Hello

May I get your thoughts and/or headcanons about how Davis Pickle might have gotten to Pandora?

ooh fun question. ive got two theories.

the first is probably the canon explanation, he just followed athena and janey to pandora after life on elpis became unsustainable. theres a finite amount of resources left after the crackening, and the place is only going to fall apart further in the coming years. eventually he’s gotta cut his losses.

lucky for him, hes already got a friend on pandora that knows how to make a proper space ship. so hes gets out of there alright.

and the second idea is funner but also just Did Not Happen. he was involved with hyperion’s attack against pandora. not as any kind of combatant, but as a prodigy in tech and (to me, anyway) exposure to guardian/eternal tech out of proximity to the lost legion, he wouldve been valuable as an engineer.

jack hires him during the course of TPS, keeps him around after he takes over helios, and he gets involved with the loader takeover and vault project on pandora. and since no one Really Feels Great about killing a kid over the war he just kind of gets away with it. which is fair anyways because its not like a ~14 year old really has the mental awareness or responsibility for what hyperion was doing. and he didnt have much of an alternative because again. elpis had kind of gone to shit.

he still ends up living with athena and janey, though. whatever hes doin on pandora, hes doing it with them.
