The Final Song, For an Earth Angel
Fair Game Week 2020: Day 6 - Atlas Ball / Mantle Battle
Read it on AO3 here.
The night of the dance, Clover made sure not even a hair was out of place. He also mentally prepared himself for what would transpire. He had no doubt that Qrow would accept his love and the dance now, he just needed to prepare himself. It was a major thing he was doing. After checking his hair one last time, he made his way to the ballroom. Clover was guarding the punch bowl as Qrow arrived with the kids, Ruby eagerly dragging him along. Clover admired the man as he walked in. He was standing tall now, as opposed to the hunched over posture he would hold when he first arrived. And of course, he looked as stunning as ever. Hot, great with kids, amazing personality, and literally one of the best huntsmen to have ever lived. He was the whole package. How could Clover not fall in love with him? Qrow then split from the kids as they went do their own things, and made his way over to Clover.
âHey there hot stuff.â Clover winked. He poured himself another cup of the punch and took a drink. It tasted all right, but as to be expected of a school dance planned on such short notice.
âYouâre pretty easy on the eyes yourself Lucky Charm.â Clover chuckled.
âDrink?â He asked, offering him a cup.
âNo thanks. That stuff is almost always spiked.â
âIâve been watching it all night.â Clover enticed. Qrow kindly too up the offering, which pleased Clover. Before taking a drink, Qrow took a sniff of it.
âYup. Spiked.â Clover stopped mid drink, swallowing what was in his mouth with an audible gulp.
âFuck.â
âMaybe later.â Qrow winked. This man is going to be the death of me. Clover thought as a blush spread across his face. âIf you want, Iâll let Jimmy know what happened while you replace that.â
âSure.â Clover mustered as Qrow went to find the General, keeping his eyes on him until he disappeared into the crowd. With no Qrow to ogle at, he went to take care of the punch. On his way to dump it, he wondered how the punch could have possibly been spiked. He knew he kept his eyes on it like a hawk, so he tried to think of any moments he took his eyes off it. Then it hit him that the only time he did long enough for someone to slip in some alcohol was when his eyes were on Qrow. He knew that he only had himself to blame, but then again, it caused Qrow to flirt with him so overtly. It was another sign that Qrow liked him back, he just had to make the move. Walking more quickly. He searched for punch to refill the bowl, but found none and instead replaced it with water. If it came down to it, it would be easier to tell if it was spiked. After a whole half hour of that, he reentered the ballroom. He saw Ren and Winter chatting where he was stationed.
âGood. Youâre here.â Ren said.
âGeneral Ironwood instructed me to switch stations with you. Apparently, the students find me too intimidating. Someone like you is better off than me on the dance floor.â Ren motioned for Clover to follow him.
âAlright...â he said suspiciously, wondering what Ren was planning.
âAnd remember to blend in!â She shouted as they merged into the crowd. Apparently, they were going deep into the crowd where Qrow and the rest of the kids were. He was just finishing a fun little dance with Ruby before joining Yang and Blake, mostly just to embarrass Yang. As soon as she noticed Clover, she mentioned it to her uncle, thankful for the Ace Opsâ appearance.
âHey there Lucky Charm. Ready to show these kids how itâs done?â
âOnly if I can get the last dance.â
âI think that can be arranged. But until then,â Qrow pulled him into the fray, almost causing him to trip, âletâs have a good time with everyone!â They first danced with each other, a spectacular, if just a tad too vulgar for the setting, display of their bond as they moved in sync with each other. Soon, they took turns dancing with each of the kids, having fun, and laughing at little jokes and minor missteps here and there. Clover was getting tired, and went find a seat so he could take a small break. The dancing took a lot of energy, but it was undeniably worth every second. As he watched Qrow and Nora share an energetic dance, Ren took a seat next to him.
âOn my way down here, Weiss told me she saw an empty balcony two floors up. It should be about right above us.â
âThanks, Iâll keep that in mind.â After a moment of comfortable silence between each other, Ren spoke up again.
âYou know, we all care about you too, not just our Uncle Qrow.â It caught Clover off guard. He wasnât expecting this talk so soon, especially at a dance.
âThat⌠means a lot to me. Thanks.â He could not fully convey how much it did mean to him. They sat there, watching the love of their life dance and have fun, knowing that the final song was next. He felt content. As the song stopped, Ren got up.
âSee you later, Uncle Clover.â Did I hear that right? Clover could only stare in disbelief as he walked away. He almost didnât notice Qrow as he sat next to them.
âHaving fun hot stuff?â Now that he was closer, Qrow noticed that Clover did look really hot, in both senses of the word. Some of the gel in his hair was undone in the chaos of dancing, leaving some strands out of place.
âWith you? Always.â
âItâs kinda hot in here, donât you think?â Qrow asked as he tugged on his collar.
âI know a place where we can cool off, if you want. Itâll still be hot with you there, but I think we can manage.â
âLead the way Boy Scout.â Qrow said as he stood up. âIâll be riiight behind you.â Qrow had to hand it to Atlas. They sure knew how to design a good uniform. They continued chatting and laughing as they always did. Once they reached the decently sized balcony after a short walk, Qrow filled him in on what he missed while he was taking care of the punch. They could hear the sounds of the party as they droned on below them. The thing that made Qrow laugh the most was when he told Clover that Yang had tripped right into Blake. He was laughing so hard as he leaned against the railing that he could barely tell what happened. It was endearing. So much so, that he wanted to tell Qrow that he loved him right then and there, but he didnât. He wanted the moment to be as perfect as could be. However, his laughing fit and Cloverâs vehement admiration was interrupted by an announcement.
âIf I can have your attention please,â spoke Ironwood. âthe final song is about to commence, so grab a partner, and proceed to the dance floor.â That was Cloverâs que.
âMay I have this dance?â He asked Qrow with a bow, a hand extended out for him to hold.
âLucky for you,â Qrow began as he took his hand, âIâve been waiting all night for a certain lucky guy to ask me.â Hand in hand, the final song began. They both gazed into each otherâs eyes, the light of a shattered moon making them sparkle.
âYou look stunning, as always.â Clover complimented.
âOn most days, I chalk it up to luck.â he joked. The slow song dictated their simple, but intimate movements.
âAnd today?â
âReally lucky.â The both chuckled. They continued their dance in content silence, slowly inching closer and closer. âYou know, I love you Clover.â Qrow smiled gently, a slight blush arising. Clover supposes he should have considered that Qrow could have told him first.
âI planned to tell you later, but it looks like you beat me to it.â
âDo I get a prize for first then?â
âIâd say so, my lucky charm.â They closed their eyes, and slowly leaned closer into each other. As the song neared its end, they dared not break away from each other. Months of pining were finally manifesting in that small, but so significant moment. They only finally stopped just so they could catch their breath. âI love you too Qrow.â Together, they leaned against the balconyâs railing, holding each otherâs hand, gazing lovingly at each other, recounting all the times they so overtly flirted, and the times the kids poked fun at them. Moonlight shining against the Qrowâs dark clothes and salt and pepper hair made him look angelic. Clover told him about Ren, which made Qrow laugh in surprise.
âItâs always the quiet ones you've got to watch out for.â
âI can tell.â He wasnât going to tell Qrow that Ren called him Uncle Clover, yet. That was a story for another day. The sound of a vibration interrupted their conversation. Clover Picked up his scroll out of a pocket. He sighed sadly.
âDuty calls.â He really didnât want the moment to end.
âHmph. We should get going. Itâs starting to get cold anyways. And who knows, maybe Yang and Winter started a Big Sister Dance Off.â
âHeh, I would pay to see that.â They continued their walk back to the ballroom hand in hand, enjoying the silence and each otherâs company.
âI hear Vacuo is warm this time of year.â Qrow said just before they opened to the doors to reenter the ballroom. âYouâre welcome to tag along with us if you like.â Clover thought for a moment.
âYou know, I think Iâll take you up on that offer.â Qrow gave him a quick peck on his cheek.
âLucky me.â

Sanctuary-III: Demo Analysis
Hi again! Iâm here to do my full Sanctuary-III analysis. (im back on my bullshit of actually structuring posts like a functioning human. holy mother of g-)
Tl;Dr: So from what Iâve gathered so far, Sanctuary-III looks like a Maliwan-inspired ship, but was actually built by a company named <SUPAMAX MFG>. I do think the ship we go on in the demo is taken from another part of the game, probably the time period when weâve reached the Maliwan/Monastery planet of which I donât know the name (the one we see Maya on). I understand that we can see Pandora in the demo, but itâd be easy to travel back there and simply remove the option for the monastery planet when we go to Promethea. I have a couple reasons for thinking this, so Iâll go over it when we get there.
For now, letâs get started :D
So, even though weâre going to be doing a full analysis of the demo, I did want to start with our previous sightings of the ship.
Ellie hanging onto a smaller version of the ship.
Lorelei resting her foot on a larger model
one hiding behind Zane near the car
better view below:
and a ship as we see it on the cover art:
notice I say A ship because there are definitely differences between this one and the Sanctuary-III we meet in the demo.
Most notably the colors/design, but also the back engines are missing from below the spoiler and the fins on the front are different shapes. Additionally, the one in the cover has windows that are significantly different from the demo and the engines in demo have fins coming off the tops that we donât see here. Iâve been yelled at before that this isnât a noticeable enough difference to think about, that the developers just decided to roll with it, but honestly I believe if the designers put that much time into ensuring the cover art has a dozen easter eggs to solve, why would they look at the ship and decide âeh, thatâs good enoughâ? I wanna believe theyâre not that laidback about this.
So Iâll give them the benefit of the doubt for now and provide a handful of theories as to what this cover art ship could be:
1. Sanctuary-II or an earlier model of Sanc-III (or both)
2. A shuttle used to move people to-and-from places Sanctuary-III is too large to access and the drop pods are too violent to hit (Iâm thinking meteors/asteroids here) annnd hopefully we get to putz around space in one
3. A fully separate ship from Sanctuary-III that weâll have to use later on in the game, either due to Sanctuary-III being destroyed, or other weird circumstances that would render it unavailable. Could possibly be used to reach Elpis?
Anyway, enough of that. Letâs get right into the thick of things with the actual ship from the demo!
This hit me right in the heart. I love that u can see Pandora in the background, too.
The actual ship! Do you see what I mean by those minor differences to the cover art ship? Moving on.
The reason I thought this ship was mainly because of the huge swaths of orange and the blue engines/bridge. I had thought it was Atlas as well at one point, but retracted both those statements when I saw the name of the manufacturer printed everywhere inside lol
It is possible it was made specifically for either of those companies. I am leaning towards Maliwan, so Iâll point out my reasons why as we move through this.
Also, check out the docking bay on the bottom there. That door leads to the large room we see Ellie in. I think the fins on the front of the ship are to hold it up when itâs landed so we can drive vehicles out the bottom. I am hoping for a scene near endgame where the ship is shielding us from huge attacks from above as we drive out of the bottom and, right as we escape, it collapses behind us. Fingers crossed.
the back of the ship. And the engines I mention you canât see protruding out the back on the cover art.
Oh, and say hi to the CoV!
thatâs where Troyâs sword gets launched from orbit
as we zoom in, we can see a whole bunch of things
to start, looks like Hyperion got some nice rebranding. I hope Blake took over tbh
a poster of moxxxiâs. I love the feather in her hat; I wonder if that means her a mordy got back together...
also im going to take the time to point out
how much I love that each Vault Hunter gets something that glows. Amara has her tattoos (and she can customize the color!), Fl4k has their eye, Moze has Iron Bearâs digistruct pack, and Zane has a cool jacket. Rock on my babies, youâre all beautiful. Oh, and the whole teleporting animation for this, I donât know if its like a âfirst timeâ only thing or what, but I love it, I love it so much. Iâm so glad weâre going to be able to see our Vault Hunters in the third person.
okay moving on
so right away you notice the guide telling you where places are, with arrows point in different directions. Itâs quite hard to read at the moment, but we do see it again later.Â
We all know about the quick change station and the lost-and-found, so I donât think I ought to go over those right now.Â
claptrap seems to have his own little cereal or something, not sure if thatâs been sighted anywhere else, but im afraid for anyone who eats it
player quarters! holy balls im so excited for these
We can see the display cases everywhere, but thereâs also a vault (not that kind) in the back left. I imagine thatâs the bank. Hoooopefully we get a larger storage capacity or my mule characters are gonna have a ton of new buddies to talk to lol
better look at the cereals.
also apparently that water bottle we see in the Game of Thrones joke the twitter posted is an actual asset in the game.
While we have singular display cases for guns, it looks like items get their own display cases
it can show off rarity color and on the bottom left, you get to see exactly what youâre looking at. no more confusing grenade mods for shields in this house
a non-holographic poster for the Typhon Deleon movie. I think this is the first weâve seen outside of Promethea. I guess Amaraâs a fan.
A vault symbol rug, and the symbol spray painted onto her punching bag. I think that poster in the back is a Monty Python reference? I didnât get quite a good look at it, we might see another one later on.
Amara has a window seat, Iâm actually hoping weâll be able to hang out in our rooms and look out the window at space. I would honestly spend so much time here. Also, regarding the bed (not pictured, thatâs the window seat), Iâm wondering if that will have any gameplay effects or if it's just aesthetics. I hope itâs at least bouncy...
she does have some jakobs crates holding up the plants. Donât know if that has anything to do with her backstory or if its just to fit the aesthetic of her room.
weâre also told âagain, you can modify your player quarters to how you want to playâ which... I donât know if Iâm looking too deeply into that, but it seems like weâll be able to pick and choose things like furniture or overall layout. I wonder if theyâd let us cycle between the other VHâs rooms. Not sure exactly what itâs supposed to imply, but it is something to point out.
Our first look at the SUPAMAX MFG logo. âShips made Quickâ
We also get our first look at Ellieâs cargo bay. More on this later
behind the curtains to the left of here
a poster of Jack and some lootable washing machines. Weâve seen the poster before, from what Iâve heard it's a movie poster starring timothy doppleman. Which... What a legend.Â
Now, I do want to point out we see this logo next to the cargo bay
this is one of the reasons I thought the ship was Atlas at first, however you can tell thereâs no gap on the right of the triangle and the bottom edges donât match. I definitely think the new Atlas logo is a delta to signify change, though, cause Rhys is a big ol nerd.
some blueprints of the ship and a bunch of reused posters from BL2 thrown in for decor purposes. Thereâs another poster of Typhon to the left of that, but since weâve already seen it, fuck âem
We also see a buttload of Maliwan crates hanging around the ship, matching the color design of the one we saw floating around spaceÂ
hereâs one of them!
a better look at the blueprints as a standalone poster. It looks like âSanctuaryâ was written over with something, but I canât make out what. also checkout how the paint on top doesnât match the paint on the cover artâs ship. Nor does the cover art have the fins coming off the engines like we see here. I actually just noticed that even the spoilers are different shapes.
Moving on before I go off on another tangent
a poster for Marcusâs shop
the new golden chest as Randy called it. I believe weâve seen the animation already, where the guns splay upwards like a peacock or smth
a cowgirl hangin out on more Maliwan chests
Marcusâs new sign. Honestly? Heâs rocking the bun.
this dude we find walking out of the store. Donât know what his deal is, but Iâm digging it.
this Amara already has 5/8 Pistol SDUs unlocked! (Also, there are 8 max SDUs) Makes me think sheâs a high level character. Thatâll come into play later lol
5/8 Backpack SDUS. I didnât show it but she also had 1/8 Shotgun SDUs. Also only +3 to backpack space each. Considering Amara already has 5 unlocked, that means we get the regular 12 backpack space to start. D:
bank space only gets +2. Amara already has 2, meaning the bank can only hold 8 items without upgrades. F in chat for the big bank dreams. Max amount the bank can hold is 24. Somebody comfort me... hopefully these SDUs increase exponentially đ
the mystery SDU. It looks like a box with a question mark on it, giving out guns and grenades. Makes me worry this is some form of loot box, but considering it can be bought with cash in-game, thatâs probably a good sign. Maybe you can buy golden keys in game to open the gold chest now? Randy said no microtransactions and, while he is Randy, I want to believe him (disregarding the skins fiasco because we all knew that was coming).
since iâve also seen speculation that itâs the upgrade for the capacity of the Lost-And-Found, I think thatâs probably what this actually is.
the shooting range we can see from here. Doesnât appear to have any targets yet, but it may be like the one in BL2 where they only appear when we enter.
more Maliwan boxes to the left of the shooting range.
Crew Quarters sign!
some very big (tm) Maliwan crates
tannisâs sign!
this NPC actually seems important, Iâm wondering if sheâll give us a side quest or something
what iâm guessing is the power core to the ship. Itâs in such a great place to get shot... i wonder if perhaps... weâre going to have to do that at some point...
âainât no place like spaceâ I love this place.
also looks like thereâs a shortcut here. You can see the planks across the pipes, the balcony, and the railing here thatâs gonna be easy to get over. Excitement!
looks like a control panel right in front of the core. Yeah, thereâs definitely going to be something related to it. Maybe weâll get attacked and we have to go stabilize it. Maybe our ship will get hijacked and weâll have to blow it up from the inside. I canât be the only one who thinks this place is wayyy too grand to not get destroyed...
better look at that bad boy
the opening to moxxiâs bar
actual bar
i have no idea what this is, but i dig it. Also the zer0 for the O is making me go đ¤ i donât THINK Zer0 would get involved, but then again, they are doing missions for Moxxi in Tales, so maybe the two got together to make something
this door seems different enough and detailed enough (red glowing light) to make me think weâre going to be unlocking this and going through it at some point. Then it shall glow green and make me happy instead of frustrated. the minimap, unfortunately, does not agree with me, but I want to believe. or thatâs gonna bother me to no end. Maybe some sort of âwe just escaped control core angelâ situation, idk.
some slot machines. Ca$hTrap! and Tinxâs Hijinx. Looks like an NPC is using the latter though so idk if it will be available to use.Â
scoring system. Looks like the ??x row will give us a new character skin!! hype.
the uhhh... Lava Lamp column... will give us...? ???
A devil fruit?? A grenade? wtf is that???
3 bananas gives us new colors! Crowns = head
the... Eridium...? That seems way too pink to be Eridium tbqh. It reminds me more of Seraph crystals, but maybe its a reference to the âEridiumâ growing out of the ground on Promethea? ...... Maybe thatâs growing because Atlas/Typhon actually DID open the Vault on Promethea
uh anyway
The last column is about more crystals and then cash and then the last one... I assume the icons are Claptrapâs eye (considering the game), but the reward? i think thatâs the grenade the demo player gets in the demoÂ
weâve also got Loot Boxer (also taken by an NPC) and Vault Line. Iâm wondering if the NPCs using the machines are just a gameplay mechanic and theyâll disappear after a certain level/event. Maybe those ones give us better loot. idk.
for Vault Line, i think that says âKnockout Prizesâ but I could be wrong. More importantly, it looks like we can get legendaries from this one! First column shows a green/purple/yellow (legendary?) gun. I canât tell what the other icons are meant to be, though. i think the next 3 are shields, then maybe class mods? or... grenade mods? i donât know. The last one is a total blob for me, no ideas on that. Also wondering if that machine costs Eridium to play or something, 1) because of its design and 2) because the rewards seem sooo much better than Claptrapâs.
outside we see the Crew Quarters sign for the first time and, interestingly enough, a TV broadcasting the same symbol we see being broadcasted all across the CoV camps. Whatâs up with that?
infirmary and crew quarters signs on the wall this time
more Maliwan crap. even says it right on the tin. Why is there a pokeball on there?
a map of the ship. We see this on a bunch of monitors, even ones on Promethea, for some reason. This one is mirrored. dunno why.
more signs. Left top to bottom: âCargo Bayâ âArmoryâ âInfirmaryâ
Right top to bottom: âEngine Roomâ (OwO) âCrew Quartersâ âCargo Bayâ âArmoryâ annnd nothing on the last line this bend around. when they turn the corner, you can see that it, too, says âinfirmaryâ
Also, the Heatant and Coolant Pipes lmao
âLAB/SICK BAYâ pointing to the left towards Tannisâs corner
so, hereâs where we get our first glance at something very very interesting
now, the crew makes us think this is our first time visiting Promethea in the demo. But if it is, why are there Promethea civilians wandering around the ship? I believe i go over this some in an older post, but Iâll recap:
1) It could be that Sanctuary III was already in the air before the game starts and had already visited Promethea to take some Civilians off Rhysâs hands so he had less to worry about. That would mean that weâd need a shuttle or something to reach the ship in order to activate the fast travel station, which is (possibly) where the ship on the cover art could come in. Because in the borderlands universe, you need to reach a Fast Travel station first before youâre able to teleport to it and if Sanc III is flying and Lilith doesnât have her powers, weâre stranded on Pandora. (Alternatively, the ship could come down from space, but... I kinda doubt it can without not being able to take off again. Maybe borderlands just has cooler spaceships... idk. They were able to make a caravan space capable). Unfortunately, this would mean those screencaps from the new trailer that looks like Sanctuary III being infested with wildlife would not take place on early-game Pandora/that we wouldnât rescue the ship and claim it as our own. (We could possibly get Sanctuary III in the air in the new BL2 DLC if this is the case.) The ship getting infested then could take place above the Maliwan planet or Promethea or soon after we join the crew and weâre sent down there to clean it up as a side quest. Or thereâs a time skip and the ship gets overrun and we have to fix it. Now thatâd be rad...Â
2) gearbox is being sneaky beaky about the demo time. We do see Maya later on, which leads me to believe this takes place after we meet her. Where does it look like sheâll be? On the Maliwan/Monastery planet. It could be possible that the devs took the ship back to Pandora and simply removed the Maliwan planet from the list of places to take our ship. That would leave Promethea as an option while also explaining why there are both Promethean citizens and Maya on board. Could also explain Lilith having her tattoos back, since we donât know the events of the story that lead to us going to find Maya. Though, I think I have an idea... Iâll leave that for my Maya masterpost though. Lilith also says âWe arrived in one piece... thatâs a firstâ when we travel to Promethea, leading me to believe either thatâs where Sanctuary-II warped and got destroyed (maybe explaining why there are Promethea Civilians with us now), possibly in the asteroid fields, also maybe due to a mechanical failure, or Sanctuary-III, when it first went to Promethea with us, got a bit damaged by the rocks floating around Promethea or some other thing like the CoV attacking, idk. What are those rocks for, anyway? ....... I gotta make a post on that, donât I? oi oi oi...
Moving on
the front of the Infirmary
....
this kinda looks like a baby T-Rex. There are T-Rexes on the swamp planet, which we now are assuming is Promethea, arenât there? Oh hell yeah. If the swamp planet ISNâT Promethea Iâm gonna be all like [shocked pikachu face]. that outskirts area was really making me believe.Â
anyway, see above lol
we also get another glimpse at the SUPAMAX logo
some lootables in the back
not sure if these are Maliwan or not.
Zed also has a machine in the back here. We havenât seen him around yet, but odds are heâs still kicking because of this. And hopefully still friendly with the crimson raiders. Maybe Tannis locked him in a closet or something, idk.
oooo i havenât seen this screen before
i want to know what it isssss
this also looks eerily familiar. brb, gonna go find what this reminds me of
okay, so
not sure if its exactly the same material/type of symbol, but this location, what i have dubbed the âtempleâ cuz i got no better name for it, does have square emblems across the floor with borders.
so, interestingly, this one has what looks like an eye with beams shooting out of it. if that description sounds familiar to you, it should, because
EYEBALL
now i got no idea if these are related aside from being in the same game, but it does interest me that theyâve both got eyeballs and streaky beams.
Oh and Tannisâs Vault symbol doesnât have the writing (?) across the edges, but I will say, it does kinda look like cuneiform and eridian writing had a baby. Like, if you super heavily pixelate the Watcherâs name on her title card...
tbh Iâve theorized a lot about this place, but havenât found anything I particularly like. From the place where the first Vault Atlas ever opened is (meaning its on Promethea and could explain why Tannis has that slab), the Great Vaultâs holding place (where the skeleton on the ground is Typhon and his final journal) (perhaps the Great Vault is the entryway to the Eridian homeworld... that could explain why the CoV are trying to find it... might be a reason why theyâre being manipulated by new aliens to find it. god please let them be the Seraphs...) uh, anyway, I also had an idea that it was someplace on the Maliwan planet, and maybe that it was in the archives area that was taken over by Maliwan and that the skeleton was of a Siren. That would explain why Maya is shown handing the book to Little Blue in the MoM. I go over that in an old post though, so moving on.
 oh, thereâs also a frame of Tannisâs animation where the dinosaur she was inside stands up and clips through the table:
thereâs a small room over here we donât get to see, and Iâm wondering if thereâs another NPC joining us on Sanctuary-III that isnât showcased. god I hope if its pickle he got more bearable as he got older because dear god i hated him in tps. I canât see Athena nor Janey with a desk like that. Maybe Vaughn? Though would he really want to go back to being an accountant after everything...?
more maliwan boxes btw. looks like someone scribbled on this one lol
now we head to the bridge!!!
looks like an arcade game lol
but possibly a control mechanism for shuttles coming in??? đ đ đ
Crew Quarters and the SUPAMAX logo
oh yeah, and in case you were doubtful that this was a borderlands game:
âCaution: Excessive Farts Detectedâ
the Bridge!!!
Weâve got a holo-projector thing up front like weâve seen Rhys use, as well as a mini one used as a digistructer during Loreleiâs hamburger quest. Most interesting, Lily has her tattoos! Definitely wondering if this takes place later on in the story or if they swapped her early game model in. either way, theyâre definitely there.Â
some cool art of Sanctuary III zooming away
just have to say
i love this so much
its great
okay moving on
I wish theyâd be more specific. do ruins = vault? Typhon says he discovers the Vault and the Key in one fell swoop. if Typhon DID give atlas the Vault key and the location to the Vault (and weâre not just listening to an ARG for the movie or smth) then why didnât Atlas open it immediately?! I mean, in TFTBL Cassius says Gortys is their last ditch attempt at opening a Vault! So what the heck?? I canât believe that it would be less than 200 years from the first Vault being discovered to the Eridians abandoning everything. like vault keys take 200 years to naturally charge so thereâs no reason why it wouldnât be already charged and available (Unless its more of a cycle thing where it charges and then discharges after a while for safetyâs sake??).Â
And another thing, if that IS Eridium growing out of the ground on Promethea, then they totally DID open the first Vault. Or at least Typhon did. Unless there was something stopping them... like... Maybe in the temple those demon-looking-things stopped them from getting through and thatâs why we find a bunch of skeletons around the place? Or maybe the Guardians got to them, or some other Eridian protection scheme. i donât know... im so confused... brain hurt...
anyway
why the fuck does Elpis look like this
is that the light side of the moon? dear god im blind.
hhhh at least we can still see the crackening
lowkey wondering if the ship is based off of Eridian tech. I could totally see a slip-space drive being based off Lilithâs phasewalking
when we finish travelling, Lily says âWeâve arrived in one piece. thatâs a firstâ and yeeah, i can see whyyy
rocks. rocks everywhere. tbh i think these rocks are 1) why lilith says that (weâve either been to Promethea before in Sanc-III or Sanc-II got decimated slip jumping here) and 2) why the VHâs entry into Promethea is apparently so awful Lilith needs to ask if theyâre actually still alive. also, we get to see just how much of Promethea is cities and goddamn. thatâs a lot for a borderworld.
sorry for the youtube bar.Â
Deck A: Hammerlock - Infirmary/Tannis - Deck B: Marcus - Moxxi Deck C: Cargo Bay
I am honestly so curious how they got this ship with that lettering on it. I guess they couldâve made it themselves, but... you gotta wonder... maybe we get the ship built on Pandora by Ellie. Or she helps us fix it up after we remove all gross rat things from it.
MAYAAAAA
better look at the Monty poster plus some other stuff, like a clock, dartboard, and a gas mask. Also if anyone knows what that says up top there, please let me know, im super curious!
Hammerlockâs quarters!
this guy has the same facial hair as Zane. I swear to god if I hear âOh, thatâs me fourth brotherâ im gonna lose my absolute shit
something to the far left outside of Hammerlockâs quarters weâre not allowed to see yet :(
thereâs also graffiti of âCharge port hereâ around the ship and i think thatâs hilarious. Itâs like an airport
put your ports in, damn it!
Ellie!!!
More maliwan boxes to her left, btw
the actual cargo bay. remember how i said to look at the bottom of sanctuary III to find the door? Iâm like 90% sure thatâs it right there. Randy also says âdown here we can check out the vehicles weâve collected AND this is how/where we get access to the planets while weâre in orbitâ.
Crazy Earlâs black market! dunno how heâs actually, like, connected to the black market from here, but, hey, who knows what heâs got in there.
veteran rewards, apparently drawn over one of Marcusâs machines lol
âInter-Galacticâ a little drawing of Sanc-III and another Maliwan box (you can see why I think this ship is Maliwan, right?)
Clappy and his GF... yeah...
one very big digistruct pad. listen... im praying for a space shuttle. i really am.
finally:
the drop pod
god this looks awesome. I bet weâre gonna have many a fun time in there lol
I finally get to live out my dream of being an ODST in borderlands. what badasses they are.

Yeah combined but just like the afterglow fic
Might not be exactly like it, but hereâs some fics that do remind me of it:
the dead things we carry by MediaWhore:
Summary:Â He hasnât seen him since that day in France, that horrible muddy day where for one terrifyingly long second, Louis really thought he was going to die. He winces with the phantom pain, the hand not holding his cane going to his stomach automatically, remembering the franticness, the tenderness, of Harryâs hands while Louis was bleeding out.
This is the man who saved Louisâ life.
For one second, Louis fears Harry wonât recognise him, but his eyes widen when he turns to his left and they meet Louisâ. He takes a step forward, reaching for him with a shaky hand before stopping himself.
âLouis,â Harry says with a shudder and Louis doesnât think his name has ever carried more weight.
This is the only man Louis ever thought about kissing for real.
âOh,â Mrs. Padley says, clearly taken aback. âYou two know each other?â
There are some things people never fully come home from. Until, one day, if theyâre lucky, home comes to them.

A Word Weâve Only Heard by lululawrence:
Summary:Â So, where are you headed?â Liam asked, not wanting to sit in awkward silence for their journey. Â It was twelve hours to Chicago, and that was far too long to sit and not chat with his fellow passenger in front of him.
âChicago,â he answered, his blue eyes meeting Liamâs own. Â âItâs home. Â Been on the road for quite some time now, itâs the first time Iâll be able to sleep in my own bed in almost a month.â
Liam whistled. Â âYou must be pretty excited.â
The man gave a soft smile, which made him look younger than Liam initially expected; he might even still be in his twenties. Â He wondered what kind of a life this man had led to look so tired until he smiled.
Or, itâs 1951, Harry is the owner of a music shop, and Louis is a traveling salesman making his way back home.

Say Your Prayers by nothing_but:
Summary:Â Louis was left wondering what the fuck this encounter had been. Coming to this camp - especially after learning that it was a religious one - he had never expected to find himself in a bathroom with the attractive, strictly Catholic, not-gay-or-anything head counsellor making flirty remarks. Quite the opposite, to be honest.
Or the one where Harry, head counsellor at a Catholic summer camp, dedicates his time to what he loves most, year after year. Itâs mostly the same every summer; the place, the topics, the games. This year, however, thereâs a new assistant counsellor stumbling into his camp, and possibly his heart.

Have A Little Faith In Me by FallingLikeThis:
Summary:Â Harry Styles remembers Louis Tomlinson fondly. They used to spend the summers bonding at Bible Camp, helping each other memorize bible verses for their weekly challenge against the boys in the other cabins, and chatting into the early hours of morning when they were supposed to be sleeping. They had been so close back then. Harry was heartbroken when Louis hadnât been there last summer. Heâd heard rumors, vague comments about how Louis had changed but he didnât believe them. He couldnât. Because the other boys, the ones from Louisâ home town, were saying that heâd started getting piercings and tattoos, that heâd come out as gay, and that heâd turned his back on God.
Harry had thought heâd never find it in himself to believe them but the image before his eyes has him suddenly questioning everything.

Atlas At Last by louisandthealien:
Summary:Â He doesnât know what he had been expecting out of the road trip itself besides burping contests and too much shitty gas station food with Oli and Stan, but in the brief moment before Harry ambles up his driveway, Louis idly wonders if this is about to become some sort of Gay Coming of Age story.
Maine to California in ten days. In which Zaynâs an open-shirt hippie they meet somewhere in Ohio, Liamâs the pastorâs son running away from home, and Niallâs the number they call on the bathroom wall.
Itâs 1978. Harry and Louis are just trying to get to San Fran in time for the Queen concert.

Back To You And Tennessee by rippedgloves:
Summary:Â Louis Tomlinson rises to rock and roll fame at age twenty three and is thrown into a life of luxury and excess, but being on stage isnât easy for a boy who has always stuck to the side-lines, and Louis struggles to deal with his new fame as he joins the Grand Ole Opry and is sent out on tour with names like Liam Payne and Elvis Presley. His life takes a turn, however, when his childhood role model, Harry Styles, joins them on tour, and the two become closer than two men in the spotlight are allowed to be.

Life Had Just Begun by xxPayne:
Summary:Â Itâs 1985. All the cool kids are wearing Members Only jackets and acid wash jeans. The gay rights movement might be gaining traction around the country, but for a small town in Colorado, even listening to Queen is an invitation for a beating. Louis Tomlinsonâs life is turned upside down when he comes face to face with the afterlife, and is given one seemingly simple mission: save Harry Styles.
