Pandora was home to psychos, gore, guns, and weird alien technology. This planet is where anything can and would happen, even during a madman's quest to get to the infamous vault to destroy his enemies and rule the planet with no mercy. Hope came to the planet in the most unexpected way, and it took place in an icy wasteland and the world's most annoying on the planet.

CL4P-TP, who most people called Claptrap, was shoveling around Windshear waste, looking for anything valuable in the snow-filled with corpses, vehicle parts, and broken guns. Claptrap found an arm buried with a cool-looking watch, and he tried to grab it but fell on his back.

This is my life now. How I'm supposed to get my revenge on Jack if I'm stuck on this stupid frozen waste, Claptrap thought.

Then he heard a weird sound in the distance. Claptrap went to investigate the sound. He went through the pile of ice and metal, even hopping over a dead muscular man. A large gust of wind blinded the robot until he bumped into something.

The robot's eye was clear again. He saw that he was standing in front of a person wearing damaged power armor.

Claptrap was shaking in fear and tried to be friendly. "Um, hello stranger."

The stranger tried to speak, but all that came out was static.

"What? You've got to speak more clearly."

The stranger steps out of the damaged power armor to reveal a 21-year-old woman who wore an armored Vault 101 jumpsuit with a leather jacket with a snake on its back. She had tan skin, brown hair that was in a ponytail, and dark blue eyes. This woman was the Lone Wanderer, and she was far from home.

"I was saying. Where am I?" said the Lone Wanderer

"You're on glacier," said Claptrap

"A glacier?"

"Yeah, by the way, who are you?"

"River."

"Well River I'm Claptrap I would like to continue this conversation at my place. It's not far."

"Alright, but try anything funny; I'll blast you into bits."

"Understood, and by the way, I noticed that outdated echo rip-off on your forearm, and I happened to get a better one from a person who passed away, I think twelve days ago."

Claptrap pulled out an echo device and handed it to River. She momentarily looked at the echo device before putting it on the side of his jumpsuit. Then he saw her health, a map, and her ammo.

Woah, this is trippy. This thing was definitely not made by Vault-Tec. River thought

River grabbed some of the damaged parts of her power armor and followed Claptrap back to his home. River still had many questions about where she was and why Claptrap was doing out the frozen waste. Then a voice and vision of a young woman came to her mind.

"You might be confused, but don't worry, I'll help anyway I can. Because you're here for a reason." Then the voice and image went away.

Great, I'm even more confused and kinda freak out.

Claptrap and River made it to his home, which seemed to be made of metal parts and ice blocks.

"Great walking long away will help you on Pandora," said Claptrap

"Pandora? We're on Earth?" said River

"Earth, no, we're far away from that place."

Huh? How could this possibly happen? That the teleporter was supposed to send me back home, not another planet?

Claptrap went to the front door. "And open." A scanner on the front of the door scanned the robot, and the door opened. "Just a little added security; gotta keep those Bullymongs at bay. Or they'll rip your eyes out."

"Noted," said River

River followed Claptrap in his home to see a furrance, random metal parts, frozen corpses, dead CL4P-TP units, and random objects.

"Sorry about the mess. Everything Jack kills, he dumps here—bandits, vault hunters, CL4P-TP units. If it sounds pleased about this, it's only because my programmers made this my default tone of voice. I'm actually quite depressed."

"Wow, that's a lot. Listen, is there a way off this planet?"

"Yeah, but I'm pretty sure Handsome Jack will shoot anyone down on his space station Helios."

"Who's Handsome Jack?"

"Man, were you born under a rock or ate some curious meat?"

"Technically yes and no. Just answer my question."

"Handsome Jack is the CEO of Hyperion, who was trying to open another vault on Pandora and is a crazy SOB."

"Vault?"

"Do I have to explain everytime to you, River?"

"Look, I'm new to all of this, so give me a break."

"Basically a vault that holds guns, treasure, and whatever alien technology Jack wants."

"Got it."

Claptrap went to the furnace to warm himself up. "Now we're safe in here, especially from this Bullymong named Knuckle Dragger who killed everyone I know on this glacier. I got a gun in the cabinet for an emergency."

Then an unholy sound of Bullymong came from the rooftop, and through the opening of Claptrap roof was Knuckle Dragger. River wasn't fast enough to get to her gun as Knuckle Dragger grabbed Claptrap and ripped out his eye. The massive Bullymong made his escape as River went to Claptrap.

"Are you alright, Claptrap?"

"Not really. Get the gun in the cabinet."

"Yeah about that. I got a few of my own."

"Oh…then let's get my eye back then."
