For his research, he's granted an opportunity to work with Handsome Jack, the infamous head of the most notorious criminal empire in Pandora's history who narrowly avoided the death sentence during reformation. Acclimated to his life in prison, where he rules the roost with his loyal circle of connections, Jack sees Rhys as nothing but something to amuse himself with at first, to which Rhys feels contempt for. But as they get further under each other's skin, their opinions of one another start to shift. Rhys begins to question everything he previously believed about Jack. Soon, Rhys finds himself less concerned with his research, and more concerned with his own moral downfall. Because Jack's got a plan to escape his fate of lifelong imprisonment, and Rhys just might be convinced to help him in regaining his freedom.

Upon waking the next day they indeed find themselves returned and unscathed, only to have a lot more questions regarding the vault… and the two.

Life only began again once the unknown other emerged from the sea.

Summary
Их судьбы сияют подобно россыпи звёзд: порочных, лживых, отравленных железными принципами на просторах Пограничья.

Summary
In the beginning, the beginning being Friday, October 24, 1890, there was a boy. A scholar of only eighteen years determined to spend every waking hour causing mischief for the priests that resided over St. John’s Seminary. It was a rather large school, the largest in Boston, and led by the most notable men in the city. Rector Tassier ruled over the school with an iron fist, made oh so evident by how the student body feared him. Our scholar was no different, a coward in every sense of the word. He was frail, an orphan begrudgingly taken in by Father Vasquez at the age of five to be raised in the church. Despite this, the scholar was, admittedly, a truly horrendous student. He slept in class, had a penchant for theft, and made an absolute mess of things, no matter the occasion. He had tried to be better about it; he really had, but he was determined to make a mark, one way or another. The scholar may not have been strong, or exceptionally bright, but he was more than willing to lie, cheat, and steal his way to notoriety. He was going to be remembered, one way or another.

Summary
“Listen, ma’am, I assure you that your coffee is iced, you can take the lid off and look inside to see the ice!” I pleaded Exasperated.
I was seven hours and fifty-five minutes into my shift, and I was so ready to take off my apron and storm out the door. The only thing keeping me from freedom was five minutes of pure agony. Again, the woman insisted that I was lying. She had her red talons gripping the counter and was basically about to climb over it. I sighed and gave up on arguing, I turned and went to grab more ice though I knew it would water down her drink and cause a whole new nightmare.
