Chapter 5: Falling Out Of Normality Mission(s): Man's Best Friend * Side Mission
Wingman * Side Mission
DLC: Captain Scarlett and her Pirate's Booty
"Hey. Vault Hunter guy. Need your help. My grandma used to be friends with Captain Blade – that guy who buried the treasure. He left his pet stalker to my grandma when he died, and she took care of it and stuff but when she died and left it to me, and I'm like, "I don't wanna take care of a friggin' stalker they're gross!" So go kill it for me, it's in Oasis somewhere."
After reuniting Maya and Zero accept the second mission from Aubrey. They hop in their Sandskiff, and Maya drives off to the left going out of the hangers. Driving under an archway Maya goes forward a ways until she turns right up a slope. Coming to poles in the ground that act as barriers, Maya and Zero enter the sectioned off area on foot.
"Hey, you found the stupid thing. Great. Be careful – my grandma used to feed orphans to it, so if your parents are dead, like, be careful or whatever. He might be able to smell your orphan musk," Aubrey says.
The stalker is big and requires some work, but using teamwork and more than one gun Maya and Zero eventually get the job done. It takes a few hours though, due to its shield and thick armor like skin.
"You killed Captain Blade's stupid stalker. Yaaay. Go back to the bounty board and I'll pay you," Aubrey says congratulating them.
Right after killing Tinkels Maya checks her ECHO device for any more missions, she sees that Shade is requesting one and turns to Zero. He seems to have disappeared however, but a note is attached to Tinkel's corpse. It reads 'I will be resting / tell me when you've found Scarlett / I can't tell you why'.
Maya is at first confused, but then realizes that Zero is suffering from the 'event'. She decides to continue, and do the mission from Shade.
"Friend I have a…sensitive matter. You have met Natalie, yes? The town sexpot? She and I, you could say are…an item. I've planned to make her my wife, but I've lost the engagement ring. Could you find it for me? Please."
Going farther into the area, Maya finds a hidden pirate camp. After eliminating rapscallions, pirates, and a few grog masters she finds the wedding ring in a small metal shelf rack.
Shade's voice informs Maya, "You've found the ring? Oh, happy days – please, I feel too shy to propose myself; could you do me the favor of asking Natalie to marry me?"
Maya gets in the Sandskiff this time alone, and finds herself wanting of Zero's company. He may have been silent but he treated her well, and Maya couldn't figure out why he would've disappeared like that.
Sailing alone Maya arrives back at Oasis. She parks the Sandskiff – just looking at it reminds her of Zero – and starts climbing some buildings to get to another one of Shade's corpses. After climbing up a ladder and across a couple building's rooftops Maya find Natalie stretch across two makeshift wooden beach chairs – set up so their ends touched. A beach umbrella stands directly over Natalie, but it has some holes in it.
Shade whispers to Maya, "Just slip the ring onto her finger and see what she says."
"Oh, Shade! Marriage?! This is moving so fast – and ya know I don't believe in marriage! I'm sorry, Shade, but the answer is no!" Natalie says.
Shade says in disbelief, "She said NO?! Oh, woe is me! I gave you my HEART, Natalie! Return to me, friend! At least you have not betrayed me yet."
Testing the velocity of Oasis, Maya jumps down from the building's rooftop. "Yep still low velocity," Maya – getting worried about Zero now – goes to Shade and turns in the mission.
"Stuck up bitch," Shade says this and Maya's offended, but she then realized he's talking about Natalie.
Still looking around for Zero, Maya goes back to the bounty board and turns in the mission they both did for Aubrey.
Aubrey gives her response, "Here. Money. Woooo."
