Zer0/ECHO Recorders

Recording 1
Handsome Jack: Talk to me Angel. I need a Vault Hunter, and I need 'em yesterday.

Angel: I've found someone with great potential. His name is Zero. Or at least, he's called that. No one knows his real name, and --

Handsome Jack: -- No! No, no, no -- next! I hate those 'mysterious warrior' types. Nine times out of ten, there's nothing ACTUALLY special about them. Who else you got--

Angel: --Playing Zero surveillance footage.

Recording begins.

Bandit: Slag you, freak!

Death gurgle.

Zero: Leaves falling from trees / Snow drifting onto the ground / Life leaving your corpse.

Handsome Jack: ...Did that guy just speak in Haiku?

Recording 2
Handsome Jack: So what's this Zero guy doing on Pandora in the first place?

Angel: I dunno.

Handsome Jack: Angel, you've got a brain the size of a planet. Don't give me 'I dunno.'

Angel: From what footage we have of him, I can't even tell if Zero's human or not.

Handsome Jack: W-w-what do you mean, not human? Is he a robot? An alien? What?

Angel: I dunno.

Recording 3
Angel: Evidently, Zero has been on Pandora for a few weeks. I have satellite footage of him... conversing with the locals.

Handsome Jack: Roll it, Angel.

Bartender: Shaddap, Zeke. Whaddaya want - ninja... guy?

Zero: I desire a challenge.

Zeke: Pahaha - by the way your fruity ass talks it sounds like you're PLENTY challenged! Ha!

Bartender: Can it, Zeke! Sorry - I swear, it's impossible to keep that boy's mouth shut.

Zero: You would consider it a challenge, then?

Bartender: Uh, I guess --

Zero: This is intriguing. / The Vault, my masterpiece? / Challenge accepted.

Bartender: HOLY -- YOU CUT OFF HIS HEAD!

Recording 4
Bartender: HOLY SKAGSUCK, you decaptitated Zeke! Why - why's your helmet say 'zero'?

Zero: He was no challenge. / My skills have not been tested. / I need something more.

Bartender: Uhm, uh - the - there are some pretty dangerous bandit clans --

Zero: No.

Bartender: The creatures around here are --

Zero: No.

Bartender: Uhm, the, uh... the Vault?

Zero: ...Go on.

Bartender: Uh, alien power, lots of danger - a real challenge! Huge challenge!

Zero: This is intriguing. / The Vault, my masterpiece? / Challenge accepted.

Recording ends.

Handsome Jack: Well, when you're right, you're right, Angel. I think this Zero guy will do nicely.
