Rhys looks between the two, then crosses his arms. "Look, Jack, I know that we haven't had the best times together. Yes, you made me rip off my arm and my eye and yeah, I tried to kill you on Helios... and let's not forget I did end up trapping you in an ECHO eye for a few months. But that was a different Jack who thought that he was the one and only Handsome Jack. It's called character development, and I've got some of my own." He raises his hands as he monologues and puts one over his heart, as if reciting a speech. "So, maybe it's not the best idea, but it's all I got. And you know what?" Rhys pauses for dramatic effect, then shrugs and lowers his hand. "I trust you, because we're friends. Friends trust each other."

"Its not you i'm distrusting, its them. What if they figure out i'm back, like some kind of back up system or something. Or what if, they decide for giggles to rip off your arm and your Echo eye. I don't want to end up trapped in that thing again Rhys." Jack responded, voicing his concerns near instantly. Rhys was right, he knew hyperion best, and he knew for sure, that someone there wouldn't be afraid to cause trouble one way or another.

Rhys stops to think. Hyperion wouldn't do that; at least not in Rhys' own facility. He motions to Zer0. "He'll be there to stop it. If anything starts happening, I'm sure Zer0 will be able to hear the screams. I'm not very quiet with that kind of stuff... Stuff as in, murder." He says, though he can't help but feel a little nauseous at that idea as well. "I won't let that happen to you, though. If anything, Timothy will make empty threats. They'd be stupid to attack now." He rubs the back of his neck.

"You never know. Just something to keep on the watch for." He stated with the slightest of shrugs, still feeling pretty uneased by all of this, but at least Rhys had a plan that might just work.

[mandalorian]

Rhys smiles reassuringly towards Jack, and raises his hands to fix his own golden tie that Zer0 had given him earlier. "I know, Jack. It's Hyperion, relaxing around them would be instant death." He says. "Now, lets figure out how to get you out of this and back into my head." He taps the holo-disk Jack is in.

[Agent Maine(Meta)]

Tsk, if i could even remember how i was put in it, that'd save us all a bunch of time. But when you've been shocked and it fries nearly all your systems like a mini EMP." Jack trails off, grumbling slightly to himself at the moment as he crosses his arms at his chest. "Also, the stupidest time to attack is usually the best time to attack. Because no one will be expecting it, everyones gaurd will be done, no defenses. Things like that. So if he starts making threats, then they wont be empty, they'll be promises." He stated, throwing his hands out and making a few vague gestures as well before he started pacong, mumbling to himself, his projection even flickering/glitching a bit due to the overload to some of the processors from Jack's distress.

Zero approaches however so to look at the disk from over rhys shoulder before indicating a slightly raised portion on the side, when pressed, it popped out to reveal a small plug in cable. Seemed simple enough. Thus Zero looked at jack with a raised brow. The AI seemed distressed, more so then usual. The distress might effect the download if they did it while he was online, so it'd be best for jack to go offline for this. This was going to be fun, jack back in Rhys head and thus rhys being the only one to see and hear jack.

”Thanks, Zer0.” Rhys says when Zer0 shows him the plug in on the holo disk. He hesitates, unsure if he should say anything else or jump right into it. Last time Jack was in his head, there was really no ground rules — mostly cause Rhys didn’t expect him to show up. Now Rhys had the opportunity to tell Jack what he can’t do, though he trusted the AI to already know most of it. But as soon as he turns to look at Zer0, he speaks without really meaning to. “Whatever happens in my head, stays in my head. If you accidentally find something gross, I don’t wanna deal with you complaining.” He warns, then picks up the disk. “Can you go offline, Jack? It’ll make this easier, cause uh, I don’t really wanna pass out again.” He smiles sheepishly at the AI.

"You rushed into it last time cupcake. Not my fault you passed out." Jack stated in defense before he complied, easily letting his hologram flicker out of view and the disk to stop glowing showing his offline state as Zero looked at Rhys, set a hand on his shoulder in a reassuring manner and even gave him a light kiss on the cheek.

[mandalorian]

Rhys sighs as he watches the holo-disk power down, and looks at Zer0 when the assassin leans in to kiss his cheek. He smiles at that. "Here goes nothing," He says jokingly, picking up the disk and turning it over gently. He hesitates, then plugs it into his systems. Almost immediately he feels like he's been electrocuted, and his entire body jerks forward as if he was punched in the back. Nothing else seems to happen though, only a tingle spreading from his feet up to his head. Once reaching his head, an alert pops up in his vision, from his ECHO eye, to tell him the download was complete. He takes the drive out carefully, taking a second before placing it down. He takes a deep breath. "Maybe... Maybe I forgot how weird that was."

[Agent Maine(Meta)]

Zero stood aside, watching to ensure Rhys would be okay. He figdets a bit when Rhys jerks and jolts from the download. Once Rhys seems to relax, he approaches to set his hands on Rhys to help steady him. "The eclipse is nigh / shadows hiding the danger / moonlight our safety." He stated.

With the download complete, jack didn't hesitate in coming back online and Heaven almighty was it weird. Rhys thoughts are so cluttered, was it always this cluttered? What ever, he lets his projection flicker out just as Zero had steadied Rhys. "Trust me cupcake, its just as weird for me too. And by the by. he's basically saying we should hurry and get to the meeting room. Because if we don't get there first, then it leaves timothy or one of the other board members to lay a trap behind the doors pretty much." He stated with a shrug of his shoulders.
