Definitely not. Jack holds grudges, he's definitely not about to stop forever...

For the moment, he's probably just distracted by the Crimson Raiders.

[That'll get a blink--before he nods] "Oh, yeah. We heard about them. Never tangled with them ourselves and we sure don't intend to but...if they're keeping Jack distracted, I'll count it as a good thing."

We'll see how long the resistance thing lasts... I can't say I like their odds, but, well. A distraction's a distraction.

"Yeah, I'll take it for as long as it'll last, that's for sure. Though if they're out for Handsome Jack, I'm just gonna hope they don't try and go to Oswald for help. Knowing him, he'd see it as an opportunity."

Hm. It'd be nice if they could just get rid of Jack. If only it were likely.

"I would wonder how he's survived this long, but I know how. People like him survive only one way, and that's destroying anything and everything in his path, but in the most subtle way imaginable."

...He was just a programmer originally, you know. Just another cog in the grand Hyperion machine.

[That part's not so well known. And wow, talk about... familiar.]

[now THAT is a surprise] "...seriously? Then what--he got a taste for blood?"

[personal profile] enigmaster 2020-01-20 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
Blood, power... something like that, probably. That sort of attitude was already encouraged at Hyperion, Jack simply took it further than anyone else.

One way of becoming the guy in charge is to just... kill whoever's currently in charge.

"....well, can't say it's not like that on Pandora, but yeesh." [Butch grimaces] "It's rough down here, but at least we have room to stretch out. I can't imagine what it's like bein' trapped with people like that on a space station."

Exhausting.

[Edward does NOT really have that Hyperion attitude.]

It's basically a constant balancing act. Be useful enough so no one decides to terminate you, but don't stand out so much that you become a threat people want to get rid of.

"Yeah, definitely not my kind of scene." [he huffs] "No wonder you got out of there when you did."

Not until I really messed up. I wasn't going to stick around just to die.

[he says, like he didn't almost do that when saving the citadel, lol]
