"So how did it go?" inquired Maya leaning back in her office chair. She was sipping what appeared to be a coconut cocktail, complete with a bendy straw and a little umbrella.

"You didn't tell us the natives were freaking crazy" said Dion.

"Actually, I did."

"Well they listened to reason" stated Baldemar.

"Oh good. They called me a witch and tried to throw me into a river."

"Why?" inquired Taika.

"Apparently I was made of wood or something. It didn't make much sense to me."

Saprus shrugged. "Fine. Has Zero come back yet?"

"Yes" replied the assassin stepping into the room.

"How did it go Zero?" asked Maya.

He held up what appeared to be a shattered flower pot. "It was abnormal/They used these pots for helmets/They did not suffice."

"You killed them?!" exclaimed Taika.

"Yes."

"But…they were harmless! Little insane and possible cultic, but harmless!"

"Harmless means nothing/True enemies wear sheep's wool/Can never be sure."

"He's got a point" defended Dion. "I wanted to shoot them, but NOOOO! I have to restrain my violence."

"They were open to negotiation, and it still worked out" snapped the huntress.

"Whatever you say, Mom."

Maya chuckled. "You all remind me of the old crew. I had to play Mom all the time. Especially for that black-suited pain in the ass next to you."

"Pardon?" questioned Zero.

"You always wanted to kill everyone we met. Honestly, you were worse than Krieg."

"Ah, the psycho man/A bit odd, shouted too much/But a great ally."

"Yeah, I kinda miss the old gang" murmured Maya. "Axton went to Lynchwood, Krieg locked himself up, Gaige traveled to Tiberius Outpost, and Salvador went with Brick on some quest."

"They were looking for Brick's sister" reminded the assassin.

"Really?"

"Yes."

The Siren raised an eyebrow. "Damn. Where did they go?"

"Unknown."

"Hmm."

Maya shrugged. "Oh well. Knowing those two, they'll be fine. Now Zero, is my radio hooked up now?"

"Yes, I just finished/The wiring was easy/It can be used now."

"Awesome. Thanks."

"Welcome."

He strode out, still carrying his two coffins on his back. No doubt he was going to defend the front door like before.

The Siren slid over to a computer monitor and clicked a few buttons. Crossing her fingers, she pushed a large green one.

"Hello?" said a voice from the computer. "Seriously, is there anybody there? I really want to hear something besides my voice because I'm getting real tired of it."

"Hello? This is Maya" said the Siren.

"What? Holy shit! Those guys actually got it working!"

"Who is this? Am I on Sanctuary's signal?"

"Yeah, you are. Name's Baskerville."

"Yo what up Baskerville!?" exclaimed Dion.

"Hey, is that Dion? Tell that greenette I said yo."

"I can't help my hair color you asshole!" shouted the Titan.

Baskerville chuckled, his face slowly coming onto the monitor. "Funny. Now, I don't know ya Maya, so I'll just hand it over to Lilith."

He stood up and walked away, a small female replacing him in the seat.

"Nice to see you again Maya" stated Lilith smiling.

"Same to you. I was going insane out here."

"Speaking of crazy how's Tannis?"

Maya became downcast. "She…she didn't make it. She got jungle fever and died a year ago."

Lilith gasped in shock. "You're joking."

"I wish I was" murmured the Siren. "She was odd, but she was good company."

"I'm so sorry."

"Don't be. You didn't know. I should've tried to contact sooner, but I fell into a depression."

Lilith sympathetically stretched out a hand and put it on the monitor. Maya did the same, their palms touching.

"It's okay Maya" whispered the elder Siren.

"I know. I'm fine. I've been through worse."

She smiled, a small tear cascading down her face. "Besides, I had Zero here to help me. He doesn't talk much, but I know he cares."

"Ah, him. Glad to see he's still kicking."

"Oh, he's doing amazing. What's with the others?"

"We still haven't gotten contact from Brick or Salvador, unfortunately" answered Lilith. "Mordecai's been helping out around wherever he's needed. Axton and Gaige are helping our two largest cities out."

She smiled. "And we let Krieg out."

Maya gasped. "Really? He got better?"

"Much better. It's amazing Maya. I've never seen such a large change. He still has his psychotic fighting style, but he's doing normal things. Just the other day I found him looking up funny cat photos."

The younger Siren grinned like a little kid. "What happened?"

"He promptly screamed something to me about duct tape and pancreases and shattered the monitor."

Maya giggled. "That sounds like him."

"Yeah, you should see him sometime."

"Well I hope to do so. I'm really happy he's better."

"Are the new guys there?"

"Oh yeah. They're a big help. Remind me of the old group."

Lilith nodded. "It was like freaking double déjà vu when they came on board, believe me. But I need to speak with them."

"Sure."

Baldemar walked in front of the monitor. "What's up?"

"Listen, we need you all to get back here immediately."

"Oh? Is there something that needs to be killed?" inquired Dion.

"A bit. We're planning our first move against Bellum. We need you here."

"We shall be there" said Saprus.

"Good. We'll also need you to be there Maya. And Zero."

Maya nodded. "Understood. I'll stay on the line until the meeting's ready."

"Good. New guys.."

"You could call us Vault Hunters" offered Taika.

"Well, you're talking to a retired one. And a not-so-retired one sits next to you. It's pretty awkward."

"Fine. Call us whatever" said the huntress.

"Okay than. Now get back here ASAP. Even if you are new, we need you to hear what's going on. You're our single best resource."

Dion grinned. "Awesome. Let's hurry up and get back. I miss Sanctuary after this weird jungle shit I just went through."
