-Lost & Found-

Claptrap had been unconscious for two hours. The Crimson Lance was in total control of Old Haven. The Crimson Lance hadn't taken any casualties. The smoke signals still rose from the town as a trick to bait bandits in the Rust Commons in to investigate Old Haven. The Crimson Lance patrolled Old Haven and overturned every piece of furniture, every building, every place where bandits could be hiding. Claptrap was assumed dead by the Crimson Lance, the green Claptrap in the cage was still alive but beyond terrified. Outside Old Haven however, the vault hunter who had helped Claptrap many times before stopped in her Runner and jumped out. She opened the door to Old Haven which had been left unlocked so bandits could easily come inside thanks to the Crimson Lance. Lilith found four dead bandits in the room dividing Old Haven and the Rust Commons. She opened the door to Old Haven and saw a group of Crimson Lance infantry standing in a line by a wall to her far left. The wall had six bandits slumped against it with blood splattered all over it. Obviously she thought, this was a firing squad. She took out a MIRV corrosive grenade and threw it at the firing squad. The grenade exploded melting the Crimson Lance immediately. The corrosive explosion alerted Crimson Lance infantry on the rooftops who saw Lilith by the entrance. They shot on sight but Lilith was far too quick entering phasewalk. She scaled the pipes stuck on the walls to reach the rooftops. The Crimson Lance soldier on the rooftops right to the entrance kept his sights on the main entrance for Lilith. Lilith punched the soldier in the spine which caused the Crimson lance soldier to melt from the inside. Lilith kept low; she made her way quietly to the smoke container on the rooftops and shut it down. She dropped from the rooftop to the ground where she rolled behind a washing machine to avoid a pair of Crimson Lance defenders running around the corner. Lilith moved quickly but quietly to a nearby alleyway where the Claptrap had been tossed into the shutter. The Crimson Lance was called away to the apartment canal district so there was little resistance where Lilith was. She looked inside the shutter and found the defunct Claptrap.

She walked inside and inspected Claptrap. Claptrap didn't have any serious injuries, but all the injuries he had sustained before hand had taken its toll and Claptrap looked in bad shape. Lilith woke up the unconscious Claptrap who abandoned his friendly nature and fed Lilith harsh words "Funny, how just when you think life can't possibly get any worse it suddenly does. I think you ought to know I'm feeling very depressed. A guy finally gets a break from all the shooting and raping. Oh yes, these are desperate men. Just when he's having a rest, you come along and repair him. I suppose you want a reward for exposing me to more of this torturous existence." Claptrap handed Lilith a backpack SDU. Lilith told Claptrap she will escort Claptrap out of Old Haven. Claptrap agreed, despite his depression he wanted out of Old Haven. Lilith backtracked with Claptrap out of the alley and through the dense corners of the rooftop area. They got to the main entrance where a group of Crimson Lance infantry were investigating the corroded infantry Lilith had killed. Lilith walked with her explosive assault rifle aimed at the group while Claptrap made a break for it to the main entrance door. Claptrap opened it and dived inside where the door closed behind him. Gunshots and distorted words were all that Claptrap heard. Claptrap saw the dead bandits and ran for the door leading to the Rust Commons. Claptrap finally escaped the ravaged town of Old Haven. Claptrap began to move to the right where the gate leading to the Salt Flats stood. He saw a red Claptrap there who saluted Claptrap when he was near him. The red Claptrap said "Greetings! Do you want access to the Salt Flats?"

"I don't know, anywhere but here." Claptrap continued "Humanity has brought me nothing but misery." The red Claptrap suddenly changed his expression and whispered to Claptrap

"Those flesh-bags treat you bad?"

"Yes, terribly."

"Well my lonely Claptrap, you've got two choices." The red Claptrap went on "Continue to watch them move their meat-flaps or take a stand."

"I'm with you." Claptrap told the red Claptrap who simply said in return

"Follow me." Claptrap followed the red Claptrap to a slope to the left of the Salt Flats gate where they reached the peak where the cliffs stood. The red Claptrap pushed a rock that was stabbed into the cliff face where a hidden door opened. They both walked in to the underground network of the Hyperion Corporation.
