Summary
After Fiona and Sasha's unsuccessful attempt at stealing a tour guide's ID card aboard the Hyperion space station, Rhys is forced to come up with a new plan on how to infiltrate the late Handsome Jack's office. Fortunately for him, there is intel of a spare outfit hiding in an unsuspecting closed down shop that could potentially earn him the temporary title of Handsome Jack's no. 1 fan.
Where did this intel come from?
Obviously not the AI riding shotgun in Rhys' head *wink wink*.

Summary
The months leading up to this moment felt never-ending. What possessed Rhys to bring this idea to life were restless nights, guilt slowly filling every fiber of his being, questions left unanswered, and a sense that he needed some closure. He hated Jack. For his lies, for how many innocent people died, for how he made Rhys feel, even in his absence. But this idea that came to light during one of his endless therapy sessions, to bring Jack back- to get rid of everything that was holding Rhys back- it consumed his life. He knew it was a fool’s errand. That Jack wanted him dead. But he was determined to see it through.

Summary
If you're lonely, he's lonely.
Show your AI the love he deserves."I love you, Jack."

An AI and a human shouldn't be in a relationship, right?

Summary
Despite the townsfolk's disdain, Jack always knew his place of worship was on the range and in the fields. He feels closer to God and closer to his wife when working the ground, and every day he misses her dearly.
The rumors are as relentless as the humid heat pressing down on them: lock your doors; protect your cattle and sheep; something is getting into the barns at night.Setting a trap to stop whatever was making its way into his barn and putting Nisha's superstitious charms by the doors and windows gave Jack peace of mind.
Trying to figure out what was whispering outside, begging to be let in, did not.
