Why does Jack have a Vault symbol branded on his face? Lilith punched it there.For reference, this act disturbs Ath ena enough to send her into a Heroic Blue Screen of Death.
#BORDERLANDS THE PRE SEQUEL TV TROPES CRACK#
Then he loses his grip and vanishes, leaving behind a crack in the window and a streak of blood.
One (Gladstone) manages to get a handhold. Then he tosses them out the airlock on the mere possibility that one of them could be a mole - including the man who helped develop the huge robot army that Jack was going to use to retake the station - based on nothing but an offhand comment from said developer that there might be another mole on Pandora. And Jack spends the missions practically singing praises about how great these scientists are. In fact, in the mission prior to this, you spend the entire mission collecting personal items for them - a picture of a scientist's mentally-challenged son, a therapy teddy bear, etc. Even more horrifying, Jack knows all these scientists personally. Safety be damned, that was harsh, to say the least. For merely mentioning that there is a possibility that Zarpedon might have a mole in the Hyperion scientist team, Jack flushes them all through an air lock. I didn't ask for my girlfriend to be murdered, and get stranded on the moon with no food and a raging lady-boner! It is actually implied it was a younger relative that was killed, seeing how there's a teddy-bear where you find the second echo, and that it was mentioned that while the adult kraggon attacked her and she survived, the baby kraggon killed the "other two-legs". She's been stranded for months in total isolation, and even worries that she's not expressing her happiness at seeing somebody else - anybody else - properly during the poster quest, despite spending every moment of her dialogue smiling. Though unfolded in humorous "children's stories" that are not at all child-safe, Janey Springs' backstory is that she watched her girlfriend get eaten by a Kraggon, got attacked by Dead Lift, and had her only means of safely getting back to Concordia stolen from her. Knowing that her pet was the one thing she had trusted and loved for so long, and have it just have the monster that is her mother change it like that. Her favorite dog had just been turned against her by her own mother, the animal tearing at her neck, her father whimpering in the corner, her mother laughing. Even as you battle her, her entire mind is being systematically erased and rewritten. As the Felicity Rampant boss fight draws on, her voice becomes gradually deeper and more robotic, and she begins to say things that seem eerily similar to some of the combat quotes we're familiar with from the Constructors in Borderlands 2 - 'I see you, Vault Hunter.' as opposed to 'Target sighted.' for example. The fact he seriously considers the alternative of copying her before deciding that it isn't an option is a testament to just how different this Jack was to the one we know from Borderlands 2. What Jack intends to do to her will repair the reprogramming and eliminate the same personality defects causing her lack of co-operation, and he has no way of knowing if she actually has the ability to feel emotion, or if The Bosun has simply programmed her to emulate it. She was extensively tampered with and reprogrammed by The Bosun, and while we have no idea what she was like before this, it's reasonable to assume that her reaction to violence and unwillingness to co-operate with Jack's plan are the result of this tampering. 
It can be justified beyond that: Felicity is, for all intents and purposes, a malfunctioning machine.It's a horrible act, but his reasoning (needing the Constructor program online as fast as possible, with no time to store a backup of Felicity's program) makes a sad amount of sense, as not retaking the Helios station in time would be devastating. The worst part of this is that it's not even Jack's Moral Event Horizon.She had just changed her name to a word that means "happiness." What happens soon after is equal parts depressing as it is nightmarish, as Jack forcibly moves her into a new body, has her murder Scavs by the dozen, and tries to wipe her memory to retain only the baseline military AI. The ultimate fate of Skipper, or as she is then known, Felicity.Enemies being frozen and then shattered into icy chunks.
