-> '''Lilith:''' ''He means hi. That's his way of saying hi.''
-> '''Roland:''' ''Right, sorry. Hi. I'll be honest, soldier: we're losing this war. We've been trying to stop Jack for years -- taking out his men, raiding his Eridium mines -- but it hasn't been enough. But you... you met Jack and lived. You fought off the Rippers AND the Bloodshots, saved my ass and Lilith's...''
-> '''Lilith:''' ''Thanks, by the way.''
-> '''Roland:''' ''If we're going to survive this, we need your help, Vault Hunter. Now, we thought Jack wanted to open a Vault and use its power to wipe us off Pandora, but, thanks to some intel I stole from a Hyperion convoy, I found out... we were wrong.''
-->-- '''Beginning of the mission in Sanctuary'''
After freeing Roland from the Bloodshots ''and'' Hyperion, Roland and Lilith are finally reunited in Sanctuary, and you with them. Roland briefs you on the situation at hand: Jack's mining operations are done to uncover one of the biggest and most kept secrets in Pandora: the Warrior, an Eridian monster of yore with the power to wipe and destroy entire populations at once. And Jack wants to control it so he can cleanse Pandora out of anything that opposes Hyperion, whether it be bandits or citizens from non-Hyperion-aligned populations.
Therefore the mission is to travel to the Tundra Express, north of Three Horns - Divide, and meet the informant of the Crimson Raiders: none other than Mordecai, [[VideoGame/Borderlands1 the third former Vault Hunter]], who's sniping with Bloodwing at his helm. Roland mentions that he's as good as gathering intel as he is at drinking, so you need to wake him up.
Afterwards you'll also meet another of the Raiders' allies: a child named Tiny Tina, "Pandora's deadliest 13-year-old" and a demolitions expert.
This chapter gets you to the Tundra Express and End of the Line levels, which are home to the missions "Mighty Morphin'", "You Are Cordially Invited" chain, "No Hard Feelings", "Mine, All Mine" and "The Pretty Good Train Robbery". In addition, the levels are home to the following challenges:
* '''Tundra Express''': "Cult of the Vault", "Positive Reinforcements", "What's Yours Is Mine", "Bug Off" and "King of the Buzzard World".
* '''End of the Line''': "Master of All He Surveys" and "Cult of the Vault"
