If Rhys accepts, he uploads Jack into Helios, and Jack announces Rhys as Hyperion's new president if Rhys declines, Jack forces him to upload him into Helios and seizes control himself. He successfully retrieves the upgrade, and is offered control of Hyperion by Jack, which Rhys either accepts or declines. Though initially the plan is for Fiona to infiltrate Jack's office, the security lockdown is accidentally triggered, forcing Rhys to enter it through a trapdoor beneath. Rhys infiltrates Helios disguised as Vasquez while Fiona impersonates a Hyperion tour guide. Scooter accompanies them to Helios, but before they arrive, he sacrifices himself to prevent the caravan from exploding.
The caravan is converted into a spaceship by Scooter and Janey Springs to make the journey. Vallory forces Rhys, Fiona, Sasha, Loader Bot, and Gortys to retrieve the upgrade from Handsome Jack's office on Helios, and sends August, Finch, and Kroger to go with them.
