Atlas Mugged

This page contains spoilers

At the end of Episode 1, Rhys found himself inside a room that appears to be a lab. He is joined by Sasha, then Vaughn and Fiona. After pressing several red buttons, it is the players turn to press one. This leads to the discovery of an artifact of sorts. After the pieces are placed together, the device displays an Atlas and Rhys is visited by a very ghostly Handsome Jack and begins wondering around the room in what appears to be a trance. The other three characters attempt to take a closer look at the map but end up inadvertently closing it. This seems to alert a nearby terminal that is requesting a retina scan and Fiona is presented options. The computer only accepts specific scans and threatens to alert an individual who works or worked in the lab. Hearing a beeping sound, this person is located in a box somewhat resembling a coffin. The characters are unable to remove the body from the box and Sasha suggests removing the eye. Players will need to figure out how to accomplish this. After the retina scan is complete, the characters learn more about the Gordis Project.

The scene briefly moves forward back to their captor and we now see Rhys version. After Handsome Jack appeared, Rhys follows him up the stairs and Jack becomes annoyed with Rhys' talking. Jack is unable to rip Rhys' throat out and doesn't understand why. Rhys explains to him that he is dead and is only a hologram. The actual conversation is determined by the player. A second attempt to remove Rhys' throat causes Rhys to back up and inadvertently fall backwards over a rail to the lower floor and hits his head with an impact that should have knocked him cold.

Moonshots (missiles) are being sent from Hyperion to the bandit hideout where the characters are located and they escape in Felix's nearby caravan. During the escape the moonshots continue and Rhys and Vaughn become separated from the girls and the story focuses on Rhys. Handsome Jack reappears in his holo form visible to Rhys only and Rhys attempts to explain it to Vaughn. After contact with Elaine on Helios, the characters find themselves face to face with Vasquez who orders them to dig their own graves at gunpoint. The conversation changes based on player input but eventually ends with Rhys and Vaughn escaping and being chased by Vasquez.

Who should show up but their pal Loader Bot, well pal depends on the choices the player made with Loader Bot in previous encounters. Rhys and Vaughn discuss whether to go to Old Haven or Hallowpoint but the choice is left up to the player. Loader Bot flies them to the one chosen.

Bro, Bro, Bro, Bro bro bro, Bro, you know Bro?

At this point, the scene goes back to Fiona, Rhys and their captor.

Hallow Point Choice - The three land and Rhys and Vaughn begin looking around for clues. There is a powerbox located behind the billboard that presents players with a puzzle to solve.
