the top super secret awesome stuff aye?" Jack asked understanding.

"Uh, I work on experimental tech. The Division greenlight me to use the resources here. Why are YOU here?" He asked.

"Well, Gladstone Katoa, I need to get back to Helio's and retake the big ass laser on it from a buncha freaky-looking Dahl military types and if we don't the moon's gonna go boom and take half of Pandora with it. You know the usual." Jack explained.

"I mean that sounds like a good deal. I mean half of Pandora at the price of maybe innocent people I don't know." Dracule muttered which was only heard by Athena and Claptrap.

"You're no serious are you?" Athena asked.

"Maybe, maybe not. Who knows." Dracule replied before refocusing to Jack and Gladstone's conversation

"So why are you here? Shouldn't you be somewhere more station shipshy." He asked.

"Jack wants to build a robot army driven by my AI, then retake Helio's with it. I'm felicity by the way." Felicity explained.

"New name? I like it. Fits you," Dracule smiled.

"Oh... Gotcha! You're after my prototype, welp it's not finished!" Gladstone concluded.

"What? No, we're here to build robots. What, prototype are you talking about?" Jack asked flabergasted.

"Oh! Right... I was working on an... Off the books project, creating a master bot capable of digistructing an almost unlimited amount of bots! My prototype is almost done, but the scav's stopped me from installing some key parts. Besides, I wouldn't want something that powerful to fall into their grimy hands." He explained. (AN: Scav's are the bandits of Elpis)

'This guy! This guy right here! Tell me more!" Jack stated amused and excited.

"Yeah, bruv. We'll just need to finish putting the hardware together. After that, install the military grad A.I and POW! It should pump out combat-ready loaders!" Gladstone explained.

"That sounds AWESOME!" Claptrap commented.

"Way ahead of you, man! What do you think of ol' Felicity here for?" Jack asked.

"What? Do you want me inside some kind of "constructer" bot? That's not what I had in mind." Felicity stated exasperatedly.

"Ooh, "Constructer "! I like it! Nice! So, uh, tech dude. This prototype can digistruct combat loaders, right? Cause to be honest power suits, seem kind of... lame," Jack responded.

"I second that," Dracule agreed. (AN: Mecha's also count never was a fan. If you like em good on you. I'd rather have an automated army of em instead.)

"Yeah, totally! But first, you'll need to finish putting together the prototype. You'll need to get access to the main Bot factory itself through the Transportation Gate. I'll monitor the system's from here," Gladstone explained.

"Alright! Go team Army!" Jack motivated.

"Do I get a say in this?" Felicity asked.

"Sure, yeah, whatever makes you happy just make the loaders more deadly," Jack responded.

"Aye Gladstone by the way last guy who tried double-crossing me got nothing but a bunch of bullet holes in his chest and a stupid look on his face. He could have gotten worse but I'll just leave it at that, get me?" Jack stated sternly.

"Why would I cross you, bruv? You're trying to save the moon and you seem like a stand-up guy! Plus you're about to help me complete my life's work!" Gladstone responded. Exiting out through the back they started to make their way towards the Transportation gate.
