Soon enough all of those Roland chose to go on this mission arrived and he shot me a look that I nodded to answer.
"We've come up with a plan to cripple if not outright destroy the Helios station that's been raining hell on us. I won't lie to any of you, it's a risky mission. Most of us might not survive it. But if we do this and succeed we'll have some peace and maybe even safety for the first time in months. I won't force anyone to go so if you don't want to risk it you can walk out the door, no questions asked." Roland said seriously.
Maybe it was his charisma coming in clutch or maybe these people he chose just were that dependable but whatever the case none moved a muscle. Roland just smirked at this like it was fully expected and started breaking down the plan. More than a few questions were asked about how safe this chosen bit of debris was and Roland left that to me to answer. I explained the barrier I had for the mission and even showed off the Oz kits they'd be using.-
A few of them wondered if I could even be trusted with making stuff like that but were silenced after learning who I was. While my actual face may not be well known on Pandora since I wore a mask here most of the time my name was a whole different matter. There wasn't a soul on Pandora who didn't know the name Alexander Drake and what it meant. On a planet where reputation meant pretty much everything my reputation was blindingly present. Monster, ultimate vault hunter, God demon, creator and CEO of the Drake corporation.-
My name alone held enough weight that most on this ball of dirt would think twice before crossing someone that mentioned it. They'd usually still go through with whatever they were going to do anyways but they'd think twice first and that meant something. For these Ex-lancemen though what mattered to them was that last title of mine. I was the one who took the crumbling Atlas and rebranded and brought it to glory once more. Additionally none of them seemed unaware of the fact they were using gear I had sent from my company.-
If anything more than a few seemed grateful for it since my stuff had likely saved their asses at some point or another. With that covered they seemed almost optimistic about the success of this mission. That was until I flat out informed them how exactly they were going to be getting to the station. As it turns out while the plan sounded good without this detail once you add it people get nervous. Not that I can blame them since it was a rather crazy fucking plan, I know since it was mine. Still nobody chickened out which I had to admit was impressive if nothing else.-
The next bit wasn't all that interesting as it was just Roland, Brick and the others in the group gearing up and mentally readying themselves. Soon enough we all stood in an area without too many eyes outside Sanctuary where I phase locked the group and teleported all of us to orbit. That dropped my current lifeforce total by half but I ignored it as I quickly found a chunk of a Dahl ship that had been blown up and was floating in orbit. I dropped the group off on it and they soon found a single tight but concealed and mostly intact room that they set up the barrier in as they squished together.-
Admittedly the room wouldn't have been so crowed without Brick but nobody was willing to mention it. Still I gathered a few chunks of space debris that I converted to energy for this next part as this was going to burn quite a bit more than normal. Once I felt confident in my energy reserves I phase locked the debris they were in and slung it right at the space station and by extension, moon. That wasn't the end though as after that I had to keep an eye on it to create slight course corrections if it drifted out of alignment.-
Finally after several corrections the chunk of debris crashed into the station. It was honestly not even large enough to damage anythin vital on impact which explained why the stuff hadn't been getting blasted, there was no reason. Still my part to play here was done and I teleported back to the city and took a stroll through it so any Hyperion spies could see me and report back to Jack that I was in the city still.-
Obviously the dudes first thought after hearing about Roland and co in the station would be that I was involved but plausible deniability is a bitch as he can't definitively say so. As far as he'd know I was minding my own business in the city, catching up with old friends and all. And I was, just after I sent him a not so pleasant surprise. For example I went over to Moxxi's bar where she tried to convince me to set up a Drake brand circle of slaughter type deal and put her in charge of it, for publicity of course.-
I certainly had the money for it and it would be a good way to advertise my company but if I was doing this I wanted to do it right. None of that low ball trash constructed arena nonsense that was strictly on Pandora. I'm talking a full ass space colosseum with luxury, living spaces and fighters and beasts gathered from all over the galaxy. Maybe i'll even create a super beast of sorts as the final challenge in a gauntlet of fights. Naturally I shared this idea with Moxxi and she looked like she was going to faint from excitement.-
She even said that if I was going that far why not further? I could have gambling and amusement parks as well. Go all in to turn the place into a monster of entertainment. I was invested at this point and seriously began to try and figure out how to get this sort of thing done. In the end I decided to pick out a rocky uninhabited moon and then convert the thing into a massive ship. This way construction would be considerably easier than just building the whole place in the vacuum of space. The builders would have an artificial atmosphere and low but present gravity to keep costs down a bit.
