After becoming CEO of Hyperion, Rhys finds himself forced into the unfortunate position of indebted to Handsome Jack. After Jack unveils his Jack model endoskeleton robotic suit and a plan to shove them – and his AI – into any disobedient Hyperion employee, dead bandit, or general corpse, Rhys flees his office.

After choosing three other possible people to join you as Vault Hunters (August, Felix, Athena, Springs, Zer0, Cassius, or an \"unknown\" character that you can purchase with money that you\'ve gained within the game which is revealed to be Claptrap), a plan is set out. Sasha and Fiona are to set up in the caravan to soar into the Traveler\'s crystalline stomach so they can explode the device that causes the Traveler to teleport. In order to get them to do that, Rhys must be a motivational speaker and get Gortys to move in such a way that the Traveler is set up for Sasha and Fiona to enter. The rest of the group would flank from the sides and do additional damage, but Vaughn would stay back in the base and prime a moonshot for when Fiona and Sasha would disable the teleportation device.
