*Why does Gaige scream in pain while under the effect of elemental damage? Unlike the other Vault hunters, she's never had any training and/or experience to deal with that type of pain.

You're a ''true Vault Hunter'' who doesn't let petty things like exploding trains wreck your ability to kick ass.

* Handsome Jack once makes an offhanded remark of how only six Sirens can exist at any given time, and that he knows of three. Lilith and Maya are obvious, seeing as how he was hunting the former during the quest you hear of this and had a wanted poster of the latter, but anyone who's finished the game knows ''[[TheWoobie exactly]]'' who the third one is.

** Actually, outside of the "reasons" you're thinking of, there's another reason, just as horrifying: [[spoiler: in one of his ECHO logs, Handsome Jack chews out his assassins for murdering random women and doodling tattoos on them to turn in as "Sirens". Not that he has any moral standards, just that he's irritated they're trying to swindle him with such an obvious ruse, seeing as how there are only six Siren's in the Universe and he already knows of three. He even says "I will admit it was mildly amusing the first dozen times you idiots tried it, but now my office smells like blood and marker fumes".]] Yeah, even though we can all agree that RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil, being [[spoiler: murdered and basically having your corpse sold off as a faked alien]] isn't much better.

* Phaseshift. To a tech saavy person, when Angel is using it in the beginning of the game, they assume that she is simply modulating the phase of a reference signal to open a door which would make sense. When she uses it again, she is changing the phase of another reference signal [[spoiler:to shut down Sanctuary's shields.]] So there is not any reason to assume or suspect that [[spoiler: she was a Siren and not an AI]] since she is using tech jargon to do exactly what she says she is doing.

* One of Gaige's lines when she goes down, roughly paraphrased, is "That's nothing, I've done worse to myself!" Now, considier her left arm. Her ROBOTIC left arm. A teenage girl '''maimed herself'''.
** Although the recent ECHO logs on YouTube suggest she cut her arm accidentally. It didn't harm her happy-go-lucky nature at all - in fact, she thought it was ''brilliant'', because it was an excuse to hack the rest of her arm off and replace it with a cybernetic one.
*** And that same cybernetic arm allows her to summon Deathtrap anywhere, anytime.

* The Lab Rats eyes have mutated so that ''something'' is strangely otherworldly about their eyes. They can project strange energy from their eyes, and they can also see something that has [[GoMadFromTheRevelation driven them quite insane.]] If you're playing Maya, when you Phaselock them, ''they see it more''. Now, Siren powers are all based on phasing things into another dimension. They're seeing into another dimension... The same one that Sirens can access, which may be where [[EldritchAbomination The Destroyer]] is from.
