I thought about Eridium.
Eridium could enhance a Siren's capabilities in many ways. But it can also have many consequences to it if absorbed in large quantities or by Non-Sirens.
The Inner Core and Core of Pandora had to be where The Destroyer is being held and trapped within.
The Vault of The Destroyer at the end of Borderlands 1 is not the true Vault, but is just a feeding cage for the mouth of The Destroyer. So that begs the question, what is the true form of the almighty star-devouring interdimensional creature. And most of all...
Does it have a heart?
The Mantale of Pandora had to be made of Eridium as well since when Roland and the others opened The Vault of The Destroyer, it had caused the Eridium Scar to appear on one side of Pandora.
And the Crust was naturally what I, along with everything else on the surface of Pandora, was standing on.
I tried thinking of possible places where there could have been possible Eridium that had to have been mined and are laying around before The Destroyer's Vault was opened at the ending of Borderlands 1, since Dahl themselves was a occupying mining coordination before they had a military force of their own.
...
...
...
That's when I finally remembered. Currently, Baron Flynt's men was hold up at Sanctuary and the old Dahl mining facility beneath it, within The Caustic Caverns, which had been abandoned by Dahl since the time they left Pandora and Tannis refused to join them in going back.
In the 'Minecraft Mischief' quest, you could obtain some Raw Eridium like the Eridium Nuggets that Lilith uses in Borderlands 2 to enhance her power.
I wanted to experiment with Eridum before the other Vault Hunters arrived in Fyrestone and I have no idea how long that would be.
I already had Lyra begin scouting around for the other Vault Hunters locations following the road Marcus arrives with his bus. And since in the comics Marcus had picked uo all of them, by that logic following the road backwards would possibly have me located them and get a approximation on when they would arrive in Fyrestone.
Going to where Sanctuary would one day be located. Based on his memory of the Geography and Topography of the various locations the player can go through.
That...and I followed my Echo map. I did both, just in case either one was wrong and incorrect.
After finding the approximated area for the entrance. I descended down into the Caustic Caverns.
The area was infested by swarms of Varkids, an evolving insectpid species, I traversed all the way through until i reached my first destination.
Having approached a seemingly ordinary looking wall. I examined it, the wall had some ore veins of gold across it but other than that did not look strange.
Having my Nanomachines take the form of a Pickaxe I took a swing at the ore vein yet to my suprise, my Pickaxe made of Titanium Nanomachines had actually been repelled and the vein had no signs of even the slightest mark.
I thought for about a second, thanks to my enhanced Mental capabilities; I reached down to grab a broken pieces of stone, that must have originally been apart of the wall.
This time I had Lyra form a drill with the Nanomachines that held the stone as its drilling tip, upon contact with the wall this time. The result was as expected.
Since the stone was made of the same material as the ore vein, by that logic it can harm itself.
The wall effortlessly broke into pieces given time, though I was forced to replace the drilling tip occasionally, eventually I was able to get through.
I repeated this a few times with each layer of the wall, meanwhile I was storing the broken pieces of the wall that were extra and that had gold ore veins in them into my Storage Space.

"No way...so it's true. It really does exist."
What I was looking at was a giant four legged-green-rectangular cactus with legs.
Why try explaining it when you clearly know what it is.
It's a Minecraft Creeper.
Yep...
When I looked around, I noticed that there are some things different with the area.
Most of the surroundings looked like the Minecraft world. But a majority of the room and in certain random areas, there seems to be a sort of Glitch effect.
One of the reasons why I had cane here was specifically to find out of Easter Eggs exist. I already found the Dark Souls Easter Egg by the ocean of acid not far away from the entrance to the Caustic Caverns. However, this one is the most significant one...since well...look at it, its literally a Minecraft Creeper in Minecraft textures with even some of the surroundings like Minecraft blocks.
This definitely confirms that other realities and Universes were connected to this Universe.
I cane to a theory on why and how this was even possible.
The Destroyer is an inter-dimentional being that had came from an entirely different Reality then this Universe.
The Eridians foresaw the destruction The Destroyer would cause and created a super weapon and had the help of Nyriad and her Sister Sirens to aid in powering the weapon.
It succeded and entrapped The Destroyer within The Great Vault aka. Pandora, but at the cost and sacrifice of the most advanced alien race to ever exist in the Borderlands Universe. The Eridian civilisation was no more.
However, when The Destroyer was trapped, or even arrived in this Universe. It must have caused ripples throughout this Reality and created numerous areas like this Minecraft area or good old Solaire...ah...I mean Solitaire down by the Bonfire...I mean the Gunfire at the Acid Sea.
All these areas are similar to the Time Wound in Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, at the Throat of The World. (A break point in reality spanning across Time)
Many Creepers were approaching me, but I just shot all of them with incendiary rounds causing them to explode prematurely.
It wasn't even a fight since they were big ass targets for me to shoot at.
I looked around the floor and collected alot of Sulfur that had been spread out. The Sulfur must have been apart of their Blood...or their equivalent of Blood at least. It would make for good research material.
I also saw what I had hoped to get.
The Longbow, a legendary Sniper Rifle that shoots out Minecraft arrows.
Now that that was done, I went to do the 'Minecraft Mischief' quest quiet quickly and obtained some Raw Eridium which I can finally research. My first piece of Eridium and I was quite excited at the prospects in how I could enhance my gear with it.
I wasn't able to find any more Eridium and decided to go do the 'Lost Treasure' Quest Red Chest and get the guns there out of curious. The Legendary pistol inside was definitely leagues abive my own sidearm, so i plan to dismantle it and redesign my own weapons with any Legendary or Pearlescent rarity gear.
