(ooc: the scene can be found here if you're interested!)

You're in Handsome Jack's office, the place you'd been working so hard to get to this entire time. Even before you were hired on at Hyperion, you'd idolized the man. Now here you were, sitting in his chair, the AI created by Nakayama sitting opposite of you and urging you on.

There's a tightness in your chest. A sense of accomplishment and pride.

"There it is," the AI says. "The executive override port. Jack in, and this will all be yours." The very moment you've been waiting for. "Jack in...you get it?" He was programmed to be just like Handsome Jack, after all.

He continues talking as you reach for the port. As you plug it into your head, Fiona's voice breaks through, reminding you that you're straying from the mission you'd been helping with. She'd understand though...right? This was all you ever wanted, and it was now in your grasp. Now that you're running things, your friends will be safe, you'll make sure of it.

"Oh, she's gonna be so surprised when she sees the two of us running Hyperion. And she doesn't even know I exist!" Jack's voice breaks you out of your musings again.

That's right. Fiona and Sasha don't know. Gortys doesn't know. Come to think of it, you only told Vaughn, and he'd basically called you crazy. Well, who's crazy now?

The port pulls itself from your head and Jack disappears with a laugh. "So, is that it? Are we done?" You laugh along nervously.

Jack's AI is now in the Hyperion systems, announcing your new reign to all the employees aboard Helios.

"Wait, so...This is...actually mine? This--This is mine...to control."

"Take it in, Rhys! Hyperion, Pandora, Elpis...Ohohoho, they are just the start. We'll rule this entire freakin' universe! You and me, kiddo. President Rhys and Handsome goddamned Jack!"
