It had been a while now since Tim became, well, Timothy Lawrence again; kind of. With all the shit that had went down and all the horrible things he had to do and experience being a body double to a genocidal megalomaniac. The death of Jack’s daughter had been the last straw for Tim. Angel had been the only person he had given a damn about throughout his time working for Jack, and the closest thing to a daughter to him than she could ever have been to that asshole. 

A silver lining presented itself to him when Angel came forth to him, in the form of an AI within the systems of Helios. Tim had been shocked, to say the least, and then a bit skeptical before ultimately relieved. After some discussion, they had agreed to download her AI into his digi-tech so that they both could get the hell out of that horrid space station and away from Handsome Jack once and for all and in search to hopefully find a way for Angel to have a body and live out a normal life. 

Element was always one not to look before he leapt. Sure, his Mechanoids swept through Hyperion's pipeline output stations like a raging storm of metal and machinery, tearing any Hyperion soldier and combat loader asunder. It was easy to redirect the flow of eridium into awaiting drums, to then be sent through the void tunnels to his newly built base. Hell, even building the structure itself went without a hitch. The problem however came with timing the raids on the pipelines to avoid Jack's suspicions, deploying the resource pods from orbit when Hyperion satellites weren't nearby to see them, and moving the cloaking units in that hid the base from Hyperion's watchful eyes. Not to mention the bandit camps that needed to be cleared out to avoid unwanted detection. Normally Element would just turn the massive plasmor cannons of his battlecruisers and bombard the camps from orbit. But, that would send one hell of a "hey Hyperion check out the gun show!"

Stealth was needed. And stealth took time. Finally, after a month and a half of clandestine raids, waiting for satellites to pass, and sending squads of commandoids to eliminate bandit camps, Element and his forces were ready to move Angel to her new home. The plan would begin with a massive assault on the Bunker itself; a power play to show Jack what happens when he sticks his nose in Void Guardian business. It wasn't a coincidence that Element found void crystals and void mutated skags in Hyperion labs across the planet, even after he sent Jack numerous messages explaining the dangers of the void. It was probably the eventual reply from Jack that pissed Element off: "I don't care. The crystals are cool. I'm keeping them. There's room for only one Hero on this planet pumpkin."
