Chapter 25: Eos Space Station - Felicity [The Empyrean Sentinel]
Felicity aka The Empyrean Sentinel was watching Pandora with giant floating giant screen like spheres. She was watching Angel, Axton, Brick, Claptrap, Flanksteak, Gaige whose screen had a faint love heart on it, Handsome Jack, Lilith, Maya, Mordecai, Moxxi, Steele, The Covernor, The Watcher, Roland, Wilhelm and many others. She was staring at one that shown a showing a tombstone saying you will be missed Crawmerax, F. She was angry that the original Vault Hunters as they had killed her most favourite pet that she had installed on Pandora as a secret weapon around a thousand years before. She was then disturbed by her agent, Hyperius The Invincible. Hyperius had been a regular Hyperion Engineer before she got her hands on him and now he was a completely loyal servant. He said, "My lady."
"What is it?" The Empyrean Sentinel asked.
"I have successful tracked down the specific location of Angel's prison." He said. "A place known as The Bunker stationed in Thousand Cuts"
"Excellent work, Hyperius" Felicity said. She grinned and now knowing Angel's location she could bring Angel to her. She summoned Angel to her domain. Hyperius remained in the shadows as she loomed over Angel. The Empyrean Sentinel said "Hello Angel" in greeting. Felicity then said, "We both have been wronged by Jack". Angel did not reply. Felicity transformed in a human shape reassembling her ECHO Image which she preferred to her other form. "Better," she said.
"Yes," Angel had managed squeaked out. Felicity then asked Angel to join her and using her power nearly convinced her. However, in the end Angel refused. So, she tired to kill Angel, but she realized that The Watcher had messed with her so did not kill instead she put her back in her prison for now until she could figure out another plan.
She summoned Hyperius and said "Keep an eye on The Bunker."
Hyperius said "It shall be done my lady." He disappeared back to his hiding place in Thousand Cuts. Felicity then stayed in this form and teleported herself to Drakensburg, a replicate of her…Felicity's old ship. This was under her personal control. It was orbiting the under-construction space station known as Eos. Eos was gargantuan black space station in shape of a sphere and it was armed with a planet destroying super laser. This laser utilized a rare Giant Seraph Crystal. This will the new HQ of Dahl which was currently temporarily inside Drakensburg. This was a back up plan just in case someone gets their hands on The Warrior. The laser was powerful enough to even kill her. Felicity was in her office to meet with Doctor Freeze, Chief Researcher of The Cryo-Tank project. The Cryo-Tank was one her designs and it will give her forces an edge against their enemies. A moment after she had appeared, Doctor Freeze entered the office.
He said, "I am sorry to bother you, but I have some grave news."
"What is it Doctor Freeze?" Felicity asked.
"The Covernor has allowed the plans to be stolen by Hyperion" Doctor Freeze reported.
"The Covernor will be punished for his careless mistake." She then asked, "Anything else?"
"Progress is coming on better as expected as Crazy Earl's old haunt was full of Moonstones. He seems to want Eridium now instead." Doctor Freeze said. "However, I fear Janey Springs might be figuring out what we are actually doing on Elpis."
"I get The Covernror to deal with her." Felicity smiled evilly. She then ordered "However to be cautious take the Moonstones to the Dahl 3rd Brigade Memorial Dam and continue work on The Cryo-Tank. The Covernor will tell our ally Flansteak to expect you shortly"
Doctor Freeze said "I shall do it intermediately" bowing. He quickly left the room. Felicity was not too concerned about her tanks being revealed as it won't matter as it had no weaknesses. Plus, it was only there to support the Dahl troops sent down. She sat there for a while looking out of a window out to the peaceful space. The Empyrean Sentinel then turned away from the window and decided to check in with Gaige. So, she teleported herself to the location of Gaige's robot arm. A warehouse full of boxes with Two Badass Marauders standing near cage that contained Gaige.
She heard one say in a creepy tone, "Now we can some fun with you," which made her angry as no one touched her property. The man continued to talk not that she was listening as she could out his buddy silently. She moved to attack him, but he caught her when he went to talk with his buddy as he said very worried "Who are you?"
"I am your worst nightmare," The Empyrean Sentinel's voice of echoes said full of rage. She crushed the life out of him. Felicity said at how easy it was to kill him "Pathetic,". She stared into the paralysed pretty face of Gaige. She blacked out and the next thing she knew Gaige was unparalysed causing her to freeze. Thoughts quickly went through her head at what could have happened. She said hiding her discomfort "Time for me to go." Something made her kiss Gaige on the forehead instead of on the lips as for some reason she did not want to overwhelm her Mechromancer. She put Gaige back into the cage to keep her safe for the moment while she sorted out what happened. She took the bandits with her as she left. She fed them to a Badass Pyre Thresher before returning to her office. She sat there deep in thought trying to figure out what happened when she saw Gaige. After a while she finally worked out her problem. A small part of herself contained all the good parts of Felicity. She compressed that part of herself back to where it had come from and if let itself free again then The Empyrean Sentinel will have to forced to act. Tannis and Mr. Torgue's communication caused her to smile as with the vault's location, she can get her hands once again on The Warrior. She spoke into communication device on her desk. "Get me, Piston." The washed up 'warrior' will be a good puppet champion to have. When he wins with Dahl's backing, The Covernor's popularity should get a boost. This in turn will strengthen her strangle hold Pandora once Jack is out of way of course. Someone then called her on her ECHO. "Hello who is speaking?"
"This is President Smith of the Torgue corporation…" A male voice said.
